Tip for wanam module users
If you are using any CSC features or using Penwindo
Penwindow or multiwindow manager then you
should first implement these features and only after that should install wanam's module.
Installing wanam's module it will copy your existing features to his module resources so
any thing you apply after installing wanam's module may not effective.
Good Luck !!! and Happy flashing
