Frequently asked questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question 1) Is this Rom Rooted? I do not see SuperSU icon.

• Answer: This ROM comes with another Super User software called "KINGROOT" and you will find KingUser icon in rom

Question 2) Icons Missing. After installing new Apps, I do not see new shortcut icons in Application Drawer. How to see them?

• Answer: This is known minor issue of Trebuchet (The included Lollipop Launcher) The simple resolution is as follows.
  
  Go to Settings >> All Apps >> Trebuchet >> Force Stop.
  
  Now go back to Launcher and you will see all missing icons appeared.

Question 3) WhatsApp and other apps are not restoring data backup from previous rom. What to do?

• This rom does not come with Swapped Memory Partitions. Hence copy WhatsApp folder from External SDCard to Phone Storage. Clear Data of Whatsapp from All Manager. Now it will recognize backup and will restore.

Question 4) Why Gmail and other Google apps are not syncing data?

• This rom lacks GPS fix at this moment hence Google fails to get location. Just go in Settings and disable Location (GPS). Now GMail and other Google apps will start syncing

Question 5) Rarely or Occasionally Phone Network drops for few seconds.

• Inherited Issue from CM 12.1. If this is just after Flashing rom then, simply Disable Location and Reboot. Otherwise just enable Airplane Mode and disable it. Network will be stable.

Question 6) GPS / NFC / FingerPrint is not working!

• Yes I know! Wait for some time for the fix.

Question 6) NFC and FingerPrint Features are not working!

• The port version of CM 12.1 I selected for Auxus Note does not have FingerPrint scanner feature. Hence it can not be added. NFC is disabled for some technical issues but I am sure you do not need both features for the sake of CyanogenMod 12.1 Porting CM for Dual Sim MediaTek devices is not easy task. It takes months of work hence I thought these are not worth wasting time which may delay project for another 2/3 months. Hope you understand. Thanks !

Question 7) After flashing your rom my IMEI numbers are lost and phone lost its network. How to restore my IMEI numbers of phone?

• Due to mismatch in Radio files mismatched between the roms of two different chipsets, you may lose IMEI on some roms after flashing. Do not panic or worry, it can be restored easily. Remember for DUAL SIM phone you need to restore both IMEI numbers, which are found on your Invoice (Bill), Product Box or below Battery)
  
  METHOD 1) Restore your own IMEI numbers with this amazing APP. Read warning carefully.
  
  WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR IMEI WITH ANYONE ELSE. Remember, using FALSE IMEI numbers is illegal in any country and it can put you in JAIL. These days they are tracing culprits for terrorism threats. So please use this app to restore your own IMEI only.
  
  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon&hl=en
  
  
  METHOD 2)
  Restoring NVRAM BACKUP taken with MTKDROID TOOLS which you can flash with SPFT Flashing tool.
  
  a) Watch this video to know how to take backup of NVRAM of a working STOCK ROM with the help of MTKDROID Tools. You must know that NVRAM backup file stores your own IMEI Number. Do Not share it with anyone else. They will restore their phone with your IMEI number and will put you in trouble.
  
  _____ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tttvKlWTwc
  .
  b) When IMEI is lost flash this only single entry of NVRAM with SPFlash tools
  
  WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR NVRAM FILE WITH ANYONE ELSE. It stores your IMEI Number.
  
  Separate XDA Link:
  

Question 8) Can I play heavy Games on this Rom? (Why some games run slow on this rom?)

• The rom in optimized for less battery drain hence CPU is generally in PowerSave mode or Balanced Mode.
  
  This setting is in Settings >>> Battery >>> Battery Mode >>> ???
  
  Gamers should change Battery Mode to PERFORMANCE mode while playing games to get full power of CPU.
  After playing games changing battery mode back to BALANCED mode or POWERSAVE mode will be best idea.

Question 9) Sometimes phone lags.

• This is a known issue in Beta 12 (first release) still WIP. The quick workaround is reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.

Question 10) Sometime rare camera do not work. Camera keeps showing front camera and no option to change back to rare.

• This is known issue and quick workaround is as follows.
  Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.
• One more workaround is restart the phone but if still does not work then reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.

Question 11) Flash icon disappeared in camera and can not use flash.

• Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.

Question 12) Sometimes Network is dropped and does not comes back.

• This is fixed in BETA 15 but if you still experience it just enable Airplace mode and again disable it. This may happen frequently in remote locations (rural areas or areas with weak network)

Question 13) Battery 1% problem . Battery was charged a lot, but after rebooting or returning from Recovery mode the battery started showing 1%.

• This is known battery synchronization bug in previous version of Recovery. If you are on Version 2 of my TWRP 2.7.1.0 you may not have this problem.
  
  But even if you are on latest recovery and you get this 1% battery issue, then do a simple solution.
  
  Workaround (a) Connect Charging cable to charge phone, Power Off and Power On Normally without removing power cable. Works!
  
  Workaround (b) If above does not work, then Start phone in recovery (twrp) mode, plug in power cable and keeping the power cable connected, restart the phone in normal mode (also called system mode, Reboot to System).
  
  The phone will again show normal charged count. Usually doing this only one time should solve problem.

More questions and answers will come in next few days, until development is over.

Good Night!

Hi CMahendra,

thanks much for your work and efforts with this ROM. I do not mind NFC and fingerprint missing but GPS fix is a vital feature. When are you planning to fix GPS as for the moment this is a showstopper for this ROM?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your reply. GPS is important for me too. I am working on it. This is Beta Version and may have some minor bugs. Things will be all perfect when I will release final version.
BTW I am using it for business use and there is no other problem for me while using it. If it lags for some time, just restart and within 30 seconds phone will behave normal Could not work on it for few days due to main job. BTW I do not believe in declaring ETA. Thanks

I flashed lollipop os bt ma cel too heated & sometimes runnings very slow plzz halp me Mahendra Chavan sir i like too much this os bt sometimes faced this problem plz help

Rear camera is not working even after trying your workarounds... Also, what's up with home key? (I am talking about the one bellow the screen, not the onscreen one) It's not working, when u touch it, it vibrates, but doesn't do anything. Another thing is that when u reboot the phone, battery shows 1%, even when it's fully charged. Other than these things, the ROM is quite nice, but wouldn't recommend using it on daily bases.. At least until these bugs are fixed.

 

[balamurali24]

Thank you for the awesome rom and for your endless efforts. Downloaded the latest Beta 14 build and will report bug if any shows up.


14/2/16. Updated to latest Beta 15 build which is working great and memory leak isn't an issue anymore.

 

[MPGANGWAR]

Thanks for reply.

Camera works fine but sometimes it changes to front camera for which workaround is given.

Home key on navigation screen works perfect and homekey on phone is not working but both do same task so you can ignore all keys on phone hardware below.

Phone battery shows 1% because you have wrong version of Recovery installed. Read Thread and FAQ carefully.

I already mentioned rom is in beta stage and still work in progress. But I am using it as daily driver. Though Memory Leak (hangs after 4 hours) and GPS are only two known bugs with this rom. So wait for some time if you can not stay with these two.

No need to recommend this rom to anyone. If any courageous person want to try, he/she will do so on their own

Thank you for the awesome rom and for your endless efforts. Downloaded the latest Beta 14 build and will report bug if any shows up.

Thanks a lot for response to this rom. I am using this rom as daily driver. Memory Leak (hangs after 4 hours) and GPS are only two known bugs with this rom and I am trying it to resolve asap. So please wait for some time. Thanks :good:

I flashed lollipop os bt ma cel too heated & sometimes runnings very slow plzz halp me Mahendra Chavan sir i like too much this os bt sometimes faced this problem plz help

Heating while flashing is common issue and you can ignore it. Running slow sometimes is called Memory Leak and it happens after 3/5 hours of use. I am working on the issue. You can restart phone to make it smooth again. Please wait until next update.

 

[Jtig]

Isn't there a way to fix the hardware home key? I mean, since we're all used to the resolution, the software keys are a bit annoying and personally i just disable them (why would u want buttons, that take extra screen space, when u have hardware buttons that do the same exact thing). Also, camera does not work even when given workarounds are used. Also, I forgot to mention, that I came from Elephone P2000 community, maybe that is causing the weird bugs?

Ok sir i am waiting

UPDATE: CM2ROM LOLLIPOP: I think the memory leak problem is almost solved. Now phone is not hanging and much more faster , responsive all the time and no reboot required. No slowdown so no reboot Still will do test for a day and will release a small patch, if successful.

EDIT: Real good results. Changes Confirmed. After 8 hrs of new changes in framework files and new init.d scripts, phone is super smooth and I have at least 25 apps in recent app. I am Not even deliberately trying to clear them .

*Using heavy apps alike FB , Messenger , WA Lollipop version, etc and no lags at all Releasing patch tonight or tomorrow morning
