Getting Steam games to play/work on a Googlebook today. Had to add some updates so far to GameNativeX64 to support 32bit emulation when the kernel doesn't ship with support, and a couple other things.
Working nicely so far though

Next addon in the works for Bass builds: Linux Session management

Think of it like a visual cron job type scheduler for the Linux side. Auto-start services on boot, manage them, etc. Even comes with an Inspector for live status readouts.

XR Launcher 0.1.34

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:34:53 +0000

Spatial workspace launcher for Android XR glasses, tablets, and large-screen hosts — with the phone as a companion touchpad.

Tag: v0.1.34 · versionCode: 35 · minSdk: 34

This build lands companion multitouch, tray/QS polish, Recents world-lock, wallpaper/HDRI options, and clearer host look modes on tablet.

Highlights:

Companion touchpad
Apps icon toggles All Apps on glasses (replaces the wide Close All Apps button)
2-finger drag scrolls under the glasses cursor; pinch zooms the Home Space sphere
3-finger drag pans look; 2-finger tap right-clicks
Toolbar icons use high-contrast tints on the dark chrome
Tray / notifications / QS
Deduped quick-settings chrome; brightness slider no longer trapped by a parent clickable
Mouse-look can scrub brightness and a notification scroll handle
Per-notification X dismiss hits for FPS / companion pointer

Don't think I've shared anything about this yet in here. So, this is what I've been busy working on for the next version of Waydroid-Linux.
Fully reproducible builds using Debian by default this round.
So more or less, I am making AOSP build handle pulling and packaging a lightweight Debian rootfs/initrd, kernel, firmware, etc. and then build the Android images, then pack it all into an ISO with an installer UI.
