Important

Recommended Update: This release addresses critical thermal and resource-allocation bugs found in older versions. If you have experienced device heating or battery drain while scrolling through GIFs and Stickers, updating to v2.2.0 is highly recommended to restore cool, peak-efficiency performance.
This update introduces massive, under-the-hood optimization pipelines to the GIFs and Stickers panel, dropping resource consumption to industry-leading efficiency. Active CPU draw and physical memory usage have been dramatically reduced to ensure your device stays completely cool—even during aggressive scrolling.

🛠️ Performance & Resource Enhancements

  • ⚡ 42%+ Reduction in Peak Scrolling RAM

    • Optimized RecyclerView off-screen cache sizes to enable immediate memory recycling.
    • Peak physical memory usage during active media scrolling has been slashed by over 42%.

  • 🧹 Instantaneous Memory Purging

    • Added aggressive view detachment and bitmap disposal.
    • When scrolling ceases, the app aggressively reclaims nearly 30% of its active memory footprint in less than 120 milliseconds, settling down to a 29% lighter baseline than prior releases.

  • ⏱️ Fling-Aware Deferred Loading

    • Image loading now intelligently pauses during rapid scroll motion.
    • If a grid cell flies quickly past the screen, its image decode request is completely bypassed—saving vast amounts of CPU cycles.

  • ⏸️ Scroll-State Animation Pausing

    • When actively dragging or flinging through the panel, visible GIF/WebP animations are briefly paused to yield all processing power to scroll physics.
    • The millisecond scrolling stops, previews instantly resume playing seamlessly.

  • 📉 Frame-Rate Throttled Previews

    • Preview animations are now capped at a CPU-friendly frame rate using a custom drawable scheduler.
    • This reduces background frame-decoding and GPU drawing overhead by up to 80%, while keeping previews completely animated.
    • Note: Original full-quality HD media remains untouched and is sent at maximum quality.

  • 🎨 Custom Lightweight Loader

    • Designed a native, canvas-drawn rotating progress spinner to serve as a premium loading placeholder. This keeps the application lightweight and entirely free of unnecessary external dependencies.

🔋 Intelligent Battery Safety

  • ⚡ Strict Battery Saver Compliance
    • System battery saver modes are strictly respected.
    • The application automatically disables resource-intensive live background blurs when battery saver is active, defaulting to a highly optimized solid opaque themed background to maximize battery preservation, still completely following the Material You color profiles.
