* Your System is now successfully Installed!

* After your initial setup you need to tweak a few things:

= RUN SuperSU from App Drawer > SuperSU. (See SuperSU notes below)

= Install and RUN Busybox by Stephen (Stericson) from the Play Store.

= Enjoy!

* ROOT/SUPERUSER NOTES:

= A basic Superuser is pre-installed with this Rom. It does Not give you control. You will not be able to use the traditional SuperSU from the Play Store (updating the SuperSU binaries will FAIL). That's why I included the new 'SuperSU-v2.68'. It has updated binaries and works great with our phones with OFFICIAL CM13 ROM. SuperSU Pro Key can be installed from the Play Store. Busybox must be also downloaded from the Play Store and Installed.

= When flashing SUPERSU you will get a bootloop unless you flash 'MAKEPERMISSIVE'. MakePermissive is needed to change the SELinux Kernel from Enforcing to Permissive.. It does need to be flashed BEFORE you flash the SuperSU. SELinux is a Linux kernel security module that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies.

* NOTES:

= Restore during setup does not restore properly from any previous CM12.1/CM13 build, what I mean is that I first selected my most recent setup restore and it went to 'Checking..' then looped right back to 'Choose Restore Point'.. so I chose "Don't Restore".. then it still restored all my Apps.. so thats a bit strange.

* IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOBILE DATA, PHONE CALLS, OR TEXT MESSAGES ALWAYS CHECK YOUR APN SETTINGS! *
