* You can flash this rom with any RUI 2.0 fw based recovery.

* F2FS file system not forced to all users. So if users wants, they can move to F2FS. IT'S NOT COMPULSORY! You can stay with existing ext4 file system too.

* You need to use F2FS supported recovery for moving to F2FS file system(Read #f2fs note saved in main group for more details)

* If you want to know about F2FS file system, just Google it.

* CLEAN FLASH WITH FORMAT DATA MANDATORY if you're coming from previous android versions!

* Always clean flash recommended. Dirty flash at your own risk!

* Always remove all lockscreen passwords before clean/dirty flash for safety(to avoid format data)

Known Issues:

* DT2W on AOD won't work.

* Need minimum 3 days (or 3 full charging cycles) for things to settle down(optimizations). So be patience.

* After turning on internet/data wait 1-2 minutes for arrival of all notifications.

* Restart your device once for every 2-3 days of usage to avoid poor ram managements & lags(if possible do wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery)

* Don't report bugs without proper logs. Otherwise it will be ignored.
