Can you list out the differentiators of your fork?

I would strongly advise against releasing our master branch as it is not guaranteed to be stable. Always use the release branch as base when you're going to maintain a fork our our app. Or even better, upstream your changes by creating a pull request. Although looking at the list of changes we're not really interested in a new color scheme for our logo or hardcoding a local ip address.

Thanks for giving this a shot. I would like to support your work some how.. 

Please reach out to me..
Need some direction on how to hardcode my server in the apk for some of my users that have some issues.
Its simple to just give them a username and password vs having to go through 4 different screens just to get logged in
Thanks
