• 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

· Based on Omni with complete removal of some features that aren't needed
- Peek
· Mobile Network Mode power-saver
· MerkBox
. Full Dark UI
. Quick Swipe Credits Thiago Vinicius.
. Double Tap to sleep -User Configurable -- Credits Rascarlo for the concept.
. Snappier Touch response.
. Third Party apps now can have more permissions. for example Facebook (some like it some dont) This makes app processes More fast
and dalvik response may not take time for the response.
· Reworked the quick settings animations , icons , and pull-down actions
· Quick Settings improvements
· Many various tweaks under the hood
· Many more...

when I scroll down or press the space bar, the screen below does not work. Type an invisible nav bar.
I tried to disable all option (ring etc) but are the same.
