C'mon ungeeked...

The DU server hosts, as far as I know, free and open source files that can be legally downloaded. It's a public, official server. No one is creating mirrors, claiming to own or to be the developer of the ROM, so I can't see which XDA Rule would we be breaking.

On top of that, you just can't stop people from posting links to your website. I have websites and don't like Facebook, but users still share "my" links there. Should Facebook stop that from happening? Can I stop them? Of course not!

They don't have to create threads here nor like XDA. Now, not allowing people linking to their website or speak their minds on a website they don't own? Either I'm missing something or many around here don't know how the internet works.
Yes, you are missing something: if DU developers get pissed off by some XDA thread or user, they could stop tuning and releasing the ROM for our device.

It's as simple as that, so if you are like us and want to use and discuss this ROM just respect what the developers want, that is what Ungeeked wrote above.

I've flashed the latest blu_spark custom on DU official and the camera (google camera that comes with gapps) doesn't work. When I dirty flash back the rom the camera starts to work again. I haven't tried it with 3rd party or OOS camera apps yet though but wanted to see if anyone had any feedback or thoughts on how to fix this.

I doubt that they are that immature. At least I can't see them stopping because a user mentioned their public website.

I respect their work, I think they have created a great ROM and understand very well that I'm not entitled to anything. But they can't really ask people not to link to their website. It just makes no sense, sorry.

Make sure you flash the "custom" version of the kernel instead of the "oss" version.

If that doesn't work, some ROMs came with the Camera2 api disabled and Google Camera needs that in order to work (I'm not sure if this is the case with DU.)

You can enable double tap to wake by using a kernel tweaking app like kernel Adiutor or EXKM, works flawless.
DU allows to configure the hardware buttons in every imaginable way. Just go to Settings/Dirty Tweaks/Navigation/Buttons and configure it, however you like it.
Probably you have a double tap action set for the recents button. Disable that and the delay should be gone.

Ya recent buttons delay is no more there I removed double tap action...and double tap to wake thanks for that one and still I have one question how to swap back and recent buttons(hardware keys) I checked your suggested path to swap but I can't find anything ..I searched whole settings and this swapping option is not in the rom

As far as I know, there is no toggle to swap buttons, but you can swap them by navigating to button settings (using previously told path) and configure go "back" for single tap on the recent buttons and vice versa. Tap on overview, select custom action and pick whatever suits your needs. DU allows to configure all three hardware buttons with any imaginable custom action. OK, it takes a couple of more taps, than a remap buttons toggle, but definitely does the trick.
I attached a Screenshot for illustration.

100% agree with u

Absolutely agree.
BTW, are sim cards set for call/sms still reset after reboot?
