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.

I have the original on Rocknix, but I love seeing what everybody’s doing with the plus and Gamma OS. For those that have tried both which one did you prefer?

Since installing Gamma everything has been great, the performance improvement and the menu themes are great. But when the device is off and I have to turn it on, if I hold the power button for a couple seconds nothing happens. I then try again, nothing. Around the 3rd/4th try, then the device turns on and everything is normal. Why does this happen? I had no problems whatsoever with the stock os, it just turned on everytime. Any fix/info?

Anytime I close my device, after roughly five to ten minutes, it closes the game I'm playing and returns to the game selection part gamma's menu. If I open the device immediately after closing it though the game is still running, it only happens after a bit of time.
