fix(clients/pads): the phone mirror never needed the controller path's frame change
Reverts half of 1eab4b66 and closes G10's open frame question, both settled by the same
measurement.

1eab4b66 made two corrections to the Apple phone-gyro mirror. The negation was right and
stays: Apple reports the gravity VECTOR, pointing down, while an accelerometer measures
proper acceleration, pointing up at rest, and the wire carries the latter. The frame
change was wrong, and this removes it.

The mistake was a name collision. Two different frames are both called "the controller
frame". GCMotion reports a CONTROLLER in (Right, Forward, Up) — measured on a real
DualSense — which is not the wire's frame, which is why `GamepadCapture.forwardMotion`
converts. The mirror's orientation remap resolves THIS DEVICE into the frame its header
describes, x right, y up, z out of the screen. For the pose that mirror exists to serve —
a phone clipped upright with the screen facing the player — "out of the screen" points at
the player, so that frame is (Right, Up, Backward), which IS the wire's. It was already
correct. Applying the controller path's conversion on top rotated it out of true: a phone
sitting still would have reported gravity as −1 g on the roll axis rather than +1 g up,
i.e. claimed to be lying on its edge.

Reasoning by analogy is what produced it — "the mirror says controller frame, the capture
path says controller frame, so the same fix applies". Both files say it; they mean
different things.

What caught it was measuring the Android twin, which does the same thing straight through.
On glass: a DualSense on Bluetooth to a phone, streaming to a Linux host, reads +1 g on the
up axis end to end. Had the Apple mirror needed a conversion, the Android one would have
needed the same one and would have been visibly wrong. It is not.

The same run settles G10's frame, which shipped straight-through and explicitly unverified
because nobody had put a Bluetooth pad in front of the platform sensor framework. Now
somebody has. `PadSensors`' own first-sample log read `accel 0, 10000, 0` — exactly 1 g on
slot 1 — and at the far end hid-playstation published gravity as +0.991 g on ABS_Y, with
every rotation driving its correctly-named axis and the signs agreeing with gravity's
independent witness on 95 of 100 rotating samples. Android hands a controller's sensors
over in the pad's own frame, as documented. No remap, and the comment now says measured
instead of assumed.

Worth recording why the earlier suspicion was wrong, since it is the same trap in the other
direction: Android's DEVICE sensor frame really does put +z out of the screen, so a flat
phone puts gravity on z — but a CONTROLLER's sensors are reported in the controller's
frame, not the phone's. One platform, two conventions, chosen by what the sensor is
attached to.

Gate: Apple macOS `swift build` + full suite (215 tests, 5 skipped, 0 failures) and the
iOS-triple typecheck, which is what actually compiles `DeviceGyro.swift`; Android
`:kit:compileDebugKotlin`, `:kit:testDebugUnitTest`, `:app:compileDebugKotlin`. Green.

Still owed: `DeviceGyroRemap`'s four orientation matrices remain derived — this run used a
controller's own sensors, not the mirror, so it says nothing about them. They need a
gyro-less pad on wire index 0 and a phone turned through all four orientations.

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 AMediaCodec HEVC → 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".

Published to Google Play (Internal Testing) — join the beta via the Discord. Per-device setup and pairing: docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client.

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.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

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 1721, 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.
