v2.3.5a
- Some of the Google apps/framework files seem to be broken somehow. Replaced them with older version that seem to work. Update from GooglePlay if you need. Will try to update them in the rom, but for now this should be fine.
————————————-
- Updated Russian, Polish and Hungarian (approx 95%) – new version of IdeaFriend is not translated
- Updated Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese here and there
- Updated GoogleApps and GravityBox
- Update kernel to S150
- Optimized png files in almost all apps
- Revised scripts and replaced sqlite3 binary with faster one
- Scrolling in lists and animations should be smoother
- Deleted line in build.prop that disables JIT compiler. If anyone need it can always add it again.

Then you can try to restore the messages from the backup and see if it will still work (not tested with restore).

Update Lambda v2.2.1 to v2.3.1 (CWM/TWRP)

Due to several request, this flashable CWM zip updates v2.2.1 to v.2.3.1.
User settings and installed aps should stay in tact, but keep in mind there might be some mistakes. I tried to include all changes.
Tested with clean installation 2.2 -> 2.2.1 -> 2.3.1, so there's always possibilty it doesn't work for you with all installed apps.

V2.2 (CWM/TWRP)
| Hidden-text |
SelectShow |
- Fixed issue with Lenovo Browser, it's now there
- Added raw multilanguage support, but translations vary from language to language and from app to app. Translated many apps. Supported languages/locales – af am ar bg bn ca cs da de el en_GB es es_US fa fi fr hi hr hu in it iw ja ko lt lv ms nb nl pl pt pt_PT ro ru sk sl sr sv sw th tl tr uk vi zu

Update from V2.2 to 2.2.1 (Patch)
- Fixed* callerId matching issues, however it's adjusted for Bulgarian GSM numbers, so it might not work in your country. Credits to C3C076 from xda!
- Chinese city names removed from contacts and call logs – not displayed anymore
- Fixed problem with initialization of Sony Clear Audio in config files
- Standard launcher modified, theme is removed. All needed icons/styles are encapsulated in the launcher.
- Added two additional and helpful options in power menu – Reboot and Recovery
- Boot/shutdown animations changed to Lenovo
* You will need to manually remove all contacts and import them again in order to activate the fix. Also remove all message threads. After that new ones will be grouped correctly
Update script tries to keep all user settings, so your launcher screens and wallpaper should be preserved. However, if you flash the update over a fresh V2.2, you will still need to remove the lotus and missing widgets from launcher screens, then change the background if you want. As always, make a full backup, just in case. Script wipes cache partition and dalvik-cache, so first boot will take time. I will address other issues in future version, but it might take longer time to release it. So far updates were very frequent, but as the ROM gets mature enough, it doesn't require many changes. Please report any problems you encounter, they are taken into account.

LenovoSystemUI-mod-CWM (CWM/TWRP)
- Updates SystemUI with 1% battery mod
- Updates to empty SIM display mechanism. Indicators for unpopulated slots are now hidden. Credits to C3C076 from xda.

Install ROM:
V2 and up
Download desired zip and copy on sdcard.
You need a modified recovery to install the firmware and updates. If you have it already, proceed to step 3. If you don't have, follow these steps:
1. Download Lenovo drivers, unzip the archive. Turn off the phone and remove battery. Open device manager and connect the phone to PC. Watch for new devices. It will be displayed as МТ65хх Preloader. You need to be quick, because it will dissapear in some second. Click on it with the right button and select update driver. Point the wizard to the driver folder, it will install the correct driver automatically.
If it doesn't work with removed battery you can try to power on the phone and turn on developer options in settings or enter meta mode – hold Volume Down and Power buttons. Then connect the phone to PC again.
2. Download and extract Recovery zip and Flash tools. Run Flash Tools, click on DL DA All With Check Sum, load the scatter file located in Recovery folder, uncheck Preloader and hit Download (F6). Remove battery from phone and connect it to PC. When done, a green circle will appear.
3. Enter recovery mode – hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power buttons until you see the logo. Make a backup of your current system first. Install new zip.
※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
Member Info
For me is the opposite of that. When calling the screen is always on. But i think that is not a big deal.
Can you test if there's a difference with the latest build: http://d-h.st/iULz
OK downloading.
hi!
i install the new proton-z kernell and now in viber i can communicate only in loudspeaker mod or in headset. Maybe it's coincidence but how can i revert the first one? );
proximity sensor still don't work.
not working, too. But I noticed that there's some different icon like, phone and camera. It's cute.
Here comes a suggestion. The EPO server address seems wrong in the option->location->GPS->EPO->download.
I'm using app from google play named MT GPS to get the proper file.
Maybe there's a way to change the option that download the EPO.DAT from the right MediaTek servers?
I can change it if I find where the old one is. Haven't noticed it myself, so thanks for the report.
It think it was changed recently? Because my last epo download had been last month and now it just displays an error.
Ok, found it. Need to figure out the correct address and will fix it in the rom so we don't need an external app.
Should have released a test version earlier… it's easier to find bugs when more people are testing it.
Done. It now uses the http server and download is instant
Thanks again for the report.
Thanks for the hotfix!
Maybe we can release the ROM updating in this page to make everyone to test it?
There's a way to hang up the phone by setting Option->Accessibility->Power button ends call.
To who meets the proximity sensor problem can shortly solved when calling.
@tribal-ua you can flash A820_4.2_stock_kernel+uboot.zip or A820_4.2_stock_kernel.zip and try again.
New version available, can be installed as an update, but don't ask me to release an update zip with the changed files only.
It will be like a nightly build for now, except it is build manually and only when there's a change.
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/001.....0814_052536.zip
What's new (major changes only):
- Added Autostarts Manager. By turning off some non-important apps I was able to increase available ram. It's borrowed from LewaOS and works fine.
- EPO server and method changed from ftp to http and it seems the http server is much better and faster
- Fixed SMS vulnerability for MTK roms (when someone sends an sms with content "=", the phone restarts).
- Improved autobrightness
- Call reject (blacklist) functionality
- Automatic call recording option (Call Settings -> Other Settings)
- Updated zoneinfo from 2012 to 2014 version
Uncheck Download with Dev-Host Download Manager and click second button to download the zip.
Maybe I should try another file hosting.
The rom is packed with my custom kernel, so if you have problems with proximity and camera pink spot, you can download from the same folder and flash the stock kernel.
After flashing A820_signed_120814_052536.zip with TWRP 2.6.3.0 by dadi11. First, it stuck on boot image, then I put off my battery and put it back, I reboot my devices successfully. But, after reboot, I realized that lost my root permissions and I can't not connect to wifi. That's pretty weird. I flashed the new kernal A820_kernel_proton_z_120714_013412.zip last night. And then I flashed A820_signed_120814_052536.zip . Anything wrong with recovery , kernal or something else?
Plus, after flashing, the app ROM Update is not working. It flash black and send a error meggagebox.
Yeah, sorry about that. There was something wrong, but the new build should be ok.

Hello
I installed latest version nightly and I have too problem with proximity sensor. Light and proximity sensor version is the same like in @jwchen119.
In my opinion autobrightness very lowers the brightness.
Phone I bought 2013.09
Autobrightness can't be perfect, because the sensor is basic and not very accurate, but if you have a problem with proximity, then flash the stock kernel until I figure out how to solve it.
That is just a test version of the rom and for now it will be packed with my custom kernel, because it is easier for me this way.
The final version will have a graphical installator.
Hi infrared, can you patch epo server address in lambda 2.4.1 too?
Shoot a bug!
When I send a SMS ,it stuck at sending.
Oops! It's my fault, I unchecked the setting in Oprion->Autostarts manager->Messaging.
So I was not able to send a message. So far so good, the rom work perfectly except proximity
