Feature request: ship Cromite with gamepad access flag enabled by default on handheld builds #3

Hi, small feature request for the Android handheld image.

Since andr36oid now ships Cromite, could the image please enable the Cromite / Chromium gamepad-access flag by default for these handheld console builds?

Why this would help:

  • this device is a game handheld first
  • browser-based HTML5 games are a natural fit here (I know the RAM and compute are weak, but this may change in future, and I have a good use case to test)
  • needing to manually toggle the gamepad-related flag is awkward on-device
  • a console-focused default would make web games and browser-based launchers work more naturally out of the box

Suggested outcome:

  • enable the relevant gamepad access flag by default in the shipped Cromite config for andr36oid handheld builds
  • or expose an obvious first-boot toggle if you don’t want it forced globally

Reason for request:
Cromite is privacy-hardened, so its defaults are understandable, but on an R36S / R36S Plus Android gaming image, controller usability in the browser is a particularly important use case.

If helpful, I can test a build or confirm whether changing the relevant flag resolves controller input for browser games on my unit.
