Now Bar Color 1.3.0

🚨🔴 IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY WARNING (READ BEFORE INSTALLING) 🔴🚨

🚨 CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE & AOD_Service BUILD REQUIREMENT — ONE UI 8.0 / 8.5 vs. ONE UI 9.0+ 🚨

• ⚠️ Having One UI 9 does NOT guarantee immediate compatibility: Samsung's AOD_Service (com.samsung.android.app.aodservice) changes drastically depending on each device's firmware branch and model.
• 🔴 Mandatory Base AOD_Service Build (896548000): It is strictly mandatory to run the exact same base build of AOD_Service used to develop this module—extracted from the Galaxy S26 FE, build 896548000 (v8.9.65.48). Any other AOD_Service variant or branch will cause graphical glitches in the capsule or prevent the module from working entirely.
• 🔴 One UI 8.0 & One UI 8.5 Users (INSTALL THE FULL SUITE): Users on One UI 8.0 and 8.5 MUST install the complete All-in-One Root Module Suite (NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip) via KernelSU, Magisk, or APatch:
  • 👉 Direct Download (One UI 8.0 / 8.5 Suite): Download NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip (v1.3.0)
  • Automatic LSPosed Activation: Includes the S26 FE AOD_Service (896548000), DressRoom, GalleryWidget, SamsungGallery, LockStar 9.0.00.5, the latest LockScreenFix_OU9 (v2.1.7), and NowBarColor v1.3.0. Upon flashing the Suite and rebooting, both LSPosed modules (NowBarColor and LockScreenFix_OU9) and their target scopes are activated automatically via SQLite—no manual activation in LSPosed Manager is needed!
• 🔴 One UI 9.0+ Users (INSTALL THE STANDALONE AOD_Service.apk): Users on the latest system version (One UI 9.0+) do NOT need the full Suite ZIP, but MUST install the standalone AOD_Service.apk (extracted from the Galaxy S26 FE, build 896548000) provided in this release alongside NowBarColor.apk:
  • 👉 Direct Download (AOD_Service.apk — S26 FE Build 896548000): Download AOD_Service.apk (896548000)
  • 💡 KernelSU Cross-Branch Installation Tip: If AOD_Service.apk fails to install as an update across different Samsung firmware branches, disable the official release verification first by running:

    su -c "/data/adb/ksu/bin/resetprop -n ro.build.official.release false"

    Then install AOD_Service.apk and NowBarColor.apk.

What's New in v1.3.0 (versionCode 4)

• Fixed Media Card Collapse Transition (Ghost Island Elimination): Resolved a visual artifact where collapsing the expanded Music/Media card back into the Now Bar capsule left a temporary full-size rectangular background behind the shrinking card during the 150ms collapse transition.
• Fixed Individual Capsule Category Titles & Descriptions: Restored localized titles and descriptions across English, Spanish, and Portuguese for Clock & Timer, Sports, Maps & Health, and Other Live Activities.
• Adaptive Compact UI Layout for Low DPI & Large Font Scales: Added responsive layout scaling in the companion app and live preview capsule so text and gradient controls never wrap vertically on compact widths or high font zoom levels.
• Updated All-in-One Suite (NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip): Integrated NowBarColor v1.3.0 and the latest LockScreenFix_OU9 (v2.1.7) build, plus standalone AOD_Service.apk (S26 FE build 896548000) for One UI 9.0+ users.

Now Bar Color 1.2.0

🚨🔴 IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY WARNING (READ BEFORE INSTALLING) 🔴🚨

🚨 CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE NOTICE — ONE UI 8.0 & 8.5 vs. ONE UI 9.0+ 🚨

Now Bar Color was engineered and built specifically targeting Samsung's AODService (com.samsung.android.app.aodservice v8.9.65.48) from One UI 9.

• 🔴 One UI 8.0 & One UI 8.5 Users (SUITE REQUIRED): Because lower One UI versions ship with an older AODService, installing NowBarColor.apk alone will NOT work on One UI 8.0 or 8.5. You MUST install the All-in-One Root Module Suite (NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip) via KernelSU, Magisk, or APatch:
  • 👉 Direct 1-Click Download (One UI 8.0 / 8.5 Suite): Download NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip (v1.2.0)
  • Automatic LSPosed Activation: This Suite already bundles everything needed (AODService v8.9.65.48, DressRoom, GalleryWidget, SamsungGallery, LockStar 9.0.00.5, LockScreenFix, and NowBarColor v1.2.0). Upon flashing the Suite and rebooting, all LSPosed modules (NowBarColor and LockScreenFix) and their target scopes are activated automatically via SQLite—you do NOT need to activate them manually in LSPosed Manager!
• ⛔ One UI 9.0+ Users (SUITE NOT NEEDED): Do NOT install the Suite module! Your ROM already includes the native One UI 9 AODService. Simply install/update NowBarColor.apk directly.

What's New in v1.2.0 (versionCode 3)

• Dynamic Vector Capsule Badges: Integrated custom 48x48 One UI squircle vector icons with transparent cutouts across all 10 Now Bar capsule categories in the companion app, dynamically reflecting each capsule's chosen solid color, lock screen wallpaper palette, or two-stop horizontal gradient in real time.
• All-in-One Turnkey Suite for One UI 8.0 & 8.5 (NowBar_LockScreen_Suite.zip): Universal root module compatible with KernelSU, Magisk, and APatch that installs and stabilizes the full One UI 9 lock screen & AOD stack on the first boot with zero manual LSPosed setup.
• Repository & Documentation Cleanup: Streamlined installation guide and removed legacy manual setup files.
