Dramatic Shape Android performance fork Optional DRAMATIC_SHAPE-1.6.0-android.2.zip

The official Gen1Recomp Android release does not yet contain the complete dual-display host support used here, so the linked host fork is currently required. Kanto Gear works without Voxel; the Voxel fork is only the optional tested 3D renderer.

What changed

  • Consolidated Kanto Gear's options into five clear settings: Theme, Info, Area Map, Gear Screen and Battle View. Existing saved choices are migrated rather than discarded.
  • Fixed D-pad and joystick navigation in the four-move companion layout so vertical input follows the visible column instead of forcing a detour through another move.
  • Moved Kanto Gear onto the host's explicit companion-display and render-composition interfaces instead of relying on an incidental render hook.
  • The required 0.1.72 host adds Retroid Pocket 5 Dual Screen Add-on routing, safer focus/input handling, hotplug and standby recovery, non-blocking diagnostics, and the AYN Thor hardware screen-toggle guard.
  • The optional Voxel 1.6.0-android.2 package removes the translucent empty HP-panel backings seen with Stadium battles after those panels move to Kanto Gear.

Tested

The complete set was tested on an AYN Thor running Android 13, including screen off/on, standby/resume, display recovery, map and door transitions, battles, party/status ownership, move navigation, restart persistence, and the optional Stadium path. Retroid Pocket 5 support was community-tested with Retroid's USB-C Dual Screen Add-on. GammaOS devices remain unverified, so reports are welcome.

Special thanks to @Rocky5150 for patiently testing the Retroid Pocket 5 dual-screen support, collecting detailed diagnostics, and working with us for more than 24 hours to identify and verify the Android display-routing fixes.

Updating

Install the APK over the existing Gen1Recomp Android Test app; do not uninstall first. Then import the new Kanto Gear ZIP through MODS ? Import mod .zip. Replace the Voxel package only if you use it.

This remains an unofficial Android public test release. Keep an exported save backup. No ROM, ROM-extracted asset or game data is included.
