⚠️ IMPORTANT — READ THIS FIRST

APK type has changed — please reinstall from the new build

This is not a normal in-place update.

Starting with v1.6.2, Tarumi ships as a proper release APK (app-release.apk):

  • New package id: com.tarumi.reader (previous GitHub builds used the debug package com.tarumi.reader.debug)
  • New release signing certificate (no longer the shared Android debug keystore)
  • Android will treat this as a different app — you cannot update the old debug APK over itself

What you should do

  1. Join Discord for help and the latest download link:
    👉 https://discord.gg/hVr5KNQRnk
  2. Before uninstalling, back up your data (so reading progress, bookmarks, and library survive the switch):
    Settings → Backup and restore → Create data backup
    Save the backup file somewhere safe (Files / Drive / PC) — you will need it after installing the new APK.
  3. Uninstall the old Tarumi / app-debug build on your device
  4. Download app-release.apk from this GitHub release (or from Discord if mirrors are posted there)
  5. Install the new release APK
  6. Restore your progress: open Tarumi → Settings → Backup and restore → Restore (pick the backup you saved in step 2)

If something looks wrong after install, open a ticket or ask in Discord first — we can walk you through the switch. Do not stay on old app-debug.apk builds; they will no longer receive the same release channel updates.

Tarumi v1.6.2 Changelog

Tarumi v1.6.2 is a release-channel build with R8 minify + resource shrink + code obfuscation, plus reader/parser fixes for animated AVIF, Hitomi GameCG, webtoon chapter flow, CGI typing, and splash polish.

🔒 Release build & protection

  • Ships as app-release.apk (not app-debug.apk)
  • Package: com.tarumi.reader · version 1.6.2 (versionCode 2168)
  • Minify + shrink resources enabled for release
  • R8 obfuscation enabled (removed -dontobfuscate); keep rules for Hilt, Room, parsers, Coil, WorkManager, MediaPipe, ACRA, etc.
  • Signed with a dedicated Tarumi release keystore (not the debug certificate)

🖼️ Animated AVIF / motion pages

  • Added Animated AVIF decoding path so moving/CGI-style pages play instead of freezing as a still
  • Image extension helpers recognize animated AVIF (avis and related markers)
  • Coil decoder wiring updated so animated AVIF is preferred when the file is animated

🎮 Hitomi — GameCG & animated galleries

  • GameCG Hitomi titles (e.g. galleries that were missing before) now map into the app as readable entries
  • Animated page files from Hitomi are handled so motion content can play in the reader

📖 Reader & webtoon loading

  • Webtoon / continuous reader: next-chapter auto-load no longer gets stuck after finishing a chapter
  • ChaptersLoader / PageLoader: stronger local-first page resolution for downloaded chapters (current + adjacent)
  • BasePageHolder: safer handling for animated / special image types when binding pages
  • ReaderViewModel: more reliable chapter boundary / next-chapter flow after the recent offline progress work

🏷️ CGI / motion comic typing

  • Home ComicTypeClassifier recognizes CGI / motion-style titles
  • Details screen uses a dedicated CGI type color chip so these titles stand out from plain manga/manhwa labels

✨ Splash screen polish

  • Status bar / system bars immersion improved on splash
  • Splash video + first-frame assets cropped so the status bar is not baked into the video artwork
  • Theme flags for Android 12+ splash surface cleaned up

🏠 Home recommendations (Manga Plus EN)

  • Fixed empty Manhua / Manga / Smart recommendation rails
  • Manga Plus is a single-page source (offset > 0 always returned empty). Home now always loads the full EN ranking, then slices different cards per rail in memory.

🔧 Other

  • Minor Ask AI ViewModel / AppModule wiring touch-ups for the new image decoders
  • Refresh / chapter-edge messaging cleaned up so false “content removed” style labels are less likely after normal chapter transitions

📦 Build

  • Bumped Tarumi to 1.6.2 (versionCode 2168)
  • Artifact: app-release.apk (minified, obfuscated, release-signed)

Again: uninstall the old debug build, join https://discord.gg/hVr5KNQRnk, then install this release APK.
