You can find osu! in your file picker at /sdcard/Android/data/xyz.jvyden.retrogecko/files. I recommend using ADB to put a bunch of songs in at first since I don't have file import working yet (other than osu!direct)

Example: Code:


just got my skin into that folder, thank you!!

If it's an x86-based emulator, then no it won't work for the time being, I'm only shipping arm64 binaries.

Running some tests with different devices and it seems like Android 13 and up is what you can run this client on, anything lower results in the app crashing or just refusing to run. This heavily limits the amount of devices that can run the Android version.

A few things I've noticed while messing around with the Android port;

- The editor needs some work, everything is off-centered and I'm assuming this is going to be fixed on a later date.


- The editor does not allow you to select "Song Setup" since it's another pop-up window, assuming this would be extremely hard to replicate in the Android version? This also includes the other helpful tools at the top that are missing.

- The data folder you listed may not exist for some users; and may have to either be rooted or use another file manager like https://apkpure.com/file-manager/com.alphainventor.filemanager/download/.

- Pressing exit will sometimes result in an error, and if it does close, the app doesn't automatically close itself so it's still running in the background.

- Switching apps while a song is playing will have it still playing in the background, I think it would be nice if there was an autopause function.

thats because you have selected vulkan for renderer
you can go to the cfg directory and remove vulkan from renderer string

it's an x86_64 issue, this APK is only meant for ARMv8-a, this emulator can run it but it needs to be specifically set at ARM/ARM64 in Bluestacks.

It can run it fine when it's set correctly and not using a translation layer.

some things in android release needs to be changed, like:
- make back button to behave like esc button (i cant cancel button hotkey bind, i should press back button to leave button configuration)
- move game files directory to home android directory (where downloads, documents, etc. folders exists)
- disable editor for now, users without keyboard can't properly map, and editor is unusable without imgui

Well, the Editor is going to be uhhh…, uhhhh, uhhhmmm… w.. why are you trying to map on mobile? ?_?

ImGui being missing is a known problem though and will be fixed.


It's very unlikely that I can do anything about this. You'll have to explain more, what devices are you seeing this on?


This isn't helpful on its own, I need to see these errors. Also ensure this is still happening after b1044.


I'll have a fix by next release.

Good catch, thanks.

May I ask why?

Although I agree the Editor is pretty useless on mobile I'm not going to just disable it. It can still provide some utility, e.g. just looking at a map for practice reasons.

- I'm seeing the error on the S20/S22/Pixel devices.

- I'll have to get a screenshot of the error when it happens again, it is on the latest release.

As for those who are wanting to know if their phone supports it; here is a list of devices I've personally tested with. And yes, the Android version matters. If you see your phone here, but are getting crashes and or the app does not load, you're likely not on Android 13+.

- Samsung Galaxy S20 FE on Android 13.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 on Android 13.
- Samsung Galaxy S24 on Android 13.
- Google Pixel 9 on Android 14.
- Xiaomi 15 on Android 15.
- Amazon Fire HD 10 on Android 13. (Modified, theoretically *not* supported out of the box.)

Please be patient, next release should fix Android <13. It's due to an oversight I made while implementing back button handling.

Android 12 and older is supported, but is currently bugged.

b1062 is out, with some much needed fixes for Android!

This release fixes a bunch of things, hopefully including support for Android versions below 12! Arm32/Android Go support is still pending some work, which I wanted to get to today but I ran out of energy. Sorry :s
