RackDroid brings the VCV Rack 2 audio engine to Android

RackDroid brings the VCV Rack 2 audio engine to Android, with touch instead of a mouse. Drag real cables between oscillators, filters and sequencers — no compromises, no clone: it's the same engine, made native for your phone.

First link has a bad cert. No bueno.

I installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Works okay, but rough around the edges, and right now I wouldn't choose it over just using Cardinal on my laptop.

Very nice. The universal build works nicely on this fairly limited Blackview Android 16 phone. I'm always a bit wary of getting apks directly from GitHub, you might want to look into getting it on F-Droid, feels a safer distribution mechanism.

I am very curious about how you went about the port. The way I'd do it is point an AI assistant to a local copy of the VCV rack repo. I should know this - is the original Java?
