NoBrain Linux 0.1.5

This release packages runtime checkpoint Build 185. It advances the public
version to 0.1.5 and the Android versionCode to 13.

Highlights

  • Screen Scaling now starts from the intended 96-DPI baseline at 100%. Lower
    percentages increase Linux UI zoom without changing the DWM baseline.
  • The Android host exposes its camera and microphone to the Linux guest. The
    camera pipeline uses bounded queues and publishes a PipeWire source for the
    standalone camera and WebRTC consumers.
  • Camera2 sensor/display orientation is handled in the Android I420 bridge.
    Sony's 270-degree front sensor is delivered as a portrait 480x640 stream.
  • The standalone camera UI is English and horizontally mirrors only the selfie
    preview. Photos, recordings, PipeWire, and WebRTC remain unmirrored.
  • Android 10 shared storage is mounted at /sdcard, with ~/sdcard provided as
    a stable Linux shortcut.
  • Fresh-install and update paths retain package-manager, SSH, WPS, timezone,
    input, clipboard, and session-persistence repairs from Builds 180-184.

Device validation

The final 0.1.5 APK was fresh-installed and validated on a Sony SOV37 running
Android 10. Its installed SHA-256 matches the release asset, the runtime reached
Desktop ready, and recent Android logs contained no fatal exception, ANR,
fatal signal, or phantom-process kill. Validation passed:

  • full xbps-install -Suy system update;
  • WPS Office installation and launch;
  • password SSH, passwordless sudo, and su audit;
  • screen-off resume, rotation, and Android/Linux clipboard exchange;
  • document creation and a 20-minute retained WPS session;
  • two-way Android shared-storage access;
  • portrait camera preview, PNG photo, and WebM video capture.
  • a direct four-second microphone capture with nonzero audio data;
  • GCC, G++, Python SSL, Git, and CMake smoke tests.

The compact rootfs still has package-database integrity debt. A full
xbps-pkgdb -a audit reports mostly intentionally omitted documentation and
locales, but also broken utility and development symlinks. Core workflows above
pass; clean rootfs reconstruction remains follow-up work and the release is not
claimed byte-for-byte reproducible from public source alone.

The public repository intentionally excludes the signed APK, signing key,
compressed rootfs, media overlay, and compiled ARM64 compatibility libraries.
Those binary inputs and the transitional ZIP-swap assembly limitations are
documented in BUILDING.md and LICENSING.md.
