Void OS v0.2 (beta)

A performance pass, redesigned dialogs, a custom accent color, and a smarter notification panel.

Performance

  • Startup work, hot-path allocations and idle wakeups trimmed
  • App icons prewarm right after the index loads (and again if the icon-size slider changes), instead of decoding mid-scroll
  • Icons fade in instead of popping in when they have to be rendered fresh

Notifications

  • Group chats stack by member name instead of one line per message
  • Tapping a notification opens its own conversation, not just the app
  • Swipe either direction to dismiss a single notification
  • Panel height is adjustable: Small, Medium or Large

App list

  • Long-press menu redrawn with icons and a divider before Uninstall
  • Added App info and Uninstall to the long-press menu
  • Uninstall now asks you to confirm first, before Android's own confirm screen
  • Fixed Uninstall: a missing system permission could stop Android's own confirmation from ever appearing
  • A–Z rail ticks with haptic feedback while dragging between letters, and the jump bubble fades in and out

Apps

  • Tags are now removable chips instead of a comma-separated line

Appearance

  • Custom accent color: pick any hue, not just the six presets
  • Settings icon redrawn as the Void OS mark
  • New toggle: tint the settings and list icons with the accent color instead of grey
