Wait until the newer version of D-Touch comes out.

Most of the new mods that are out now use ZScript, which either makes it impossible or difficult to downgrade to the earlier D-Touch versions, which did not support it.

It's the same support hiatus as Zandronum. Either the mod has to be (re?)made for those versions, or they just won't work period. Sorry.

You can learn more about D-Touch's continued development at this Doomworld thread: What the heck happened to Doom Touch/D Touch??

Wait, I had found out that there exists some kind of gzdoom for android.

Here, take a look at it. Looks like it is based on newer build than doom-touch.

I'm afraid you're out of luck until one of these Android developers rebases to a newer GZDoom, or your Android device receives an OS update. If you're using a phone/tablet older than a couple of years, you're probably screwed.

So, you expect developer to support some older android version that could lack some features? Lucky you. Just upgrade your android tablet.

you cant just upgrade your android and get a better version of an app.. the app has to be update itself.

Depending on the mod, you might could change some code to make it work. For example, I've seen mods that would work just fine on super old versions if it weren't for anonymous functions. Remove the code block of the anonymous function and re-write it without it and it might work... that is of course if the mod isn't full-on ZScript or something really new. This of course might break the intended way of an actor to behave, for example.
