2. I want to reset partitions table and go back to stock android

Refer to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60931021&postcount=4

3. After i flashed <Partition-Size>.Zip my phone Stuck at Galaxy grand Duos Logo

A. Remove the Battery

B. Put it in the phone again

C. Boot to recovery and Flash Ex2-Ex4 and then flash your ROM

4. I'm getting insufficient storage when i try to install Gapps, what should i do ?

Try to install a Gapps that doesn't use much Space in System Partition

5. Why are there different Files ?

Every file is different in how much it increase the Storage and every file's name is the Final Data Partition Size ( E.g. <Partition Size>.Zip )

6. Why don't i get the Right Storage Size [ E.g when i flash 6.375 i get 5.84 ]

> ROM and GApps take some space from data partition So it appears as 5.84

7. What is F2FS ?

> F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.

8. After i flashed Ex2-F2FS.Zip Nothing Happens, Why ?

> You Can't use any Recovery Except Phliz by [MENTION=943196]k2wl[/MENTION] because he Modified it to flash the Zip correctly

9. Why can't i use TWRP to flash this Zip ?

> Because TWRP lacks of “parted” binary required for repartitioning.
