AVA 1.5.3

AVA 1.5.3 (versionCode 14)

app-release.apk — install directly on a phone (Unknown Sources must be allowed).
app-release.aab — upload this one to the Play Console.

Setup on a new phone: accept the permission prompts (microphone, phone, contacts, call log), allow the screen overlay and notifications, and turn battery optimisation OFF — otherwise Android kills the services and the button silently stops working.

Add the widget to the home screen. It is the main trigger, and installing an update can remove it.

For use without a signal, download the speech model once from the menu (~100 MB, over Wi-Fi). Without it there is no recognition when there is no connection.

VoIP contacts: put VIBER, WHATSAPP or SIGNAL as the last word of the contact name. No calibration and no Accessibility service required.
