Troubleshooting/TIPS

Q: My ROM won`t boot!! What do I do?
A: Did you come from CM9, CM10 or AOKP? If so, flash a compatible kernel! Problem solved 

Q: I don`t seem to have WiFi after flashing. What gives?
A: Try flashing your kernel again.

Are there any compatible themes?
See post 2.

Q: What exactly is V6SuperCharger?
A: OFFICIAL LINK gives great detail. I suggest looking it over if you`re confused.

Q: What is Script Manager for?
A: V6 has an option to run a "cleaner" that keeps the system running clean and efficient by deleting fragmented files that build up over time. This can be done VERY simply with Script Manager. Download the sclean.zip (attached in post 2) for the file and HOWTO.


Q: I don`t like scrolling wallpaper, or I want the default layout with scrolling wallpaper. Is that possible?
A: See post 2 attachments. Download the launcher style you want. Rename the file to SecLauncher2 and move it to /system/app using a RootExplorer type app. Long press it and remove the check box for Group Write. Click OK. Reboot phone. Tada!

Q: How do I tweak the CPU Editor Script to my liking?
A: See HERE It`s extremely simple.

Q: Why are my widgets all cropped up on first boot?
A: Due to the "increased" home screen size, the widget is defined to fit in the space incorrectly. Simple delete the widget and re-add it and it`s fixed.
