The 3.x branch is a full rewrite using modern technologies like Jetpack Compose, Flow and WorkManager.

What's new

v3.8.0Sep 9, 2026

The application remembers where it installed what
The system field «installer» cannot answer this question — and it’s our application that spoils it: a regular installation is written by the APKUpdater installer, mode «Installer — Play Store» signs everything with the name Google Play, and half of the sources (ApkMirror, ApkPure, GitHub, GitLab) — sites that are not installers leave no trace at all.
Therefore, we now keep our own record: every successful installation saves the package, source, version and date. Three places you can see:
On update and search cards — «They were placed from here» at the source that was selected last time, and «Last time: ...» at the remaining cards of the same application.
On the «Applications» tab, the store chip is taken from this entry, and not from the system field.
«Copy App Logs» starts with this list and build number.
The entries start with this build: the app cannot say what was installed before.
The «Applications» tab is updated itself
The list was read once at startup and, once installed, showed the old version until the restart. Now it is rereadable for any change in packages — our installation, someone else's, manual deletion.
TV
The indicator «pull to update» no longer appears in the middle of the screen during focus transitions: pull-to-refresh on TV is disabled.
The «down» button from any screen puts the focus on the current tab, and not on the one closest to the center.
Assembly 150 existed only locally; number missed.
