DESCRIPTION

Android: 4.1.2
Kernel: A820_S150 (Kernel&Radio)
Root: YES
Based on: HoloDark 1.4 (smart-ass_fox)

HoloDark 1.4 (vMS 1.7)

"Hidden-text"	Select Show
Changes/Fixes (not all mine!) 1. Kernel and Modem.img from S150 2. Added: Busybox, Xposed, GravityBox, TotalCommander, FlasPlayer, ads filtering 3. GPS set for Europe 4. Improved feeling when scrolling the list. Looks like it from the ROM Infrared/Cappa72. 5. FM Radio from Lenovo ROM (works without headphones) 6. Superuser/root manage by Koushik Dutta apk ( i think it's looks better ) 7. Separate ringtone for each SIM card (in settings: voice-call ringtone = SIM1(3G), video-call ringtone = SIM2 8. Enter to the EngineeringMenu in DevelopOptions 9. Reasonable number of gapps 10. 1% step battery indicator (changed appearance) 11. Changed font, Holo dark theme 12. Silent camera (focus sound), and record to MP4 file 13. Management of programs startup in Settings 14. More options in the Reboot menu 15. Centered Dialpad, little fixed application of Contacts and SMS 16. Replaced mount point of internal memory and SD card 17. Good Polish translation I think… 18. A lot of things I do not remember or have not seen/known

HoloDark 1.4 (vMS 1.9)

Changes/Fixes: 1. Update Market, and other Google stuff 2. Replace Android Keyboard with Google Keyboard ('swype' will work after automatic update only via WiFi) 3. Replace default Andorid Calendar by Google one 4. GravityBox out of box, Xposed without Installer. If you have problem with it you can manualy download and activate Xposed directly (from XDA) 5. Fix problem with voice recognition 6. Fix problem with search box on desktop 7. Fix email app (look and work) 8. Fix problem with Google Drive and other strange apps 9. Disable launcher rotation

HoloDark 1.4 (vMS 2.1)

"Hidden-text"	Select Show
Changes/Fixes: 1. Replace root application. Previous after update crash and not work 2. Restored old good Calendar app. 3. BesAudEnh work. However, I suggest switch off because weak sound. 4. Update gapps and other things. 5. SMS – characters limit after which the message will change automatically to MMS'a changed from 4 to 64. For MMS add subject or other media as always. 6. Added support for init.d scripts + some stolen scripts for test 7. The choice of destination (Phone/Sdcard) during installation for local *.apk file (not Market, and not full translated to other lang). 8. You can take panoramic pictures. 9. Odex, Zipalign, graphic optimization, and hundreds of other things that could go wrong

Known bugs:
- ~~The camera works, take pictures, record videos, but can not take panoramic photos~~ (btw what I know all in all the 16:9 photo are only 6Mpx )
- If the battery level is below 10%, then the automatic backlight does not work and other strange things happen sometimes

Problems?
If you have a problem then the first reboot the phone, it helps to fix most of the basic problems. Second download file again and reflash ROM, sometimes happens that something bad download, transfer or other. Third write in the comments your comments. It would be nice if you exactly describe the problem: what, where, when, who, what, are you sure you have the Lenovo A820

Installation via Recovery (TWRP/CWM)

"Hidden-text"	Select Show
Step 1: Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory Step 2: the shutdown state. While holding down: – Power button + volume button up + volume button down, to enter the recovery mode. – !!! MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES !!! – Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Check: Davik Cache, Cache, Data -> Swipe to Wipe Step 3: Return to main -> Install -> Select your ROM -> Swipe to Confirm Flash Step 4: Install complete, restart the phone Patience required – first boot takes a while.

Everything you do at your own risk. But I think it will be fine

※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM

Thanks mastersanta. Really there is not reason to update the rom (after the root fix of course). The rom is perfect. There are not bugs..The best rom for our Device.

@mastersanta: I did a fresh install as usual (factory reset+cache+davik cache removal). I used Kernel S150 CWM 6.0.4 by Cappa72.

I managed to fix root in "v19" with mtkdroidtools. Only connect the phone by usb with usb debugging, open mtkdroidtools and click in "fix root".

Hope it helps.

Guys what CWM/TWRP are you using to install 1.9 version? I can't get it to work. It freezes during start up – screen saying "Updating android device" or something similiar.

@fernandojhr – have you been able to run scripts to fix partition sizes on this ROM and TWRP 2.5.0.0? If yes, how did you do it exactly? Thanks in advance.

by the way, if someone wants to use Panoramics, For me they work, using a 4.3 camera which i installed in other rom months ago (titanium backed).

If i dont recall wrong, it was this one (or similar):

http://www.androidgadgematic.c.....camera-apk.html

Do not uninstall default camera, as 4.3 one wont record videos for me, is not the best thing, but mixing both you have all the features
