Second alpha of the SmarterTube phone/tablet fork (built on upstream SmartTube 31.70).

What's new since alpha1

Branding

  • New adaptive launcher icon (amber play triangle on dark), distinct from upstream's red mark.
  • Android-12+ native splash; pre-31 layered fallback.
  • Brand palette (brand_primary, brand_accent); the upstream YouTube-red accent is replaced with amber.

About screen

  • New About entry in the drawer with version, attribution to upstream (yuliskov/SmartTube), MIT licence, and links to both repos.

Sign-in fixes

  • The OAuth Custom Tab is now pinned to a Custom Tabs-capable browser, so Android no longer hands youtube.com URLs to the YouTube app's deep-link handler mid-flow.
  • On polling success the app's task is pulled to the foreground via REORDER_TO_FRONT, so the user returns to SmarterTube instead of staring at YouTube.
  • A manual "Done? Return to app" escape hatch is shown after launching the browser.
  • Failed sign-in attempts now surface a plain inline error with a Retry button.

Account picker

  • Fixed a bug where both the "None" entry and the active account rendered as filled radio buttons. Upstream PR: yuliskov#5820.

Downloads

Pick the APK matching your device's ABI. Most modern phones are arm64-v8a; universal works everywhere but is larger. Side-by-side installable with the upstream TV build.

Signed with the dedicated SmarterTube release key (same as alpha1, in-place upgrade).
