TWIZtd N8 Q and A

Q & A

Even though I have set my rotation lock toggle for portrait only, the screen keeps rotating. Is that normal?

It is not normal, it is a bug that I am working on fixing. If and when I find I fix I will update. Some minor bugs are to be expected when modifying a system this much.

I dont want to use Dual Speaker Mod, how can I revert back?

This mod is no longer in the rom by default. There are flashables in the download area in case you want to download and flash and if you wish to revert there is a flashable to get stock speakers back.

Can I use WETAmod with this?

No, WETAmod has certain mods that conflict with mine. So to ensure there are no issues it is best to remove WETAmod app and all data related to it. If you proceed to use it and get a UI fc, then that is on you. If you post an issue of UI fc due to conflict with WETAmod and TWIZtd then I cannot help you as YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Can I use Substratum with this?

Yes, however when flashing for the first time, make sure to not have any Substratum overlays installed. In fact, delete and clear all app data to ensure proper working conditions. After the mod has been flashed, you can proceed to install Substratum and its wide array of overlays.

I do not see my 1600+fonts or mods to my InCallUI. Do these work?

They do. However, if we update the SamsungSans and Phone apps (as they appear on the apps menu in settings) then we lose the mods. So what needs to be done is go settings, look for the apps menu. Look for each app and when opening to see app information on the top right hand corner you will see a 3 dot menu. Press it, and press on "uninstall updates" for each one. Then you should be good to go on fonts and InCallUI custom BG. When looking for the correct phone app, open from buttom up and look for the one with the 3 dot menu as it is the only one that takes updates so far.

There are overlapping clocks on notification panel when it is expanded, how do I fix that?

Go to TWIZtd Control and go to Notification Panel mods. Look for Quicksettings Preferences and in there look at Stock Clock and Mod Clock. Make sure you have one set for on and one for off.

Every time I press on the "Reboot to Safestrap" from the power menu, I have to grant it SuperSU permission. Is there a way to avoid that?

Yes, there is. Go to the SuperSU app. Go to settings, scroll down to where it says "Trust System User" and check on it. You will no longer be asked for granting SU permission for that or any other permissions needed for System User.

When I try to change the call log bg with an inage through TWIZtd Control, I get contacts fc. Is there a way around that?

Yes, go to settings and look for the apps menu. Look for contacts app and open it to see app information. There look at App Permisions and toggle "Storage" on

Everytime I try to access the AOD settings from the settings app I get and Always On Display force close. What is up with that?

Because the ROM comes with a modded AOD, it cannot access the AOD app for all stock functions. You can use the stock app for this to set any AOD settings you want and then revert to the modded app for custom bg if so desired. To do this you got to TWIZtd Control->Framework->AOD Mods->AOD Custom BG. You will see there two preferences to download modded or stock AOD. Download the stock one, reboot to Safestrap, flash it, power up and now u should be able to access the AOD settings. To get the modded AOD, download the modded file and repeat the process.

Is this a mod pack still or a full ROM?

This is now a full rom.

What is the difference between Chimera and TWIZtd?

Theres not much. Chimera does have a heavily modified CSC, where TWIZtd has a more stockish with some features added. The TWIZtd CSC is based on SamFail 2.5 which is for V2 bootloaders and Chimera uses CSC for V3 bootloader. There are other features that separate these two, but they are not noticeable.

Do I need to install the add-on pack to get MMS, Call log, InCallUI and AOD mods going?

No, you do not need that. It is all now included in the rom from first flash.

When applying a theme and going to the lockscreen I get UI fc and had to re-install the whole rom, what gives?

Some themes include their own pinpad digits and remove the stock ones. If the pinpad mod for custom text and size of the pinpad digits and text is on, it will be pointing at a null object (i.e. nothing) making it fc. Ensure that you have this mod turned off when trying new themes to ensure the theme does not have custom digits put in the pinpad.
