Set it up once, in a few minutes, and it looks after itself from then on, even after a restart. No computer needed.\n\nNormally, switching a phone to Vulkan means plugging it into a computer and typing commands, and doing that again every time the phone restarts, because a restart puts everything back. Burkan does the same job from inside the phone, by itself.\n\n<b>What it does</b>\n\n* Turns Vulkan back on after every restart, as soon as the phone is on Wi-Fi. You do not need to open it.\n* Shows you whether Vulkan is active, and for which parts of the phone. If it cannot check, it says why in plain words.\n* Apply now switches to Vulkan on the spot. Restart all apps also reopens your apps so they pick it up. You can choose apps that should never be restarted.\n* Shows each step while it works, and keeps a log of the last 50 runs.\n* Comes in two looks: One UI, after Samsung's own apps, and Material. Both have a light and a dark theme.\n\n<b>What you need</b>\n\n* A Galaxy S23, S23+ or S23 Ultra. Burkan opens on other phones with a warning, but it is not tested there.\n* Android 13 or newer.\n* Wi-Fi. Burkan works through the phone's own wireless debugging, which Android only allows on a Wi-Fi network.\n\n<b>Good to know</b>\n\n* No root, no computer and no other apps are needed.\n* Burkan only talks to your own phone. It does not go online and collects nothing.\n* If anything looks odd, restart the phone and it is back to normal. Samsung and Google do not officially support forcing Vulkan.\n","categories":["System"]}
