- We think spruce is best described as being a beautification and optimization of the stock Miyoo OS that cleans up bloat, optimizes performance and focuses on aesthetics.
- Spruce is intended to be sleek, intuitive, efficient and user friendly, we hope that you enjoy it.

STICK DRIFT ISSUES
- Calibrate your stick through the settings tab in the main menu.
- Please do not adjust the settings in Retroarch unless you are very familiar with it.
- Removing or changing settings may cause games or controls to not work correctly.
- The "Default" settings are from Miyoo and will remove all the custom configuration that has been done for spruce.
- Included are five themes located in Settings. More icons and themes are planned to be added in the future.
- You can add themes from your Miyoo Mini or MMP. NOTE: There will be some missing assets because the A30 has additional ones.
