- **Cross-compiled Xlibre (`X11Libre/xserver` 25.2.0)**: compiled specifically for ARMv7 Cortex-A7 (`-O2 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -fno-plt -fomit-frame-pointer`) with all 3D/GLX/Glamor/VGA/DGA/XVideo bloat stripped out, rootless `elogind` device management, and `modesetting` KMS + `ShadowFB` (`drmModeDirtyFB` partial rectangle SPI updates) with automatic software cursor fallback on `/dev/dri/card0` (`panel-mipi-dbi`).
- **Non-Nerd `Fira Code` with OpenType ligatures**: `Fira Code` (`font-fira-code`) is configured as the primary system and terminal font across Fontconfig, Xft, `st`, `dmenu`, `dwm`, `conky`, and `dunst`, with `DejaVu SansM Nerd Font` used strictly as a fallback for Private Use Area icon glyphs.
- **Patched `sxmo-st` (`st`) with HarfBuzz ligatures & XIM**: patched with `libharfbuzz` (`hb.c`/`hb.h`) shaping (`liga`, `calt`, `clig`, `dlig`) so multi-character programming operators (`->`, `=>`, `!=`, `<=`, `>=`, `===`, `::`, `//`, `/*`) render as continuous ligatures at `pixelsize=18`, alongside full `XIM` (`fcitx5-t9`) input support.
- **Patched `sxmo-dmenu` (`dmenu`) (`< 15 ms` startup)**: full-screen `240x296` 10-line vertical menu (positioned flush at `Y = 24..320` right below the 24px `dwm` bar, with a `26px` search bar and ten `27px` item rows) with a `#383838` top search bar, `#005577` prompt badge, `#1c1c1c` item list, `XIM` (`XSetLocaleModifiers("")`, `XSetICFocus`, `Xutf8LookupString`) for live `fcitx5-t9` search filtering and `#` mode switching, C-level focus preservation (`prevfocuswin`), and direct Nokia keypad bindings.
- **Patched `sxmo-dmenu` plugin (`dmenu.so` / `dmenu` / `xdmenu`) (`< 2 ms` popup/close)**: preloaded resident DWM plugin rendering a full-screen `240x296` 10-line vertical menu (positioned flush at `Y = 24..320` right below the 24px `dwm` bar, with a `26px` search bar and ten `27px` item rows) with a `#383838` top search bar, `#005577` prompt badge, `#1c1c1c` item list, `XIM` (`XSetLocaleModifiers("")`, `XSetICFocus`, `Xutf8LookupString`) for live `fcitx5-t9` search filtering and `#` mode switching, C-level focus preservation (`prevfocuswin`), built-in `< 0.5 ms` in-place Sxmo menu transitions (`Sys`, `Apps`, `Scripts`, `Modem`, `Config`, `Power`, `St`, `Nano`), and a `/tmp/dwm_plugin_dmenu.sock` IPC server for all `/usr/bin/dmenu` and `sxmo_dmenu.sh` calls.
- **Patched `sxmo-dwm` (`dwm`) (`< 2 ms` display wake/unlock & native plugin system)**: configured for `240x320` (`bh = 24`, `#323232` top bar, `#005577` active tag/border, vertical `bstack` layout default, overflow-protected Pango status bar rendering keeping the right-aligned clock always visible, and a transparent-backgrounded bottom desktop softkey bar displaying `"Menu"` and `"Names"` over the wallpaper). Directly polls `/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event` (`SW_LID`) and intercepts locked-state wake keys (`XF86PowerOff`, `XF86PickupPhone`, `XF86KbdLcdMenu1`, `XF86KbdLcdMenu2`) in C to toggle `/sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness` and `/sys/class/leds/white:kbd_backlight/brightness` in `< 2 ms` before running Sxmo state hooks asynchronously.
- **Preloaded DWM plugins (`src/dwm-plugins/` & `src/xdrawer/`, `< 10 ms` FIFO wakeup)**: `dwm` dynamically loads `.so` plugins from `/usr/lib/dwm/plugins/` and `~/.local/lib/dwm/plugins/` (`xdrawer.so`, `dialer.so`, `calllog.so`, `contacts.so`) and preloads them as resident background daemons (`dwm-plugin <name> --preload`) at startup. Each daemon keeps its X11 window, offscreen `Pixmap`, Xft/Pango layouts (`15px` `Fira Code, DejaVuSansM Nerd Font`), and `stat()`-cached Sxmo TSV state initialized in memory while sleeping at 0% CPU on `/tmp/dwm_plugin_<name>.fifo`.
- **Preloaded DWM plugins (`src/sxmo-dmenu/`, `src/dwm-plugins/` & `src/xdrawer/`, `< 2 ms` FIFO/socket wakeup)**: `dwm` dynamically loads `.so` plugins from `/usr/lib/dwm/plugins/` and `~/.local/lib/dwm/plugins/` (`dmenu.so`, `xdrawer.so`, `dialer.so`, `calllog.so`, `contacts.so`, `sms.so`, `files.so`, `camera.so`) and preloads them as resident background daemons (`dwm-plugin <name> --preload`) at startup. Each daemon keeps its X11 window, offscreen `Pixmap`, Xft/Pango layouts, and `stat()`-cached Sxmo TSV state initialized in memory while sleeping at 0% CPU on `/tmp/dwm_plugin_<name>.fifo`.
2. **Multi-mode `fcitx5-t9` keypad engine (`src/fcitx5-t9/`)**:
- Supports 6 input modes cycled with `#` (`XF86NumericPound`): `abc`, `Abc`, `ABC`, `Sym`, `Ctl`, and `123`, updating the live top-bar status indicator (`[abc]`, `[Abc]`, `[ABC]`, `[Sym]`, `[Ctl]`, `[123]`) in real time.
- Locks the candidate popup bar to the bottom of the screen (`X = 1, Y = 290, W = 238, H = 30`) with fixed-width 28-character monospace formatting (`Fira Code 9.5`), so neither the popup window nor individual letters ever jump when cycling through candidates.
