Hyper Bridge 0.5.0 - The Live Update

[D4vidDf]

🚀 Hyper Bridge 0.5.0

Hyper Bridge 0.5.0 is a massive feature release bringing full support for Native Live Updates, CN ROMs, a completely overhauled theme engine, dedicated layouts, and major system improvements.

🌟 Headline Features

• ⚡ Native Live Updates Support

  • Full support for Native Android 16/HyperOS Live Updates.
  • Requirement: Requires HyperOS 3.0.3xx+ or higher.
  • Added as a brand new option in the Engine Selector (available globally or per-app), allowing you to choose between the custom "Xiaomi Featured Design" or native system Live Updates.

• 🇨🇳 Full CN ROM Support (Sui & Shizuku)

  • Added a dedicated workaround using Sui and Shizuku allowing users on HyperOS CN (Chinese) ROMs to fully enjoy Hyper Islands without needing native system support.
  • Ensures seamless network operations and bypasses regional limitations on notifications.

• 🧠 Intelligent Permanent Island

  • Always Visible: You can now choose to keep the empty island permanently on your screen even when there are no active notifications.
  • Auto-Hide Logic: The permanent island is smart—it automatically hides itself whenever an active widget is shown on the screen to prevent awkward UI overlaps.
  • Customize the width of the permanent island directly from the settings to perfectly match your camera cutout.

• 🎨 Theme Engine & Color Customization Improvements

  • New HSL Color Picker: Replaced standard hex fields with a beautiful new HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) bottom sheet color picker for ultra-precise theme customization.
  • Engine Selection: You can now choose between the "Xiaomi Featured Design" or "Native Android Live Updates" on a per-app basis or globally.
  • Layered Behavior Controls: Set custom timeouts and popup logic directly within themes.
  • Shizuku Toggle: Added the Shizuku workaround toggle directly to the Theme Editor Engine tab for easy access.

• ⬇️ Dedicated Downloads & Text Progress

  • New Download Layout: Downloads now have a completely separated layout and visual design from standard progress bars, finishing with a satisfying "Green Tick" animation.
  • Text Progress Support: The engine now parses raw percentage text (e.g., "12%") from notifications, allowing apps that don't use native progress bars to still trigger the island.
  • Smart Filtering: Text-based progress is strictly filtered to store and installer downloads to prevent false triggers on regular status notifications.

• ⚙️ Advanced Island Behaviors & DND

  • Do Not Disturb (DND): You can now enable DND mode to suppress island popups when you don't want to be interrupted.
  • Remove Original Notification: A highly requested new option allows you to automatically remove the original system notification when it's being displayed in the Island, keeping your status bar completely clean.
  • Custom Heads-up Popups: You can now define exactly how long the floating "heads-up" popup shows before smoothly transitioning back into the collapsed island.

• 💡 Smart Icon Tinting

  • Implemented a new detection system that automatically analyzes extracted app notification icons. If an icon is dark or monochrome (making it invisible on the black island background), the system will intelligently tint it white.

🛠 System, UX & Bug Fixes

• New Onboarding Experience: Completely redesigned the onboarding flow into an 11-page guided setup, making it significantly easier to grant critical permissions, configure engines, and set up island behaviors on your first launch.
• Direct Boot Support: The service now supports Direct Boot (LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED), meaning it starts immediately and reliably after a device restart—even before you unlock your phone for the first time.
• Widget Enhancements:
  • Added a "Favorites" system and "Recommended" filter for the Widget Picker to quickly find island-compatible 1x4 and 2x4 widgets.
  • Added a "Kill Active Widgets" action to instantly dismiss all running overlays.
• Messaging Fixes:
  • Fixed missing sender avatars in apps like Telegram (now accurately extracts "sender_person" data).
  • Resolved issues where grouped notifications (chat summaries) failed to trigger the island.
  • Fixed island disappearance bugs caused by notification update race conditions (e.g., rapid progress updates).
• Navigation 3 Migration: Fully migrated app routing to AndroidX Navigation 3, resulting in faster, smoother screen transitions and predictive back gesture support.

🌍 Localization

• Added full French localization.
• Updated strings across Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Italian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Hungarian, and more for all the new features.

It's so annoying. It's like, when I answer a call and switch between apps, a lot of apps overlap. After hanging up, it looks like in the video when I switch to another app.

[D4vidDf]

thank you for the report, i will soon upload a fixed version

[loveton1144]

I encountered another problem: the notification time. Messenger There's no text at all, as shown in the image.

[D4vidDf]

This bug will be fixed on Hyper Bridge 0.5.1

I'm having a problem. Previously, in version 4.0, notifications weren't duplicated like this. Is this a bug or is my setup incorrect? I've tried everything, but the results are the same.

[D4vidDf]

Is a bug introduced on the stable compilation. Will be fixed on the next bugfix next week, sorry for the inconveniences

[jeckokoala-cpu]

Thank you, sir. I hope the next update will be even better. Keep up the good work 😁

[D4vidDf]

Happy to say that his bug was fixed, blocking whatsapp from being trigger by group notifications was the solution. In the future I'll add a new configuration screen where users can add manual overrides for this type of situations
