FAQ:

Q: I can’t find developer options, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click ‘Build number’ several times

Q: I don’t have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot

Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of CM’s Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard. You’ll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you’re running an app that uses root permissions.

Q: I have dual-SIM variant (Y560-L02/L03/L23). What do I need to do?
A: Add ‘persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds’ to /system/build.prop or alternatively ‘setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds’ in rooted adb shell/terminal session.

Q: I have Huawei Y5 Y560-U23. What do I need to do?
A: Download patch below and install it in TWRP.
