Anbernic RG552 AOSP 9.0 Beta #15 (Bugfixes, better performance, 16:9 HDMI output and QoL improvements)
DESCRIPTION

This time around I bring you several bugfixes, a handful of performance improvements, proper 16:9 HDMI output without black bars, dismiss-able MicroSD card notifications and a new toggle to force portrait-only apps into landscape mode.

How to install: Download and install 7zip on your system, download all attached files (SDFlash if you have a >= 4GB MicroSD card ready, MaskROM otherwise) into the same folder, extract the file ending with .001 by right-clicking it and choosing "7-Zip -> Extract Here" and finally open README.txt for further instructions.

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 9.0 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.

Things to note when using the "Fast" sleep mode: WiFi & BT adapters can get stuck in a disabled state when put to sleep without going through their proper early-suspend routines (which is what the "Fast" sleep mode omits to enter sleep faster). If this happens to you, please reboot your device to re-initialize your WiFi & BT adapters, or even better, only use "Fast" sleep mode if you don't plan to use WiFi & BT for a while.

Changelog

  • The HDMI output resolution has been changed to 1920x1080 (no more black bars)
  • The ARC browser video inset has been adjusted (preview videos are no longer cut off)
  • A vold partition table detection bug has been fixed (more MicroSD cards & USB storage devices work now)
  • The default interactive governor settings have been adjusted (improves scrolling fluidity)
  • The minimum scaling frequency has been set to 800MHz (improves scrolling fluidity and decreases sleep battery drain a little)
  • The GPU governor settings have been adjusted (improves scrolling fluidity and should help with some more graphically demanding games)
  • The default renderer has been set to OpenGL (improves scrolling fluidity)
  • A new toggle has been added that allows forcing portrait-only apps into landscape orientation (Netflix, AliExpress, etc.)
  • The quick-tile descriptions in the SystemUI edit view have been updated to better reflect what they do
  • You can now permanently dismiss volume mount notifications for MicroSD cards (which means they will no longer spam you after every reboot)
  • A SystemUI rendering issue has been fixed (it now renders its transparent background properly)
