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

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

for users within and outside Bhaarat.
