More info
Flickering problem resolved. (Hopefully?) I have no way of testing if it’s fixed. If someone could report back regarding it, that would be great.
I’ve included a kernel option to change to 5.3.6. This is the stock kernel included with Clockwork OS 0.5. This will now be the default kernel upon booting up. This is the one that should solve your screen flickering issues.
Since 5.3.6 is @shell’s work, I have also provided 5.4.24 (replacing 5.4.21), which is the progression from their original work.
To avoid problems, I’ve removed the 5.5.90 kernel.
Get the updated utilities here:
(delete the existing 08_Kernel directory, and give the executable bit to the bash scripts as needed.)
Updated sources.list. The stock tsinghua tuna one doesn’t seem to work anymore. I think I just happened to be trying to use it during maintenance. (Archive-Update-in-Progress-nanomirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn)
Here is what I changed it to.

Performed an apt-get upgrade. Checked to make sure graphics drivers are functioning correctly.
Replaced UI elements: scroller.py, skin_manager.py, slider.py with stock DEOT versions.
Replaced Settings menu items: Brightness, Sound with stock DEOT versions, removed Launcher Go list item, and replaced modified list_page.py commenting out Launcher Go. Launcher Go also removed from home directory.
Unfortunately, the OP-1 and Canis Minor themes no longer behave due to the above changes. That’s something I’ll work on for the next update. For now, just use the DEOT theme.
Removed strangely redundant games directories. Eg, the old MAME, MGBA, PCSX etc. They have since changed to ARCADE, GBA, PSX to reflect the console name, as opposed to the emulator name. This was done a while ago, so I have no idea why or how they came back. Also, moved the DEOT Extras directory to be next to the Utils, since it made more sense to have the games together.
Moved the xbindkeys scripts to their respective directories. Just for the sake of cleaning up the user home directory. This applies to Samplerbox and SCUMMVM.
u-boot-tools and flex have been left installed, in case you want to compile your own kernels, and admittedly, so I don’t have to keep reinstalling it every time I flash a new card.
As usual, the links will be uploaded in a few hours to my google drive, then I’ll upload it to mega. When I have a bit of time, I’ll also make a zeroed empty space and auto expanding image.
