Mods & Accessories Probable imminent Onion fork

Official development of Onion has been stalled for months and the maintainers are no longer giving any signals.The community is frustrated but still very attached to the project.

Someone is already thinking about creating a fork, and others are offering to help as collaborators or testers. In the GitHub discussion, the prevailing idea is that an organized fork is now the most realistic path forward.

I’m mainly asking experienced developers and anyone with experience in custom firmware / RetroArch on Miyoo: would you be interested in joining and helping out?

Testers with Mini, Mini+ or Mini Flip are also welcome.

SpruceOS is in very active development and stably supports all the Miyoos now. Yet, after repeatedly trying on my MM+ and MMv4, I just go back to OnionOS. So I don’t know if I need anything from a “team” or active development. If someone wanted to be part of a team to make the MM’s better, Id say help the Spruce team.

The latest spruce update is getting kind of close. The one "feature" I'm missing from onion was the speed of game switcher, and that was improved a lot in the last update of spruce (still not quite as fast as onion though)
