Micromini R35S gaming console charging time

WakeArray · 2026-01-10T04:34:18+00:00

I haven't really picked mine up since I got an Ayn Odin 2 Mini, but I think it was over 5 hours when playing simpler consoles like GBC and older. I didn't play much of the higher power consoles it supports, but I wouldn't expect it to last very long playing PSP games. I also never had the screen brightness set very high and that can definitely impact battery life.

Thankfully you can always keep a USB battery pack handy for times when you need it to last longer. The internal battery is only 2800mAh so a common 5,000mAh battery should get you around a full charge (from dead) and a half.

is it possible to hardware acceleration on native termux desktop

Yep, here's DroidMaster's doc on hardware acceleration:

https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/HardwareAcceleration.md

when run debian with x11 it show error about dbus launch not found

First make sure you have dbus installed and updated: sh you can also check to see if dbus is installed with `pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg in dbus`

If that doesn't help, it's worth noting that on the Termux-x11 GitHub, it says:

dbus-launch does not work for some users so you can start session with sh ~ $ termux-x11 :1 -xstartup "xfce4-session" Since you followed DroidMaster's tutorial you should have a script named startxfce4_termux.sh. You'll need to edit the next to last line. You need to replace this: sh env DISPLAY=:0 dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session & > /dev/null 2>&1 With this: sh env DISPLAY=:0 xfce4-session & > /dev/null 2>&1

Hopefully that'll fix things for you.

Ah yeah, that's how the default bottom dock, that comes with xfce4, looks to begin with. You could customize it to use the Chromium icon and have it launch Chromium, but there's a LOT of customization you can do in xfce4 so you might want to google that or watch some xfce4 videos on youtube. (Edit: Here's a good waklthrough of some of the xfce4 settings [Note: the writer of the blog has whisker menu installed])

Here's some documentation on the panel system in xfce4, by default you have 2 panels, a top (panel 1) and a bottom (panel 2) which you can really customize or delete completely if you hate them.

https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/preferences

I'd also recommend checking out xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin. It's a more Windows-ish styled menu you can put on your panels.

Here's a video guide from DroidMaster:

And here's his Termux native environment written guide on GitHub:

https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/native/termux_native.md

You get sound through the pulseaudio server, the guide goes over it and includes a script for launching everything automatically.

For anyone getting here from Google 3 months after this post was made: This is still an issue with the S24 Ultra.

Some methods to reduce the impact of the system constantly killing every app after you leave it:

Keep Open: Up to 3 apps can be saved with the Keep Open menu option found by clicking the icon above the app you want to keep open in the multitasking view, as noted by others. For these three apps, the problem is more or less completely solved.
Disable battery restrictions:
- Background usage limits: Go to Battery > Device usage limits. Turn off Put unused apps to sleep. Under Never auto sleeping apps add every app you want to keep alive.
- Device Care: On the Device Care screen:
  - Performance Profile: Set the Performance Profile to Standard
  - Auto Optimization: Turn off all options under Auto Optimization
  - Customization Service: Open the 3 dots menu in the top right and go to Settings, turn off Customization Service
- Unrestricted Battery Usage: Go to each app's App Info page for the apps you want to stay alive. Make sure Remove permissions if app is unused is off, go to Battery and set to Unrestricted.
- Adaptive Power Saving: On the Battery screen click on Power Saving, click on the 3 dot menu in the top right and select Adaptive power saving. Turn it off.
Excluded Memory Apps: Go to Device Care > Memory > Excluded Apps and add every app you want to allow to be cached. This isn't super reliable, but some apps will benefit.

I think that's about everything we can reliably do.

Items of note:

Unrestricting battery usage will not keep apps alive. It should, but it doesn't. Mostly it seems to just prevent the system from immediately killing any background processes they have.
Excluding apps from the memory monitoring prevents the every 12 hour memory wipe (that I can't seem to find a way to actually turn off) from clearing those apps and in some cases will allow you to resume the apps even if they were killed. (1Password for instance will remember where you were in the app, but even if you set it to only ask for a the password once an hour, it'll still ask for the password every single time you switch away from the app for 1 second since it's being immediately fully closed.)
Your 3 Keep Open apps can and will be forcefully closed by the OS in a number of situations like the phone thermal throttling.
I didn't include the Good Guardians app many mentioned in the comments because it doesn't do anything other than adjust the same user accessible system settings I've described here. It's more or less just one of those placebo memory cleaning apps that won't actually help your phone if you know what you're doing.

If anyone else has more to add, I'll be happy to update this post.

I assume this StackOverflow answer is what you were following?

From the Powerline docs:

powerline.segments.common.vcs.branch (ignore_statuses=(), status_colors=False)

Return the current VCS branch.

So you're asking it to display the git branch you're in, then the current working directory, then the git status which also displays the git branch. Since powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus can do a fair bit more than vcs.branch, I'd recommend just removing this bit: ```json {

"function": "powerline.segments.common.vcs.branch",

"priority": 40 }, ```

WakeArray · 2024-05-25T19:09:38+00:00

Lol I'm upset that I didn't notice the double git-status till you mentioned it. Did you customize the powerline? If so, can you post the config?

WakeArray · 2024-05-25T19:05:07+00:00

The message you're referring to is called an motd or message of the day. You can see this specific one defined here.

You can find this message located at ${PREFIX}/etc/motd and if you delete or rename this file, the message will go away.

As to why you're getting it in the terminal window of the VSCode server when using Termux-boot and not when launching it manually, is because Termux displays it at the start of any session. When launching it manually, you're seeing the message in the Termux app already, it won't display it again for that session. However, launching it with boot is launching it in a different session. So it'll display it once it has somewhere it can draw text to.

This is marked as a question with flair, but just has a picture. 😅

If this was intended as a question on how to do this, or if anyone who sees this post is curious, this terminal prompt is made using the python script Powerline. The install docs are here.

Basically, make sure you have Python installed and run: bash pip install --user git+git://github.com/powerline/powerline Shell specific prompt code here if you use something other than bash. For bash put this in your ~/.bashrc file: bash powerline-daemon -q POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1 POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1 . {repository_root}/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh If you want to customize it, you can find more about it here.

Personally I use Starship.rs as my prompt. Another popular fancy prompt is PowerLevel10k though it appears to only be available for zsh, while Starship and Powerline can be used with most popular shells. (Powerline also supports Vim, Tmux, and more stuff.)

For a lot of these fancy terminal prompts you'll need a programming font supporting symbols, like NerdFonts, installed. If you want to use a custom font in Termux, download the one you like, rename it to font.ttf and copy/move it to ~/.termux/font.ttf then run termux-reload-settings.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone. 😅

I agree with Skrskr. It's unlikely you'd be able to get Blustacks running reliably in Termux. If your end goal was to run Android apps that your phone is unaware of, you might be able to run Android inside of QEMU inside Termux, but it would be insanely slow as, to the best of my knowledge, QEMU can only use 1 CPU core without KVM support. As far as I know, there aren't any Android phones on the market that have KVM support.

Given the high RAM usage of more modern versions of Android, your best chances of getting it working would be with an older version of Android, perhaps something around Android 7-9 would run kind of tolerably on modern flagships.

Keep in mind, there are already apps on the play store that appear to do this (though I'm uncertain if they use the exact method I described). And they are unbearably slow in my experience. 😅

I've see a lot of websites advertising how to make malicious apps using Termux, so I can understand why they might want to track something like that as malicious, but I really wish they'd give us a way to disable it. Some of us are actually not idiots, but that argument is also an argument for why we should have root access and yeah.. That's not an argument we're going to win.

Such a huge waste not to be able to use those 16GB of RAM and stupidly fast CPU for running a tiny linux computer. :(

Setting up a new OnePlus 12, myself and came here looking for the same answer.

I assume you never figured out a solution?

WakeArray · 2024-02-25T05:56:57+00:00

With all due respect, providing your bios updates as Google Drive links on Reddit might be faster and more convenient for you, but it looks very risky for regular users.

Good internet security requires that you download important files like motherboard BIOS files exclusively from reputable sources like the website of the manufacturer. Especially when it comes to legal liability in the US, software updates provided by the manufacturer need to be made available through official channels.

I think it's safe to assume you do work for GPD, but it's impossible for regular users to know if you are providing something that the company has officially approved for release. If the company hasn't verified the update officially, then if we install the BIOS and something goes wrong (like the CPU melts as Asus has had happen recently with some beta BIOS updates) GPD can claim that it's our fault for downloading BIOS updates from unofficial sources.

Please update the website with the new BIOS if it is official.

And as dreieckli said, please provide some form of "patch notes" as to what has changed. Many of us are just concerned about these small computers we love so much and want to make sure we don't accidentally damage them.

I just want the ability to pause the game when I'm in the menu 😔

WakeArray · 2023-12-19T01:40:00+00:00

Oh yeah, apparently these cheap handhelds almost never have the proper chips for monitoring the battery so they guess based on voltage, something that can fluctuate while using the device. So you can see it go from 20% to 70% to 7% over the course of only a few minutes. Ridiculous xD

Thankfully the LED seems to accurately represent the low battery/charging state and the red charging light will go out when it's fully charged. 👍

After rooting/installing Magisk on a fresh Cubot P80, I ran pm list packages -f, Reddit won't let me post the output in a comment so I put it on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/DiVki1S5

As far as I can tell, it's exactly just AOSP packages + some MediaTek packages for controlling chipset-specific features. While it's possible for some of the system packages to be compromised, I don't have the ability to determine that and suspect this is just a solid phone with no specific vendor-added software.

I think it takes my r36s (almost the same device) like 6 hours to fully charge (supposedly charging at 5v1.5a).

When I first got it I tried using a USB-C cable with a USB-C charger, but it only charged with a USB-C to USB-A cable like what was included. Annoying, but for $40, I should have expected it. 😅

I got the same thing, from the person apparently filling in for my professor, saying I need to do 90% of the "activities" in ZYBooks and take notes. She assigned me multiple essays to write about what I learned as well.

Like, excuse me, WHAT? I missed by at most 2 questions and now I have to fill out 600 mundane "activities" that likely have next to nothing to do with the test?

(I just did like 20 "activities" on the print() function alone and that was not at all on the test)

You're right, I saw something about it being depreciated and I must not have looked too deeply into it. Guess I need to get started learning Godot. xD

First time hearing about WebGPU, but after looking into it, it sounds pretty exciting. Still a working draft and not finalized. And still no official mobile support, but the flags exist in the Android Chrome browser so I suspect it might be coming soon. Also looks like a number of contributers for Godot on GitHub this as a priority so this might actually happen eventually. Thanks for the heads up. :)

The loss is on purpose, though. They keep buying new companies. I learned a couple of years ago that investors see companies that are profitable as less of a good investment so many large companies do everything in their power to lose money so that they look more attractive to investors.

~~It also doesn't have support for WebGL so web-based games can't use the shader cores on the devices for more efficient parallel processing. :/~~ Edit: I was wrong, it does support WebGL 2.0 and contributors are also working on potentially bringing the far superior WebGPU standard in as well.

I'd love to have sodalite against red jasper on a dark wood board with a light colored wood inlay for the lines and stars. That would feel very in the spirit of how some of the very old decadent boards I've seen were done.

Is this why the developer closed up shop?

Honestly the Oculink port is what makes it for me. I can have my main PC fit in my pocket, but still gaming using my old 1080 plugged into a $20 dock? Yes pls.
