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

There's new superthan's 4.2.1 aosp + camera fix what I've used for several weeks. Have been very satisfied and will not bother to test other ROMs now. It seems no one tested these both and get them compared.
I tested both – both are good but superthan is worse. Superthan: annoying overscrool and scrolling is too sensitive, not possible to set install location for new apps, camera is not fixed – I preffer google camera and gallery and it does not work on superthan (dark picture and no hd recording).
Did you test for superthan's new perrfect camera fix when you tested the ROM?
"not possible to set install location for new apps,"
You'll define location for new app installations in Storage/Preferred install location/internal,SD card or Let the system decide
BACKUP and RESTORE?????? I cant found it
@FLASH:
"Did you test for superthan's new perrfect camera fix when you tested the ROM?". Yes, but I want all camera apps to work as should and not dark, not this only one perfect camera. I preffer google camera and Focal – both don't work on superthan – no 720p and photos are dark,
Also screen scroll sensitivity is so annoying, I don't want to use superthan rom until it's fixed, really.
Hello mastersanta,
Can you start doing rom to newer phones such as s650 which is cheaper and better?
Best regards
Better ? The processor is weaker.
http://gb-sb.blogspot.fr/2013/.....-quad-core.html
In antutu they have similar result, but s650 has 8GB ROM, flash light and is cheaper
Who cares about Flash light and I've 32 GB class 10 sd-card.
I am only saying that lenovo s650 is cheaper and better (Antutu ~17k, flashlight, 8GB rom and better design) so only positives
And in addition less weight (126g)
ok, if you love it so much just leave this topic and go develop a rom by yourself, this topic is ONLY for the lenovo a820 and for mastersanta's rom!
Why this aggression?
It was just a question to mastersanta if he can doing rom for lenovo s650. Pozdrawiam 
This ROM looks more fast than stock one.Thanks
You have a very ugly cunt, Flash.
About the miracast problem.I've read some forums about this issue on A820.For now people decided this is a hardware problem.Then maybe that could it be and not a bug of ROM.
Also I want to tell this ROM has a good russian translation almost perfect very smooth launcher and quick work in interfaces.
ja mam taki problem ze gdy np jestem w pracy i nie ma zasiegu to play przechodzi na roaming… i wtedy wysle kilka smsow i nagle koniec zasieg jest ale smsow nie wysle ani polaczenia … i musze wtedy zrobic restart
forget Play, make Plus roaming permanent (choose Plus operator manually)
