Changed

  • The full-version section of the settings now looks like the backup and contribution sections
    around it: one card, with the icon, the status and the explanation inside it, and tapping the
    card is what asks Google Play again. It used to be loose text with a small link under it, which
    read like part of a different screen.
  • Choosing a tile type that needs the full version now shows you the tile first. The fields are
    laid out as usual, greyed but readable, with one "Locked — tap to unlock" button above them, so
    you can see what a Video or Sound tile actually asks for before deciding whether it is worth
    paying for. The offer with the price arrives when you tap that button. It used to appear straight
    away, on top of the very fields it was describing.
  • The text about the full version is shorter and says the part that matters: one payment, no
    subscription, everything else stays free, and anything you make can always be shared without a
    second purchase.

Fixed

  • Restoring a backup that contains a kind of tile this version does not know now brings back
    everything else and says how many it had to leave out — and that they are still in your file, so
    updating Larova and restoring again gets them. Before, one unfamiliar tile made the whole file
    refuse to open, and it said "this is not a Larova backup" about a perfectly good one.
  • The messages when a restore cannot go ahead now say what to do about it. A file that could not be
    opened at all — one still sitting in cloud storage, most often — no longer claims not to be a
    Larova backup, and the others suggest a next step instead of stopping at the bad news.
  • Replacing everything when you restore is harder to do by accident: the dialog now says that it
    removes what is on the phone first and cannot be undone, the two choices no longer sit in the
    order that favoured the destructive one, and there is a Cancel button rather than only tapping
    outside.

The APK below is the full version

The build attached here is assembled with -Plarova.paidTier=false: every tile
type is available, nothing asks for money, and no store code runs. That is
deliberate — the licence lets anyone rebuild Larova without the paid tier in about
five minutes, so a crippled sideload build would buy nothing and cost goodwill.

It does mean this build has no way to contribute. If it is useful to you and you
would like to help pay for the time it takes:

Entirely optional, and it unlocks nothing — there is nothing left to unlock.
