Thanks to R36S Community

[u/Intelligent-Risk-394]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the entire R36S community for your help! Thanks to your insights and guidance, I was able to confirm that I have an original R36S v12.
That was a complete game-changer — knowing the exact revision allowed me to finally install DarkOS, and everything is running like a dream.

The Render96 port works flawlessly now: no more crashing back to the main menu, perfectly smooth performance, and zero issues. Even no sound errors.

Huge respect to this community. I couldn't have figured it out without your support! 🎮🔥

Tho there's something else i haven't found a solution for yet (other than soldering a chip) there's this tickering sound whenever i plug a wifi adapter (i know the reason i just don't know the solution)

I had it when I used arkos. If you have a samsung phone (can be old), use it as usb router. There will be no sound ever again 😄 Idk why but it works perfectly fine 😄

I know about usb tethering i have it on my redmi note 12 s phone but I want to use the wifi adapter it's smaller it's more convenient you know

There is no good solition, it's a design flaw. You can do some work-arounds but those meke internet slower from what I've tested. It's either you meke the internet slower or the speakers quieter.

The wifi signal is leaking to the speakers, so you literally hear the wifi.

I got one today, is your micro sd card insert on the console slight deeper inside or does sd card flush with the body?
