Wifi & Bluetooth manager problems

So, I'm on the latest dArkOSen on an R36s V22, and I've got a RTL8723BU wifi/bt chip installed

Even before, when I was on darkosre, I've always had a problem with BT manager where after a scan, the device list would not get visualized; I used GPT to correct the script after having it visualize the error log.

This looks to be the culprit for BT manager:

Can't make new window at (2,-1), size (15,58).

This is what GPT said when I told it to copy the visualize method of wifi-manager (which worked until then):

>The log shows that the scan finds devices; the crash happens because the menu uses the MAC address as a tag, so the dialog expands anyway up to size (15,58). I copied the Wi-Fi Manager pattern:

  • list with short tags 1, 2, 3;
  • MAC address kept internally in mac_lookup;
  • menu --menu "" 14 40 8;
  • no --extra-button, because on this TTY it forces weird dimensions.

I don't have access to the full log at the moment, nor to the scripts, because after the last update even wifi manager has the same problem and I can't connect to a network to access the console's root (Wifi chip breaking the OTG port is the worst).

Also I have finished GPT tokens lol.

I'll just put a fixed copy of wifi manager on the SD when I have time so I can patch it up, but I guessed I could put this up for attention. I didn't bring it up earlier because, since literally no one else is having the same problem on this sub and the one time I brought it up I was told to reflow my chip, I figured it was something on my end.

Sooo... What now?

dArkOSRE looks like it's long gone, dArkOSen has been killed by expectations.
What's the community's main OS gonna be now?

I think I'll stick to dArkOSen as long as I can, because it's the best I've ever hand on my V22, but I guess we'll all need to update one day or another.

This is one of the cards I'm making for one of my TTRPG projects.

It's an RPG about lucid dreaming illustrated with only public domain, retouched images.
I couldn't miss the opportunity to stick one of these in!

I know it's probably a bug, but it still made me feel some kind of weird way :')

System Shock for Portmaster (dArkOSRE)

I take no credit whatsoever for this port; I made it with Codex based on Ricardo Ayres' port which didn't work on ArkOS systems.

I only tested it on my R36S with dArkOSRE and I have no skills to fix it further than this lol.

Can anyone tell me if something's wrong with this soldering?

I had the RTL8723BU chip soldered by a friend, but neither of us have experience in microelectronics.

At first the chip just didn't work, not showing any wifi net etcetera (I didn't try the bluetooth features yet).
Then the speaker kept cackling to the point it started to make a hissing sound, and I started to notice a vague burning smell lol. I turned off the console and extracted the battery asap and apart from a weird deformation near the first soldering pin on the left I don't see anything weird (I already took out that string under the battery input).

Since it's not the usual smell of burnt electronics, I'm thinking we didn't clean the area enough and that might have disturbed the circuits, but if anyone with better understanding of electronics could take a look at the pictures I'd be very grateful!

Also, I read on this sub that some V21 versions of the console lack some capacitors needed by the chip to work. Mine is a V22 2024-12-18 (picture of the full board included), might that be the case?

Did any of you manage to set controls for System Shock?

I'm thinking about diving into the DOSBox settings to get the game working with the R36S controls, but before losing my mind, I figured I'd ask if anyone has already tried it and has any tips.
