kernel update

A notice for the upcoming weekly:
The kernel has been updated to a new version. This requires an updated odm image, which Sony has supplied here
Please note that the zip is not flashable, simply unpack it then flash the img file inside using "fastboot flash oem <img_file>"
If you update to the weekly of 20180128, when it's released, then you MUST flash the new odm image, otherwise you'll end up with issues like a nonfunctional camera.

I'm using this on a G8232 with Singapore firmware. The 20180204 build works but any other subsequent build does not. Has the FTF been updated or something after 20180211?

Can't seem to use VPNs? OK button for the connection request is unresponsive

EDIT: It was a different third-party app interfering

How easy to flash back to stock ROM

Hi, I'm interested in installing this ROM.
I've a little experience rooting and flashing stock ROMs via Fashtool (To get the right firmware for rooting)
I'm just wondering how easy would it be if I wanted to flash back to stock ROM??
If I backup with twrp before installing Omni, will it be as simply as just restore the ROM via twrp to get back to full stock condition?
I just wanted to know my option before going ahead to flash the ROM.

Thanks in advance!! :)
