Pressing guide/Steam/QAM collided with the client device's own shell: iOS 26 opens its Game Overlay for the Home press (no app opt-out until iOS 27 makes it a user setting), and a Gaming-Mode client opened BOTH Steam overlays for one press — the local one covering the stream. Two cross-client tier-P settings, zero wire changes: - system_buttons (auto|forward|local): raw guide+misc1 passthrough. Auto forwards everywhere EXCEPT under gamescope, where SteamOS reacts to the same physical press no matter what. - guide_gesture (auto|on|off): hold Select ALONE ~350ms sends the HOST's guide, down until release — held on, that's the host's long-press, which opens a Gaming-Mode host's QAM for regular pads. A Select tap is delivered on release with its up TAP_PRESS (50ms) behind, because per-transition sends fold into seq'd GamepadState snapshots and a back-to-back pair can coalesce into no press at all. A Select inside a combo (the escape chord) passes through untouched. Auto arms it only where the raw press can't reach the host cleanly: gamescope, iOS/iPadOS, tvOS. The same SelectGesture rules live in pf-client-core (pure state machine + unit tests), the Apple client (mask-diff adaptation in GamepadCapture), and Android's GamepadRouter. Settings rows on every surface (GTK, WinUI, console UI, Decky, Apple x2, Android x2) with profile plumbing throughout. punktfunk-session grows a control socket ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR[/app/$FLATPAK_ID]/punktfunk-session-ctl.sock — the one runtime path a flatpak and the host see identically): 'guide'/'qam' verbs inject synthetic taps. The Decky panel gains a Host menus section (visible while the client runs) whose buttons press the host's Steam/QAM and close the local menu so the host's shows through. iOS 27's GCControllerHomeButtonSettingsManager deep-link is a TODO (the class needs the Xcode 27 SDK to compile). Docs: input, client-settings, steam-deck. Design: punktfunk-planning design/system-buttons-routing.md.

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.
