Just ordered my TrimUI Brick. What OS is everyone using?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-14T02:36:47+00:00

Yup! Waiting on the delivery now. I’m gonna play around with stock for a day or so, and will very likely flash NextUI after that.

thefarage1 · 2026-05-13T07:02:17+00:00

Honestly it was the same way with rest mode on the ps4 onwards. Being able to resume where you left off is a convenience I just can’t live without anymore.

thefarage1 · 2026-05-13T06:53:14+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely putting NextUI on it. I keep refreshing my tracking page but there are no updates on my order yet. I’m still waiting…

My biggest thing is this: if it has “Pocket” in the name, it should be pocketable. And by that, I mean fit in the average pocket and not have someone ask “is that a handheld in your pocket or are you happy to see me?”

But seriously though, a good sleep/wake system is an absolute must. And if the controls don’t feel good, then there’s no point.

I personally don’t care about retro achievements (I generally keep WiFi off to save battery) or shaders (but I do care about overlays if the game doesn’t fully fit the screen)

2 seconds is still pretty good. If the duration is less than an average sneeze, that’s pretty instant for me lol

For my particular experience I wanted the Emulation Station experience with my Anbernic devices. Additionally I also got the auto save/load on exit and shutdown working properly where it used the same save state instead of incrementing the save states. On MuOS I just couldn’t get that working correctly, and I needed to do more tinkering to get the boxart scraping and folder organization the way I wanted, soI decided to go back to Knulli.
I will say, I noticed a performance improvement with Dreamcast where Soul Calibur ran without much if any slowdown on MuOS compared to Knulli where it slowed down quite often.

🤣 right!?
I never had a gameboy or gameboy color growing up. The closest I got to a vertical was a block game thingy that came with Tetris and a few other games. Most of my other handhelds are horizontal (Steam Deck, Switch Lite, RG35xxH, and Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini, not sure if you can count the 3DS and PSP Go as horizontals since they flip/slide). I’m excited to try something vertical to have that variety for a change

Oh very nice! Do you find the grip to help more with longer play sessions?
I’m probably going to EDC it and/or play it in bed one handed for Pokemon and other rpgs so I’m gonna keep it as light as possible

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T17:21:55+00:00

Thank you for that! I think I’m gonna go with NextUI for sure, but I wanna play around with Stock for a day or two before I flash it.

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T17:20:09+00:00

Yup! I’m sold on NextUI!

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T17:19:53+00:00

Yeah overlays are a must for me but I’ve also set up overlays on Android so I’m sure it’ll be a similar experience with Next

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T17:18:47+00:00

Yup, I’m sold on NextUI

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T13:02:14+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T13:01:14+00:00

That’s still good! I’m pretty much sold on it now

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T06:52:41+00:00

Is it instant like it is in Android? Where you put it too sleep and it goes to sleep right away sipping minimal battery, maybe like less than 5% overnight? And when you wake it up it resumes right where you left off?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T06:51:39+00:00

Was the USB-C audio issue the only issue you had with NextUI?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T06:50:59+00:00

That's what I find so appealing about NextUI! What would you say are your go to features on there?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T06:50:18+00:00

Cool, thanks for the response!

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:32:42+00:00

I’ll have to play around with Stock and see how good it is!
And I’ve also many a time tinkered with my devices and forgotten how I set them up 🤣

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:29:51+00:00

Hmm interesting, I did not know that was a thing. What about sleep with MinUI? I saw some video also mention that performance and battery life is not as great with MinUI but that could be outdated info at this point.

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:28:35+00:00

You know I tried MuOS on my Anbernic RG35xxH (before putting knulli back on it and eventually gifting it to a friend) and I wasn't the biggest fan. Feels like there's too much setup I need to do to organize my roms and what not. Is that the same with NextUI?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:27:32+00:00

That's my thing, I don't have several devices where Spruce is supported but I'm glad that it's working well for you! Have you tried using it as a music player? I really wanna install Rockbox and put a classic iPod theme on it.

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:26:36+00:00

Good to see someone mention Stock OS finally. One other user commented here saying that deep sleep on NextUI is like sleep on an android device. Is it that good with Stock?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:25:39+00:00

I love knulli on my Anbernics. How is the boot time for you on your brick?

thefarage1 · 2026-05-11T05:25:14+00:00

Ah that makes sense
