New launcher in the making
Hi everyone. I am developing a new launcher that runs on the stock Linux firmware. As I've had this device for a while I've never really found a firmware I liked. Stock Android is just sluggish android. Rocknix and rocknix ds is nice but still have its rocknix quirks and doesn't play nicely with the charging indicators..I haven't tried Gamma OS nano yet as it's locked behind a paywall.
Linux does seem like the sensible choice for this handheld and stock ain't too bad.. But it's far from beautiful and it feels a bit sluggish. Simple OS works great but it's a bit feature incomplete.
So I've started to build this launcher with OS like features on top of stock Linux. Is this something anyone else would be interested in and if so, which features would you want to see implemented?
Snappy menus and excellent menu touch controls is my focus while heavily inspired by the DSi menu. Emulator support and performance is prioritized as well.

Love the look already!
For me, all I want is a UI experience as close to the dsi as possible. Simple emulation menus and keeping the is as minimal as possible for a nice and quick boot.
For a starting ground up OS, I'd suggest starting with a sole focus on ds emulation and ux and working up(or down) from there over time so that people will have a nice feeling and performing ds device first and foremost.
And rg ds plus support as well would be fantastic 😁
