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

Great ROM!
Thanks a lot it works like a charm with greek language installed
can i use this rom on lenovo S820??? It is like very same with A820……
No, the rom is not compatible
what about battery guys, is it like on stock roms or worse?
Battery life is pretty good. With little usage I'll manage up to two days.
With really "little" usage you can easily have one week on one charge ……
Any fix about the wireless display?
No.. I also tested all other 4.2 but none of them work with wireless display.
Absolutely stabile ROM. I'm using it more month, and I haven't any problem with my phone. I want to thank the author this ROM.
how long should first boot take?
i have no camera… should i re-flash it?
you can, or u can install snap camera ($) or some other free one…
Best ROM so far. Please add gradient statusbar.
for me battery usage is correct, on par with most roms, nothing specially bad or good (maybe tending to good).
Now in Spanish too (thnks) and performance is superB, specially on games which are the most demanding program I use (its also smooth in menus and such, but ADW launcher helps w that too). Having tried most roms for A820 (MIUI, colorOS, and many "normals"), I could say this is the best one (plus It doesn't come with "crap", I prefer small roms where I can install my things, that roms with many programs where I have to uninstall 50% of em).
Is this better than Superthan's?
Been quite a lot since i tested superthans, maybe its time to re-do the test, but at that time it was not polished
.
Recently I tried a mod done by some1 else based on superthan's rom and I didnt like how it performed (idk if it was the base rom or the mod), basically antutu gives less points in 2D/3D benchmarks and feels worse in some games (It's not a placebo, the conclusion came the other way around, after feeling some roms bad in games, I started to do antutus…), and I want performance for games (I game a lot in planes).
