NICS™ ROM FAQ Section
Q. Not able to change lock screen?
A. Use NICS remount app to mount /system partition to RW and change lock screen using Lock screen changer.
Q. SystemUI is slow ?
A. This is issue with v8.1 systemUI. If you don't like it, we will remove this systemUI and will use v7.1
Q. Device becoming slow, what to do ?
A. let the device boot twice after installation of ROM. Let it set for 15 min. It will be smooth. It has some scripts to load on boot and each time it takes 20-35 sec after boot.
Q. I can't add widgets on home screen, what to do ?
A. This is xperia Z launcher problem. Only packaged widgets provided by me can be used.
Q. ROM can't boot.
A. This is problem with some kernels. ROM works fine with KrSH kernel. I will fix other kernels soon in next release.

Nice ROM, but I found something that's wrong
- I can not enable WIFI. Is that a ROM problem or a Kernel Problem (LUPUS Kernel v5)
- When I use the widget clocks and then binaerclock it says "there is not enough space on this start screen"
