Exciting! Is it working ok? I tried all the DEs available on an Wileyfox Swiff earlier this year (foloowed instructions on the wiki) and they eather didn't wake from sleep, touch didn't work and or it was glitchy as hell (that looked amazing, tbh).

Front camera works with a qrcode app!
Ohhh, they're obly like 40 quid on Ebay, tempting ...
