They said his body was dying and he couldn't live much longer but he found a new shiny body now so does that mean he is cured or will his mind cause that body to die too?

If he still has his meta-enhanced intelligence, I would expect this new body to start to deteriote; since his brain was drawing energy from the rest of his body. On the flip side, my take away from his origin story is that the onset of that deterioration isn't immediate; he's had his intelligence for about 4 years, and he's only just emerged with this plan.

How does he transfer his meta enhanced intellect anyway? as we know meta's powers come from their genes being altered by dark matter, which means it's not Devoe's consciousness but his physical mind which is enhanced, in a new body he'd lose his superhuman IQ.
hopefully they have a work around such as he designed a new chair or device that artificially recreates his meta mind powers in his new body, which would also cause physical deterioration the more he uses it.
They would need to explain the rapid deterioration however, which could be as easy as saying that Devoe's IQ coupled with the host's telepathy allows for higher use but at a greatly increased wear on the body, or that the new body wasn't altered the same as Devoe's so he simply cant contain the intellect like his old body did, but it's a means to a greater end

The only explanation I can think of is he is after Barry's body 'cause with the Flash's powers his body won't die but he seems more interested in playing head games with Barry and ruining his life at the moment which makes zero sense. Another question is where is the person whose body he took over? When he did the swap I thought his brain would have been transferred over to DaVoe's body but that doesn't appear to be the case with him lying lifeless on the floor at the end of the episode so he is either dead or he is still somewhere in the body but he isn't strong enough to kick DaVoe out of his head.

They might go the route of the original "host" still being there, and he starts causing trouble, pushing DeVoe out; forcing him to direct his attention to suppressing him. That's been kinda played out, to some degree. I think it would make sense if DeVoe worked out a way to overwrite one brain for the other; especially if he wanted a way to retain his enhanced intellect.

Is DaVoe cured. no she's still an asshole. But seriously I don't think this is a permanent cure, not a temporary one and he will soon begin loosing the use of his limbs all over again. Which might mean he might try to transfer his body into Barry's, thinking that his accelerated healing factor might fight off the disease. Maybe he's trying to destroy Barry's life to give him no option but to let DeVoe have his body.

Have they explained why Devoe is trying to destroy Barry's life? I mean, did I miss something. I'm completely caught up with the show but I keep asking myself why he hates Barry/The Flash so much.
As for the original question here, I think it makes sense that if his brain was so powerful in his original body and was pulling energy away from that body and slowly killing it...that in this new body...it should still do the same thing.

No. They haven't. That is the problem I am having with the show at the moment. There has been no explanation for why he is targeting Barry or other metahumans for that matter or for why he even became a villain in the first place since he obviously wasn't one to begin with and I am hoping we get more answers when the show returns 'cause at the moment it doesn't make any sense at all and while some people might have complained over 'The Flash' using too many speedster villains at least we got more answers with them.
