Bannerlator 2.5.2

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

2.5.2 is the Community Configs release. It adds a way to browse community-shared, per-game / per-device tuning configs right inside the app and apply a known-good setup to your game in one tap — no more hunting through Discord screenshots or guessing which DXVK/driver/FEX combo someone used. It also ships two new Proton 11 x86-64 compatibility layers in the downloadable catalog. Like the last few releases this is an entirely app-side update — no ImageFS reinstall — your containers, themes, custom accent and per-game settings all carry over untouched. Just install over 2.5.1.

✨ What's New

🌐 Community Configs — new

A new globe button in the Games header opens a browsable catalog of community game-configs. Bannerlator matches your installed games to the catalog, and a "Matches my device" filter narrows it to configs shared from hardware like yours. Each shared config is its own card showing its ★ upvotes and ↓ downloads (best-rated first), the device it came from, and its date.

  • One-tap Apply. Tap a config → Apply to game, and Bannerlator surgically merges just that config's settings — DXVK / VKD3D / Turnip driver / FEX preset / renderer / resolution / launch args / environment variables — into your shortcut, preserving everything else you've set (BCn options, HUD, colour toggles and the rest stay untouched). You can even apply a config to a different game — it warns you first.
  • Smart install of what's missing. If a config needs a DXVK / VKD3D / FEXCore build or a Turnip GPU driver you don't have, install it inline right there — an exact match installs with one confirm, or you pick from the closest versions (or browse all) — and the config auto-applies once it lands, with a ✓. FEX date-stamped builds are matched by their YYMM monthly tag so a dated config resolves to the right build, and a component you already have is recognised instead of erroring.
  • Config detail page. Tap View details for a config's provenance (source device / SoC / app / date), exactly what it sets in Bannerlator's own component terms, and a preview of what would change on your shortcut before you apply. The detail page also shows the config's description, upvotes, downloads and comments live — and you can upvote and leave a comment yourself.

ℹ️ Community Configs is read-only for your setup — it only ever changes a shortcut when you tap Apply, and it never touches your containers, ImageFS or existing settings.

🍷 Two new Proton 11 x86-64 compatibility layers — new

Two Proton 11.0-1 (x86_64) compatibility layers are now downloadable in-app from the Compatibility Layers menu (Wine/Proton tab), packaged per Android version:

  • proton-11.0-1-x86_64-sdk28 — for Android 9-era devices (SDK 28)
  • proton-11.0-1-x86_64-sdk35 — for Android 15 (SDK 35)

Pick the one matching your Android version.

🙌 Powered by the community

Every config in this catalog was created by the community — real people who have used and supported BannerHub and BannerHub Lite and exported their working per-game setups, building up this shared cache over time. Community Configs simply brings that library into Bannerlator. A huge thank-you to everyone who contributed a config — this whole feature is built entirely on your work. 🙏

As of this release the community cache holds 9,965 configs across 2,121 games, of which Bannerlator matches 1,258 games into its in-app catalog — 92% of all uploaded configs covered — and it keeps growing as more people share.

🔜 Coming next — share your own configs

This release is the browse-and-apply half of Community Configs. The final phase is being worked on over the coming days: the ability to share your own configs — both locally and online — right from the same Community Configs menu added in this release. Once it lands you'll be able to contribute your working setups back to the community and help the catalog grow even faster.

📥 Downloads

Variant File
Standard Bannerlator-2.5.2-standard.apk
PUBG Bannerlator-2.5.2-pubg.apk
Ludashi Bannerlator-2.5.2-ludashi.apk

ℹ️ Updating in-app? 2.5.2 is entirely app-side — the standard APK covers everything. There's no ImageFS reinstall: your containers, themes, custom accent, per-game settings and control colours all carry over. The two new Proton 11 x86-64 layers are optional downloads from the Compatibility Layers menu.

🔗 Notes

  • Community Configs is backed by a first-party config service; browsing, applying, upvoting and commenting all happen through it. It's additive and opt-in — nothing about your existing containers or settings changes unless you apply a config.
