Yeah, all the examples work properly, and I can even get some simple sketches that I created to run no problem. Weird part is, i commented out a a section of the sketch pertaining to the clock (forgot where it is, ill try to look for it) and it caused the main screen to load fully, but right after loading it went to a menu screen with options to adjust the clock, led stuff, and some other things, but I couldnt tap on anything.
That's the problem, quite a lot of functions like leds values calculations, moonlights etc relies on RTC so if you commented that code out then unpredictable behaviour will happen.
I'd leave the code as it is, it should work without RTC clock connected, there will be just weird numbers instead of time and date.
