Stable v1.1.0 - New Quick Settings Tile!
⭐ You can now add a MicLock tile to your Quick Settings panel for instant access - No more opening the app to start or stop the service! ⭐
⚙️ How to Add the Tile
- Pull down your notification shade fully.
- Tap the "Edit" (pencil) icon.
- Find the MicLock tile and drag it to your active tiles.
👀 Tile as a status indicator:
- Mic On Icon ON (Active): The tile is lit, and the icon shows the microphone is active. Your microphone is protected. Tap to turn it off.
- Mic Off Icon OFF (Inactive): The tile is dimmed, and the icon shows the microphone is off. Your microphone is not currently being rerouted. Tap to turn it on.
- Mic Paused Icon PAUSED (Unavailable): The tile is dimmed with a pause icon. This means another app (like WhatsApp or the Phone app) is actively using the microphone, and MicLock has politely stepped aside. It will resume automatically when the other app is finished.
- NO PERMISSION (Unavailable): If you haven't granted the necessary microphone or notification permissions, the tile will appear unavailable and display "No Permission." Simply open the app to grant them.
📝 Some Technical Note
Starting services from the background has become more challenging on modern Android - probably for our safety.
But sadly it means that some times MicLock will need to open the main app for a split second start the service and then immediately close it to by pass some restrictions,
From your perspective it will just exit the notification back to your previous screen - just know that's not a bug.
