Follow-up to "Update with a newer APK…": Linux apps take their new AppImage/archive or folder (a file or a folder
picker, like the app was added), PC VR games their new game folder. pipeline.replace_linux_app / replace_rift_game
re-run the add path (add_linux_app(replace=) / add_rift_game(replace=)): the entry keeps its package (so the Steam
shortcut), name, artwork, tags, switches and the user's recipe; a folder keeps the program chosen before if it's still
there, else FramePort picks again (and asks, for ambiguous PC VR games). A name that looks like another app's is
allowed with a heads-up.
The entry gets a new source_id, recorded in the deployment's recipe at install (no agent change):
components.source_replaced shows the Frame copy (and a PC install, pc_outdated) as outdated until then. Such an
install also re-sends same-size files changed after the last install (installer.changed_since), since uploads
otherwise skip files the Frame has with the same size. The old PC VR folder is left out of later scans
(replaced_dirs). CLI: frameport new-version <game> <path> (APKs too). Docs: INSTALL.md.
A Frame that only authorizes the user's own key refused OpenSSH, which
offered FramePort's keys alone (IdentitiesOnly), so every upload fell back
to Paramiko. The connection now records which login worked (Frame.auth):
after a login with this PC's own keys/agent OpenSSH also offers private
copies of ~/.ssh/id_* (OpenSSH skips its defaults once -i is given) and the
agent; a refused strict login is retried that way once. FramePort doesn't
add its key to the Frame for this.
New: Settings > Installing > SSH keys (library ssh.extra_keys, CLI
frameport frame ssh-keys): extra private key files for the connection and
OpenSSH, checked with Paramiko (passphrase keys: use the agent). OpenSSH
runs with -v and a refused login's error lists the keys offered and its
warnings. whoami's SID is read from bytes (non-ASCII user names).
Checked with Windows ssh.exe/sftp.exe against the Frame.
Deadly Delivery 1.0.30 renders (72 fps), then its lobby's Meta entitlement check
fails four times and it quits. The oculus-entitlement signature is PC VR only,
so the Quest log had no finding. New Quest signature meta-entitlement (error:
offline games may log it and play on; an online game's exit fails the test).
FramePort doesn't get around entitlement checks. docs/GAMES.md regenerated
(it was also behind on other catalog entries).
Doom3Quest-based ports (PreyVR, #306) draw their menu on a curved
cylinder layer submitted once per eye. The Frame's runtime has no
cylinder layers, so FrameBridge shows each as ~7 flat quad strips; a
per-eye pair is ~14 quad layers in one frame, which the runtime rejects
whole (xrEndFrame -> XR_ERROR_LAYER_INVALID, -16). The menu then stays
black while the game runs at 72 fps.
Collapse the pair: drop the right-eye cylinder and show the left eye's
strips to both eyes (the runtime composites a quad to both eyes anyway).
That halves the layer count and drops the per-eye eyeVisibility, and the
runtime accepts the frame. Only frames with per-eye cylinders change --
exactly the ones that were being rejected; mono (BOTH) cylinder games
such as 4XVR are untouched.
Verified on the dev Frame (headless): PreyVR v1.2.4 rebuilt + installed,
the menu frame now submits (one transient -16 on the first frame before
the space is locatable, then clean), 72 fps. Visual confirmation of the
menu needs the headset. Triage signature cylinder-menu-layers-rejected.
No adapter revision bump (installed games are not marked outdated).
Headset-confirmed working configs shared through the issue form:
Tea For God (#295), Ghost Town (#299), Eye of the Temple (#302),
Ocean Rift (#304), Quantum Void (#307), AugmentedEmpire (#311),
Battlemarked (#312), Demeo (#313), Homeworld: Vast Reaches (#314),
Moss (#315), Maestro (#316), Mini Motor Racing X (#317),
Operation Wolf Returns (#318), Ragnarock (#319), Smash Drums (#320),
Vendetta Forever (#321).
Quantum Void, Homeworld: Vast Reaches and Ragnarock go in as status: issues.
Turns on frame.unreal_skip_obb_delivery (and keeps frame.hw_video_decode) so
the fix applies without the user finding the toggle. Not device-verified (the
game is ~41 GB); status unknown, min_app 1.1.2 so only builds that recognise
the obfuscated DownloaderActivity get it.
Medal of Honor (com.Virtuos.R6DLM) keeps Epic's DownloaderActivity and log text but renames the delivery predicates
and OBBData, so expansionFilesDelivered wasn't found and frame.unreal_skip_obb_delivery was never offered. Detection
now also matches a boolean method in the package's DownloaderActivity, called from onCreate, that carries Epic's
"Checking for file : " log and calls the expansion-downloader helpers; the patch rewrites those too. ANALYSIS_VERSION
18 -> 19. Heuristics eval unchanged (10/66); no existing recipe affected.
The GLES-only stand-in left Vulkan games (UNDERDOGS: VkFormat 43, faces=6) with the runtime's refusal, so OVRPlugin
crashed in ovrp_EndFrame4. When there's no GLES context, the adapter now makes a cube-compatible VkImage (6 layers,
the requested format/size/mips, usage from the XR flags) with the app's device/queue and a private transient pool,
transitions it to COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL, and enumerates it as a Vulkan image; its cube layers are still dropped.
GLES behaviour is unchanged. Adapter rebuilt deterministically (both ABIs).
After "Waiting for app", a failure line or 20 s without a logcat line start FramePort's own reader, from the
launcher's start (logcat -T <epoch>) when the mirror never wrote, else from just before its last line. The reader
restarts from where it ended, stops when Lepton's lines come back, the container's log buffer is 16 MiB, and every
decision goes to logcat-keeper.log.
Merged main (agent 90, ANALYSIS_VERSION 17/18 after main's 15/16) and rebuilt the bridge, foveation and a32
libraries from source (deterministic, no local paths).
Fixes on top:
- a32 loader: apply DT_ANDROID_RELR relocations (Journey of the Gods crashed at start)
- VrApi bridge: vrapi_Get/SetTrackingTransform (floor-level tracking; Shadow Point's player was below the floor)
- a32: never submit an untracked default head pose (hold up to 100 ms, repair or drop); pose consistency per display
time; submit/tracking counters
- VrApi bridge: wait again when xrWaitFrame gives a display time in the refresh just submitted (the runtime rejected
the second frame with AlreadySubmitted; Journey of the Gods ran at ~120 fps on a 90 Hz display and the scene slid
and snapped back); pacing counters
- VrApi bridge: GLES re-entry polls events before reusing the kept session (a lost or exiting session is replaced, a
stopped one waits for READY)
- VrApi bridge: STAGE is the runtime's STAGE space (play-area centre and orientation, unchanged by recentering);
LOCAL_FLOOR keeps the head-based origin
- signer certificate: pick the certificate the SignerInfo names, not the first in the PKCS#7 block
- flat 32-bit apps keep the bridge (it isn't a VR-only fix)
- Frida gadget loads are stripped before translation
- launcher restart test fixed; native/.cache is no longer committed
- catalog: Shadow Point and Journey of the Gods work (headset, 2026-10-14; min_app 1.1.2)
- Check the Steam shortcut on every update, also when nothing else changed: a connection lost during
"Add to Steam" or Steam putting its old shortcuts.vdf back left games without a library entry. The
agent restarts Steam only when the entry really changes.
- Artwork updates for installs without a recorded artwork manifest start from a clean folder again
(an old portrait.jpg next to a new portrait.png was picked at random for the Steam grid).
- OpenSSH uploads only rename .part files that are already complete (sftp's reput refuses them, which
sent every resume to the Paramiko fallback).
- frame.tbxr_vendor revision 2: GL4ES ports get "Update on Frame" for the #191 draw fix.
- Configuration-only updates send the library's current Steam tags.
- finalize drops fingerprints and the artwork record an older app didn't send.
- set_settings: malformed numbers are refused before anything is written; int settings keep a
fractional value.
- Display diagnostics use Windows PowerShell 5.1 without pwsh's PSModulePath; window diagnostics and
the instance owner file can't stop the GUI from starting.
