• Attempt to fix android apps flickering (thanks to the FydeOS team),
• More I2C camera drivers included,
• Anticipate compatibility with ChromeOS r83 dev,

Note: For now, seeing the current issues with r81, I do not plan to release a brunch r81 (crostini does not work, bluetooth issues...). I recommend to stay on r80 for now.
Nevertheless, if you want to try the new functionalities, this release has for now good compatibility with dev channel r83 (only google assistant seems to be broken at this time but this may change subsequent r83 updates).
