FAQ

1) Why there is more battery drain in Final v1.0+ than v0.3F?


Answer: In v0.3f stock launcher is removed and only single Free Nova Launcher was provided which was experimental step. The launcher performance was smooth and great due to Nova's commercial skills. Its very lightweight and less battery consumer. But in Final V1.0 , completely removed NOVA and re-added Stock Launcher which takes more space in memory and also few more points of battery is consumed.

But now in 1.5 , both launchers are installed and it is suggested to select NOVA LAUNCHER when asked for default launcher. However you still have choice to select all wallpapers from stock launcher.

2) I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and getting "cannot create folder" error when I try to take backup?

Answer: Solution A) Visit this link for simple workaround for this 2.6.3.0 backup issue.
Solution B) If possible try to be on TWRP v2.5.0.0, it works flawlessly. You can install it with Mobile Uncle too. Just copy recovery.img on root of external sdcard and run "Mobile uncle tool" app and click update recovery and select this recoery.img file. No need for 2.6.3.0 when 2.5.0.0 is working flawlessly.

3) GPS is not fixing out of Bhaarat (India). Any solution?

Answer: GPS locks very fast in Bhaarat (India), tested ok. Its possible that for users out of Bhaarat, GPS may not lock. Try updating EPO Assistance as mentioned on this post. Carefully read all steps. May solve your problem like many others confirmed.
4) BootLogo Not Changing? After your rom, I flashed another rom, but the your bootlogo remained/not changed. Why it is still showing? How to restore back to Original Canvas HD bootlogo?

Answer: Generally every rom-makers should wipe previous Boot-Logo and install fresh logo for new rom, but if they dont do it, it is obvious bootlogo from previous rom will keep showing. There are many workaround for this.
---- Flash this DEFAULT LOGO patch.
---- If still previous logo is seen for 1 second while booting, then find and delete this file
/system/media/images/boot_logo


5) My GPS is not connecting in India/out of India. What to do?

Answer: GPS works perfect in Bhaarat (India) without any workaround, tested ok. But for some it may not work at first attempt. You may try updating EPO Assistance on following link. Please read instructions carefully. Confirmed working for users within and outside Bhaarat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=89

6) Titanium Backup not recognizing External SDCard. How to fix/setup Memory Swapping and Mapping?

Answer: MemorySwap Fix: If you want SDCard memory mapping to be fixed or getting problems in restoring Titanium Backup data, then flash this patch. : Download and flash this Patch
After this patch your memory will be mapped freshly, so you may need to go to reset: Settings > Storage > SDCard option for all apps to work normally.
