Using Hacks

Hacks provide essential workarounds to help your hardware function at its best. Here are some situations where enabling hacks is necessary

  1. Graphics: If you notice slow graphics performance or random freezes, try another gpu hack
  2. Wi-Fi: If your device can’t connect to Wi-Fi, enabling a different Wi-Fi hack(s) can resolve network issues.

You can enable multiple hacks simultaneously.
