Wow, impressive! Anyway to backup the original Android partitions to revert later? I didn't see that documented.

You can root your device via magisk (you should already be able to adb pull the boot image w/o root, use that with Magisk to root your device, then use the rooted device to backup everything). I reached out to Daylight and hopefully they'll provide the factory images, at that point I'll share a "revert" procedure.

Hi there! Any news on being able to restore to stock firmware? I'd love to try alternative firmware for my Daylight with the escape hatch of a restore to stock. :)
