Setup: Gaming on Android

  • A portable heavy-gaming setup for Android; streaming your gaming PC by using Apollo and Artemis

  • This is GAMING focused not mining; an alternative Steam Deck

  • Similar to Setup: VN on PC it streams from PC to Android, but smoother compared to Steam Link

    • Tested in 1440p/120fps max settings Cyberpunk 2077 and other lower spec games

  • Based on this video

    • I used Artemis instead of Moonlight

  • (Recommmended Gamepad) GameSir G8 Plus

    • Bluetooth, Rumble, Gyro, Hall-effect, back pedal, hotswappable
    • Not to be confused with the Type-C non-plus version(no rumble/gyro)

  • (Budget Gamepad) GameSir X5 Lite

    Android Controller

Configuration

Android

  • On Artemis Settings:

    • Video Resolution > Native (non full-screen)
    • Video frame rate > 120fps (if your device can handle it)
    • Video bitrate(?) > 50Mbps (Tested on 1440p/120fps Max settings Cyberpunk busy area)
      • You can lower it to 25~40Mbps if you are using 30/60fps and lower resolution
    • Enable multi-touch gestures (for pop-up keyboard)

  • (Optional) If you have a notch and want your screen to be centered

    • In your Android settings(Xiaomi) > notification and status bar > Notch in individual apps > Artemis > Always Show Notch
    • Look for a similar settings depending on your phone brand

PC

  1. Start menu > search apollo > Open Apollo

  2. Setup profile > login

  3. Pin > PIN Pairing > pair your phone and pc > connect

  4. Pin > Device Management > select paired device > always create virtual display > save

    • This is where you also confirm if Controller Input is detected (pair your controller to your android first)
    • Virtual Controller is also supported when you are already streaming on your android under options

  5. Configuration > audio/video > advanced display device options > Deactivate other displays and activate only the specified display > save

    • This will turn off your monitor while you're connected to your android device (Important for auto virtual display)
    • To apply changes: Troubleshooting > Restart Apollo (if no prompt)

  6. (OPTIONAL) On Android device, you can wake your PC from Sleep/Hibernate through Artemis; Wake on LAN:

    • On your Windows PC, Device Manager > Network Adapter > Realtek(or whatever you are using as internet) > Properties > Advance > Wake on Magic Packet > Enable
    • On your BIOS, look for wake up event settings > wake by PCI-E > Enable

How to use

  1. On your Android Device > Open Artemis > Select your PC > Desktop

    • Then pick your game, including non-steam games
    • For keyboard gesture, 4 fingers tap at the same time (Spread through your screen, not together)

  2. Make sure to select Quit Session or Exit the app properly so your PC monitor goes back to life

  3. Enjoy? lol
