What is sprigUI?

sprig is a custom operating system for the Miyoo Mini Flip, developed by the spruceOS team. Our aim with this project is to find a niche somewhere between the intentional simplicity of MinUI and the more visually-oriented user interfaces of OnionOS or spruceOS.

Features:

• Custom Python-based frontend that can shapeshift between the visual styles of Miyoo's MainUI, Daijisho, MinUI, or even EmulationStation, courtesy of chrisj951.

• Over 60 supported emulated systems, ranging from retro favorites like the Game Boy, to modern fantasy and homebrew consoles such as Pico-8 and GameTank.

• Over-the-air updates to make updating your device a snap.

• Apps borrowed from our friends on the Onion and MinUI teams, including a file manager, ebook reader, bootlogo flasher, and more.

• Custom power button behavior:

  • Quick tap to sleep/wake.
  • Hold 1-2 seconds for quick save and shutdown; game will autoresume on boot.
  • Hold 3 seconds to force close a frozen app or emulator.
  • Hold 10 seconds to hard shutdown a device as a last resort.

• sprigUI automatically enables wireless ADB and SSH access on boot. You can connect to your device using these services by running the following commands from your computer.

  • ADB: adb connect 192.168.x.x:5555
  • SSH: ssh [email protected]
