FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question 1) Is this Rom Rooted? I do not see SuperSU icon.

Answer: This ROM comes with another Super User software called "KINGROOT" and you will find KingUser icon in rom :)

Question 2) Icons Missing. After installing new Apps, I do not see new shortcut icons in Application Drawer. How to see them?

Answer: This is known minor issue of Trebuchet (The included Lollipop Launcher) The simple resolution is as follows.

Go to Settings >> All Apps >> Trebuchet >> Force Stop.

Now go back to Launcher and you will see all missing icons appeared.

Question 3) WhatsApp and other apps are not restoring data backup from previous rom. What to do?

This rom does not come with Swapped Memory Partitions. Hence copy WhatsApp folder from External SDCard to Phone Storage. Clear Data of Whatsapp from All Manager. Now it will recognize backup and will restore.

Question 4) Why Gmail and other Google apps are not syncing data?

This rom lacks GPS fix at this moment hence Google fails to get location. Just go in Settings and disable Location (GPS). Now GMail and other Google apps will start syncing

Question 5) Rarely or Occasionally Phone Network drops for few seconds.

Inherited Issue from CM 12.1. If this is just after Flashing rom then, simply Disable Location and Reboot. Otherwise just enable Airplane Mode and disable it. Network will be stable.

Question 6) GPS / NFC / FingerPrint is not working!

Yes I know! Wait for some time for the fix.

Question 6) NFC and FingerPrint Features are not working!

The port version of CM 12.1 I selected for Auxus Note does not have FingerPrint scanner feature. Hence it can not be added. NFC is disabled for some technical issues but I am sure you do not need both features for the sake of CyanogenMod 12.1 :D Porting CM for Dual Sim MediaTek devices is not easy task. It takes months of work hence I thought these are not worth wasting time which may delay project for another 2/3 months. Hope you understand. Thanks !

Question 7) After flashing your rom my IMEI numbers are lost and phone lost its network. How to restore my IMEI numbers of phone?

Due to mismatch in Radio files mismatched between the roms of two different chipsets, you may lose IMEI on some roms after flashing. Do not panic or worry, it can be restored easily. Remember for DUAL SIM phone you need to restore both IMEI numbers, which are found on your Invoice (Bill), Product Box or below Battery)

METHOD 1) Restore your own IMEI numbers with this amazing APP. Read warning carefully.

WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR IMEI WITH ANYONE ELSE. Remember, using FALSE IMEI numbers is illegal in any country and it can put you in JAIL. These days they are tracing culprits for terrorism threats. So please use this app to restore your own IMEI only.

METHOD 2)

Restoring NVRAM BACKUP taken with MTKDROID TOOLS which you can flash with SPFT Flashing tool.

a) Watch this video to know how to take backup of NVRAM of a working STOCK ROM with the help of MTKDROID Tools. You must know that NVRAM backup file stores your own IMEI Number. Do Not share it with anyone else. They will restore their phone with your IMEI number and will put you in trouble.

Question 8) Can I play heavy Games on this Rom? (Why some games run slow on this rom?)

The rom in optimized for less battery drain hence CPU is generally in PowerSave mode or Balanced Mode.

This setting is in Settings >>> Battery >>> Battery Mode >>> ???

Gamers should change Battery Mode to PERFORMANCE mode while playing games to get full power of CPU.

After playing games changing battery mode back to BALANCED mode or POWERSAVE mode will be best idea.

Question 9) Sometimes phone lags.

This is a known issue in Beta 12 (first release) still WIP. The quick workaround is reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.

Question 10) Sometime rare camera do not work. Camera keeps showing front camera and no option to change back to rare.

This is known issue and quick workaround is as follows.

Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.

One more workaround is restart the phone but if still does not work then reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.

Question 11) Flash icon disappeared in camera and can not use flash.

Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.

Question 12) Sometimes Network is dropped and does not comes back.

This is fixed in BETA 15 but if you still experience it just enable Airplace mode and again disable it. This may happen frequently in remote locations (rural areas or areas with weak network)

Question 13) Battery 1% problem . Battery was charged a lot, but after rebooting or returning from Recovery mode the battery started showing 1%.

This is known battery synchronization bug in previous version of Recovery. If you are on Version 2 of my TWRP 2.7.1.0 you may not have this problem.

But even if you are on latest recovery and you get this 1% battery issue, then do a simple solution.

Workaround (a) Connect Charging cable to charge phone, Power Off and Power On Normally without removing power cable. Works!

Workaround (b) If above does not work, then Start phone in recovery (twrp) mode, plug in power cable and keeping the power cable connected, restart the phone in normal mode (also called system mode, Reboot to System).

The phone will again show normal charged count. Usually doing this only one time should solve problem.
