  • Fn button added to dArkOS
  • safe to run on dArkOS4Clone

This offline\online setup tool for the R36S will complete your initial dArkOS install on the R36S. It will:

  • copy new boot logo, low battery and loading screens
  • copy new background music, R36H-Synthwave-Retro-Compilation.mp3
  • copy R36S Theme Patcher to Tools
  • restore the Fn button by installing a compatible ogage
  • dArkOS ONLY - install teacupx's OC Kernel v1.40 (1296 Mhz default, 1512 Mhz max)

  • install Jason_3x's Realtek driver pack for all modules

  • create 'System Folder Installer' in your tools folder (use the version that matches your LED)
  • install the volume standby/resume fix (no more speaker pops)
  • install the rotate boot logo service (place .bmps in /boot/BMPs)
  • install the rotate loading image service (place .jpgs in /roms/launchimages/JPGs)
  • install SjslTech's Portmaster fix for dArkOS

    - RetroOz
    - Simple

This tool is intended for dArkOS but can be run on dArkOSRE as well. The OC kernel is exclusive to dArkOS for now.

You can run this script any time. It can be run again if needed, all functions are idempotent.

This patch also restores use of the Fn button by copying a compatible ogage file. (https://github.com/kingmagress/darkosre-ogage-fn)

R36S Patched Themes

A few of my favorite themes that aren't easy to find elsewhere.

RetroOz theme is ripped from dArkOSRE and has been patched to properly display the clock.

Simple theme is ripped from the stock SD card.

XMB theme is a fan mod found here: https://github.com/jovemlcxx/es-theme-xmb-fcamod

R36S Theme Patcher

A simple patch script that fills in missing battery indicator data for the themes to display the battery and clock properly on the R36S.

All files are backed up before editing, ie. theme.xml.bak in the root folder of each theme.

If the patcher 'ruins' a formerly working theme restore the backup manually.

After patching each theme, a flag file '.patched' is created in the root of each patched theme. To prevent the patcher from patching unwanted themes copy the ',patched' flag into any theme folders you do not wish to patch. They will be skipped when the patcher is run.

Results from the patcher will not be perfect as themes use different fonts and may need adjusting. The adjustable parameters are at the bottom of theme.xml in the root of each theme folder.
