Error while charging and generate "spam" in /data/core
Mountpoint and description for memory (sdcard and internal memory)
Occasional problem when performing file operations.
Reduce bitrate for video. The quality will be the same (i guess), but the output file will be much smaller.
Autostart option in settings
Google Play, Google Keyboard
Clock app,Cyanogen Calculator
A ton of changes which even I do not understand 
I checked WiFi Direct – works correctly but need an external application to transfer data.
If you have a problem with the contacts you need to check the options of displaying, or import them again.
Contacts are recognized after a minimum of 9 digits. I can change it but for now I prefer to leave as is.
All tested using TWRP. CWM – unknown, but it should work

1. Added support for several languages. There is no possibility that all is well, but I tried to add as many as I can. I'm not omniscient.
2. Added SIM Toolkit and NoteBook. Removed redundant widgets and some unnecessary files.
3. Adding support for multiple users
4. Fixed a problem with the recording after adding effects.
5. Added support for headset button.
6. Changed the YouTube application. Reason: poor quality of playback in previous version.
7. The little fix in installation script. Added full of BusyBox options witch update.
8. Fixed caller_ID and SMS, little optimization in apk files, ODEX and other things.
Known issues:
1. Occasional freezing on "Lenovo" screen on (re)start. Not everyone even notice  Simply remove the battery and reboot. Probably the reason is Xposed/Gravitybox but thing to check.
2. Miracast still not working

@mastersanta:
I guess there is a bug in the version II: incoming calls do not show name and picture of the caller, only the number.

Anyone else with the same problem ? Or is it cause I used Giaur´s inofficial update ? Thanks for your response.
When will be updated to android 4.4 (kitkat) ?
Ask MediaTek
Never.
Касательно обновления до KitKat. Однако есть надежда – на lenovo-forums появилась инормация об обновлении ряда моделей до Android 4.4., среди них и наши доноры.
Hi, just want to say this is really great ROM, but i have some problems. As first, instead of increase of performance, as it is written in the description of the second update, i rather see a decrease, even in games and ui that is running slightly less smoothly than in the last version. Idk if it’s bad flash or something but i don’t see any advantages against the last one. And the second problem is, skype won’t show the message bar when rotated to landscape mode. Same problem was in the last version, i’ve tested the other roms based on 4.1 jb and it worked alright ecxept the performance that is a lot better here(or was, until now). Please, could you do something with these problems? It really bothers me to type in portrait mode XD But apart from these, i must really say that it’s best rom based on jb4.2 yet. Keep up the best work, greetings from Czech republic.
Tis not good ROM. Many malfunctions and bugs. Superthans 4.2.1 better.
I don't think so. Perfmance is worse, camera is crap (2 cameras, huawei camera incomplete because some libs are missing, google camera no 720p). But you always can use superthan if you like.
So why are you talking here? Go to the website of superthan's rom.
This rom has some small bugs but is better.
… PS and is aosp.
Wireless display is not working..
Indeed. Do you know any 4.2 for A820 with working wireless display?
I think on Petro’s1990 s920 port for a820 is working.
Thanks for info but did you tested and found it working?
So – of course, on Petro's 1990 port (ColorOs), Miracast doesn't work. So you are definitely wrong, Staf1988i and this is what I expected.
Whether the vMS 4.2.1 installation – II [02/14/14] on vMS 4.2.1 – I [01/28/14] atop through TWRP 2.5.0.0 updating is possible or to put from scratch? Whether autobrightness in vMS 4.2.1 – II [02/14/14] is corrected? And so the insertion is very even not bad
Ok Giaur relax. ( I m definitely) haha…
Look on the phone says that i m connected.
