v1.2.4

• Fixed: multiplayer saying "different version" when both phones have the same version. Files the game never uses (like Thumbs.db or desktop.ini, added when the game folder is copied on a PC or Mac) no longer count.
• Clearer message when phones can't connect: it now says what's different (the app version, the game files, or the Data files / mods) and what to do about it.

If you have 1.2.3, use Check for updates in the app. Otherwise install over your current version: your game files, saves and settings stay. Both phones need 1.2.4 to play together.

Cricket 07 for Android v1.2.3

• Check for updates: a new button on the start screen. From now on the app can update itself: it downloads the new version and installs it over the old one, and your game files, saves and mods stay. (This version still has to be installed by hand once.)
• Fixed: the game closing at start on some newer phones (found thanks to a crash report from a Redmi Note 14).
• Fixed: crash when restarting Ashes scenarios (and after switching modes many times): the game slowly ran out of sound memory.
• Fixed: touch controls missing in Training Nets: batting and bowling nets now show their controls.
• Android TV: the app now appears on the TV home screen (play with a controller).

Install over v1.2.x: your game files, saves and settings stay. If the game ever closes unexpectedly, open the app again and share the crash report with me.

Cricket 07 for Android v1.2.2

• Fix for the game closing straight away on some newer phones (reported on a Moto Edge 60 Pro with Android 17 and a Dimensity 7200 phone): the app now works on phones that use 16 KB memory pages.
• Crash reports: if the game closes unexpectedly, the next time you open the app it offers to share or copy a crash report. Please send it to me any way you like (Reddit, a GitHub issue, a message): it has your phone model, Android version and the game's log, nothing personal, and it shows exactly where the crash happened.
• FPS counter: turn it on or off in the touch-control settings (the gear in the game).

Install over v1.2.x: your game files, saves and settings stay. Everything else is as in v1.2.0.

Cricket 07 for Android v1.2.1

Fixes for Xiaomi / Poco phones (reported on a Poco M5, Android 14):

• Touch controls not working (only Pause responded): some phones list a built-in part as a game controller, which took over from the touch buttons. The app now only uses real external controllers.
• Black bar on one side in widescreen: the game now also draws in the area beside the camera notch.

Install over v1.2: your game files, saves and settings stay. Everything else is as in v1.2.0.

Cricket 07 for Android v1.2.0

Play EA Sports Cricket 07 natively on Android with your own copy of the PC game. No game files are included.

Install

1. Download Cricket07.apk below on your phone and install it (64-bit phone, Android 10 or later with Vulkan, about 1.3 GB free).
2. On your PC, zip the folder Cricket 07 is installed in (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\EA SPORTS\Cricket 07): right-click it, then Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder. Copy the .zip to your phone.
3. Open the app, tap Choose a .zip file and pick it.

Updating from v1.1: install over it. Your game files, saves and settings stay.

New in v1.2

• Mods: add other people's game files (rosters, kits, commentary) as a .zip or a single file such as data.gob. Switch them on and off any time; your original files are kept and come back. The app checks mods before using them, won't let them replace the game's exe, and offers to switch them off if the game doesn't start.
• New look: start screens styled after the game's own menus, and a new app icon.
• Multiplayer fixes: phones on a hotspot (or Wi-Fi without internet) can now find each other, and two players with the same game no longer get "different version". Clearer help when no match is found.

Still included

• Full screen: Widescreen (default), Stretch or 4:3, plus a button opacity slider (gear in the game)
• Touch controls that change with the game, a classic controller layout, and separate batting move buttons
• Physical controller support
• Local multiplayer on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot

Known limits

• This APK has the original 2006 teams. 2026 rosters: build your own APK with Cricket07Builder.exe from the source zip, or add a roster data.gob as a mod.
• Works with the original PC release of the game; the app tells you if yours differs.
• Multiplayer between two real phones is still lightly tested.

Title: Cricket 07 now runs natively on Android: v1.2 adds mods, a new menu and multiplayer fixes

Body:

Hey all, I've been porting EA Sports Cricket 07 to Android. It isn't an emulator: the PC game's code is recompiled to run natively on the phone, with Vulkan graphics, so it runs well on mid-range phones (around 60 FPS on a Galaxy A17).

You need your own PC copy of the game. Install the APK, zip your installed Cricket 07 folder, copy it to the phone and pick it in the app. No PC build needed any more.

What's new in v1.2:

• Mods: load roster/kit/commentary mods (for example a 2026 data.gob) straight from the app and switch them on or off. Your original files are kept.
• New start screen in the game's own style, and a new icon
• Multiplayer fixes for playing over a phone's hotspot

Also in: widescreen, touch controls that change between batting/bowling/fielding, a classic controller layout, controller support, button opacity, and local multiplayer between two phones.

Thanks to everyone who's been testing and sending feedback, and to Terminator996 for the Termux roster method that led to mod support. Bug reports welcome on GitHub.

No game files are included and no APK is offered here. You build the APK yourself on Windows from your installed game.

How to use it

1. Install Python 3 and tick "Add python.exe to PATH".
2. Download Source code (zip) below and unzip it to a short folder with no spaces, such as C:\cricket07.

4. Pick your Cricket 07 folder and where to save the APK, then click Build APK.
5. Copy Cricket07.apk to your phone and open it to install.

The first build downloads about 4 GB of tools and takes about an hour. You need about 15 GB free on the PC and about 2.5 GB on the phone (64-bit Android 10 or later with Vulkan).

What's in it

• Separate buttons for moving the batsman, so you can choose a shot without walking across the crease (or use the joystick for both, in settings)
• Physical controller support
• 2026 teams (optional): national sides, English counties, IPL, PSL, Big Bash and CPL, with kits in the teams' colours
• Local multiplayer: two phones on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot, both running the same APK

Known limits

• Tested on a Samsung Galaxy A17, Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro and Redmi 9, with one version of the game.
• This release includes a graphics library update (wgpu v29) that fixes crashes on Mali-G52 phones such as the Redmi 9. It has only been played on the Redmi so far.
• Multiplayer hasn't yet been tested between two real phones.
• Many player stats are estimates. League teams replace some old teams and keep a template kit design.
• Team logos aren't included. You can add your own images: see the README.
