the beauty of Mobile shell is you can switch back and forth easily.
when on the stock today screen you can press the "spb home" and it reverts to mobile shell and on mobile shell you can set a shortcut to press and it reverts to stock today screen. thats why I recomended the mobile shell first vs a custom rom
