1: There's no way to get back to the Settings and Tools options after loading a mnemonic.  I learned that the hard way by lowering the touchscreen responsiveness down to 10.  At 10, my Amigo went nuts with phantom clicks.  I had to reboot to get back to the settings.  That being said...  loading a mnemonic on this thing takes less than 5 seconds, so rebooting is no biggie.  Did I mention how fast and intuitive Krux is?

2: It would be helpful to make it clear what is saved on the device and what isn't.  I know, for example, that a mnemonic isn't saved on flash on the device after a reboot or shutdown, but while testing I named my mnemonic "test" and I was rattled after restarting the device to see "Print Test QR" in Tools.  "Wait.  I thought that wasn't saved after shutdown."  Then I scanned it and realized...  "Oh, it's just an obvious coincidence."

3: It would be helpful to add a "Reset" option for some settings, such as Encryption.  Those options could be scary for some folks.  It'd be good to have a way to reset them if they get changed by somebody who is testing or...  whatever...  y'know?

1: We would have to remove or change some settings (as Testnet) to offer them after a mnemonic is loaded. But yes, just press the reset button and you'll be on "Login" menu with settings after 6 seconds.

2: You do can save encrypted mnemonics on the device as well as SD card, this is optional, and you will find mnemonics you saved even after reboot on "Load Mnemonic->From Storage", and you can access them by typing or scanning the encryption key. You don't need to encrypt/save your mnemonics to use them for sign, you can just load them from external sources and it will be vanished after reboot. Your can delete saved mnemonics on "Tools->Delete Mnemonic". This feature is meant for convenience, and doesn't replace a physical backup.

3: We definitely need a "reset", I think we will first add a "Wipe Device" feature, it will remove all custom settings and saved mnemonics at once.

What's the difference between these:
maixpy_amigo_ips
maixpy_amigo_tft

And also these:
ktool-mac
ktool-mac-10

IPS x TFT
Some Amigos ship with different displays, which use mirrored X coordinates. Most Amigos have TFT, but if you flash it and notice things are in mirrored places (ex on keypad letter "a" is on the right and letters increase towards left) then you have a IPS screen and should re-flash your amigo with IPS version.

Mac version
We have a lot of issues when flashing from Mac devices, so we offered two options for mac users, one built over OS version 10 other for version 11. Fortunately you didn't seem to have issues.
