Warning

Development is currently on hold while I wait for an official response from The Indie Stone regarding potential sponsorship. Just to clarify — TIS is not blocking or interfering with development in any way. I'm simply waiting to hear back, as I don’t have the resources to continue without financial support.

Zomdroid

Zomdroid is a launcher for Project Zomboid on mobile Android devices.

Note

This application is not developed by The Indie Stone and is not affiliated with them in any way.

Features

• Supports Project Zomboid Build 41 (tested on 41.78.16) and Build 42 (up to 42.7, versions 42.8 and later are not supported)
• Supports Lua mods
• Currently single-player only

System requirements

• Android 11
• 3GB of free RAM (usually achievable on devices with at least 5-6GB of total RAM)
• 10-15 GB of free internal storage for downloading and installing the game

Roadmap

Planned features in order of priority:

1. Expand GPU and device compatibility
2. Optimize and improve performance
3. Add external input support (mouse and keyboard, physical controller)
4. Add multiplayer support

Prebuilt binaries and JARs

Prebuilt binaries and JARs are located in the app/src/main/assets/dependencies folder,
except for Box64 and GLFW, which are built alongside the Zomdroid APK.

All Zomdroid dependencies—except Box64 and GLFW—can be either:

• Built from the zomdroid-dependencies repository
  (Mesa, LWJGL, Assimp, JNIWrapper, GL4ES, zomdroid-agent), or
• Downloaded from official sources (FMOD, standard GNU/Linux libraries, JRE from PojavLauncherTeam, SQLite JDBC)

Supporting Development

This is an independent project. To help keep it going, financial contributions are welcome via Ko-Fi.
