<changelog>
+ <release
+ type="beta release"
+ version="v4.0.0-beta02"
+ code="437"
+ date="13 November 2024">
+ <note subtext="true">
+ Private messages should be emailed to am4android@riseup.net. Emails sent to any other
+ email addresses shall be discarded.
+ </note>
+ <new>Added full support for Android 14-r29 and later</new>
+
+ <title>App Details page</title>
+ <new title="App Info">Added a new tag: Sensors disabled</new>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ System may misreport this permission. The best way to check if sensors are indeed
+ disabled is by opening the app first and then visiting the App Info tab leaving the
+ other app running in the background.
+ </note>
+ <new title="App Info">Added option to enable/disable sensors</new>
+ <improve title="App Info">Display detailed installer info</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ An info button is added next to the installer which displays the installer, the actual
+ installer (AKA initiator), and the APK source (originator). Clicking on each item opens
+ the corresponding App Details page. It also fixed displaying the installer app in
+ certain devices.
+ </note>
+ <fix title="App Info">Use the configured naming format when sharing an APK(S)</fix>
+ <improve>Display blocking method in the components tabs</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ IFW+Dis = The component is blocked using both IFW and disable[br /]
+ IFW = The component is blocked using IFW[br /]
+ Dis = The component is disabled.
+ </note>
+ <improve>Hide “Data usage” for apps without the internet permission</improve>
+ <fix>Disabled “IFW” and “IFW+Disable” in the providers tab</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ In Rules settings, the description for “Default blocking method” was also updated with a
+ note that says IFW feature does not work with providers, “disable” is used for them
+ instead.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed applying IFW method in the components tabs</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ Fixed applying IFW rules if the previous rules were “IFW+Disable” or “Disable”.
+ </note>
+
+ <title>App Usage page</title>
+ <improve>Improve the usage time calculation method</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ The usage events returned by the [tt]UsageStatsManager[/tt] were assumed to be in order
+ of their timestamp which does not seem to be true and resulted in missing a few events
+ due to the standard calculation method, that is, calculating the time difference between
+ activity resume and pause timestamps. In addition, it appears that the system may log
+ activity stop timestamp without logging any pause timestamp (a typical activity cycle
+ would be resume → pause → stop → resume → …) causing further miss of events. These
+ issues were addressed by sorting the events in order of their timestamp as well as
+ measure the time difference between resume and stop timestamps instead of resume and
+ pause timestamps.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed the “times opened” value</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ In order to calculate a more reliable number of times an app was opened, the time
+ difference between each activity opening and closing are now relaxed. So, when the user
+ navigates to another activity from an activity belonging to the same app and the time
+ difference is less than 500 ms, the time difference is added to the total usage time.
+ This calculation is technically more precise than the system's own open count because
+ certain navigation involves the use of system UI (e.g., the arrow in the gesture
+ navigation is emitted from the System UI app and should be considered as such) which are
+ ignored. However, the issues with choosing 500 ms (half of a second) time difference are
+ as follows:[br /]
+ 1. Due to an user waiting a long time to trigger the back gesture or simply bad coding,
+ an app may take more than this time to open an activity which will cause them to be
+ listed as two accesses.[br /]
+ 2. Some apps support multiple windows. If the user opens another activity in a new
+ window shortly after opening the first activity, the two accesses may be counted as one
+ instead of two.[br /]
+ These events are considered extraordinary and can be negligible in a real-life setting.
+ </note>
+
+ <title>Backup/restore</title>
+ <improve>Improved handling custom users in backups</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ - Properly handle backup/restore for a single app. “Custom users” in the backup options
+ is displayed only if the app is installed for multiple users. Similarly, cross-user
+ restore is supported via the “Custom users” option. In addition, fixed issues causing
+ the backup or restore to be performed for the wrong users.[br /]
+ - Unless the “Custom users” option is selected, backup or restore is made only for the
+ current user in the batch selection mode. Others retain the old behaviour. For example,
+ in the batch selection mode, restore is only made with the “base” backup which is
+ defined to be the primary backup for the current user. So, if “Custom users” option is
+ selected for restore operation, App Manager will try to find the base backup of each
+ selected user and restore those for that user.[br /][br /]
+ These behaviours are applied throughout the app to reduce complexity and remove
+ any ambiguous behaviour.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed creating custom backups</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ When custom backups are enabled but the backup name is empty, create a custom backup
+ with the current date and time instead of creating a base backup.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed the “cache” “no cache” confusion in the backup flags selection dialog</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ The “No cache” flag was replaced by the “cache” flag, but the translations still use the
+ former. So, the string ID is altered to invalidate the translations.
+ </note>
+
+ <title>DexOpt</title>
+ <improve>Set default compiler filter from the [tt]pm.dexopt.install[/tt] property</improve>
+ <fix>Fixed applying force dexopt in Android 14</fix>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ These fixes may not work for every device. A novel approach is needed to reduce the
+ complexity as well as put an end to the cat-and-mouse game.
+ </note>
+
+ <title>File Manager</title>
+ <fix>Fixed remembering scroll position during navigation</fix>
+
+ <title>Installer</title>
+ <improve>Accelerate the installation process in Android 12 onwards when possible</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ If an app is being installed in the foreground, App Manager will try to accelerate the
+ installation process by delaying various post-installation tasks carried out by the
+ system services.
+ </note>
+ <improve>
+ Properly handle the originating URI extra supplied by third-party apps via
+ [tt]Intent.EXTRA_ORIGINATING_URI[/tt]
+ </improve>
+ <improve>Set originating package in Android 7 onwards</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ The originating package is automatically determined from the Intent sent from the
+ third-party apps. However, the determination logic may not always work, but it was
+ ensured that there will not be any false positives, e.g., no spoofing can be done by a
+ third-party app.
+ </note>
+ <improve>
+ Set package source to [tt]PACKAGE_SOURCE_OTHER[/tt] by default in Android 13 onwards
+ </improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ This is done to prevent the system from applying various accessibility restrictions to
+ the app. However, [tt]PACKAGE_SOURCE_STORE[/tt] is set by default if the originating
+ package is one of the supported app stores. At present, the supported app stores are:
+ Aurora Store, Droid-ify, F-Droid, F-Droid Basic, F-Droid Classic and Neo Store. It is up
+ to the developers to ensure that they send the APK installation requests in a proper
+ way, i.e., by utilizing features such as [tt]startActivityForResult[/tt] whenever
+ possible.
+ </note>
+
+ <title>Interceptor</title>
+ <improve>Intercept SAF, dialer, gallery, search, music player, and WhatsApp URLs</improve>
+
+ <title>Main page</title>
+ <new title="Batch Ops">Added option to export app list as CSV and JSON</new>
+ <improve>Display restore dialog for uninstalled apps with backups</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ Instead of displaying “App not installed” toast for the uninstalled apps with backups,
+ open the restore dialog instead when clicking on such an item in the Main page.
+ </note>
+ <fix>
+ Fixed retrieving applications when there are too many applications installed on the
+ device
+ </fix>
+
+ <title>Profiles page</title>
+ <improve>Display app op names instead of number in the profiles page</improve>
+
+ <title>Settings page</title>
+ <new>Added support for pure black theme</new>
+ <improve>Added a fallback server runner command from DE storage</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ Added a fallback server runner command in case SD card is inaccessible from the UID from
+ which the script is being run. This leverages the device encrypted storage (data_de) by
+ making certain folder and files globally accessible.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed displaying custom commands in the mode of ops page</fix>
+ <fix>Fixed the title for the Mode of Ops settings page</fix>
+
+ <title>UI Tracker</title>
+ <improve>Display current activity name when possible</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ In addition to displaying the class name and its hierarchies, the window will display
+ the activity name if there's is an activity (not all windows are activities). This
+ requires the usage stats permission which is enforced here even if it's disabled in the
+ settings. This is because this feature is meant to be used as a useful tool separated
+ from the rest of the app, but with some level of integration.
+ </note>
+ <fix>Fixed freezing issues in certain devices (e.g., Samsung)</fix>
+
+ <title>Others</title>
+ <improve>Allow opening an application in Android TV as well as for other users</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ This feature does not work in the installation completion dialog or notification.
+ </note>
+ <improve>Allow the remote server to run under any privileged UID</improve>
+ <improve>Made notification permission optional</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">
+ Although denying notification permission will render many features useless, it is made
+ optional for those who insists on denying it. However, the permission shall still be
+ asked everytime the app is launched until it times out.
+ </note>
+ <improve>Updated documentation to reflect latest changes</improve>
+ <note subtext="true">In addition, Oxygen OS specific ADB instructions were added.</note>
+
+ <fix>Fixed changing permissions in Android 14-r50 and later</fix>
+ <fix>Fixed deleting the cached application after the installation attempt fails</fix>
+ <fix>Fixed delivering changes made via batch operations</fix>
+ <fix>Fixed issues with executing automated tasks from the third-party applications</fix>
+ <fix>Fixed suspending packages in Android 14-r29 onwards</fix>
+ <fix>Hide Code Editor if it's disabled in settings</fix>
