PowKiddy X18S LineageOS Beta #3 (analog triggers & MacOS support) (Patreon)

We now have two-step analog trigger support (Super Mario Sunshine players will be happy to know they can finally operate FLUDD) as well as MacOS support for the X18STool installer! (Only for X86_64 Macs though, not for M1...)

A big shout-out to victoriemini for letting me borrow his MacBook Pro to work out a MacOS port of the X18STool installer!

And as always, thanks to all my Patrons for making projects like these possible!

How to install: Unpack the attached files using 7zip and follow the included instructions found inside README.txt. For those simply upgrading, please enter "NO" when asked whether you want to wipe userdata!

For those needing the Google Play Store: The PowKiddy X18S is a read-only partition device, which means flashing Google Play app packages (via a recovery) isn't possible. Magisk is shipped out-of-box though, allowing the install of system-less Google Play packages like MagiskGapps. The included README.txt contains a section explaining how to.

For those needing root: Magisk is included out of box and only needs to be activated on first boot. Due to the boot partition being signed, in-app updates of Magisk will render the device semi-bricked. Long story short: Don't update Magisk! When a new Magisk update gets released I will make sure to release a new build containing it!

Changelog

• Added support for two-step analog triggers (L1 + L2 / R1 + R2)
• Added support for MacOS (X86_64) in the X18STool installer

Unfixable known issues (including fixable things that aren't up to me to fix)

• The screen turns off while using HDMI output (PowKiddy uses this to hide the fact that their LCM/LCD rotation values are off, but there's little I can do to fix this unless someone at PowKiddy decides to send me the kernel sourcecode)
• Updating Magisk or trying to uninstall it via the app semi-bricks the device because the bootloader expects signed boot images (don't do it)
• The kernel wakes the device up every so and so minutes for a split second (its annoying, but there's little I can do to fix this unless someone at PowKiddy decides to send me the kernel sourcecode)
