I suffered that issue using the offcial firmware that came with my device, but only happened from time to time and autofixed after a reboot. I currently use legacy and didn't happen no more, so perhaps is a common issue in all devices that occurs under certain circumstance.

Hey there! Just installed Legacyrom the other day and it certainly is better than the standard stuff that comes with the GPD XD! I'm having a few problems though.

It seems that I can't "currently running" screen accessed by hitting the menu button with the controller? Is it supposed to be like this? The screen I get by holding the menu button down also cannot be controlled via buttons either. It makes closing out of apps really difficult when playing through HDMI. Is this a Launcher3 issue?

Speaking of Launcher 3, I seem to have some weirdness controlling the home menu with the controller as well. I can't seem to get it to select the "all apps" button which can be frustrating. Are these just niggling issues present in LegacyROM or do I need to fix something?

Last one: Retroarch is keeping my GPD awake. I have no idea why. Even when I hit the lock button, the sound from which ever game I have loaded in Retroarch keeps playing and the game keeps running! Same for if I close my GPD. No other emulator does this. Is there something I'm missing in Retroarch to fix this? I've Googled it a ton, but no results.

EDIT: Weird. I just had MyBoy do the sleep mode thing to me as well although I now can't seem to replicate it. I don't think it's a hardware issue as the screen DOES shut off when I put it to sleep and seemingly goes to sleep whenever I close it without Retroarch open.

Maybe is a launcher3 issue, I use the launcher3 from stock rom, so the behaviour should be the same as stock rom. I never used launcher3.

Buttons and keys are similar to stock rom.

About retroarch avoiding sleep, maybe is something with new retroarch, I never had those issues when I had my XD. Sleep mode is the same as stock rom too, so it should behave the same.

Thanks for the response! Any suggestions then? I'm planning to use another launcher instead of launcher3, but it appears that they still use the same "Running Apps" screen? Is there something that I can change to fix this since my device is now rooted? I don't have any experience with rooted devices personally so I'm not sure what's possible.

On Retroarch: Damn. Was really hoping you might have the answer. I guess the quest continues to figure out what the hell it's doing. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'll gladly listen.

how to uninstall this program to return the factory settings of gpd ... such as removing the "legacy Rom"

Thanks for the reply! I too decided to opt for the lock-screen and to press select. I actually think I'm going to make a GPD lock-screen image that looks like a game title screen with the GPD logo and says "Press Select to Start" for when I have friends playing on it.

How can i solve this? I installed the version in Q9, and don't work.
The game horizon chase need to use the option null joystick.

Thanks.

Where did you install it? In q9 or XD? this rom is for xd, not for q9. q9 has its own legacyROM

Try reinstalling using PC method 1. Null joystick works fine, so try reinstalling in case it was a bad installation.

Hi, why does downloading stop when screen turns off?
Im downloading playstore games or any thing with wifi screen of it cuts off.. Like the device goes in pause mode... Really anoying when u wanna download shit and not drain battery with screen on..
How to fix this wifi is on always on already...

Few things you can try:
- Go to settings> tap on wi-fi > tap on the options top right ( 3 dots ) > tap on advanced >
        - from here you can make sure Keep Wi-Fi during sleep is set to Always
        - If that doesn't work maybe try to turn off Wi-Fi optimization (uncheck it)
- If all that still doesn't work try to charge the GPD XD when you are downloading
- If nothing works then install a 3rd party app like KeepScreen so that the screen stays on while you download.

Btw love the rom (and anyway to get the gpd stock launcher all the android ones are kinda more touchscreen made they work but i liked the stock one of the gpd xd)

If you mean what Launchers work best with the gamepad, I personally use SquareHome2, and it works great with gamepad. less touch, more gamepad.

Thanks yeah wifi optimization is on that might be the problem.
And i mean i use nova. But i liked the stock style launcher... But i tried all suggestions on here but didn't like them. Can u get the stock launcher? Just for fun i think i still stickt to nova but who knows

Via usb it wil be detected as a flash drive,so the route will be different. sotrage/sdcard1 is for microSD directly. For external applications use in a usb, try with the folder mount or link2SD. Apps are always installed in internal like in any android device that use unified storage. Also, make sure your usb flash drive is formatted in fat, if it's in ntfs some apps may not be compatible with it.

That applies for legacyrom or stock, since storage is the same in all firmwares

That depends on the app. I have never downloaded torrent to a flash drive, so I suppose it depends on the app

I fixed with "Paragon Root Manager", now i can also use NTS drive as storage. Awesome !

i have 2 question:

1 - Legacy_XD_14_NULLJOYSTICK has any type of overclock vs stock rom?

2 - Is safe to use 1.6 or 1.8 version, Is only speed related?

3 - Is normal that the wifi signal is not very strong? are there 2 walls from me and the router xD

1 - Just ddr speed, but is practically like stock.
2- Completely safe.
3- That depends on how the wifi antenna is soldered. I had great wifi on mine. It's not firmware dependant anyway.
