🔥 GammaOS Next v1.2.0 just dropped for the RG556 — and it’s everything you’ve been waiting for.

Android 14 / LineageOS 21 under the hood, but the real magic? HDMI Docking Mode — plug into your TV and your screen turns off, resolution auto-adjusts. Pure console vibes.

🕹️ Universal Button Remapping + L2/R2 Fixes — Rebind anything, fix trigger lag, calibrate analog sticks like a pro.

💡 DC Dimming Emulation — Say goodbye to PWM eye strain. Smoother, gentler brightness at low levels.

🧠 Deep Sleep Mode — Cgroups freeze background apps to slash battery drain (some apps may not resume perfectly).

🚀 Performance Modes — Max, Normal, Power Save — toggle instantly from Quick Settings mid-game.

🪟 Immersive Mode On by Default — No status bar, no nav bar. Pure immersion. Swipe from edges to peek.

🧩 App Drawer in Nav Bar — Jump between emulators without leaving your game.

🔌 Relaxed Scoped Storage — No more SAF prompts. Your ROM folders? Accessible.

🪄 GammaRGB LED Sync — RGBs now pulse with screen colors and brightness. Yes, really.

🪛 Magisk Root Integrated — Clean, powerful root for modders.

Two editions:

• Full = Google Play Store
• Lite = Lean, no Google

Flash on Windows only (use 7-Zip to extract .7z.00x files). Backup first — this wipes everything.

🗓️ Public release: Feb 9, 2026 — but Patreon folks get it now.
