Update & Fix section

Important instruction for ROM Tool - After clean install ROM Tool should ask supersu permission on first boot, if you don't see call then manually check magisk/supersu log

- Multi CSC. It contains many CSC inside (All included under 'OXM') and will auto installed. If you have other CSC installed (Other than Original One), you may get message to RESET after first boot. In that case, you will lose root and have to flash magisk again to retain root access.

If you don't using xposed - simply uninstall it as regular user app and it won't change anything

If you want to use xposed - Open Xposed installer from app drawer - Click on cloud symbol below - Install/Update - Select 'Install' - Grant SU access -

Reboot when script run and ask to reboot. First time it may take longer to boot.

After boot, you will have Xposed ready to use.
