22. move virtual buttons to any position, just one button mode and button group mode
 +
 +
what's button group? you can move many buttons together. like these button groups
 +
 +
Phone (2 built-in button groups): 123456789*0#, 8-Way+OK
 +
 +
Z-Pad (2 built-in button groups): 8-Way D-Pad, 1234

 +
You can also modify the spacing value for a button group, making two buttons farther or closer together. The size of the button group or only one button can also be customized, and the button group will be automatically adjusted. A single button or group of buttons cannot exceed the screen boundaries. Button groups can be rotated by custom clockwise and counterclockwise angles (like these CCW85°,CW72°,180°,0. more than 0 less than 180° show CW or CCW. 180° no CW and CCW. 0 default no "°"), suitable for boomerang controller

 +
23. install new fanmade .zip based .brw and .brew extensions (file format)
 +
 +
Actually Android .apk is a .zip file, you can install .apk directly without copying files. We need a new app installer supports .brw and .brew like Android .apk.
 +
 +
how to create .brw or .brew files?
 +
 +
mif/276153.mif, mod/276153/xxx, mod/276153/quake2res/xxx.
 +
 +
Multi-select: mif and mod folders, compress to .zip.
 +
 +
Rename Quake2 (Zeebo).brw or Quake2 (Zeebo).brew
 +
 +
Why .brw and .brew? someone doesn't like too long file format like .yaml, so they creates .yml. .zip is used by too many apps, we need our own file formats
 +
 +
You can use AOSP built-in files app to open .brw and .brew with Melange like nofun. This video 0:10 https://youtu.be/0R7Vbc3Q1OM
