Thanks @paulogsamsung for reporting this. In general, there is no active development on GAPID, and we recommend to switch to AGI.

Now if you want to stick with GAPID, you might want to try the latest dev-release which may well fix your issue: https://github.com/google/gapid-dev-releases/releases/tag/v1.7.0-dev-20200211

If you still have issues with this, you can try to edit the vulkan samples source to prevent them from loading any validation layers. During a "report" replay, GAPID try and loads its own version of the validation layers, and there used to be shenanigans on handling the old multiple validation layers and/or the new unified one.

With the latest release the framebuffer tab does load. Thank you :)

Galaxy S20 5G is currently not supported by AGI, so I can't use AGI for this work.
