ZeroOS 0.0.28

Read before installing: README, LICENSE and third-party notices. Installing means you have read and understood them, including the possible problems, and agree to them.

Personal use only, at your own risk. Do not upload or share these APKs anywhere (no app stores, APK sites, websites or file-sharing). ZeroOS may cause problems on your phone, including problems not listed or not known when it was released; the author and owner of this repository is not responsible for any damage or loss.

Install: download zeroos-0.0.28-release.apk (for daily use) and open it. Export a settings backup first, and pause Play Protect while installing (it declares an Accessibility service), then turn it back on. The debug APK is only for the debug tools; both are signed with the same key. After updating, check Settings → Accessibility: Android may have turned ZeroOS's service off because what it can do changed.

Changes in 0.0.28

• Short-video blocker, off until you turn it on in Settings → Wellbeing → Short videos: blocks YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels with a black screen (dot shutter over a play symbol, a pun or your own message, Go home). Block at once, or after a daily allowance (15 min by default); "Allow 5 minutes" once a day after a mindful pause; always blocked during Focus. The rest of each app stays usable
• Insights shows today's short-video time and how often it was blocked
• Accessibility: the service can now read screen layout, used only inside YouTube and Instagram while the blocker is on; the explanation screens say so
