Developer options' "Disable child process restrictions" writes only the
feature-flag property persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_enable_monitor_phantom_procs,
never the global setting. Android (FeatureFlagUtils.isEnabled) uses the global
setting when it is set and that property otherwise, but the check read only the
global setting, so a device switched off in Developer options stayed flagged as
unset however often Check again was pressed.
The check now follows Android's order, and the Setup card no longer says "On"
for a setting that is unset or unreadable.
* docs(release): draft 0.2.0 beta notes
* docs(release): credit prs and authors in 0.2.0 notes
* docs(release): add #39 and #45 to 0.2.0 notes
* chore: update readme
* fix(ui): cover the whole screen with the capsule wall
The wall was shifted right and then tilted around its own centre, which
left the bottom-left of the home and loading screens bare. Centre it and
size it to the tilted page's bounding box so every corner stays covered.
* feat(ui): flood from the play button into the throbber
Starting a session from a blue button no longer slides the session up
over the front end. The button stretches out on staggered springs until
the page is the ball's blue, the session opens on that same blue with no
window animation, and the blue gathers into the throbber's ball before
the throbber starts. Re-joining a running session, tiles and reduced
motion keep the old rise.
* docs(release): cover everything since 0.1 in the 0.2.0 notes
0.2.0 is the first release from the org, so list what DroidDeck does
as a whole, grouped by area: org pull requests as #N, pull requests
from before the move as The412Banner/DroidDeck#N, and the early work
that predates pull requests by author. CI and build work gets one
short section instead of a line each.
* docs(release): add screenshots and animations to the 0.2.0 notes
Lead with a game running and a few visual highlights, fold the full
list into collapsible sections by area, and shorten every line to the
feature and its credit. Pre-move pull requests read as legacy#N.
* fix(session): give the desktop its own loading hints
The loading screen's hints were written for Steam, so starting the
desktop or an emulator said the first run downloads Steam and that
leaving the app pauses Steam. Desktop and program sessions now rotate
through hints about the desktop instead.
* fix(build): skip incomplete NDKs when picking one locally
An interrupted sdkmanager install leaves a directory like
28.2.13676358.failed under ndk/, which sorted last and was picked
without a toolchain in it. Only consider directories that carry
source.properties.
* docs(release): show launching straight into Big Picture
* docs(release): credit the launch transition to #46
Twice today a session's Xwayland aborted from one thread ("The futex
facility returned an unexpected error code"), proot lost the tracee, and
the process lived on reparented to init: proot's seccomp filter, with no
tracer left, answers ENOSYS, so Xwayland's main loop logged
"WaitForSomething(): poll: Function not implemented" until something killed
it - 9 GB after Dolphin, 13 GB after PPSSPP. --kill-on-exit and the tree
sweep only reach what proot still traces, and the straggler sweep ran only
at the next session's start.
Now a session stop also kills every process of ours whose executable lives
in the Linux runtime, and bannerlator-session keeps only the first
BL_LOG_CAP bytes (256 MB) of session.log, draining the rest so a writer
that filled it is not killed by SIGPIPE.
Cemu never showed a frame on DroidDeck: its Getting Started dialog blocked
every first launch (the folder picker cannot reach ROMs), the session's
controller helper aborted it, and the desktop's Vulkan renderer drew no
cursor. With the Turnip KGSL fix in the driver and the haptic-optional
Cemu in the catalog, this makes the app side complete:
- bannerlator-pad-defaults seeds Cemu's settings.xml once: the Wii U games
folder, Vulkan, and Cubeb audio on the default device for both the TV
and the GamePad speaker at full volume (Wipeout 3 plays through the
GamePad; Cemu's own default is 20 %).
- The Cemu tile launches full screen (-f).
- libfakeinput.so is preloaded into every session process and exported its
static C++ runtime (~7000 symbols); programs unwound through it and
aborted (shadPS4 in pthread_exit, Cemu's controller thread). Link with
--exclude-libs,ALL, and fail the build if the runtime leaks out again.
- On the Vulkan and GLES desktops the pointer worked but no cursor was
drawn: wlroots hands the cursor to the app's compositor, which draws
none. WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 makes labwc composite it itself.
Device-tested on the FIT: Super Mario 3D World in-game at 35-37 fps with
sound, Deus Ex HR DC and Wipeout 3 launch with sound; RPCS3, Dolphin and a
Steam session (FlatOut) unchanged on the same driver.
