This is the release that carries the PhoneLab rebrand (the package id com.sensolab.devicemonitor is unchanged for continuity).

✨ New

  • 🔧 Hardware tab — per-core live CPU frequency, detailed battery stats, display capabilities (refresh rate, HDR), and hardware flags (NFC, Bluetooth, camera count, biometric enrollment).
  • 📡 6 more sensors (24 total).
  • 📝 CSV session recording now keeps running in the background via a foreground service — switching tabs or apps no longer stops it.
  • 🔔 Thermal alerts — an optional notification when CPU temperature crosses a threshold, with hysteresis so it won't spam you.
  • 🏠 Home screen widget and Quick Settings tile — check CPU temperature without opening the app.
  • 🔐 Smarter permissions — the app no longer asks for everything at launch; each permission is requested only when you tap the feature that needs it.
  • 🔋 Background thermal checks now run via WorkManager instead of a constant timer, for better battery life.
