• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

Flashed it and it feels really nice.
Didn't really like the fact that there is only Active display as a lock screen notifier. Than again, I don't really like waking up the lock screen with automatic triggers.

Waiting to see what's coming next, will report battery and flow.
