Android controller update for the OpenEnroth Android Handheld Controller fork.

This release uses the exact ARM64 and Universal APK artefacts produced successfully by Android Release APKs run 33319677476 from runtime commit e226929.

Changes since v1.0.0
Gamepad bindings are now separated by active screen context on Android, preventing one physical button from triggering unrelated actions from another UI state.
Y now performs Jump during normal gameplay without simultaneously opening Inventory.
Context-specific face-button reuse is retained for character, menu and other UI screens.
In the in-game menu, A opens the visible Controls/Options entry rather than activating New Game.
New Game remains available through the touchscreen. This avoids the unsafe controller path where the normal confirmation prompt could be bypassed.
Gameplay A remains the normal Interact/Event Trigger action.
All v1.0.0 controller, touchscreen-inspection and Android text-input improvements are retained.

OpenEnroth-Android-ARM64.apk — Recommended for modern Android handhelds

Smaller ARM64-only package. Use this for the Anbernic RG405M and other ARM64 Android retro handhelds.

OpenEnroth-Android-Universal.apk — Maximum compatibility

Larger package intended for broader Android CPU compatibility.

Installation

OpenEnroth does not include the copyrighted Might and Magic VII game data. A legitimate copy of the original game is still required.

Testing status

The earlier controller, touchscreen-inspection and Android text-input features have been tested successfully on an Anbernic RG405M.

The new context-separation change has passed both ARM64 and Universal Android CI builds and is being published for device verification before further controller changes.

Other SDL-compatible Android handhelds and Bluetooth/USB controllers are expected to work but have not all been individually verified.

This is a community fork release and is not an official upstream OpenEnroth release.
