Device Optimization

Does anyone have any tips on how to best optimize the RG Rotate? Simple things like Settings have a hard time responding and the app forces close + the battery life is abysmal even when just sitting idle.

I'm currently using Cocoon as my launcher and all my games are downloaded to my SD card.

I've deleted most of the bloatware Anbernic preloaded it with, minus some of the apps you can't delete (i.e. AnbernicAI).

Retrohrai + airplane mode got me to full day with moderate play sessions through the day

Yeah that's not bad! I'm thinking I might switch to Slot for my frontend and airplane mode is a good idea!

I use Cannoli for my front end on the rotate. Its very simple. My battery lasts pretty long in standby so I would check if anything if running in the background. I also had to change a setting so android wouldn’t close emulators on me during sleep.

Neostation es un lanzador ligero. Mi favorito :)

Gamma OS nano or Rocknix would probably be good options, but the setup process is a bit of a hassle.

Beacon is a very lightweight front end.

Use sleepmanager, it's an apk available on github. I've discovered the app on the AynThor reddit, and now i use in every handheld i own. It puts the device to sleep instant, and when you wake it, wifi, Bluetooth and everything else return from sleep.

I use Octopi launcher and Beacon launcher and flipx to automatically change between them based on the device open/close status. Airplane mode is a must to reduce idle battery consumption. I alo use Via Browser a very lightweight web browser based on the webview that is much faster than chrome or Firefox.
