Separate repository · not a desktop build
Lichii on Android
The Windows, Linux, and macOS releases do not include an APK. A separate repository, pavelgajdo/Lichii-Android, adapts the Lichii and Eglantine code for Android. The author calls that work highly experimental. This page links the repository. It does not mirror an APK.
What the repository and the store listing say
The current repository says GPL-3.0; the historical store label said Proprietary. The inaccessible store page does not establish its current license label. If you redistribute the port, read the license in the repository you cloned, not the store badge alone.
GitHub android-0.2.0 publishes app-mainline-release.apk: 29,983,793 bytes, SHA-256 01c88e3b9f1b34eec0927031c712f64b014b26878dd69e2421cfb8b3cd6b497b. This is one publisher source, checked 7 Nov 2026 at 05:22 UTC; it is not a desktop asset.

What players reported
Comments on the announcement mention about 1 fps and about 3 fps, a black screen after a cutscene on a Snapdragon 8 Elite with Adreno 830 and 12 GB, and black screens in Ocarina of Time, Fire Emblem, and Hyrule Warriors. Those are comments, not a catalog. The port also does not include keys, firmware, or games.
I would not install a random APK from a chat. If you want the port, start at the GitHub repository and read its releases. Earlier research recorded the Uptodown listing and a conflicting license badge. It is not my recommended download button.
FAQ
Is there an official Android build of desktop Lichii?
No APK is attached to the desktop releases. The Android work is a separate repository.
Why do the licenses disagree?
The repository says GPL-3.0. Earlier research recorded Proprietary on Uptodown; the listing returned 404 during review, so that remains a historical observation.
Will it run on a phone with less than 12 GB?
The author named 12 GB or more as the target. I have no systematic result below that.
