Q. What is a clean flash?

A. Clean flash is as follows....

Boot to ss

Hit wipe

Slide to factory reset

Back out

Hit install

Find zip

Slide to install

This deletes everything except data. You will have to set the phone up again. All your pics and sounds and downloads are safe and will be there when you return.

Super clean install is as follows....

Boot to ss

Hit wipe

Swipe to factory reset

Back out

Hit install

Find zip

Slide to flash

Reboot.

This will wipe everything on the phone, all pics, sounds, settings, everything will be gone, except the contents of the sdcard.

Q. What is a dirty flash?

A. Dirty flash is as follows...

Boot to ss

Hit install

Find zip file

Slide to flash

Reboot.

This deletes absolutely nothing, no wipe needed.

Q.What happens when I wipe data?

A.While in Safestrap if you select the "Wipe" button, you will then be taken to a screen with three options. Here is an attempt to somewhat clarify those options.

1. Swipe to Factory Reset - This is the most common way of wiping, and what is most commonly used for installing a new ROM. This option is considered a "Clean Flash".

2. Advanced Wipe - This option is used to specify partitions to wipe. It is generally okay to select all options here EXCEPT "Micro SDcard". This can also be used when doing a "Clean Flash".

3. Format Data - DO NOT USE the "Format Data" button. If you select it by accident you are going to be required to type the word "yes" to even proceed further. You have been hereby WARNED. If you refuse to heed this warning there is a good chance you will soft brick your phone.

Q. Can I flash to a slot?

A. Yes, you sure can. Expect bugs or issues, expect the reboot option in the power menu to NOT work.

Q. How to I go back to stock?

A. Dirty flash the rom. (see above)

Q. Somethings are acting strange, is there a easy fix?

A. Boot to SS (safestrap) hit wipe, now hit advanced and check the cache and dalvik cache box's ONLY! slide to wipe, reboot system.

Q. My signal is weak, is it the rom?

A. I highly doubt that, it's related to the modem and some are better than others depending where you are. Check out other Modems here.

Q. Where can I find the add-on'?

A. In the DK store. Hit menu/system settings/device then DK rom control.

Q. My battery life isn't very good, how can I find what's going on?

A. Download "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Then if you are still confused, take a screenshot and post it.

Q. Where do I start??

A.On first boot, status bar will be black on home screen to make transparent it must be fixed If you want transparent. (Statusbar Gradient)

Open each respective setting and apply the color.Transparent is selected by default.

Also on first boot, there is no visible clock. You must set your style and alignment. Warning, center clock does not play well with ticker notifications ( They overlap when present, WIP)

Note about 3minit quick launch, After you tick to have or untick to remove, you need to reboot for it to remove properly.

If you are changing a lot of things like systemUi or lockscreen, Your device will hot boot to apply the change. I strongly suggest to do a full reboot after you are done playing. (Hot reboot "can" causing battery performance issues)

Q. How do I make my status bar transparent?

A. Go to the Rom Control and then tap status bar mods. Go down and tap "Status Bar Gradients." Now there should be 2 color options, just tap a color, then tap the box on the bottom right because that is the transparent. Do the same for the second color.

Q. Why is the jome button is not turning on the screen?

A. There is a toggle for it in Rom control, under hardware keys.

Q. Is off topic discussion allowed here?

A. Absolutely not, take it somewhere else..... Of course it's allowed here. We all love to chat, showoff, brag, and keep others in the loop. It's a big family in here!

Q. Reboot toggle isn't working?

A. It's a WIP, fix is in the works.

Q. AOSP lockscreen isn't working?

A. It's a WIP, fix is in the works.

Q. How do I check apn settings?

A. Settings>Networks>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

From here, you can reset to default by hitting menu/reset to default
