Summary

Add explicit display orientation for Android Agent Mode, fixing landscape-only apps being letterboxed into a portrait managed display.

  • Persist Device default / Portrait / Landscape in Android Agent Mode settings; legacy settings retain existing geometry.
  • Create the virtual display and screenshot ImageReader using the selected dimensions, keeping preview state and normalized input consistent.
  • Recreate TextureView/listeners when the managed display geometry changes.
  • Tap the preview to reveal a fullscreen viewing button; the immersive viewer adapts to portrait/landscape bounds while preserving aspect ratio, with Back/Exit controls and only one active preview surface.
  • Allow agent_display start/launch to request a session-only orientation override; stop clears it. Validate arguments and discard overrides when display creation fails.
  • Expose the saved display_orientation through Agent Mode configuration tools.
  • Include localized English/Chinese labels, regression tests, manual hardware checklist, and an optional unsigned release APK Actions workflow.

Example:

{"action":"launch","target":"com.miniclip.plagueinc","orientation":"landscape"}

Changing the saved orientation stops the current display; the app must be relaunched. This does not change the main device display or Android system rotation settings. Device default intentionally preserves previous behavior; this PR does not automatically infer application orientation.

Scope

Android only: iOS does not provide the Android Agent Mode virtual display service. The shared settings model preserves the preference during serialization/import/export, without introducing an iOS UI for an unsupported capability.

Validation

Fork build workflow: https://github.com/SlightNekoQAQ/Aether/actions/workflows/build-agent-mode-apk.yml

Unsigned APKs are only suitable for environments that accept them; standard Android installations require an appropriate signing key. No signing credentials are required by this workflow.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Choose Device, Portrait, or Landscape as the default Agent Mode display orientation, or set an orientation for an individual display session.
    • View the Agent Mode preview fullscreen, with controls to exit fullscreen.
    • Settings export and import now include the saved display orientation.
  • Behavior Changes
    • Changing the saved orientation stops the current Agent Mode display. Relaunch the target app to use the new orientation.
    • A session-specific orientation applies until the display is stopped and does not change the saved preference.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Agent Mode now supports saved display orientation preferences and session-level overrides. Display dimensions and status reflect the selected orientation. The preview supports fullscreen viewing. A GitHub Actions workflow tests the modules and builds an unsigned release APK.

The agent_display tool accepts orientation overrides for start and launch. The controller creates displays with adjusted dimensions, tracks their orientation, and reports it in status. Tests cover orientation dimensions and tool options.
Fullscreen preview

The preview supports inline and fullscreen viewports with aspect-ratio fitting. Fullscreen state clears when the lifecycle receives ON_STOP.
Build workflow and validation

The workflow runs tests, builds an unsigned release APK, and uploads matching APKs as a 14-day artifact. The documentation lists hardware validation checks and APK details.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb660

Agent Mode status can show the saved orientation while a session override controls the next display. In a fullscreen preview handoff, the live preview may also occasionally detach. Both are bounded, but worth fixing before merge.

216-229: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No stale override is left by the current error paths.

The early argument errors occur before the override is assigned. Both supported actions call ensureDisplay(settings) before their later result paths. An exception from launchTarget enters the existing rollback handler, and a non-throwing error after display creation leaves the override consistent with the created display. A future branch is not an established failure path.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Normalize display_orientation before validation.

AgentModeController.execute trims and lowercases orientation. This path compares the raw value. A value such as "Landscape" or " landscape" is rejected here but accepted by agent_display. Apply .trim().lowercase(Locale.US) so both entrypoints follow one contract.

Proposed fix
-                    val value = patch.optString("display_orientation")
+                    val value = patch.optString("display_orientation").trim().lowercase(Locale.US)

🟠 Major · Serialize preview-surface handoffs. · AgentModeController.kt:539-550

app/src/main/java/com/zhousl/aether/data/AgentModeController.kt:539-550
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Serialize preview-surface handoffs.

The TextureView callbacks start attach and detach in separate viewModelScope.launch coroutines. During a handoff, the old detach can pass its identity check, then call detachPreviewSurface(displayId) after the new attach. The service detaches the current display surface without checking its identity, so this can remove the new live preview.

Serialize attach and detach operations, and bind detachment to the surface that acquired the service binding. A detach for the old surface must not clear or detach a newer surface.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report the pending session orientation after a display reset.

If the service disconnects after a landscape override, releaseDisplay() clears createdDisplayOrientation but retains displayOrientationOverride. statusResult() then reports the saved preference, while the next ensureDisplay() uses landscape. Include displayOrientationOverride before the saved-preference fallback.

Adapt #107 to the Accessibility-based Phone Use implementation. Keep saved orientation and session overrides scoped to optional Virtual Display mode, preserve preferences in settings archives, and fit inline/fullscreen previews to both display axes.

Thanks for this contribution, @SlightNekoQAQ! Agent Mode has since been replaced by Phone Use, which normally reads and operates the foreground screen through Android Accessibility. That path follows the real screen geometry, so the old managed-display orientation issue applies to the optional Virtual Display mode.

I adapted your display-orientation support and adaptive fullscreen preview to the current Phone Use implementation in f8fb04a. Device default / Portrait / Landscape are available when Virtual Display is enabled, and agent_display supports session-only orientation overrides for start/launch in that mode. Settings and data archives preserve the preference; foreground mode rejects the orientation parameter. The preview fits both axes and recreates its surface when display geometry changes.

You are credited in that commit with:

Co-authored-by: SlightNekoQAQ <318380344+SlightNekoQAQ@users.noreply.github.com>

Validation: all 478 Android/shared unit tests passed; Android and iOS builds passed and were installed on the connected devices with package/version checks. The Phone Use settings entry and Accessibility reconnection were checked on Android. Full Root/Shizuku virtual-display hardware validation remains outstanding because Shizuku was not running and adb shell Root access was denied on the connected device.

Closing this PR because its functionality has been adapted and committed on main, while the original patch targets the superseded Agent Mode implementation. Thank you!
