Three things were wrong with it, and they compounded. **The order was arbitrary** — orange, blue, pink, green, amber, violet, cyan, rose jumped back and forth across the wheel, so it looked like a bag of colours rather than a choice. It is sorted by hue now, one clean sweep, with the degrees in the source so it stays that way when a colour is swapped. That is also the order creation hands them out in, so someone making profiles one after another walks the spectrum. **The layout fought the form.** A fixed-size grid centred in the dialog floated free of the left-aligned labels above it; distributed across the full width the swatches stopped looking related to each other; and eight colours wrapped to a short second row that read as the grid running out. Each row now FILLS the width with its swatches sharing it equally, so the palette's edges line up with the name field's and both rows are the same length. The palette gained two hues to make that work: ten divides by five, eight didn't divide by anything useful. **Selection was a heavier circle.** A border drawn on the swatch's own edge reads as a thicker ring, not as "this one". It is a ring OUTSIDE the disc with a gap, plus a check — which also means the selection survives a reader who can't tell two of these hues apart. The ring's space is always reserved, so picking never nudges the grid.
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.
