  • File size: Not more than 64KB

Things to keep in mind

We’d like to give a huge shout-out to Reddit user u/schmurtzm for creating the “Easy Logotweak.” This script, per u/schmurtzm, will backup the original boot screen, allow Miyoo Mini owners to choose a new one, and flash it in a simple and easy way.

A word of caution though. The creator of the script explains that Easy Logotweak writes directly to the NAND flash of the Miyoo Mini which means that there’s a very small chance (1.28 percent) that the device can get bricked. As a precaution, make sure to use a fully charged battery and see to it that it’s seated properly. Using a dependable (branded) SD card would also help.

Final thoughts

The Miyoo Mini offers a ton of personalization options that allow owners to customize their devices to their heart’s content.

In its segment, the Miyoo Mini appears to be one of the most promising platforms with various aftermarket mods such as decals, button replacements, and a variety of accessories and carrying cases to add to the booming software updates this budget-friendly console has in store.
