• 🛠 1.96.1 is a bug-fix and transition update. The full customization update is planned for 1.97.0.
• ❄️ Dhizuku fixes: freeze/unfreeze keeps apps and data; installs, app removal and data clearing use supported device-owner operations. Unsupported actions are clearer.
• 🗂 Freezer profiles: add selected apps to existing profiles, see each app's memberships and choose recovery when removing frozen apps.
• 🎛 Customize multi-app actions: reorder or hide App list and Freezer toolbar actions, with separate saved layouts.
• 💛 Optional support shortcuts after successful actions. Thor remains free and ad-free.

v 1.96.3
• 🧊 Shizuku hotfix: restores the system-app removal fallback when a device refuses disabling. It is on by default; an existing choice to keep it off stays off.
• ⚠️ Know the fallback: removes the app for your Android user while keeping data files; app accounts may be lost. Unfreeze reinstalls it. Manage it in Settings → Freezer → System app removal fallback. It applies to manual and automatic freezes.
• 🛠 Clearer results: improved freeze/restore errors and removal of unrelated root warnings from Shizuku tasks.
• 📜 Small-screen fix: scroll through Extensions confirmation to reach its answer and buttons, including in landscape.
• 🛡 Also new since 1.96.1: App Ops controls with verified changes, draggable Apps and Freezer scrollbars, and Japanese support.
APK Size: around 4.75MB
