HANDHELDS

Anbernic has released system update V1.44 for the RG Rotate handheld, introducing new customization options for the device's lock screen. This update matters to owners who want to personalize their device's interface without relying on pre-installed themes. The changes allow users to replace the default clock display with their own designs or choose from several new digital styles.

New software patch enables personal lock screen designs

The RG Rotate is a handheld gaming device that runs a custom operating system. This latest software patch targets the lock screen interface, which is the first thing users see when waking the device. The update focuses on visual customization rather than performance improvements or new gaming features.

The update includes multiple new digital watch face styles that users can select directly from the system menu. It also adds support for custom watch faces created by the user. To install a custom design, users must create a specific folder containing four required files: clock_background, clock_hour, clock_minute, and clock_second.

Anbernic added a toggle switch to hide the status bar on the lock screen, giving users a cleaner look. The update also addresses several known bugs in previous versions of the software. These fixes aim to improve stability and resolve issues reported by the community since the device's launch.
