App name, app ID and code package: DroidDeck, com.droiddeck.launcher (sources moved to com/droiddeck/launcher, the 68 JNI functions renamed with them). The new app ID installs beside SteamDeck rather than over it. Everywhere the name was the app's own: the sidebar title, the session report, share zips, the shell title, wake-lock and log tags, User-Agents, the Compose theme, the Download folder and switch files (droiddeck-env, -osc, -driver, -tu-debug, -no-pad, -pad-log, -no-hud, -wlr-renderer; the old names are not read), and inside the runtime (droiddeck-desktop, Firefox's droiddeck.js, the shortcuts tag, the rumble socket, debug and cache paths). Build scripts, CI artifact (droiddeck-apk), CMake project, README and the progress log follow. Kept on purpose: Valve's Steam Deck (the -steamdeck flag, steamdeck_publicbeta/stable, 'Steam Deck mode', the steamos.cloud package URLs) and names inside the hosted desktop package (steamdeck.png, steamdeck-steam, steamdeck-bigpicture). 'Desktop installed' now tests for labwc instead of the launcher the app stages itself. A committed __pycache__ .pyc is removed.

# DroidDeck
|
|
|
|
Run Valve's native ARM64 Steam client on an Adreno Android device. Steam runs in a Linux runtime under proot, with gamescope and an in-app Vulkan compositor. Windows games use Valve's ARM64 Proton and FEX. A desktop with LXQt, Firefox, and emulators is also available.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements and install
|
|
|
|
Use Android 9 or newer on a supported Adreno device (730 or newer, or 8xx). Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR, and Adreno 710 are unsupported. No root is required. Allow about 3 GB for the runtime and 1.1 GB more for the desktop and emulators. Install the APK from [Releases](https://github.com/The412Banner/DroidDeck/releases), install the Linux runtime, then press **Play** and sign in. Steam downloads on first launch. Install **Desktop & apps** to use the desktop and emulators.
|
|
|
|
On Android 12+, if Steam exits without a log, turn off **Restrict child processes** in Developer options.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Run `tools/build_local.sh` with Docker, Java 17, the Android SDK/NDK, and `zstd` installed. It builds the ARM64 audio sinks from PulseAudio 13.0 and packages them into the APK at `app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk`. Set `DROIDDECK_PA13_SOURCE_DIR` to an existing PulseAudio 13.0 source directory to skip downloading it. To install the APK on an attached device, run `tools/deploy_local.sh`.

|
|
## Limits
|
|
|
|
Compatibility and performance vary by device; hardware validation is limited. Desktop compositing uses software rendering. Firefox sandboxing is reduced under proot. See the session logs in `Download/DroidDeck/` when diagnosing problems.
