Step 1: Install Droid Deck. Droid Deck solves the problem of deploying a Steam Deck environment on Android—no root or flashing required.
Step 2: Boot up the Steam Deck.
Step 3: Install EVE. Add other account to the launcher. It is recommended to add the account only after the download is complete; otherwise, it may get stuck and trigger a re-download.
Requirements and install
Releases · Droid-Deck/DroidDeck · GitHub
Use Android 9 or newer on a supported Adreno device (730 or newer, or 8xx). Adreno 6xx is experimental: DirectX 11 uses DXVK 2 and may run, and DirectX 12 games can still crash. Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR, and Adreno 710 are unsupported. No root is required. Allow about 3 GB for the runtime and 1.1 GB more for the desktop and emulators. Install the APK from Releases, install the Linux runtime, then press Play and sign in. Steam downloads on first launch. Install Desktop & apps to use the desktop and emulators. The Store installs Linux apps and games from Flathub (ARM64 builds) with Flatpak; with additional options to install Appimages and set up scripts. Stores (Setup › Stores › “Show Stores in the rail”) signs in to GOG, Epic Games and Amazon Games, browses their catalogs and libraries, downloads games into the Games storage and adds each one to the Steam client as a non-Steam game, so it launches through Proton like everything else; the cog on its chip row sets which tab a store opens on and the download speed tier.
Before Steam launches, you must turn off Restrict child processes in Developer options. If this option is not available in developer settings (Android 12 and 13 devices), first launch of Steam will present a “Fix it for me” button, which will help automate the setup process.
