Rolling Tester's Release v0.0.1

First Testing Release - All current pre-compiled signed releases are currently meant for testing. Builds can change at any moment and backups are currently not fully supported, the backups code is under dev testing and not available for public testing. I apologize for this inconvienence but to advance the project further I need this, definitely understood as- much too early release so that I can receive bug reports and issues. To further explain,I develop everything through my pc ( not capable of running emulators) and test it on 1 device available. Without a testing release, the project will theorhetically never be able leave its alpha phase. Thanks for taking the time to read this far.

the below changes when compared to the alpha builds. This changelog is created from my working notes summed up.
