Quest APK Renamer 1.3.0 beta 1
Version 1.3 adds an optional older-firmware compatibility patch requested in
issue #9 and
cleans up the project's version numbering.
Older firmware compatibility
- Open Options & tools after choosing a game.
- Older firmware compatibility becomes available only when the APK already
containslib/arm64-v8a/libovrplatformloader.so. - The setting is optional and off by default.
- When enabled, the app replaces that loader during the normal rebuild and
signing process. - The bundled replacement is pinned to a specific Event Horizon revision and
verified by SHA-256 before and after copying. RENAME-REPORT.txt,RENAME-REPORT.json, andRENAMED-BUNDLE.txtrecord
whether the patch was applied. The JSON report includes the original hash,
replacement hash, and upstream revision.
This patch can help compatible apps start on older Quest firmware. It cannot
provide APIs or system features that are absent from the installed firmware.
Issue forms and versioning
- Feature requests no longer ask for an app version.
- Feature requests include an All operating-system option.
- The project now follows the intended 1.0 → 1.1 → 1.2 → 1.3 sequence. Older
GitHub downloads keep their original filenames and tags so their embedded
versions and published checksums remain truthful.
Downloads
- Windows Setup EXE — recommended per-user Windows installation.
- Windows portable ZIP — unpack and run without installation.
- Apple Silicon DMG — for M1 and newer Macs.
- Intel DMG — for Intel-based Macs.
- Linux x86_64 archive — includes a per-user
install.sh.
GitHub displays a copyable SHA-256 digest beside every download.
Every package includes ADB, Apktool, Uber APK Signer, native folder selection,
the pinned compatibility loader, and a trimmed Java runtime.
Beta notes
- Linux is the primary hands-on development platform.
- Windows has partial hands-on testing; its tests and packaging run on GitHub
Actions. - macOS packaging is automated but still needs broader Apple Silicon and Intel
launch testing. - Windows packages are not code-signed, so SmartScreen may report an unknown
publisher. - macOS uses ad-hoc signing unless Developer ID and notarization credentials
are configured, so Gatekeeper may require Open Anyway. - This project was made 100% with AI assistance. Expect bugs, keep backups, and
use the app only with software you own or are authorized to modify.
