Omarchy Pocket

Install · AYN Thor

AYN Thor

An Android app. Nothing rooted, nothing replaced: the upper screen is the monitor, the touch screen the keyboard and trackpad, the Odin controller the gamepad. The same APK runs on the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite.

Install

  1. On the Thor, open the release in the browser and download omarchy-pocket-0.2.1.apk and omarchy-pocket-root.tar.zst.
  2. Open the APK and install it. Android asks once to let the browser or the file manager install apps.
  3. Open Omarchy Pocket. With no Linux root yet, the upper screen says so. Press START, and pick omarchy-pocket-root.tar.zst in the file picker. The app copies it and unpacks the root, which takes a few minutes.
  4. Unlock with the password omarchy.

Controls

The shoulders are SUPER. Hold L1 for the window layer and R1 for the move layer, both for workspaces. After a quarter of a second, the lower screen draws the buttons around it and what each does. With no shoulder held, the gamepad types: the D-pad is the arrows, A Enter, B Backspace, X Tab, Y Space, START Escape. SELECT shows the keys or folds them away; L1 + SELECT lists everything.
