#unstable #alpha #release
App Manager v3.1.0-alpha03

New features
- Added an option to export app list in the batch operations
App list can be exported in either XML or Markdown format, making it easier to store or share. List exported in XML format may be also imported to App Manager in the future.
- Added notice for the funding campaign
- Fixed loading/storing URI grants (SAF) in Android 12 and later
- Fixed SSAID not working in Android 12 and later
- New filtering options in the Main page: apps using Android KeyStore, apps using SAF (Storage Access Framework), apps with SSAID.
- New sorting options in the Main page: data usage, launch count, screen time, last usage time
- Set an expiry date for each release
To ensure the safety of the users, App Manager is set to expire several months after it is published. A warning shall be issued for a certain period before the expiry date. After that, App Manager shall completely stop responding to any requests and prompt user to update or uninstall the application. However, for stable releases, it will still be possible to use the application but the warning shall be displayed every time the application is launched.

App Details page
- New tag: WX
WX tag is displayed in Android 10 and later if the application targets Android 9 or earlier. It indicates W^X violation which allows the app to execute arbitrary executable files either by the modification of executables embedded within the app or by downloading them from the Internet.
- Hide tips forever if close button is clicked
- Try vacuum-ing the databases before displaying the open with dialog
To improve speed, databases are often stored in multiple files. Therefore, simply opening the main database may not cover all the data in the database. By vacuum-ing the database, all the files are merged into a single database file, thereby, preventing any consistency issues.
- Used monospace font in SSAID fields
- Disabled launch buttons in the component tabs if the app is frozen
- Fixed links not working in Play App Signing dialog

Explorer page
- Added list options containing various sorting and folder options
- Allowed opening jar and dex files

Installer
- Prevented installer from running forever in no-root mode due to the mismanagement of installer queue

Interceptor
- Fixed crashing in Motorola devices

Main page
- Improve updating the list of applications
- Fixed searching issues in non-virtual keyboard
- Fixed crashing on clicking items in list options

Running Apps page
- Fixed /proc/$PID/stat parsing bug

Others
- Enabled searching in various selection dialogs
- Handle incomplete USB debugging
On certain devices, enabling USB debugging may not be enough to use ADB. In such cases, App Manager will report incomplete USB debugging along with a potential way to solve the issue.
- Fixed cropping the banner icon in Android TV
- Improved cache management in the app by periodically cleaning the obsolete files from the cache
- Removed the necessity of .tmp directory
- Replaced “Instructions” with “User Manual”
- Resolve OID names of the X509 certificates
- Fixed crashes by avoiding the deletion of channels of the ongoing notifications
- Fixed crashing if the resource string to be parsed is ill-formatted
- Fixed retrieving usage stats in no-root mode

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.

SetEdit v2.3

- New language: Tamil
- Support for Android 13
- Fix status and navigation bar colors

#unstable #beta #release
App Manager v3.1.0-beta01

- New language: Korean
- Improved Java to Smali conversion
Now all the Smali files related to the current file (inner classes, for example) are also converted into Java to make it easier to understand the code.
- [Batch Ops] Remove removed items from the selection list after a previous operation is finished.
- Avoid scanning nested classes to improve the performance of the scanner
- Disabled wireless debugging, not ADB over TCP in API < 30
- Fixed restoring backed up apps in no-root mode

Freeze/unfreeze
- Display a prompt instead of freezing directly
When “open after unfreezing” flag is enabled and the app isn't frozen, clicking on the freeze shortcut opens a dialog asking whether to freeze or open the app instead of performing a freeze.
- Display a warning in no-root mode on clicking a shortcut
- Fixed drawing over the transparent pixels of an app icon

Installer
- Enabled batch uninstaller in no-root mode
- Enabled installing an existing package without requiring a complete re-installation. Requires root/ADB
- [App Info tab] Added option to install an existing app in another profile
A new menu item, namely “Install for…” is added in the three-dots menu which allows a privileged user to quickly install the same app in another profile without performing a complete installation.
- Use PackageManager API instead of the pm command to uninstall updates of a system app
- Fixed installing app for all users when “all users” option is selected

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).]

#unstable #beta #release
App Manager v3.1.0-beta02

What's New
- Target Android 13
- Added monochrome icon for Android 13

App Info
- Improved the loading time of the App Info tab
At startup, App Manager attempts to invalidate backup data which can take more than half a minute if there are a lot of backups. Hence, during this period, if one tries to browse the app info tab, the whole tab will not be loaded as it is waiting for the previous process to complete. This issue is fixed by using the cached backup data stored in a previous attempt. This cached data is also validated to ensure that they actually exist.

App Ops
- Ensured forward-compatibility in app ops
App Manager now handles vendor-specific app ops, newly added app ops in the AOSP, etc. automatically to prevent random crashes.

Backup/restore
- Fixed restoring backups for other users
- Fixed scrolling issues in backup/restore dialog
- Prevented backing up the android package
This particular package is the heart of Android and shouldn't be backed up or restored.

Others
- Fixed issues with bottom sheet dialogs
- Fixed various theming issues
- Use /data/media instead of /storage/emulated for other users
In the newer versions of Android, /storage/emulated directories belonging to another user (say, a work profile) cannot be accessed even with root. However, /data/media is only accessible with root. Therefore, the later directory is used instead.
