Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a mod or a patch?
This creature can't be called a mod for the simple reason that it doesn't change the system externally. Moving it to other theme isn't necessary.

• What is the main purpose of that?
It's main purpose is to simplify the setup process for the necessary configuration files and to install some useful system applications after updating the ROM. The author was too lazy to spend a lot of time on the initial configuration of the system with multiple reboot to achieve the desired effect. Therefore this patch was created.

• What's the difference from other similar mods/patches?
This patch is not intended to change interface, or prepare your system for global change, it's for simplifying installation process for ROMs. Author added apps that he's using in it.

• What does the name PixelDS4 stands for?
Pixel UI? Definitely not. Pixel UI is not recreated. Here's only 3 Google applications (read OP). Patch takes the name from the same author interface in Nova Launcher. Named as Pixel DualShock 4.

• Do i need to flash this patch every update?
Yes, you'll need to flash it every update.

• Will i have rounded icons after installing this patch?
No, you won't have them. But since it has Nova Launcher you can install icon pack that you want.


If you have trouble:

1) The correct installation of the patch can be considered its immediate installation after the flashing ROM (after a full wipe)

2) If problems are detected after the "dirty" firmware, you should follow the simple recommendations given below:
• Uninstall the Google Keyboard application (GBoard), if one was installed earlier
• Clear data for the Play Market application and roll it back to the original version
• Uninstall Titanium Backup application with tails
• in TWRP wipe Dalvik and Cache
• After that install the patch again

3) If the applications for making calls and SMS do not work correctly - it is necessary to allow Dialer, Contacts and Messanger to control each other in the settings, as well, to set their applications by default

4) You can remove the patch if you flash ROM over the existing system.
