I have noticed when sideloading certain apps with overlays, said overlays refuse to load even after allowing it when prompted, any idea of a work around or fix to get these overlays working?

Thanks worked perfectly. The only change I saw in the new update was that the IP is now listed under the Developer tab underneath the developer mode setting. You will have to put the full IP and port that it shows.
