v1.3 8 Elite beta 2: AYN Odin 3 and KONKR Pocket FIT Elite

pre-release9 hours ago

Second beta for the Snapdragon 8 Elite: the AYN Odin 3, and now the KONKR Pocket FIT Elite too, both on the same image!

Big thanks to @FearlessSpiff and @Chazmus for the help.

What's new

  • Switch to Desktop works, and so does Steam's update check (no more "Update Error").
  • Performance overlay is back
  • KONKR Pocket FIT Elite: sound (speakers and headphones) and the stick lights should work now, let me know if they do on yours.
  • Games that minimize themselves behind Quick Access come back when you close it, instead of a black screen.
  • Wi-Fi reconnects faster after booting or waking up.
  • Sleep should use less battery and wake up more reliably, with a batch of kernel sleep fixes.
  • Settings stick: anything you turn on in Desktop Mode (like SSH) actually starts after a reboot now.
  • Decky: updated to 3.2.10, so plugins that broke on 3.2.9 load again.
  • Games run without the Steam Frame's VR layers from steam frame (headset-only rendering tweaks Steam added to every game).

Known issues

  • The frame limiter may not work.

Download

Download the .7z parts below and extract the .001 one with 7-Zip or WinRAR, that gives you the .img. SHA256s are in SHA256SUMS.

Installing

  1. Flash ROCKNIX ABL for SM8750 to abl_a and abl_b. Back up your stock ABL first, the steps for both are in the Odin 3 guide.
  2. Flash the .img to a microSD card (32GB+) with balenaEtcher or Rufus.
  3. Hold Volume Down while turning it on, set Boot Mode to Linux and hit START.

First boot takes a couple of minutes.

Not booting or something broken? Make a text file called debug on the SD card's BOOT drive, boot and wait 3 minutes, then send the debug-logs folder on discord.
