Content

The device no longer picks up on a non-existent SIM card and, more important than that...

You can now map your built-in gamepad to the touchscreen by pressing the F-button on the bottom of your device!

How to install: Unpack the attached files using 7zip and follow the included instructions found inside README.txt.

Things to note when updating from a previous build: If you previously had Google Apps installed, please make sure you re-install them after the update to avoid crashes!

For those needing the Google Play Store: Reboot into TWRP and install the latest OpenGapps ARM64 8.1 Pico bundle! (I suggest you finish the first-time setup with WiFi disabled... things move so much faster if you do!)

For those needing root: Magisk is included out of box and only needs to be activated on first boot. A WiFi connection is required for the initial Magisk activation.

Changelog

  • The SIM-card issue has been resolved
  • A touchscreen mapping feature has been added

Hi, can we flash the twrp image from recovery for first install ?

Pedro Herrera

Working great! No problems with Gapps or the button mapper. Thanks!

Martin Gallardo

Works great as the first beta, but I have a noob question... how can I access now home screen if the F button is for button mapper? I didn't use to use Android so all key combinations and buttons are part of the learning curve... I appreciate any help.

Hello. New Patreon here looking to install this on my 552. I have a couple of questions first:

Fabrice Cohen

-Will I lose everything that is currently installed on my stock 7.1.2 Android storage? -I would really love to be able to keep my installed Redream and Yaba Sanshiro, as well as ePSX and Drastic that I paid for. Or is there a way to side load restore them using my PC after I have flashed my device with this firmware?

Fabrice Cohen

-And finally, which one of the above files should I download for a first time install? The 5 of them or only the Maskrom ones? I have downloaded all of them but i can only unpack the Magisk ones using Winrar

Fabrice Cohen

Thanks for your help in advance :)

For a first time install you need the MaskROM files. Download all parts into the same folder then unpack the lowest numbered part with 7zip.

blackseraph

For a first time install just download all the files containing MaskROM in their names. For follow-up updates you can just download the TWRP version and install them straight from your device.

There's a drivers folder included with the bundle for windows users. You most likely need to install these first.

Ah yes, sorry for deleting the question, I didn't see that you had answered. In fact, I found the folder and installed the drivers, then everything went fine, thanks!
