I cannot try this since i\u2019m on linux, and i\u2019m experience difficulties mounting the internal storage and the external sdcard at the same time, and this is annoying for me. However, there always a workaround for this issue by using ESExplorer file manager apps and transfer the files across network.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">WiFi and Network location menu is missing from the Location access settings menu for some reason. However, when i\u2019m logging in to my google accounts, then i enable Access Location option when maps asking to enable it, the feature seems working normally. maps can found my location abruptly even the gps icons still blinking try to find my precise location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here we go the custom rom :<\/p>\n<p>Download : <a title=\"lenovo_s920_Xperia_signed_121313_124502.zip\" href=\"http:\/\/d-h.st\/VEh\" target=\"_blank\">lenovo_s920_Xperia_signed_121313_124502.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MD5 : 658e17d739409ef44badb0be841fecac<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And here is the steps to flash this custom rom :<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Requirement and Preparation :<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Read this thoroughly :<br \/>\n<em><strong>Your warranty is now void<\/strong> !!!<\/em><br \/>\nI am not responsible if you brick your phone, get stuck in a bootloop, or if your phone grows arms and tries to kill you. Flash at your own risk!<br \/>\n<em> Please do some research if you have any concerns about risk of flashing a custom rom before continuing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you!!<\/em><br \/>\n<em> If you have any other objection, don\u2019t bother to comment, just close this page!<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">This custom rom needs a custom recovery to flashed into the device, if you haven\u2019t got it, i already build them too. get it here : <a title=\"recovery-cwm-s920\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/uwbp22z3bpiq3hr\/recovery-cwm-s920.img\" target=\"_blank\">cwm recovery Lenovo S920<\/a>.

There are two sdcard storage on this device, so you must know it\u2019s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you to put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.<\/li>\n<li>Boot into recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume + button then press power button, hold them both until you see axioo logo on screen then release it. Wait a sec or two \u2026 then you\u2019ll be in recovery mode.<\/li>\n<li>BACKUP your stock rom and data using BACKUP feature, make sure you use external storage as destination because this backup is relatively big.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Data \/ Factory reset<\/em><\/strong> and execute it.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe cache partition<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Dalvik Cache<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Go back to main menu, and choose <strong><em>Install<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It will open a list of file on your sdcard, choose the custom rom zip file that you put on step 1 and flash it.<\/li>\n<li>After the installation completed, choose <em><strong>Reboot System<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is the result after flash :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-workspace.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3587]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3618 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-workspace-169x300.png\" alt=\"s920-workspace\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-apps.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3587]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3620 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-apps-169x300.png\" alt=\"s920-apps\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-apps2.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3587]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3621 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-apps2-169x300.png\" alt=\"s920-apps2\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-about.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3587]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3622 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/s920-about-169x300.png\" alt=\"s920-about\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Some other notes from me :<\/h4>\n<h3>JB 4.2.2 Camera with photosphere<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to use the camera from stock jb 4.2.2 with photosphere feature since this device also equiped with gyroscope, here we go :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Download : <a title=\"signed_camera-4.2-update.zip\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/jq26dly3i01qkds\/signed_camera-4.2-update.zip\" target=\"_blank\">signed_camera-4.2-update.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flash it like you just did with the custom rom, go to recovery mode, select install, choose the zip file and reboot after done.
