📣 January'24 Updates.
- In the past couple of weeks, a lot of improvements have been made to the existing features, and I am happy to announce that v4.0.0 will be released in the next week. Writing changelog for 5 different platforms is not an easy task, but I'm almost finished writing the in-app changelog which is, by far, the most complicated one. Testers have also done a good job in reporting potential issues and fixes were made promptly.
- As App Manager is built on the principles of open source, privacy and security, and (according to the last poll) almost 60% of the users are using App Manager for privacy, I'll be focusing more on improving the most crucial projects that App Manager depend on in regards to privacy, such as ADL and Android Libraries. Advanced users and community members are encouraged to contribute to the ADL project since all the related projects are now more-or-less dead. ADL project, compared to App Manager, is a very small project and does not require any coding or programming skills. You may need to have some knowledge about JSON which is very easy to learn. I'd ask every one of you to try to contribute at least once a month to the ADL project to accelerate the process of listing and reviewing the bloatware in Android. Once we can bring it to a stable position, the maintenance would be quite easy.

#stable #release
App Manager v4.0.0
App Manager v4.0.0 comes with a lot of new features and improvements. Visit in-app changelog for details.
- New logo!
The new logo is just a cursive “A”. The design is based on the Tengwar Telcontar font which was created to bring the Tengwar script, originally created by J. R. R. Tolkien, to the digital world. The letter has the classic App Manager color (i.e., \#dcaf74) and uses a pure black background instead of a shade of grey.
- Android 14 and 15 support
App Manager now targets Android 14 and fully supports Android 15.
Known issue: KeyStore backup/restore is not working in Android 12 and later.
- Revamped debloater
Debloating profiles were available as “Presets” in the Profiles page which has now been replaced with the Debloater page and can be accessed from the three-dots menu in the Main page. ADL is a new project that focuses on maintaining a list of bloatware as well as potential open source alternatives. Contributions are welcome!
- Introducing file manager
App Manager offers an (almost) fully-featured file manager with basic file operations, such as copy, cut, rename, and delete along with the batch operations. It also offers an extensive “Open with…” dialog to open a file with another app, and a comprehensive file properties viewer. Folders can also be added to the list of favorites for quick access. And many more.
- Integrated code editor
Manifest and code viewers have been replaced with this new editor. Among other regular features, it includes proper syntax highlighting and advanced searching options. In addition, files from third-party apps can also be opened for editing.
- History of operations
All 1-click operations, batch operations, and profile invocations are now stored as history. The history items can also be executed from the History page. To ensure consistency, the profile state, configurations, package list are also stored, and this stored version is executed instead of the actual profile. As a result, this works even if the profile is deleted.
- Per-app freezing, and more
Freeze/unfreeze feature now supports setting per-app freezing method which is beneficial in certain scenarios, such as when a user want to suspend some apps while using the disable method as the default. In addition, an “Advanced suspend” option is added which force-stops an application before suspending it, thus, prevent it's services from running in the background.
- Log viewer enhancements
Log viewer now supports enhanced searching and filtering options, such as keyword- and regular expression-based searching and filtering. Please read the in-app changelog for details. Support for batch operations has also been added.
- Launching non-exported activities
App Manager now supports launching non-exported activities in no-root and ADB mode. However, in no-root mode,
- New tags in App Info tab
Five new tags are added in the App Info tab. They are: bloatware, Xposed, sensors disabled, open links, and static shared libs. Clicking on “bloatware” will display more information regarding the bloatware and suggest alternatives, “Xposed” tag will display dependency information, “open links” will display a list of links supported by the application, and “static shared libs” will display all version of the application installed in the system along with an option to uninstall them. The latter is useful for applications, such as Trichrome.
Known issue: “Sensors disabled” only works real-time. That means if the application is not currently active, this tag will always display even though the applications may use sensors while it is running. This is a framework limitation and nothing can be done to avoid it effectively.
- Per-session installer options
It is not possible to modify installer options during the installation by clicking on the “settings” button in the installation dialog. The installer options will be applied to all the applications installed in the same session (i.e., the installer queue).
