Great! Telegram has put my username (@MuntashirAkon) at its auction page without a warning. So, if you receive any random requests for money or crypto from that username, know that it's because of how greedy Pavel Durov has become (or he was always like this?). When he announced this scamming platform, a record number of people disliked it and what he did afterwards is something you don't expect even from the Zuck himself: He disabled reactions on his page.

- Check whether Binder transaction is supported in root mode before initiating a connection
Certain superuser implementations did not enable communications through Binder (that, is binder transactions) from user applications. A check has been added to ensure that the currently used superuser supports such communications before attempting to create a remote service.
- Display inferred mode of operation in the crash logs
- Handle multiple users including work profile in no-root mode
Apps in the work profile can be opened in the App Details page. They can also be launched, uninstalled, and the corresponding settings page can also be opened in no-root mode.
- Fall back to ADB if root mode is not supported
If App Manager cannot connect using root, root itself is used to start ADB over TCP and connect to it. This is also useful for certain rooting solutions which do not support Binder transactions.
- Fall back to root mode while reading the APK file
Some applications erroneously provide private files that aren't accessible to any installer other than the system ones. Therefore, root mode is used to read those files if available.
- Handled the Internet permission in Graphene OS
- Removed dark theme hacks for the WebView in the help page
- Replaced SLF4J dependency with Android compatible classes
- Updated trackers and libraries
- Prevented a nasty crash used to occur when an activity is needed to be recreated
- [Profile page] Fixed crashes in the log viewer tab
- [Scanner page] Fixed a rare crash used to occur when the activity is accidentally closed

Funding App Manager, 2023
Background
All the projects I work on are hobby projects. However, with a growing number of users and requests since its release in May 2020, App Manager has become more than a hobby project. It currently has 219,000 lines of code (38,000 new lines since January 2022) and roughly 4,400 commits among which some 2,600 commits are my own. It is packed with so many features that one cannot count all of them, but at the same time, it is designed in such a way that most features are invisible to the users unless they look carefully. This design makes App Manager complex yet free from clutter. Most importantly, it offers a modern user interface based on latest technologies such as Material 3 and supports a wide range of devices (from Android Lollipop to Android 12) including Android tablets and TV. It also provides an extensive documentation (in a website and within the app) with support for a few languages. This is why, within the 2 years of its existence, it has been downloaded over 80,000 times (53,000 more since January 2022) from GitHub (in addition to how many times it has been downloaded from F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, or other unofficial channels) despite it being completely absent from the mainstream app stores such as Google Play Store, and no advertisements. Thanks to the translators, it has also been translated or is actively being translated into 33 languages.
With more users comes more responsibilities as the number of issues and feature requests is ever on the increase. Those who are following the project from the start know that there used to be a support group on Telegram which was discontinued, as it quickly grew to be unmanageable for me (it was re-continued but with more strict rules). Besides, with such a large codebase, more capable hardware are required to develop, emulate and test the application in various ways to ensure it functions properly. As I have mentioned in the README page in GitHub or the donation section elsewhere, App Manager does not support donation, it only supports funding. This is due to fact that short-term donations do not ensure the longevity of a project. With that in mind, I have since been looking for long-term funding by contacting institutes and foundations, but so far (and considering the fact that we’re living in a difficult situation due to COVID-19 and subsequent war), I have yet to secure any long-term funding, which is becoming increasingly necessary to sustain the project. So, I have decided to restart the funding campaign for App Manager. The purpose of the campaign is to ensure the longevity of the project by ensuring a fixed funding.
The campaign will last from 24 December 2022 to 30 March 2023 (roughly 3 months). This is different from the regular donations in the sense that I expect people to donate however much they can within this time frame. Since this campaign runs for 3 months, recurring donations are also possible for at least two months. Unlike the last campaign, the campaign will run on both Open Collective where you can contribute using PayPal, bank accounts, credit/debit cards or cryptocurrencies and Patreon. See the FAQ below for details.
Summary
Campaign duration: 24 December 2022 to 30 March 2023 (~3 months)
Target amount: $6,000
Campaign website: https://opencollective.com/app-manager
Available payment methods: PayPal, Bank accounts, credit/debit cards, cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC and many more)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I donate anonymously? Open Collective supports guest donations where you can use a temporary email in the email section.
2. Where will the funding be spent? The funding will be spent on buying new hardware, a domain, increasing my focus on open source projects in general by getting rid of other commitments, sending small gifts to the contributors and so on. Open Collective has an updates section where you will be able to see how the funding are being spent.
3. Would you accept recurring donations after the campaign? If the campaign goes well, I will accept any donations for App Manager. In any case, you can still donate me via my page on Open Collective.
4. I want to provide funding from my organisation. Can I contribute here? Yes, you can. However, if you are willing to contribute a large sum of money, you might want to contact me first.
5. Does App Manager support bounties? No. App Manager only accepts funding. Features are prioritised according to the developer’s current state of mind.
6. Why is Patreon added this time? A few people have suggested me to add Patreon as they were missing out due to the campaign being held only on Open Collective. However, Open Collective is still preferred over Patreon.
7. Is there any advantage of donating via Patreon? No. Donations do not unlock any features or any additional support, both are provided for free. On the contrary, we prefer that you donate using Open Collective.

Android Apps that I Frequently Use
Many of you often wonder what applications I use in a daily basis. As you might expect, I mostly use free and open source software (FOSS). While this is a highly opinionated topic, especially, to those who already use FOSS applications, here goes the list…

Rest assured, I’m not going to drop support for any of the supported versions of Android since I’ve already taken the trouble of recording hundreds of private APIs of Android framework to ensure compatibility across versions (and APIs in the older versions isn’t going anywhere, rather it’s the new ones that cause troubles). It’s just that I shall be posting a few similar polls now and then to understand the trend among users. Since we do not have any sort of analytics in the app, polls like this would help me setting up my priorities.

VirusTotal
A reminder for those who use VirusTotal API but faces quota issue: You can simply ask the VirusTotal team to increase your quota via their contact page. Although they’re a small team, they’re usually very helpful and quick to reply if the timezone is right. (It seems there might be a collaboration opportunity with VirusTotal. If it’s successful, an API key may no longer be required for typical usage in the future.)
[Those who're wondering, this message is NOT promoted by VirusTotal, it’s just that I’m tired of answering questions regarding VirusTotal (and please stop sending me E-Mails about VirusTotal issues).]
