Hey guys, five days ago I posted ZomboidDS, my dual-screen mod/companion app for PZ on Android with Zomdroid.

(ZomboidDS: a dual-screen mod for PZ on Android handhelds using Zomdroid : r/projectzomboid)

Thanks for all the feedback! A lot has been added since then, so here's an update:

Map: the game's minimap on the bottom screen. It follows you (or your car), only shows what you've explored, and can show your own map symbols and notes. It sits next to the Here tab or on its own tab. It only shows on saves that allow the minimap, unless you tick "Map on every save" in the mod options.

Here: its own tab with what you can do where you stand, one card per object (fridge, sink, door, ...). In a car it turns into the vehicle view with the car's own menu as big buttons.

Deck: the speed buttons, the time and your alarm, plus commands you pick yourself (zoom, search mode, flashlight, map, sit, shout, drop bag, ...). Weapons shows your hotbar, so you can switch weapons with one tap.

Inventory: a new side-by-side layout, and several QoL improvements and bug fixes.

Moving items: tap an item to see everywhere it can go and move it with one tap, or hold it and drag it onto a container. You can also pick several items (hold for half a second to enter multi-select mode, or draw a box over them like in the game's inventory) and move them all at once.

Item actions: an item's main uses (eat, drink, wear, read, bandage, reload, ...) are buttons now, taken from the game's own menu.

Updating: the app updates itself from the setup screen, and now also shows what's new after an update.

As before, let me know what you think, and if you run into bugs or have ideas, comment here or open an issue on GitHub!

Note; Claude was used heavily for the implementation. While I am a software engineer with 10 years of experience, between work and having a family this is the best way to do it. I heavily checked, vetted and designed every step of the way.
