Hi community, we need your help! Blender is known to work on certain latest high-end Android tablets. We are investigating how much effort is needed to support earlier tablets and mid-class tablets. We are currently lacking detailed information what these devices support in terms of extensions/properties/features. How to help If you have an Android tablet with Android 13 it would help if you can install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.saschawillems.vulkancapsviewer and upload ...

In the official devtalk forum, core developer Jeoren Bakker asked Android users to support Blender’s Android port with a playstore app (no Fdroid that I found) named ‘Vulkan Caps Viewer’.

I believe Lemmy to be specially of interest due to the possibly higher percentage of more niche phones.

How to:

  1. Install the app
  2. Check the top to find a green text ‘Device already present in database’
  3. If it says so, there’s nothing to be done, you can uninstall the app. No need for you to do steps 4, 5 nor 6
  4. Otherwise, I believe it is needed for you to upload the GPU compatibility with the top leftmost button (I did not have the option so I’m not sure) (also I see people also sharing a link to their specs, so not sure)
  5. Then, after that sign up / log in to the devtalk forum and publish a comment stating your phone brand and model, and if given, the link with the info
  6. Then you can uninstall the app

If I got any of the steps wrong, please do correct me.
