Husk

What's new? 3.4 is a compatibility release. About 97% of the 472 F-Droid apps we test now run, up from 85%. On the 169 Play Store apps we test, about 90% run, not counting apps with anti-tamper or fraud protection, which Husk doesn't try to bypass. All of these numbers are from testing on a Mac. More Android apps Microsoft Word opens (Excel and PowerPoint share its libraries) Slack, Gmail, Teams, Deezer, Flipboard and Picsart get past the crashes that stopped them More engines and frameworks start: React Native's new architecture, Qt 6 / QML, and apps using JavaScriptCore libGDX and other OpenGL apps draw again (3.3 broke these) Apps that keep secrets in Android's secure key store work better Apps with big bundled databases open UPnP and network discovery apps can start Apps that declare their launch screen in a split APK can start Looks better Rounded buttons are proper pills instead of ellipses Toolbars, window backgrounds and more color formats behave like they do on a phone Less "out of memory" Fewer OutOfMemoryError: pthreadcreate crashes on installs without extended address space Unity games use less address space on sideloaded installs, and keep their frame rate up New in Settings -> Performance: see whether Increased Memory Limit and Extended Address Space are on for your install Also Japanese, thanks to @Yuki-1018 Fixed Husk crashing when importing a .p12, or at launch with one saved on iOS 27 (#220) The Remove and Uninstall dialogs open next to their buttons on iPad (#218) Winlator's Settings page no longer crashes Husk builds with Xcode 27 and the iOS 27 SDK Known Issues Without JIT, Minecraft, some Flutter apps and some LÖVE games can fail. Use StikJIT for those for now Browsers (Firefox, Brave, Opera) don't run yet because they need separate helper processes Husk's Java runtime still has no garbage collector, so big apps can run out of memory in long sessions (#191) Touch doesn't work yet in Godot 3 games (#200) Apps with anti-tamper still won't run, and neither will apps that need Google Play services or a Google account Winlator containers don't run Full Android is still slow. Use the translation layer for games Thanks Thanks to @BartolomeoRusso9, @Dey410 and @Yuki-1018 for their pull requests, and to everyone who sent logs. Crash reports are what made this release possible ❤️ Links Website: https://itslevii.dev

Play without JIT More games convert and sign their libraries on the device. One library that cannot convert no longer stops the rest. Certificates from SideStore, AltStore, or a .p12 import more reliably, and converted libraries are signed again after this update. More Android apps Java apps pick up missing platform classes from AOSP when framework.jar is bundled. Jobs and boot receivers actually start, and Wi-Fi, location, and settings answer as a running phone would. Importing files The in-app file picker for Android apps can be used more than once in a session. 32-bit ARM apps APKs that only ship armeabi-v7a libraries are translated to arm64. This path is still incomplete (Minecraft PE is the current test case). Fixes Certificate import, leftover store passwords on a .p12, the file picker after the first pick, game pages on iOS 15, and StikDebug when Husk is inside a container app.

Fixed certificate importing bug for 3.2 JIT-less

What's new? Play without JIT: Most translation-layer games run with no debugger and no StikJIT. Turn it on in Settings -> Play without JIT. Import the certificate SideStore or AltStore installed Husk with, or a .p12 The first time you open a game, Husk converts its libraries. After that it starts like normal StikJIT is still there if you want it Games Unity 6 games get further (Flying Gorilla, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, and others) Games that ask for OpenGL ES 3.1 don't fall over on launch Unity games that load Firebase / extra plugins through UnityPlayer.loadLibrary start Minecraft's huge libraries load Python-for-Android games convert their bundled libraries too Games that try to JIT their own code (LuaJIT, PCRE2) fall back the way they do on a phone, instead of needing Husk's JIT Also Starting full Android makes you wait five seconds on the warning. It's still the emulator. Don't use it for games Compatibility reports wait if the site is down, then send Certificate passwords (including empty ones) actually work Lots of fixes under Play without JIT so Unity and C++ games don't die on the first exception Known Issues Some games still need JIT (ones that generate code at runtime, including a few with their own anti-tamper) Hollow Knight and Cuphead still have no sound Some games (Disco Elysium, Muse Dash) don't take touch input 32-bit only apps don't run The first convert of a big game can take a while and some disk Full Android is still slow and crashy. Use Play without JIT / the translation layer for games Final notes Thank you all for your repeated support over the past few weeks with Husk ❤️ .
