Retroid Pocket Duo Lite

The AYN Thor's Android app, laid out for the Duo Lite: the 5.5″ upper screen is the monitor, the 4.2″ touch screen the keyboard and trackpad, the Retroid Pocket Controller the gamepad. Nothing rooted, nothing replaced.

Install

  1. On the Duo Lite, 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, from Retroid's launcher or Android's. 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 about a minute.
  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 controls where they sit on the Duo Lite, and what each does: the D-pad over the left stick, A B X Y as printed (X top, A right), SELECT and START at the screen's upper corners. 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. HOME stays Android's.
