Cocoon, a launcher frontend built for Android gaming handhelds, has released a 3.1 beta update centered on an 'Enhanced Device Access' mode that lets users suspend, resume, and switch between games from the home screen grid. The update also adds performance tweaks for lower-spec devices, a resizable grid editor, precise battery percentage readouts, and dual-screen output swapping. The beta is available via sideload on GitHub and includes an auto-updater.
