This update transforms Orion from a simple app store into a full-fledged device manager and community hub. I have unlocked system-level powers and rewritten the core engine for speed. 🧠 Feature Spotlight: Filename Intelligence & Stream Locking Orion now understands the DNA of your apps. - Stream Locking: Install a "Nightly" or "Alpha" build once, and Orion locks onto that frequency. Future updates will automatically target that specific stream instead of forcing you back to Stable. - Smart Package Discovery: The engine now aggressively scans for package variants (e.g., com.example.preview vs com.example). If you side-load a Beta manually, Orion detects it instantly and syncs the correct state. - Zero-API Logic: Complex version parsing happens locally in a background worker, bypassing GitHub API limits entirely. 🛡️ Feature Spotlight: Orion Guardian (Shizuku) I have unlocked the true power of Android. By leveraging Shizuku, Orion now offers tools previously reserved for root users or ADB commands. - System Debloater: Safely freeze or uninstall bloatware and system apps. Features "Risk Heuristics" (Safe/Caution/Critical) to warn you before touching critical OS components. - Permission Manager: Visualize dangerous permissions (Camera, Mic, Location) across all apps and revoke them instantly with one tap. - APK Surgeon: Extract the installation file (APK) of any app on your device—including system apps—to share or analyze. 🛰️ Feature Spotlight: Orion Sentinel (Security Suite) Orion now includes a powerful, on-demand security suite built for privacy-conscious users. Sentinel helps you understand your device's security posture without constant background scanning. - Rapid Scan: Instantly checks your installed apps against a known threat database and verifies their installation source (e.g., flags a banking app not installed from the Play Store). - Deep Scan: Performs a full file system analysis, using cryptographic hashes to detect threats and "Magic Byte" analysis to find malicious files disguised as safe documents. - Network Sentry: Audits your current connection for vulnerabilities, warning you about weak WiFi encryption, active developer debugging (ADB), and hidden proxies that could intercept your traffic. - Privacy-First Intelligence: Sentinel's threat database is distributed and sharded. The app only downloads the tiny data shards it needs, respecting your bandwidth and privacy. ❤️ Feature Spotlight: Favorites & Dynamic Organization - Favorites System: Mark your most-used apps with a heart. They appear with a badge in the list and can be filtered instantly. - Dynamic Categories: The store now adapts to its content. Categories are no longer hardcoded; if a developer submits an app under "Productivity" or "Gaming", a new tab is automatically created to organize it. 🏆 Feature Spotlight: The Hall of Fame The community is now live. - Global Leaderboard: Contribute to the project (Fuel the Code) to earn XP and rank up from "Newcomer" to "Cosmic Guardian". - The R-Coin: The Developer Avatar on the About page is now an interactive 3D coin. Flip it to reveal the hidden gateway to the Hall of Fame. - Ghost Relay: A secure, serverless backend that validates contributions with cryptographic signatures to prevent cheating. ⚡ Performance: Nuclear Foundation - Core-Shift (Web Workers): I moved the entire "brain" of the app to a background thread. Searching, sorting, and parsing 10,000 apps now happens in parallel, keeping the UI at a buttery 120Hz. - Memory Caching: Tab switching (Apps <-> PC <-> TV) is now instant. Data persists in memory, eliminating loading spinners after the first fetch. 🛠️ UX Refinements - Native Splash Screen: A beautiful, custom-animated splash screen now greets you on app launch. The animation is rendered natively for a smooth, professional startup experience. - Icon Perfection (Chrome Engine): I have abandoned standard image libraries. Orion now spins up a hidden Chrome browser instance just to take a perfect 1024x1024 photograph of your icon on a CSS-rendered Indigo canvas. This guarantees absolute zero transparency artifacts and 100% pixel-perfect scaling on all Android devices. - Smart Install Scanner: The "Install" button now intelligently transitions to a "Scanning..." state, verifying package registration in the background to prevent "App not installed" false positives. - Copy Package Name: Tapping the package name (e.g., com.orion.store) in the System Guardian now instantly copies it to your clipboard. - Smart Search: The search engine now weights results by relevance (Name > Author > Description) rather than just simple text matching. - Independent Tab Settings: Filters, categories, sort orders, and favorites are now saved independently for each tab (Android/PC/TV). Your preferences persist exactly as you left them until changed.
