- install zip from sdcard -> select the ROM downloaded
- Wait for it to install, it will reboot automatically

Issues Faced
- Root is not available, opening super user will give an error to update su binary
- To Root, flash the file 4.4Root @ http://www.needrom.com/download/root-for-lenovo-s920/
- This would install KingUser. Do not open the KingUser app (as i lost root and had to flash the zip again)
- Apps would automatically request for the su access
- GPS does not seem to work on the ROM Nexus 5 v1.0
- Do not flash the fix sensor compass zip file for Nexus 5 v1,0 as it results in boot loop
- The external sd card becomes the internal card and the internal 5gb is no longer available
Enjoy your new Lenovo s920.
