Bannerlator

Bannerlator 1.8

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

✨ What's New

📲 In-app updater

Bannerlator can now update itself. A new Updates section in Settings (plus an Update now action in the About dialog and an app-wide banner) checks for new releases, downloads the right APK for your build, and installs it — no more hunting for the latest APK by hand.

  • Picks the correct flavor automatically (Standard / PUBG / Ludashi).
  • Optional "Include pre-releases" toggle to ride the beta channel and get -preN builds early.
  • Offline-safe: the last check is cached, and you can skip a version or turn notifications off.

ℹ️ This is the first stable to carry the updater baseline. Installs from 1.8 onward will self-update; older builds won't see the in-app prompt because they predate the feature.

🎮 GameHub-style performance HUD

A brand-new, fully-featured performance HUD joins the classic FPS overlay as a second selectable overlay — with Classic / Neon / Mono skins, an FPS graph, and detailed metrics (FPS, CPU/GPU usage, RAM, temperature, power draw, engine & GPU model).

  • Per-container configuration with full control over fields, colors, outline, scale and opacity.
  • Live-swap between the GameHub and classic overlays mid-game — no relaunch needed.
  • Every toggle is mirrored in the in-game side drawer, so you can tweak it on the fly.

🖥️ Setup-screen branding fix

The first-launch setup screen no longer shows the old upstream "Star Bionic" name or a stale version — it now shows the correct app name and current version per flavor.

🔄 Updater correctness fix

Fixed how the updater chooses the newest release: it now sorts by publish date rather than trusting GitHub's list order, so a freshly-cut stable can no longer shadow a newer pre-release on the beta channel.
