Warning

⚠️❗☠️ EXPERIMENTAL PLAYGROUND
Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead radios, thermonuclear war. 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.
If you want to have a more stable FW, I advise you to look at other options. ☠️❗⚠️

LICENSE: Thanks to closed source firmwares (like IJVs) and thanks to people flaming all other developers about the "best" firmware, the modifications made by me in the codebase are now closed source.

Note

I wrote those changes in order to make a firmware suited for my personal use and fun. As it happens I also release the binaries here and some people are quite pleased with them. If you do not like them please move along and have fun..
