0.0.12-alpha - 2026-09-21

Version code 12.

  • Apps of other makers. The build for direct install carries two apps and
    can install them: CLauncher v5.3.0 (the release APK of its maker, not
    changed) and Ink Recents 0.1.1 (open source). Home and recents lists them. Android asks before
    each install. The APKs are in the build, because Rebind has no internet
    permission. The Google Play build carries nothing and has no install
    permission: Google Play does not allow that here. It opens the page of the
    maker.

  • Whisper 3.7 (speech to text on the device, MIT, the F-Droid build) is the
    third app that the build for direct install carries. Voice typing lists it.

  • The home screen of Rebind is gone, with its settings screens. CLauncher
    is the home screen now, as its maker released it. An old settings file that
    has home screen settings still imports. Those settings are skipped.

  • Recent apps is a program of its own: Ink Recents (open source,
    github.com/equwal/ink-recents). Rebind no longer has that screen, and no
    longer asks for usage access or KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES. The Recent apps
    action opens Ink Recents. Old bindings keep working. Where Ink Recents is
    not installed, the action opens the screen that offers it.

  • Hardware hacks: the double tap of Power is one row. Its way in is the camera
    intent or the wallet intent, as the device decides. There is no wallet
    button.

  • The setup of a Power combination no longer says the same thing twice.

  • Hardware hacks is a tile on the main screen with a screen of its own:
    hold Power (assistant role), double tap Power (camera intent), the wallet
    button, the full Power button (shell access), extra-dim light, and the
    button settings of the device. Advanced no longer holds them.
