Kids Mode v1.3.0

This release makes it possible to switch safely between the Main and Guest
Kids Mode environments without returning to Onion first. It also simplifies
the parent menus and timer controls.

What's new

  • Added Switch to Main profile and Switch to Guest profile to the
    PIN-protected parent menu.
  • Switching profiles keeps Kids Mode open and automatically loads the selected
    profile's favorites, media library, game saves, playback positions, carousel
    selections, artwork cache and preferences.
  • Main and Guest game saves remain fully separate under
    Saves/KidsProfile/Main and Saves/KidsProfile/Guest.
  • The parent PIN and active play timer remain shared and are not reset during
    a profile switch.
  • The switch option appears only when the other Onion profile is available.
  • Onion remains on the selected profile after leaving Kids Mode.

Parent menu improvements

  • Removed the redundant Back rows from the main parent menu and the
    Media folders submenu. Press B to return from either screen.
  • Removed the separate Turn off timer row.
  • The Add play time selector now contains OFF, followed by +5 min to
    +120 min. Selecting OFF removes the current time limit.
  • Fixed the Main/Guest switch labels displaying as blank text or an invalid
    rectangle on the Miyoo Mini.
  • Fixed the timer status text overlapping the last parent-menu row.
  • Pressing A after seeking now clears the seek value and displays only the
    progress bar with elapsed and remaining time.

Updating

  1. Download Kids-Mode.zip from this release.
  2. Exit Kids Mode through the parent menu before updating.
  3. Copy the included App and Media folders to the root of the SD card and
    merge them with the existing folders.
  4. Keep Saves/KidsMode, Saves/KidsProfile, Saves/CurrentProfile,
    Saves/MainProfile and Saves/GuestProfile. They contain settings,
    playback history and save data.
  5. Reboot or refresh the Apps list, then launch Kids Mode.

The first Main/Guest switch may take a few seconds while Onion safely stores
the current profile and loads the other one. Do not power off the console
during this operation.

Requires Onion OS 4.3 or newer. Read the included README for the full controls,
media-folder structure and PIN recovery instructions.
