The host APK and Kanto Gear must be used together. Kanto Gear works without Dramatic Shape. If you already use or want Dramatic Shape with Kanto Gear on Android, use the matching Voxel fork above; it contains the companion-screen battle HUD fixes needed to avoid empty gray or translucent panels on the main display.
What changed
- Categorized battle bags such as Useful Bag now update their pocket title and item list immediately. Header arrows expose controller and touch pocket switching; ordinary bags keep their normal layout.
- Long or narrow local maps retain a useful player-centred zoom instead of shrinking to fit their longest dimension.
- The battery header shows a lightning symbol while the Android device is charging. The existing low-battery warning remains unchanged.
- The title screen now gives the blinking
START GAME ABOVEcue the same Game Boy-style rhythm as the original prompt. - Swapped-screen touch input now uses Gen1Recomp's official pointer hook. Display routing and the Retroid Pocket 5 compatibility path are otherwise unchanged.
Tested
- The exact release source passed all 33/33 Kanto Gear compatibility checks and the no-ROM-data lint.
- On an AYN Thor running Android 13, Useful Bag 2.4.1 was tested by changing pockets with controller and touch, then using both a Poké Ball and a potion. Back navigation also passed.
- With Useful Bag disabled, the unmodified battle bag path was re-tested and remained normal.
- Charging status, thin-map zoom, the title prompt and live screen swap were verified on the same source chain before the final version-only promotion.
Updating from 1.5.0
Replace Kanto Gear with Kanto-Gear-Mod-1.6.0.zip and install the clean 0.1.75-kanto.6 host over the existing Android Test app. The optional Voxel fork remains 1.7.0-android.1.
This remains an unofficial Android public test release. Keep an exported save backup. No ROM, ROM-extracted asset or game data is included.
