[Rom 2.3.7] MyLeWa for Z71 and clones

Screenshots:


Features:
-tweaked some status bar icons, like battery icon
-auto brightness fixed (*), not 100%.
-added ExDialer, an MiUI style dialer. Simple, smart and fast. I like it, with multilanguage support and some themes, like in screenshoots.
-changed bootanimation.
-update and included: Market, SuperUser, RootExplorer, MIUI weather ...
-Default launcher: Zeam Launcher, it's simple, fast and gesture support.
-dalvik2cache, sd card speed fix, build.prop changed only for better battery life.
-kernel by edgar for better battery life and WiFi drivers from update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-aPT-v2 for better search and stability.

(*) I use "Custom Auto Brightness" app, older that from Market, for me it's better, maybe the author fixes bugs in future.
Read "How to use:" section on Google play for properly settings.

Download app: www64.zippyshare.com/v/76925892/file.html

Tips:
-when you first setup and entry in Playstore, touch back button, appears window with Backup and Store option, choose next and finish.
-Settings/Performance/Clear memory exceptions, enable LogGraph if you don't want to kill this app (auto brightness) when you touch memory cleanup button on drop-down status bar.
-some options on Settings don't work, it's normal, because I choose to use an alternative Launcher and I delete some apps from LeWa that it's not necessary.

PLEASE, READ THIS FIRST BEFORE FLASH THE ROM:
+Test arhive for CRC error.
+How to install:
  1. go to recovery
  2. wipe data/factory reset
  3. install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
  4. power off
  5. reboot with “Master Reset”

This is the best LeWa that you can get!
