What's New in this Build

  • Real-time Setup Progress Synchronization: Direct service-to-activity listener callbacks guarantee smooth progress reporting (0% -> 100%) during archive extraction, database provisioning, and server bootstrapping without UI stalls.
  • Android 14 & 15 Broadcast Intent Security: Explicit package targeting (setPackage(packageName)) ensures system broadcasts are never dropped under modern Android inter-process communication restrictions.
  • SQLite Canonical Symlink Resolution: Automatically resolves /data/data and /data/user/0 symlink mismatches during SQLite installation, preventing permission errors.
  • Embedded GD Library Compatibility: Native PHP GD stubs polyfill for headless mobile architectures, ensuring full compatibility across all Nextcloud app ecosystems without server crashes.
  • Pre-flight Storage & Permission Verification: Proactive validation of storage quotas (1.2 GB minimum) and external storage permissions before server initialization.
  • 16 KB Memory Page Size Support: Rebuilt native libraries with NDK r28 Clang; 100% of all 114 native .so files are aligned to 16 KB boundaries for mandatory Android 15/16/17 kernel support.
  • Zero OS Restrictions (Android 8.0 - 17): Resolved SELinux W^X execution denials by packaging executables (libphp.so, libphp-fpm.so, libnginx.so, libsqlite3_cli.so) directly into jniLibs/arm64-v8a/ extracted with execution rights.
  • Auto-Start on Boot: Supports Direct Boot mode after user unlock with specialUse foreground service.
