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

Best rom ever, incredibly stable. Love it!
The vMS-III seems a lot more stable than vMS-II. I've updated 5 days ago and it's working really well.
I've already restarted the phone at least 30 times and it has not freezed in Lenovo logo anytime, in vMS-II each 2 times I restarted the phone 1 it freezes.

vMS-4.2.1-IV Thank You!
Hi mastersanta,
would it be possible to have just an update from III to IV to save the hassle of a complete new install ?
Thanx in advance
Your
Wolfgangt
It more comlecatid.
???
What hassle? Wipe system+cache+dalvik, install rom and you are done.
Not when your phone is heavily customized ….
I generated update script eaisly, as always. You can also make clean install and then restore data.
giaur500,
can you be so kind to explain how you generate an update script ??
wolfgangt
wolfgangt,
I was unable to find tool for this, so I developed my own application. It simply compares files checksum and generates output that contains changed/added files and updater-script to unpack and delete items via cwm.
@giaur500
Thank you for your reply. I have not the knowledge to do that.
Thanks, VMS IV works like a charm and doesnt have random disconnects.
Its a perfect rom , congratulations!!!!!!
Guys make something with miracast…
Forget it.. there is nothing possible to do
To do:
fix Clock app – unable to set the label for the alarm clock (fc)
fix Settings app – you can't save a custom sound profile. After reboot, the profile disappears
fix SMS/Contact - improve the presentation of this black theme because sometimes terribly merges with the background
Something else that I forgot? This ROM probably never will be perfect :-D
Forgot to update to 4.4 version.
you can add:
- fix for headset button (it only accepts the call, it's not possible to close it)
- fix for the sim indicator when you send sms (it indicates always the second sim, until v2 it was ok if i remember right)
- (suggestion) possibility to choose between full shutdown and quick shutdown
you said it will never be perfect, but I say it's the closest rom to perfection, you did a great job!
