In Belle, java is broken which will be automatically fixed.
Romaptcher Patches will be applied automatically.

After getting the message "Please restart your device" , restart your device once and you are done.
Follow all the instructions properly for a perfect bug-free installation of Xtension



Flashing Instructions:
1. This is just a beta. (ver 1.1) so there maybe some flaws
2. Though the system folders will be auto erased, its better to delete them manually before flash by connecting in "Mass Storage" mode via USB. Delete "sys" , "system" , "resource" , "private" from E:\ and F:\
3. Use original Belle files here: Download
4. Use "core" , "rofs2" , "UDA" from original belle files (remember the second leaked one)
5. Just use the "rofs3" provided.
6. Rename the rofs3 if necessary to match your file name

**Just replace my the rofs3 of your Belle (RM-596) folder with mine and done. and for those who don't have belle files, I have given the download link above.
I have not written all changes above. Only the important modifications have been said about.
I would like to hear from you, how the cfw is performing on your device.
I am actually having less time so can work only in short spans over this CFW.
Thank You... Happy Flashing...
