TickerBar v1.14.83

Fixes the first pull after unlocking in non-root mode. HyperOS can deliver the launcher foreground event after the gesture begins; TickerBar now treats that first event as the keyguard handoff instead of closing the newly attached shade and leaving only its blur backdrop.

TickerBar v1.14.82

Expands the clean-boot Shizuku path across the unified shade and device controls.

• Shizuku fallback for hotspot, flashlight, DND, floating recorder, Ultra Saver and SystemUI expansion
• Shizuku-backed adaptive brightness range and display binder calls
• Wi-Fi-aware Google Home selection without root
• Persistent shade/listener/app-op/recorder/countdown integration when Shizuku connects
• Shell-safe HyperOS memory policy
• Shizuku capability audit in Settings
• Reverse charging, read-only boot properties and raw power/input observation remain root-only

TickerBar v1.14.81

Fixes the Hotspot tile after a clean boot by routing tethering status and toggle operations through the live Shizuku fallback when the boot-scoped root worker is intentionally absent.

TickerBar v1.14.80

Google Home private configuration fix

• Replaces the invalid direct launch of Google Home Favorites setup.
• Uses AppWidgetHost.startAppWidgetConfigureActivityForResult, the Android system-host API designed to launch a provider’s private configuration activity.
• Google Home 4.x declares AppWidgetSetupActivity but marks it exported=false; direct intents must fail, while the system widget-host route is authorized.
• Preserves the v1.14.79 one-flow behavior: when only one Home widget exists, Switch home immediately creates a second instance, opens Google’s chooser, maps it to the current SSID, and refreshes the shelf.

Installed on the POCO F9 Ultra. Final selection requires the user to unlock and choose the desired Google Home structure.

TickerBar v1.14.79

Google Home switching workflow fix

• Fixes Switch home / assign Wi-Fi looping back to the manager when only one Home widget exists.
• If there is no second configured Home, immediately allocates another Favorites widget and opens Google Home’s own structure picker.
• Choosing Cottage/Home binds that widget to the currently detected SSID and refreshes the open shelf.
• Existing switchers now include an explicit Set up another Google Home row.
• Logs the provider result and confirms a successful Wi-Fi assignment.

Live diagnosis showed TickerBar had exactly one Favorites widget (id 25), so the previous switcher had no second target. v1.14.79 is installed on the test device; completing the Google picker requires the user to unlock and choose the desired Home.

TickerBar v1.14.78

Allowlisted privileged-controls experiment

• Adds an explicit Lock root to allowlisted controls action after system setup.
• Permanently disables arbitrary and interactive shell commands for the rest of that boot.
• The restricted protocol accepts only fixed operations for hotspot, Wi-Fi, data, Bluetooth, airplane mode, location, NFC, DND, flashlight, battery modes, reverse charging, recorder, power gestures, helper reconnection, ticker/status leases, and clean reboot.
• Removes ADB/shell access to the daemon; only TickerBar’s authenticated UID and root may connect.
• Keeps the clean-reboot escape path working after lockdown.
• Handles APK updates without storing a writable executable or classpath pointer.
• Adds no Play Integrity spoofing, property masking, package hiding, or attestation-specific behavior.

Important: the worker still begins as UID 0 because HyperOS tethering and sysfs controls require privilege. This is an attack-surface reduction experiment, not a guarantee that Strong Integrity will remain available.

TickerBar v1.14.77

Google Home location switching

• Fixes Switch home appearing to do nothing while the shade is already open.
• Rebinds and fades in the selected Google Home Favorites widget immediately.
• Selecting a home now automatically associates it with the currently connected Wi-Fi in one tap.
• Confirms the detected SSID directly in the picker title.
• Allows multiple SSIDs to select the same physical home/widget.
• Gives a clear setup message when only one Home shelf exists.

Live verified on POCO F9 Ultra at SSID cotty. Existing Home profiles are preserved.

TickerBar v1.14.76

Least-privilege root session controls

• Adds an explicit Finish setup, drop root & reboot action.
• Preserves persistent Android grants, Xiaomi countdown removal, tile ordering, and status-bar preferences.
• Restores boot-only memory tuning, closes ticker/input/power leases, removes temporary root launch files, terminates the general root daemon, then reboots clean.
• Restricts the new root daemon socket to root and TickerBar’s authenticated app UID; ADB shell is no longer accepted.
• Shows clean-mode versus privileged-session state in Root access.
• Does not claim or attempt to bypass Play Integrity or Wallet policy.

Verified on POCO F9 Ultra / HyperOS OS3.0.309.0.WGNMIXM. The clean transition is only activated by an explicit confirmed tap in TickerBar.

TickerBar 1.14.75

• Keeps hidden notification types/apps out of the collapsed status bar as well as TickerBar’s shade and ticker.
• Preserves ongoing foreground services by lowering only their hidden channel ranking; original importance is restored when the user unhides them.
• Handles Android system-wide ongoing notices that ordinary notification listeners cannot dismiss.
• Routes physical volume keys to active local or cast media even while Do Not Disturb is enabled; the DND/ringer exit gesture now runs only when no media is active.
• Renders ticker artwork correctly: sender avatar, large notification icon, full-colour app icon, then a tinted monochrome fallback—no more blank accent-coloured squircle.
• Verified on-device on the POCO F9 Ultra: hidden Misound stayed alive at importance 1, the hidden Android developer notice disappeared, and unrelated notifications remained untouched.

TickerBar 1.14.73

• Fades Google Home controls smoothly whenever a light changes between On and Off.
• Uses the same polished accent-color transition for live toggles as the initial shade reveal.
• Continues smoothly from the current color when a state reverses mid-animation, avoiding flashes or hard cuts.
• Preserves the stable state handling introduced in 1.14.72.
• Verified on the POCO F9 Ultra with live Google Home controls.
