v0.3.0

Settings that are easier to use

HushMessenger v0.3.0 redesigns settings around two pages. Controls has category filters, search and a setup panel showing your enabled count. App keeps appearance, version details and setup help together. Open HushMessenger settings from your app drawer after installing a patched Messenger build.

• Dark and light layouts follow the new design references, with grouped rows and clear switch states.
• Switching themes preserves your selected page, category, search and scroll position. Your existing patch choices stay saved.
• Narrow screens and larger text get a stacked header. Interactive targets are at least 48 dp.
• The catalog still contains 21 selectable patches and 20 optional controls. This release changes settings presentation; its Messenger hooks are unchanged.

Checked locally

All 57 tests pass (26 Kotlin, 20 Android and 11 Python), and Android lint reports no errors. Both supported Messenger APKs rebuilt with all 21 patches and passed v3 signature verification. Two clean builds produced the same bundle checksum. The release settings extension was exercised on an isolated S22 display, with both pages and themes compared against the design references.

Existing limits

Original-package re-signed Messenger still has an unresolved blank startup screen. The standalone settings checks do not establish signed-in Messenger behavior. Live inbox ad removal remains experimental. Version code 346013370 reported in issue #1 is still unsupported; tested codes are 346013387 and 346013440.

Refreshing the source downloads the bundle. Applying these settings changes requires rebuilding and installing Messenger with the same signing key as your previous patched copy. Keep your stock sign-in and encrypted history intact. The attached MPP is a patch bundle, not a Messenger APK.
