- Carriers check to make sure your CSCs, ringtones, bookmarks, APKs, etc all match factory stock - otherwise they flag you. Synergy is the only ROM that bypasses this
- ROM has been run through Team Synergy's exclusive memory optimization toolkit which decreases RAM load, improves ROM speed (Synergy is faster than stock), and imprints our own signature on each file
- Ongoing wifi notification gone ( The PROPER way, by killing the actual service. Not by just deleting the icons, which drains battery since the service keeps trying to load nonstop)

- Synergized boot animation, made by our boy wrx (A little choppy on first boot only while the ROM unpacks itself. Nothing I can do about that)

Backup and Other Important Tips
Always backup your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below for some tips on how to backup data:
If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.) installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up.
2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?
3. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on MyTrickSource are for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the carrier name or device model.
