※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
OK I've updated version V2, shouldn't have the SetupWizard.apk problem anymore + reduced size of the firmware package.
Please add the Russian translation
V2 still problem with setupwizard stoped,, !!?

DEAR MEXUS,
THIS LINK IN MEDIAFIRE DOESNOT WORK.
PLEASE REPAIR LINK.
TKS SO MUCH.
Which link doesn't work? Can you specify? For V1, V2 or the Lenovo Apps?
Just tested all links work fine. You have to pass the Captcha on Media Fire – select I'm not a robot and then type the numbers/text from the image and you will be able to download.
Thanks … great job ..
There is a new version, but I don't have time to test it. If someone is willing to test if it's fine (It works, but I didn't do a factory reset, because I need the phone right now and cannot test for errors) just send me a message and I'll give you a link. The version should have camera, wifi and compass improvments.
Any news on new ROM? I should get my device soon and will immediatelly try your ROM! Thank you!
Hello Mexus, thanks for the ROM.
I recently got a Vibe X2-CU, and have found that the stock ROM is full of unneeded apps and more important, it has many wakelocks that are killing the battery really fast.
It seems that the biggest problem is a bug in the Wifi chip that prevents the CPU from sleeping even when Wifi is off.
Do you think the wakelocks bugs are fixed on this version and battery life will be better?
Thanks
WiFi consumes 40% in power options. If you turn it off it's off
The thing is, that even while wifi is off, using BetterBatteryStats I can see that Wifi Running is 100% of the time…
This is why it seems to be a driver bug of some sort.
My build number is VIBEUI_V2.0_11443_5.5.1_ST_X2-CU
Can you tell how old this version is compared to yours?
Thanks
A lot older
That's good news, since I hope updating to your version will solve some wakelock issues…
Do you know when lollipop comes to the CU version?
Soon, cannot tell for sure. I don't work in Lenovo. My guess is as good as yours. Lollipop is out for the EU version. There is a custom version (user made, can be found on 4pda) for CU but it has some bugs, but looks promising. Hope the official one comes out soon.
Hi, Mexus !
Version 3 has been tested ? This version has a problem ? With version 2 end quickly my battery...Thanx for your support.
