Issues on current version

• official update cannot be installed. you need to modify updater-script as follows
  
  1. remove

     assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "XX");

  2. replace

     write_raw_image(package_extract_file("YYYY"), "ZZZZ");

     with

     package_extract_file("YYYY", "/dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/ZZZZ");

  3. (it seems it needs more fixes for OTA update...)
• touch(swipe) does not work.
