A: If you're willing to buy me/donate the device for testing, sure. Alternatively,
if the device is similar enough to the one I own (by my determination) I might
build for it.

@vince2678 twrp 3.1.0 for FN works great! (I also installed tensei kernel on lollipop stock because I wanted to try it) You can release it I think. Just one little bittle visual problem: there is always that mouse Arrow in the centre... Thank you very much for building it :)
