Latest setup and driver findings

New settings from Duo reviews and what owners are finding, newest first. Each one says which device and versions it was on.

  1. LineageOS developer expects similar Duo performance

    The Pocket Duo developer describes performance as roughly equal to the existing software and highlights open-source implementations, weekly updates and future Android versions as benefits. No benchmarks, build number or download were supplied; these are development expectations, not a verified release or update commitment.

  2. Armada shown running on a Pocket Duo

    A Pocket Duo owner reports running Armada and shares photographs showing its interface on the upper screen. The lower screen is dark in both images. No version, installation steps, game performance or dual-screen behaviour was established.

  3. LineageOS code adds gamepad focus between displays

    A shared LineageOS hardware commit adds a gamepad display-focus preference with Free, Primary and Secondary choices, plus restoration after reboot on dual-screen devices. The Duo developer links it as part of their work. This confirms code development, not a released Pocket Duo firmware image or tested game compatibility.

  4. LineageOS shown on a working dual-screen Duo

    A developer reports that LineageOS work on the regular Pocket Duo is progressing and shares a photograph with the lock screen on the upper display and an app launcher on the lower display. They say release is approaching, but give no date, build number or download. The photograph does not establish game performance, sleep behaviour or a finished release.

  5. DroidDeck game launches on the lower screen

    One Pocket Duo owner reports that a game keeps opening on the lower screen in DroidDeck and they could not find how to change the display. The game, DroidDeck build and launch settings were not supplied, and no solution was confirmed. This records a setup difficulty, not a confirmed general software defect.

  6. Iconic theme paired with a dual-screen companion

    A community member describes using the Iconic theme with a companion app for dual-screen devices as their default frontend setup. The hardware, app versions and exact companion build were not identified; this is a setup preference, not a performance or battery test.

  7. GameNative shortcuts and community configs on Pocket Classic

    A Pocket Classic owner reports using GameNative frontend shortcuts successfully and saving setup time with community configurations. They did not name the games, app version or frontend. This report leaves Duo behaviour and Dead Cells performance untested.

  8. Pretendo online play needs a real 3DS or 2DS for setup

    Pretendo documents online setup for official Azahar builds using a homebrewed 3DS/2DS, Artic Setup Tool and Nimbus. Required online LLE modules disable save states. The guide uses desktop menus; this is documented setup, not a completed Android or Duo test.
