After first successful proper iBasso DX220 ROM port to DX200 device, I tried to find how to make Mango OS usable but it seems to be impossible and I can’t bring DX200 Mango OS back to DX220 partition image.

As a result, I decided to remove Mango OS mode completely to avoid confusion. If you prefer Mango OS too, I recommend official 1.0.6 ROM with DX220 MangoPlayer too.

The first DX220 ROM ported to DX200 worked for most cases but it also has stability issues so I decided to change the approach. This time I worked from DX220 image directly and inject DX200 files for proper port.

After testing for a while, it unexpectedly sound better too and Android OS is now stable. Mango OS however will have DX220 resolution so it won’t work properly. I recommend official 1.0.6 ROM with DX220 MangoPlayer for those who prefer to use Mango OS.

After successful ports of iBasso DX220 ROM to DX150 and DX200 devices, it’s finally time to add Purist ROM optimizations to actual DX220 now. I tested with real iBasso DX220 DAP before applying Fidelizer Mod optimizations to confirm that it worked fine.
