Took my MaxiSYS home yesterday, and performed all the updates late last night. I haven't seen any issues or messages for issues popping up. So far so good. Root explorer is gone from the home screen, but you can still change the icons back by using the ES file explorer. Obviously there is no upgrade to the Android OS, and probably never will be. Heres hoping that the "improvements" don't cause battery life to suffer. Overall, nothing appears to have changed too much. I guess we'll all find out in the coming week or so.

 Absolutely. We're all here to help each other when we can.

I'm sure you still can.  Thankfully I've never had to do any version rollbacks. I guess I'm one of the lucky few who just haven't had that many issues with my MaxiSYS. But, if any issues do pop up, we will surely give each other the heads up.
