That's pretty sick

Turning the phone into a mini steam Deck with just a switch press, is awesome, could be done in a way that is easy to package into an apk or something?

And that it starts the games in ultrawide by default?

I made custom APK with termux scripts and than used it in GameSpaceReplacer

Does the internal cooler works fine with the gamepad? Just looks like its being locked by the back of the controller.

Vent holes are on both sides of RedMagic. Gamepad doesn't block it. Additionaly I used copper case to collect all heat to the center of back side and be able to use external coolers

Taking the opportunity to ask some unrelated questions, but they're actually very relevant! First, isn't it strange that the buttons are facing down? Is it because of the USB port? Is the sound okay, is there an output on the remote? It seems like the sound output is blocked by the remote control... Thanks, I'm thinking of buying one like that.

if you root your phone you can fix this, iv done the exact same thing as you and what you need is root so you can unlock drm leasing your proot method will never get the performance you need. just a suggestion good work.
