TrinketOS
A downloadable launcher/system for Android
Welcome, adventurer!
The stars have aligned.
The signal is stable.
The vault responds.
TrinketOS is a pixel retro-style launcher and system shell for Android-based handhelds (such as Retroid or Odin), crafted for explorers who want their device to feel like a personal terminal, adapted for a small horizontal screen and controller, not a recycled phone UI.
You can browse files. Read markdown. Cast dice. Watch the moon. Tinker with colors and controls. And wear hats!

The keys to my heart are embedded in a slab of ancient amber. TrinketOS holds the key (not my heart key... different key). The only way out is through! That's the key!
this is neat! Is there any chance of a slightly lower android deployment target? I wanted to try this on my handheld but it’s running on API 28 but needed 30
Thanks! Yes, next version will support down to API 23
awesome!! thanks, Wizard
Is there a way to flip the screen? I installed this on an old phone that I use for emulation. I have a Gamesir X5 phone controller and for some reason the USB plug is on the left instead of the right, so with the phone in the controller the screen is upside-down.
This is neat and novel. There's only 2 things I would like to be added or changed:
Consistent pixel sizes and alignments. This is likely due to you leaning on android UI API despite the retro look.
Ditch the Android UI stuff. I am actually undertaking a similar project but with C/C++ and Raylib so it can be cross platform, even for the web. (Doing this can allow things like Lua as a scripting language for the end users to use ;))
dope
Just awesome!
Techdweeb sends his regards Thank you for saving us from the retro handheld human hybrids!! (i dont ask, i only answer the call, ALSO i adore this and tysm for making it.)
