- v2.0.1: Android 14 background activity compliance fixes.
- v2.0.0: Live-Reboot Watchdog, Encoder Fallback Mechanism, and System + Mic Audio Recording.
- v1.1.0: 4K/120FPS Support, AMOLED Lavender UI, and Live Thumbnail Notifications.
- v1.0.0: Initial stable release with H.264/HEVC support.
- High Resolution Capture: Support for 4K (UHD), 2K (QHD), and standard definitions.

- Custom ROM & GSI Compatibility: Bypasses faulty hardware checks found in standard Android environments, providing stable recording on spoofed or heavily modified custom ROMs.
- SoC Graceful Degradation: Automatically detects hardware bottlenecks (like AV1 encoding limits on weaker CPUs) and triggers encoder fallbacks without crashing the application.
- Video Bitrate: Configurable up to 40 Mbps (CBR/VBR support).
- Audio Fidelity: Adjustable sample rates from 64kbps to 320kbps.
- Storage Path: All recordings are stored locally in
/Movies/RecorderX. - Naming Conventions: Support for custom filename templates using date and timestamp variables.
