The ROM is full of features, maybe more than any other one that I have used so far and I haven't seen any major bugs with it, although I have a little problem with it. I cannot find the option to create a APN for my mobile carrier... Don't know :confused:

If you flashed EX kernel over Blackbird...well...that wasn't an improvement and is any issues with wake up gestures should be posted in that thread. I'm not having issues with Titanium but I recommend installing apps through the Play Store and going to Titanium to restore Data Only. Very few issues restoring data separately.

I'd recommend going to ex kernel thread with logs in regards to gestures. Titanium, depends on what superuser you're running. SuperSu, Magisk, SuperUser, etc, and what version.

I've had no real trouble restoring apps with data. With how many apps I have, and how often I test roms, there is no way I'm downloading every app again each time. If you only restore data apps, and never system, you're fine. The ONLY time I ran into issues, was if the app was backed up for 5.1 or 6.0, and I've tried to restore to an 7.0+ ROM. Sometimes some apps have issues. For those yeah, download from play store and restore data. Sometimes restoring the data messes the app up, but that's far and few between.

I have only on this rom problems with ex kernel, and the problem is definitely not on the kernel side.With TB is the same, trying with latest versions supesu and magisk.
On s.i.x, nitrogen, Resurrection, pure nexus this things are fine.
I'm trying to help dev to fix broken things, nothing more.

Problem is probably because this ROM already ships with an alternate kernel? Haven't flashed this yet, but if it comes with Blackbird, I can see that being the issue. In regards to TiBu, I would have to flash the ROM to check it out. Is the issue happening before you flash ex or after? Try a clean flash, and see if either of your issues are still present. I've seen loads of funny things happen when flashing one kernel over another. Mostly, sadly, when it's EX over another modded kernel. Over stock it's fine, but not over stuff that potentially touched ramdisk

The dev for this ROM is also the dev for Blackbird kernel so Blackbird is obviously the default kernel, not an alternate one.

Does this ROM have the option of selecting a section of the screen for screenshots? From what I've experienced, there are three general ways, and usually only two come in ROMs. The first is the standard way, where the whole screen gets saved. The second is where you have to drag and select around the screen. The last is where you get box that you have to resize before pressing save. Personally I find the last best, but does anyone know which this ROM uses? Planning to flash later, but I'm curious.

We may expand on screenshot options...right now it's just standard...this was only phase 1
