As this is a beta version, the package will not be as smooth as a stable build. In fact, it may carry a lot of bugs and some third-party apps might not work as well. Therefore, we do not recommend you flash it on your primary phone. An already known issue quoted by the company is the AOD of Music display malfunction. Lasty, do not forget to take a backup of your data before testing the beta version.
