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

nice ROM,
no hebrew
No Hebrew is a no go
How many people in the world speak hebrew as their first language ? This list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.....native_speakers
says 5.3 Mio, just behind the Tatar language.
So it is important for you, but not for the rest of the world.
I have just flashed version III and as with version I, the front camera in not recognised. I have tried everything I can think of and my a820 no longer has the front camera facility which is rather annoying.
Does anyone know of an easy fix for this problem?
You tried everything…. really? You rather should try to buy phone with front camera built in. Because Lenovo A820 doesn't have front camera.
You either have fake A820 or you think the light sensor is a front camera.
Lenovo A820 does not have front camera.
Super! Very good work!
I hope that wifi will be like in VMS II in the next update. VMS III has random disconnects and definitely takes longer to connect.
It causes camera crash. This patch is not suitable for this rom. Also – any camera app works, you should only avoid any Lenovo camera stuff (because it causes color change and possibly crashes).
This 13mp lib for camera also adds support for flash but our phone doesn't have it physically.
So after install we can't use any google camera for shooting photo it will cause gallery crash and we'll see the needless flash icon.You can use 13MP mode with other camera program.Under Camera zoom FX it works good.
No Herbew.
Hello, I have two questions:
1) Why is there no ecrypt phone option available in security section of settings? Is it possible to offer this for those who want extra security or for those who need to encrypt their phones because of their job policy?
2) Would it be possible to disable automatic conversion of text message to multimedia messages when they are longer than 3×160 characters?
Thanks.
