Version 1.5.0

Android Companion App

Added Animations

• Added simple yet smooth animations

Settings Layout and Permissions Restructuring

• Grouped all system-level settings and runtime permissions into the permissions section in settings.
• Combined the check-for-updates view directly into the top App Info card below the version label to eliminate layout clutter.
• Implemented PermissionHelper utility shortcuts to guide users directly to Android settings overlays.

Proactive Permissions and Services

• Added immediate runtime authorization checks on app launch for all core features
• Implemented AppNotificationListenerService (bound to Android's NotificationListenerService) to sync incoming notifications to the desktop application.
• Added LaunchAppActivity to handle launching application processes remotely.

Windows GUI Agent

Desktop Deck Transparent Grid Frame

• Resolved a layout rendering issue where solid color rectangle backgrounds were displayed behind app shortcuts in the Android tab grid.
• Shifted widgets into a transparent grid frame (CTkFrame overlay) so that the synchronized phone wallpaper gradient displays smoothly.

AI Agent Execution Controls

• Added the control_android_device tool to the AI agent, allowing the AI to launch apps, toggle the device's settings, and adjust media/ring volumes on the phone.
• Configured strict privacy guardrails for the AI agent to prevent scanning or storage of private contacts, notifications, and SMS messages.
• Fixed an issue where exiting and returning to the AI Agent tab would not reset or redraw wait animations correctly.

Phone Data Synchronization

• Added new background handlers to request, parse, and synchronize data from the mobile companion app, including:
  • Phone status updates (battery level, charging status, network connection type, and Wi-Fi SSID).
  • Incoming app notifications.
  • Active device contacts list.
  • Incoming SMS list.
  • Custom desktop deck layout and application shortcuts configuration.
• Simplified dependency structure and import resolution across WebSocket connection and calling handlers.
