YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you!!<\/em><br \/>\n<em> If you have any other objection, don\u2019t bother to comment, just close this page!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>This custom rom need a custom recovery to flashed into the device, if you haven\u2019t got it, get it here : <a title=\"twrp and cwm recovery PICOpad GDK-GDS\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/?p=3091\" target=\"_blank\">cwm and twrp recovery for PICOpad GDS<\/a>.

There are two sdcard storage on this device, so you must know it\u2019s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you to put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.<\/li>\n<li>Boot into recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume + button then press power button, hold them both until you see axioo logo on screen then release it. Wait a sec or two \u2026 then you\u2019ll be in recovery mode.<\/li>\n<li>BACKUP your stock rom and data using BACKUP feature, make sure you use external storage as destination because this backup is relatively big.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Data \/ Factory reset<\/em><\/strong> and execute it.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe cache partition<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Dalvik Cache<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Go back to main menu, and choose <strong><em>Install<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It will open a list of file on your sdcard, choose the custom rom zip file that you put on step 1 and flash it.<\/li>\n<li>After the installation completed, choose <em><strong>Reboot System<\/strong><br

:<\/h4>\n<h3>Photosphere<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I believe many of you already knows this photosphere feature which introduced by google since nov 2012 with their API-17 4.2 series, but for you who don&#8217;t know what the hell photosphere is, picture says a thousand words, see this <a title=\"Photosphere sample\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/?p=2907\" target=\"_blank\">sample photophere<\/a>.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not including this photosphere camera apps in the custom rom for several reason, first, because the stock camera apps is already pretty good and had a nice and many features such as FX filter and etc. Secondly, i don&#8217;t like double camera and gallery apps on the custom rom since it will confuse many users when opening pictures or videos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photosphere-gds.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3464]\"><img decoding=\"async\"
