It's a terrible feature.
I installed on the Amazon Fire TV and it crashes whenever I clicked cloud save.
Is it a SDL bug?

Yes it's a bug. Un-check the 'Save to network' button, it should stop crashing.
I'll try to fix it if I get an Amazon tablet.

Did anyone notice window border ornament in Android version? I am kind of worried, it's been half-year already, and no one has complained about this. Did I pick too muted color for it?
I noticed the window edges were different. But I switched phones exactly at the time that you made this update, so I attributed it to the different phone ;)

Also, the cloud save feature works? Or was that just to get the SDL stuff to work?

When you save your game with 'Save to network' enabled, you can click 'Load from network' on a different phone, and load your savegame.
Also works if you uninstall OpenTTD or factory reset your phone.
That's all it does.

No. Select network-save.sav and click the button 'Find missing content online' to re-download missing NewGRFs.

Android version of OpenTTD will not work on Windows PC. Try to use Windows version from here: https://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable

Android version has a lot of modifications on top of the original sources.
Original sources: https://www.openttd.org/
Android sources: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl ... k/OpenTTD/

And yes, it's that src.tar.xz package that you have downloaded earlier. You will need Linux or MacOs to compile Android version, it cannot be done on Windows because of symlinks in the archive.

The android ottd ui is excellent.
Do you have SDL ottd for Linux or some other os?

To build touch version of OpenTTD for Ubuntu:

1. sudo apt-get build-dep openttd
2. Download the -src.tar.xz archive from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl ... k/OpenTTD/
3. tar xvf OpenTTD-*-src.tar.xz
4. cd project/jni/application/openttd/src
5. ./configure
6. make -j8

Delete your ~/.openttd/openttd.cfg to enable various touch interface options.

Fantastic!
I don't have to be confused with the SMALL buttons of OpenTTD anymore.

I try to port JGR Pack for android, and I got information from OpenTTD Wiki("Apply Patch from Linux"). But when I started to use svn from project/jni/application/src/src, after I patch successfully and run build.sh on root folder, it stuck at waiting for unfinished works..... I think its problem is that source in src folder is not modified for android, what shell I do in that time? And is there any one who can modify normal OpenTTD source for Android?
