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
- Fixed ID3 tags of ringtones, now displayed in English

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

Infrared, Check your e-mail
Checked. I personally like the black/nexus-like theme, but it requires time to change all images and colors on the standard Lenovo theme or pack it into an system apk. I can probably do this, but it won't be quick. I can probably replace framework resources, but there are also lenovo resources. It's not that simple task if I want to give the user ability to chose dark or light theme, it's time consuming.
Infrared, now it's clear. Thank you!!!

Infrared,
I like what I read about this rom, but I have not dared to flash it or any others yet.
But I will make the flash later when I see most issues are solved, which it seems now.
I have question if rom have scandinavian language, I use Norwegian (Norsk bokmål), I did
not see if it has been added.
Also I like the FM radio that came with Lenovo, runs without earplugs.
Also the Lenovo camera and video worked ok. Also the Lenovo battery monitor I like.
Is LeSafe in Your rom ?
So many of the Lenovo things are ok, except for chinese that I do not understand.
I got the phone when it had Eglish and Chinese language, so I complained to the distributor and
they will send me a SD card with the multi language firmware. Can I extract the Norwegian from
it and use update from sd card after I have flashed Your rom ?
Or is it as easy as copy the language file (locale) from lenovo rom and paste it to Infrared rom ?
Unfortunately it's not that easy to add different locales/languages. All system apps need to be decompiled, added resource files, the recompiled and put back original signature of the file. It is very timeconsuming. Same applies for extracting language resources. Additionally, some of the framework files have to be internationalized too, but not all of them.
This means, if the update overrides these files, then all other changes made in my rom for these apps will be lost.
Lenovo FMRadio is there, camera and video are also there. Same applies to Lenovo Powersaving. LeSafe, SOS, LeNote are removed. If you still need them, you can backup these apps from /system/app to your sdcard.
Hi!
"Fixed ID3 tags of ringtones, now displayed in English"
How can i do this with other rom?
Thx in advance.
Load the files in a playlist with some music player (I personally use foobar).
In my case filenames were written in English, so I did a batch job to copy filenames to ID3 tags of the files, then edit some of them if needed.
Ye ye ye will be nice if you share with us language files
If you need help with the translations for Dutch NL/BE, feel free to pm me.
infrared, if you need help for translate from english to spanish I can help you. You only say me that you need and I do it!
It happens when the page is being uodated. After that it's hidden until a moderator approves it.
Hi! your page has been erased for any minuts! :S Now I can load without problems. I hope that all it's ok!
Hi Infrared
I was very unhappy with my stock ROM (GPS and bluetooth connection issues) and i tried to flash your one which looks quite completed. when i restarted in recovery mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power i was presented with a chinese menu) i have managed somehow to guess how to flash your rom but nearly bricked my two days old phone. Is there a way i can get rid of that chinese menu and replace it with something in english i can read and understand? I think I managed to backup my original ROM with Online Nandroid Backup which is aparently compatable with CWM. I also downloaded ROM Manager which says i have CWM 5.x.x.x installed but every time i try to use (restore or backup) it i am presented with this chinese menu. Please help. It seems like you know thing or two.
Keep up the good work!
Mersi mnogo predvaritelno!
