Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------
Q-Should I try any other modified kernel?

Ans- This rom is Optimized to extreme level to give you best performance. This smartly tweaked rom comes with Stock kernel which have confirmed advantage of No Bugs, Reliability, Good Battery Backup and Superb Power performance. It is advised that you try this rom with included stock kernel for few days and then if you are not satisfied, you are free to flash any kernel you want. Custom kernel can be flashed but results are not always as expected. If you face any issues on other kernel, I cannot help you and you should contact kernel developer for further help.

EDIT: Just to add, heavy games like Asphalt8 and NOVA3 runs like butter.
And most of the gamers are getting more than 5 hours of game time in single charge which is unbelievable but true. I am not gamer, but other gamers have confirmed it.
---------------------------------
Q- Weak Phone network out of India?
A- The rom contains Indian Baseband.
_____All Philippines and Bangladesh users should flash this baseband for strong network.
_____All Malaysian (Stealth 4x) users should flash this baseband.
_____For some mobile companies APN Settings are required to be done manually.
---------------------------------
Q- F.M. Radio Not Working after Social Camera?
A- Backup your Apps (Use titanium Backup, Not Recovery), Wipe Everything. Flash ROM Again, Reboot, and After 1st boot Flash Social camera v1.2 and Enjoy.
---------------------------------
Q- Camera shows 6MP instead of 13MP?
A- Change camera "Preview Mode" in settings, from "Full Screen" mode to "4:3" mode. Do same with front camera also.
---------------------------------
Q-Apps lose data on reboot?
A-Make sure you have that app in Internal storage and not sd card.
---------------------------------
Q- Xposed not working?
A- Xposed works perfectly in all roms made by me. But make sure that Xposed Installer and all its modules are installed in Internal memory and not sd card .
____1) Run App Manager and Move "Xposed Installler" and "Graviti Box" or all other modules to Internal Memory.
____2) Run Xposed and in Frameworks again Run "INSTALL/UPDATE" and reboot.
____3) Now just UNCHECK Gravity Box and RE-CHECK Gravity Box.
This worked perfect on Z2 on my phone and that is my own screenshot attached below.

This method works on other roms too.
---------------------------------
Q- Feeling scrolling is slow?
A- Install Xposed Installer and xuimod, open Xposed Installer, tap on framework and Select install/update, don't reboot, Goto modules and tick xuimod then reboot.
Open xuimod and goto scrolling mod>scrolling configurations>set scroll friction to lower than 20
---------------------------------
Q-How to switch between the Sims while calling or messaging?
A- Use The top-left icon on the notification panel to switch between Sims

 ---------------------------------
Q- How to install OTA?
A- After Downloading OTA from OTA updater uncheck all options and press install, it'll reboot to recovery, there Goto Install>sdcard (external storage) >OTA=Updater>download>update(zip) and flash it then reboot
---------------------------------
Q- How to switch between Notification Panel and Quick Settings?
A- Drag the Notification Panel with two fingers for Quick Settings
---------------------------------
Q- In USB Storage mode, Internal Memory is not available on computer.
A- That it Sony Xperia's Special Security feature. Use MTP mode to manage Internal Memory with limited access.
---------------------------------
Q- My Capacitative lights (bottom icons) are not working.
A- Flash this Patch this tiny patch. I forgot to replace this file in first upload.
---------------------------------
Q-Problem with any 3rd party app?
A- Make sure it's in Internal storage and not sd card
Wipe data of the app if still happens
---------------------------------
Q-Video Recording / HD video playback isn't working?
A-Flash fix. See in addons>smartsocial camera section
---------------------------------
Q-How to use Smart Social Camera?
A- Download and flash the Zip from add-ons section and reboot, you'll find a background defocus or art filter camera in your app drawer open it and tap on the lowest bottom icon to switch between modules or use the camera widget in homescreen.






---------------------------------
Q- What to do if Files not showing in WalkMan? Photos not showing in Album (Gallery) and List of Videos not showing in movies?

A- This is media file synchronization problem which may occur on any rom. You only need to rescan all media files with this small app. Download SD-Booster app from Play Store. Set cache value to anything above 1024k (2048k recommended). Check all the options as shown in Screenshot below. Press the green button at the bottom and grant supersu permission to the app. Wait for 2 to 5 minutes (depending on number of media files in your phone. Reboot

Me too facing this issue. Also after disabling onscreen softkeys, there's a huge gap in launcher docks in homescreen. Otherwise rom is really good.
