Improved loading performance
Fixed setting mode for some app ops
In the app ops tab, the toggle button as well as the long click options attempts to alter the associated permission too if it exists. To bypass this behaviour, use “Set custom app op” from the three-dots menu instead.

App Info tab

Added an option to create a new profile in the “Add to profile” dialog
Improved performance by loading UI contents in the background
Hide data usage for other users
Data usage section is hidden if the following conditions are true:
1. OS is Android 6.0 onwards
2. The app does not belong to the current user, and
3. Self or remote UID is not system UID.
Fixed displaying wrong information regarding blocked trackers
Prevented the app from crashing on attempting to enable battery optimisation of restricted apps
Battery optimisation cannot be enabled for system restricted apps.

Debloater

Display a loader in details dialog to avoid freezing issues

Editor

Check if the file is writable during “Save and exit”
Prevented erroneous display of “Read only” warning for files that support writing

File Manager

Display “Loading...” as the subtitle instead of showing previous folder info
Display only the filename in the “Open with…” dialog
Display progress for batch rename, delete and paste operations
Improved listing files in a directory, especially Storage Access Framework (SAF)
Fixed displaying search bar in the “Open with…” dialog
Fixed retrieving files if a folder contains thousands of files
Prevented looping indefinitely when an inaccessible file is a symbolic link

Installer

Fixed installing APK files queued in the background
Fixed installing some signed APK files
Some signed APKs could not be installed due size mismatch.

Interceptor

Added a few intent filters related to camera

Profile page

Added an option to copy profile ID
Display exit confirmation dialog if there are unsaved changes
Display previously selected apps on top of the app list
Display warning before deleting a profile
Avoid creating duplicate profiles by auto-renaming the newly-created profile
Fixed displaying backup options in configurations tab

Profiles page

Added an option to copy profile ID
Use profile ID instead of profile name for identifying each profile
In profile version 1, there's no difference between profile name and profile ID. But from profile version 2, a new field id shall be introduced which will be decoupled profile name from its ID, making it possible to use any name for profile or rename it. If you use automation, make sure to use profile ID instead of profile name.
Auto-select the configured profile state in “Apply profile” dialog
Handled applying multiple profiles using a queue
Moved shortcut handling logic to a different activity
To avoid opening existing tasks from Recents, shortcuts are handled in a separate task.
Optimised updating new or modified profile information

Running Apps page

Fixed listing processes when some PIDs no longer exist

Security

Check for zip-slip vulnerability before creating a folder or a symbolic link
Disabled access to content:// in WebView
Sanitize user inputs, intents when it involves files and filenames
Use formatted string for logging to prevent log injections

Settings

Fixed navigating one step back after a device configuration is changed

UI Tracker

Added the ability to drag the icon when iconified
Added the ability to drag the window outside the visible display
Used 60% transparent window

Usage

Fixed retrieving mobile data usage in Android 12 and earlier

Others

Enabled fast scrolling in the user manual page
Use definite mode of operation
When the mode of operation is set to auto, App Manager will attempt to find the best mode and set it as the current mode instead of “Auto” in order to improve the startup time as well as allow stable access of service via upcoming App Manager SDK.
Use marquee texts in suggestions/dropdown menu
Use wakelocks in long-running tasks to keep the CPU awake
Fixed retrieving list of packages in some devices
Fixed uploading APK files to VirusTotal
Made setting UID/GID optional while extracting a tar archive
Prevented the app from crashing due to forceDexOpt failing in Android 12
In Android 12, forceDexOpt always fails due to a bug in the Android framework. As a workaround, the optimisation is done via performDexOptMode imitating whatever forceDexOpt does.
