• System is Read-Only (restricts making changes to overlays, system APKs, etc.)
• DO NOT USE any other recovery than YAAP recovery which is included.
• Use the RESPECTIVE recovery for RESPECTIVE builds. (e.g if you want to flash vanilla build, use vanilla recovery, if you want to flash gapps build, flash gapps recovery)
• You MUST format data with given YAAP recovery.
• YOU MUST CLEAN FLASH if you are coming from any other ROM or stock.
• Formatting with YAAP Recovery (yes, I mean YAAP Recovery ONLY) is MUST during clean flash.
• First boot WILL take 5-10 minutes, DO NOT PANIC! (only applicable to 20241009 build)
• Required Firmware: Android 14 U1TD34M.94-12-7 or newer. Do not flash on Android 15 firmware.
• Any slot must not be empty, meaning if you have ever used blankflash or flashed stock ROM using RSA or got a new phone, then make sure you got any ota, otherwise don’t flash!
• Do NOT try to flash gapps on vanilla build, it WILL NOT work!
• Do NOT try to flash anything other than the ROM in recovery, it WILL NOT work!
• SD card flashing only supports vFAT(FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and exFAT filesystems.
