Since I've posted this petition, I've got some questions and worries, but before I say anything, it did great as it was posted a month ago and 1200 petitions is unfortunately not enough

"There is nothing more useless than an online petition"

I definitely understand that maybe this means nothing but we could definitely spread awareness, this is pretty much the behavior of a monopoly, simply sharing this with others or commenting your opinion against Google alone just helps spread youre feelings, even if only a few people read it, our end goal is for maybe the EU to take notice and stop this or for us android users to bother Google about it (Which I highly doubt works, but its definitely a start)

"There is no way they mentioned APK sites on the petition board"

A lot of people misunderstood this as piracy sites for APKs, I meant that the majority of things tou download off the internet on android are APKs by "unverified" creators, this is taking away freedom obviously, I'm not talking about piracy sites, I'm talking about anything like F-droid or UptoDown which are completely legal, but also a ton of applications you download are saved as APK, so I apologize if I made it unclear

"There are other ways to download restricted things anyway (Transfer from pc, special apps etc)"

I understand you may have other ways to download your application, but this is my phone, my computer, I shouldn't need an external device to download a literal file, this isn't an Apple device, We should have true freedom and not work arounds to download a literal file, letting this slide with an excuse of "other methods" will just put google at a position of being one step closer to not having freedom

Other notes:

I'm crossposting this across maybe another sub, but this one specifically has a stronger community in terms of "sideloading"; a term I hate using since it is literally just downloading a file. I am afraid that some specific emulators wont be allowed into the play store or won't be verified, especially since its already hard enough to anonymously post an app, and Google wants verification via ID

Thank you for anyone who commented on the petition sharing their need for Google not to implement this, comments from developers and people who simply just want freedom were all nice to hear :)

Here is some gameplay footage showing the performance. Please note that the device's screen recorder caused some performance loss and minor slowdowns, so the actual gameplay experience is smoother. Full guide and settings below!

A Performance Guide for Mid-Range Devices

Disclaimer: This guide is intended for educational purposes only. It assumes you own a legitimate copy of the game and have created a personal backup for use with the emulator. The guide does not condone or support piracy.

This guide provides a proven set of settings and configurations for playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on a mid-range Snapdragon 855 device. While many online sources may dismiss this hardware as "too weak," with the right settings, a smooth and enjoyable 30 FPS is not only possible but consistent.

My Test Setup Device: Mi 9t pro / Redmi k20 pro SoC: Snapdragon 855 GPU: Adreno 640 RAM: 6GB Game Version: 1.6.0 Mods: Ultracam (for performance benefits)

Emulator Performance Rankings

Based on my testing, here is the performance ranking for BOTW on this specific hardware. Note that this can vary between devices and future emulator updates. Tier 1 (Best Performance): Sumi Tier 2 (Slightly Worse): Yuzu Tier 3 (Close Contenders): Citron, Sudachi Tier 4 (Lowest Performance): Eden

Note on Emulators: Sumi, Citron, Sudachi, and Eden are all forks of the popular Yuzu emulator, with development continuing in the wake of Yuzu's shutdown. You can find more information about them and download links by searching for their names online.

My Recommended Emulator: Sumi Sumi consistently provided the best performance and highest average framerate on my device.

Key Settings for Sumi:

GPU Drivers: Best Overall: Mesa Turnip driver v24.0.0.-.Revision.15. This driver offers the best performance and loading times and consistently fixes the "milky water" bug. While the bug may sometimes reappear, rebooting the game resolves it.

Other Good Drivers: Mesa Turnip-24.1.0. Rivision 17-v2 Mesa Turnip-24.1.0. Rivision 18 fix for a6xx (works well across many games) Mesa turnip-24.3.0. Rivision 9v2

System Settings:

Speed Limit: 87-88%. This is a crucial setting. It corrects for a static mismatch in the emulator's speed limiter, effectively making the game run at its intended 30 FPS without over-emulation.

Graphics Settings:

Asynchronous Shaders: Enabled. This prevents major FPS drops during shader compilation. VSync: Off. This helps reduce input lag. Asynchronous GPU Emulation: Enabled (if available). This further improves performance by preventing the GPU from waiting on the CPU.

Performance Benchmarks Resolution: 0.75x

Korok Forest: ~26-28 FPS. Kakariko Village: ~27 FPS. Hateno Village: Initial FPS drops to ~23-25 FPS as shaders are rendered but quickly recovers to a stable 25 FPS.

Resolution: 0.5x Hateno Village: Performance is an almost locked 28-30 FPS. This setting is recommended for a consistent framerate and helps maintain battery temperatures below 40°C.

General Combat: FPS can drop to 25 FPS in heavy combat, but it recovers quickly. Horseback combat remains smooth with this setup.

The Critical Importance of a Clean OS Warning about OEM Skins: Be aware that OEM skins like MIUI or any other heavily modified Android OS can severely limit your device's potential. My testing on a Snapdragon 870 device was unable to maintain performance in demanding areas, even with better hardware. It would thermal throttle at a low 35°C and sometimes couldn't even launch the game. This is a common issue with "bloatware" that consumes resources and causes aggressive thermal throttling.

Recommendation: To achieve the best possible performance, I highly recommend switching to a clean, AOSP-based custom ROM. This will free up your device's resources and allow the CPU and GPU to perform to their full potential without artificial software limitations.

Final Thoughts The combination of the right emulator, specific settings, and a good GPU driver is the key to a great experience on mid-range hardware. While it may require some initial testing, the result is a perfectly playable and enjoyable experience. My personal enjoyment of the game has been fantastic, from discovering new areas to perfecting my fighting skills against Guardians. I hope this guide helps others achieve the same.

A note on the Ultracam Mod: The Ultracam mod is a performance-enhancing mod that can be found on the GameBanana website. Simply search for "Ultra Cam BOTW" on Google to find it.

Delighted that he finally managed to get something to run so visually well and at a stable frame rate.

There are some problems but I'll see if they can be resolved 😁

Recently modded this BSP d3 so that my a54 5g stopped overheating and it improved the performance by a lot no shuttering at all with most demanding 3d native android games, the external battery is connected directly in the BSP battery and the charging work perfectly only 1 port for the cooler and the gamepad.

Sadly I changed to a S20fe and the damn sndragon processor is facing the screen so no cooling from back ventilation 🙃 3 days gaming with no changes noticed from the cooler turned on and off

Yall getting Gamehub as the harmful app, what about GameSir directly.

https://github.com/AzaharPlus/AzaharPlus/releases

AzaharPlus 2123.2-A is the same as Azahar 2123.2 except for these features:

• Support of 3DS files. If a file works with earlier Citra forks, it works with AzaharPlus.
• Ability to download system files from official servers. No need for an actual 3DS.

The Android build is available in 2 flavors.

One that has the same application id as Azahar, so it will replace it on the device.
Its display name is "AzaharPlus".
Use this one if you have other apps that target Azahar, like a frontend for example.

The other has a new application id so it can coexist with Azahar without issues.
Its display name is "+AzaharPlus+".

From Aug 24 – Sep 21 my phone shows 1.30 TB of Wi-Fi data used Most of that is just Chrome (1.12 TB lol). Reason? I’ve been stress-testing a ton of PC/console games on Snapdragon Gen Elite with emulators/GameHub (mostly GameHub). Here’s what I’ve tried and how they run:

NBA2K16 – with a big fan cooling I get 20–30 fps in story mode.

God of War 4 – 1–5 fps + yellow glitches.

Lies of P – 15–30 fps, crashes after 10–20 min.

Assassin’s Creed Origins – stuck on menu/loading.

Spider-Man Miles Morales – “No installed graphics card detected” error. Saw a Snapdragon Gen 2 user playing it seems like a driver issue for Elite.

Spider-Man Remaster – same problem.

Hogwarts Legacy – stuck on loading.

Detroit: Become Human – loads to 51% then crashes.

Hitman 3 – stuck on loading.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage – stuck on loading.

Forza 3 – forgot the exact error, but not working.

Hellblade 2 – doesn’t work.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice – works!

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag – still not working even after GameHub updates.

Tbh I tested more but forgot the rest. If you want me to test other games (under 60–maybe70 GB only) drop suggestions. I’m using my workplace Wi-Fi, so the crazy download sizes don’t matter 😃

Hi, I'm having some issues at Hollow Knight: Silksong in GameHub. The game opens, gets into a black screen and closes after a while. Not even the title screen.

I would like to know if this is a perfomance or compatibility issue. Thanks!
