ScreenX Release Notes - v1.4.0

🚀 What's New & Enhancements

• 🔄 In-App Update Checker (via GitHub Releases)

  • Added direct integration with GitHub's Releases API to check for new app versions.
  • Added "Check for Updates" button and an "Auto-Check for Updates" toggle in Settings.
  • Custom themed update dialog matching the ScreenX native dark & expressive design system with release notes preview and direct APK download links.

• 🎛️ Swap Main Card on Home Screen

  • Added a new setting under Stealth Recording allowing users to switch the big AGSL shader hero card to Stealth Recording and the secondary row to Standard Recording.
  • Seamlessly swaps functionality, icons, status badges, and trigger actions while preserving the exact layout, shader ripple effects, and visual styling.

• 📴 Stop Recording on Screen Off

  • Added a "Stop on Screen Off" toggle in Settings.
  • Automatically detects device lock / screen turn-off events (ACTION_SCREEN_OFF) and cleanly finalizes active standard or stealth recordings without file corruption.

• 👻 Hide Floating Ball While Recording

  • Added a "Hide Ball While Recording" option in Settings.
  • Automatically hides the floating control overlay during an active recording session and restores it upon pause or stop.

• ⚡ Quick Settings Tile Enhancements

  • Fixed tile visibility across various Android OEM skins by ensuring android:enabled="true" and proper ACTIVE_TILE metadata.
  • Added a one-tap "Add Quick Settings Tile" shortcut in Settings (utilizing StatusBarManager.requestAddTileService on Android 13+).

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

• Fixed Stealth Recording Premature Stop on App Switch:
  • Resolved an issue where switching from ScreenX to another app caused native /system/bin/screenrecord to exit due to display surface changes.
  • Added explicit display resolution locking (--size WIDTHxHEIGHT) to match the hardware screen metrics.
  • Implemented session continuity and strict user stop tracking so window transitions settle without dropping the recording session or prematurely saving short clips.
• Fixed Wireless ADB Pairing Dialog Listener:
  • Ensured PairingInputService stops actively listening as soon as pairing is validated and confirmed, preventing lingering notifications.
• Streamlined Toast Notifications:
  • Cleaned up notifications to show straightforward "Recording started" and "Recording stopped" alerts across both standard and stealth recording modes.
