Sure will try to

 

[Bidyut_Dey]

Sure will try to

You're a pro bro
Octavi Os and Ancient Os are two slick roms to try for but no one has built those for 5T. With you around we can surely expect those

Latest Descendant os has got ui revamp, will we get the new ui on upcoming builds?

New ui is reserved for Official builds as this is Unofficial we can taste very few of them. I have applied for Official maintainership. If its approved we can surely enjoy the new UI. Lets hope the best for that to happen. Amen

However the unofficial build is worth to try as its still a different UI rom like the some we have heard around.

 

[Jalef]

Hopefully i can test this new update soon

 

[Arokia]

Sure once i got approved for official maintainership
