v1.2.6

New

• Container backup and restore: a new screen snapshots your containers into your phone's Downloads folder and restores them later.
• Status view: a live look at CPU, memory and storage use for both the VM and your device, with an at-a-glance load graph.
• Downloads-folder sharing on hardware-accelerated (AVF) VMs: your Android Downloads folder now appears inside the guest, so files copy both ways with no extra setup.
• Load-balancing mode: an optional setting that adapts the VM's resource footprint to your device.
• The home screen now shows a clear shutting-down indicator while the VM stops.

Fixes

• Hardware-accelerated (AVF) VMs now start with working networking on devices running the newer Android virtualization stack, instead of failing to boot.
• The in-app terminal no longer hammers a dropped connection: reconnects back off, and the font size stays within a readable range.
• The update check retries shortly after a temporary network hiccup instead of waiting a full day.
• Custom QEMU argument edits in Settings now stick reliably.
• Removed a duplicate Terminal button from the home screen and tightened the status details.
• Broad reliability hardening across VM startup, storage handling, boot-progress detection, and the guest-to-Android bridge helpers.

Known limitation

• On some Tensor-based Pixels (the 8 and 9 families), hardware-accelerated (AVF) VMs fall back to fewer CPU cores to boot reliably; the VM still runs, just with fewer vCPUs. A fix is planned.

Thanks

• @ChinmayaGit for the container backup, status view, and load-balancing work (#48).
