Important ::

You must Have rooted N7100 (as Dn4 is only & only for N7100)

You must have Samsung 4.3 Bootloader or newer And please use latest Bootloader (ND3 or above) if you want to charge your phone while turn off

Always Use Latest Recovery (TWRP or PHILZ)

Always Check MD5 Checksum of your downloaded Rom & their Updates (use Es file explorer go to properties->show checksum)

Installations Steps:

1 - backup everything from your phone Specially EFS.

2 - Delete "Android" folder from your extSdCard (previous rom and apps store some data here, New rom will create a new "Android" folder)

3 - reboot recovery and Wipe all (Your Data , Cache and Dalvick Cache) or select "clean to install a new rom" (if using philz recovery)

4 – Format Internal SDCard (in mounts and storage) (here you also have some folders/data created by previous rom)

5 - Flash DN4 rom

6 – Flash updates 1,2,3,4 **

7 - flash agni kernel version 4.3 *

8- Reboot (New rom will take some time to reboot so don’t panic)

* Step 7 is for those who knows about or want to use latest Agni control (Default Kernel in DN4 is Agni 4.2.5 with only mdnie hijack removed.) so if you want to use DN4 default kernel then don’t do step 7 just go to step 8 and reboot…. (If flashing agni then in agni setup choose boefella sound.)

** If Only flashing updates over ROM then always wipe cache & dalvik

After Installation:

4)	Use “Search this thread” option for your problems you will find that many questions are already answered….

6) Possible ways to get low RAM usage and better battery life (thanks to [MENTION=4546136]silentvisitor[/MENTION])

Q- Battery draining very fast?

1) Let the ROM settle down for 3 or 4 charging cycles. Make your opinion on battery life only after that.

2) After charging to 100%, dial *#0228#. Press quick start. Screen will turn off and on and your battery percentage will come down. Charge to 100% again and let your phone discharge normally to less than 5% and then repeat the process above. You will have good battery life in 3 or 4 charge cycles.

3) Freeze SHealth with titanium backup

4) Use Network speed indicator module in Xposed to see if there is continuous upload or download going on by some app. (you can use GravityBox )

5) Use CPU SPY & BETTER BATTERY STATS for watching DEEP SLEEP and PARTIAL WAKELOCKS. for more details see this post thanks to [MENTION=5396390]jshare[/MENTION]
