Cubiq Launcher v1.1.1 - Critical Hotfix & Stability Update

Cubiq Launcher v1.1.1 🚀

Critical Hotfix & Stability Update

Cubiq Launcher v1.1.1 is an immediate hotfix update addressing two critical device-specific crashes reported following the v1.1.0 release, ensuring smooth gameplay across older Android versions and 32-bit ARM smartphones.

---

🛠️ Critical Hotfixes in v1.1.1

1. ⚡ Fixed \SurfaceView\ Thread-Affinity Crash (\CalledFromWrongThreadException):

   • Resolved a crash on startup affecting Android 8.0 / 8.1 devices (e.g., Vivo 1820) and systems enforcing strict ViewRootImpl thread checks when running with SurfaceView / LTW.
   • All surface dimension application (\surface.holder.setFixedSize) and window refresh sizing passes are now safely routed to the Android UI Main thread using \surface.post\ and \withContext(Dispatchers.Main).

2. 📱 Fixed 32-bit ARM Minecraft 26.x Crash (\Platform does not support native linker):

   • Resolved an immediate crash on 32-bit ARM devices (e.g., Redmi 8, Snapdragon 439, MediaTek Helio A22/G25/G35, \�rmeabi-v7a) when launching Minecraft 26.x on Java 25.
   • OpenJDK's Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API does not implement a native linker on 32-bit ARM. Cubiq now automatically retains LWJGL 3.3.3 (100% pure JNI) on 32-bit ARM architectures, avoiding the FFM downcall failure while allowing 64-bit devices to continue leveraging LWJGL 3.4.1.

🛠️ Engine, Graphics & Quality of Life Improvements

🎨 Modern Minecraft (26.x / 26.3) & LTW Gamma Fix

• Fixed Washed-Out / Bright White Gamma Overlay:
  • Eliminated the double sRGB gamma lift on modern versions (like Minecraft 26.3) running with LTW on Android. Textures, skies, and menus now render with vivid, rich colors.
  • Proxied \eglCreateWindowSurface\ with null attributes for LTW (matching MojoSDL on Android) and bypassed forced sRGB framebuffers.
• EGL Fallback Chain & RenderPearl Validation:
  • Completed EGL fallback chain and intercepted \glGetError\ for proper RenderPearl context validation.
  • Fixed graphics backend crashes on Minecraft 26.x.

🧠 Smart Per-Version Renderer Persistence

• Intelligent Defaults: Automatically selects LTW for Minecraft 26.3 and newer, and Krypton Wrapper (NGGL4ES) for versions below 26.3.
• Strict User Override Respect: If you manually choose a custom renderer for any version, Cubiq saves it directly to that profile and remembers it whenever you return to that version.

🕹️ Control & Mouse Enhancements

• Auto-Magnet Gap Spacing: Tightened button gaps on Mojo and Zalith 1 layouts to an exact 2dp auto-magnet gap (\gapPx = 2.dp).
• Dynamic Mouse Mode: Activating the on-screen mouse button in Mojo and Zalith 1 layouts automatically switches to Slide Mode (\MouseControlMode.SLIDE) for effortless cursor dragging.
• Control Editor Polish: Added pressed states for all buttons, new control drawables, fixed button size slider, and refined swipe touch look sensitivity.

☕ Runtime & Performance

• Full support for Java 25 and LWJGL 3.4.1.
• On-Demand JRE Downloader: Dynamically downloads required Java runtimes, keeping the base APK size compact (~80-95MB).
• Enhanced \TaskKeepAliveService\ to ensure rock-solid background game stability.
• Account deletion confirmation dialog to avoid accidental loss.
