Final notes

  • I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
  • Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!
  • YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
