P.T. Android Beta 2 — experimental ARM64 update

Version: 1.0.7-android-beta.2

Install this signed update over P.T. Android Beta to keep your imported files,
settings and progress. The application ID remains org.ignusloki.pt.beta; the older
local prototype keeps its separate files and profile. No original game assets are
included in the APK.

Changes

  • Recover Android's rendering surface when returning from another app, retaining
    the running game state instead of leaving a black screen.
  • Add phone vibration through the touch controller, using the game's authored
    rumble and the existing Vibration setting. Feedback stops when backgrounded.
  • Fix graphics presets getting stuck on Custom and requesting unavailable ray
    tracing. Android presets use the available effects and original textures.
  • Add saved subtitle sizes from 100% to 200%, with a 150% Android default, improved
    glyph edges and wrapping for enlarged subtitles.
  • Let the launcher follow portrait/landscape orientation, keep controls clear of
    system bars, and remember touch-control, microphone and subtitle-size choices.
  • Show the actual Android render resolution in PC Settings. Display mode and
    resolution are managed by Android; the S22 renders at 960×443.

Requirements and testing scope

The requirements remain Android 10 / API 29, ARM64, and Vulkan 1.3 with
the required features, resource limits and BC1/BC3 texture support. Vulkan 1.1
support has not been added. Other phones, including Snapdragon variants, remain
unverified.

The final signed APK was tested on an Exynos Galaxy S22 SM-S901B/DS, Xclipse 920, Android 16: three other-app/Back cycles, Home/Recents return, and a 30-second background interval all restored rendering in the same game process. The exported diagnostic records five successful surface recoveries without warnings or errors.
Start with Low, original textures and the 30 fps cap. The render width remains
960 pixels, preserving the phone's aspect ratio, with a 1,024-pixel uploaded-mip
limit. These checks do not establish sustained performance or complete-game
compatibility.

Phone vibration and the final-puzzle timing need tester feedback. A phone actuator
adapts the controller's motor signals; vibration strength and feel vary by device.
Android may terminate a background game process under memory pressure, requiring
normal startup from the saved profile. Microphone recognition can take several
seconds. Fresh import, physical controllers and wider lifecycle/device coverage
still need regression testing.

Use Save diagnostic log in the launcher when reporting issues. Include phone
model, Android version, scene/loop, settings and reproduction steps. Review logs
before sharing, and keep the original package and game archives out of reports.

Build assets: PT-1.0.7-android-beta.2-arm64.apk, BUILD.json, SHA256SUMS, and the
patched LibOrbisPkg source archive required by its license. Developer details are
in docs/devlog-android-beta-2.md on the Android branch.
