Turn "Forward controllers" off and four rows below it stop meaning anything — nothing is forwarded, so there is no pad type to pick and no guide button to route. GTK desensitised them, the touch settings on both mobile clients dimmed them and the console UI refused the step; the Windows client and BOTH controller-navigable screens left them fully live, so you could sit there changing settings that did nothing. Windows: `.enabled(s.gamepad_forwarding)` on the forwarded-controller picker, pad type, guide button and hold-Select rows — the same builder the echo-cancellation row already used to follow the mic switch. Apple's gamepad settings had no way to say it: `Row` carried `adjustable` (which only hides the chevrons) and nothing else. Added `Row.enabled`, dimmed the row CONTENTS only so the glass still reads as a focusable row, and enforced the inertness centrally in `adjust(id:)` / `activate(id:)` rather than in each builder's closure. The hint bar drops "Adjust"/"Change" on a dimmed row, because advertising them was the same lie the live row told. Android's gamepad settings already had `GpRow.enabled` — documented as "dimmed + inert" — but it only faded the label: every dimmed row still stepped and still wrote its setting. The "No profiles yet" placeholder looked inert only because its own closures were empty. Made it real in one named place (`liveRow`), covering all three input paths (left/right, A, and a tap on the already-focused row), then gated the pad rows on it. Also on that screen: the DualSense / DualShock passthrough toggle, which the touch settings have carried beside its SC2 twin all along. It was missing exactly where it matters most — a TV box has no touch interface to fall back to, so there was no way to reach it at all. Apple capture, separately: with forwarding off, opening a slot still claimed EVERY element's system gesture and powered the controller's IMU. Neither reaches the host, so the first only took the user's screenshot/Home gestures away for nothing and the second drained the pad's battery streaming gyro over Bluetooth. Narrowed rather than skipped — the escape chord is read off the same slot and on tvOS is the ONLY controller way out of a stream, so the chord's own four buttons keep their claim. A test pins the alias list against the chord mask; if they drift the symptom is a session nobody can leave, with nothing logged. Closes R17, R18, R19 (design/haptics-sweep-2026-08-03.md M11). R17 as filed named Windows and "Apple"; Apple's TOUCH settings were already correct and Android's controller-navigable screen was not — both corrected here. Verified: Windows clippy -D warnings exit 0 on a real Windows box; Apple swift build clean + full suite 192 tests / 0 failures (3 new); Android :app: + :kit: green (5 new); cargo fmt --all --check clean. Each fix probed by reverting it — every probe failed the tests it should.
punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)
The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).
Features
- Hardware decode — NDK
AMediaCodecHEVC →SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD. - Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
- Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
- Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
- Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.
Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the
app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with
Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

How it's built — Rust-heavy
Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We
write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux
client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state
machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Build & run
Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0,
build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 17–21, not
a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and
cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM
2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).
Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task
builds the .so as part of the normal build.
CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)" # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup: emulator -avd pf_phone | emulator -avd pf_tv
The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
