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

Member Info
Really its the best 4.2 until now.
Already said that my friend. Its the best 4.2. Hahaha….ok…Understood. Noone likes Lenovo camera.
Thanks for the rom mastersanta.
This ROM is most for East-Europen users. Only English, Dutsch and Italian for West-Europen users!
Is beaten by this 4.2.1 https://www.needrom.com/mobile.....erfect-edition/
no way
It's ok, but why every 4.2.1 ROM have problem with Youtube? I mean lower resolution of videos than on 4.1.2
And is it chance to add 1080p video recording support? Because for example my A820 supports this (I checked).
thanks for your work
is it possible o add french language ?
I will add a translation for as much as I can. I have some official translations, including Spanish, French, and the rest. If time permits, of course, add this
Installing applications on SD card works just like other official ROMs. Not all want to go to the memory card by default, but there should be no problem with manual change.
Detected and confirmed problems:
- Miracast does not work because it never worked: P
- Gapps permissions are incomplete, you can not download some apps from market
- No SIM toolkit (incompatibility with phone.apk?)
- The answer button on the headset does not work
I can confirm Miracast and gapps problems. About gapps – only in some cases it does not work, it seems it depends from your operator name that is added to your phone identification in play store, also sometimes there is even no operator name and only LENOVO. You can check how your phone is shown for gogle using your device management in play store.
Dear mastersanta, when we can expect update? Thanks in advance for hearing our voice!
Dear Santa. This year I've been a really nice boy. For this time, I wish I could get the possibility to change font size in SMS App in your rom.
Is there any way my dream could become a reality?
//Droig Mikołaju. W tym roku byłem bardzo grzecznym chłopcem. Chciałbym mieć możliwość zmiany wielkości czcionki w SMS Aplikacji w Twoim romie.
Czy moje marzenie może się spełnić?
Huh :< to make matters worse, don't know why but I can't add some widgets to my homescreen(trying Lightning Launcher and Nova launcher). Eg. DashClock doesn't work; neither does shuttle widgets ;/
I can't confirm at all. Dash Clock Widget works for me without any problems.
Mastersanta,
The speaker volume is fine. However, the lowest Headphone volume level starts way too HIGH and it's a real pain to listen to music even for a few minutes.
Can you reduce the Headphone volume?
