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

Are you going to add Spanish language? Spanish its the second most spoken language in the world….
Great job Mastersanta ……….. hope to install the next update to the Spanish translation.
Greetings.
Over all a lot, thank you very much Mastersanta by translation in Spanish.
After two weeks of use (didn't modify any system components, just installed a couple of games from playstore), I've been experiencing these issues:
- At each reboot, after entering my PIN code, I have to wait 30 seconds or so to enter my lock pattern even though I hadn't entered wrongly the pattern five times.
- Sometimes, when I start the phone, it FREEZES either on the first Lenovo logo or the second one. I have to remove battery and try again.
@slime:
just add a new line with the code given by fregrant
Hello, it's a nice work Santa
I use this rom since 2 weeks and I have only one problem. Sometimes after unlocking the screen the system reboots suddenly.
Missing languages. Only Russian and east.
three very very very small things (really nothing important, just small details)
notebook app is only in english
when you send an sms, during the first minute it appears "unknown artist" instead of the time you sent the sms, but just after the second minute everything is normal!
the size of sms font can't be changed
i thin this is the perfect rom for the a820, thank you for the amazing work!
Ah, the headphone goes mute now if you press the button, but doesn't close the call!
Thank you very much for the Spanish
Thank you for making, I like
You made it Mastersanta! Thanks for hearing our voice ^_^
