What's Changed

📦 Backup & Restore Hub (#412, #413)

The new Backup & Restore Hub transforms backup management from a hidden setting into a central, top-level experience accessible directly from the Home Bento:

• Automated Storage Scanning: Automatically scans Downloads/Thor, system MediaStore, and custom SAF directories for .thorbak, .xapk, .apks, and .apk archives without requiring root privileges.
• Archive Icon Extraction: ArchiveIconLoader extracts, decodes, and renders app icons directly from .thorbak and .apk archives with disk caching and bounded eviction.
• Filtering & Management: Search, filter by category (All, Data Backups, App Bundles), view detailed archive metadata, share files natively, or delete with confirmation.
• Instant Backup Triggering: Launch new backups directly from the hub using an integrated modal App Picker.
• Unified Intent Routing: Opening .thorbak files from "Install from file" or external file managers routes immediately to the restore sheet.

💾 Full App Data Backup & Restore Phase 2 (#379, #381, #385, #389)

Delivers end-to-end, offline, encrypted application data preservation:

• AES-256-GCM Authenticated Encryption: App data directories (/data/data/<package>), APKs, and external storage files are archived into encrypted .thorbak bundles.
• PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256 Key Derivation: Per-archive unique salt and cryptographic derivation protect your data. Passphrase caching stores an encrypted DataStore blob protected by AndroidKeyStore.
• WorkManager Foreground Sync: Background backup and export execution powered by Android WorkManager with FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC compliance, persistent progress notifications, and cancellation support. Backup staging verifies usable disk space before archiving begins.
• Safety Pre-flight Validation: Restoring performs package signature verification before touching app data.

⚙️ Customizable App Info Actions (#410)

Tailor the action bar in App Info sheets and details screens to your exact workflow:

• Drag-and-Drop Reordering: Rearrange quick action tiles (Freeze, Suspend, Force Stop, Permissions, Clear Cache, Backup, Export, Share, etc.) in any order.
• Visibility Toggles: Hide actions you don't use.
• Interactive Live Preview: Preview your custom action layout in real-time with an instant reset-to-default button.

🎮 Full .xapk & OBB Split Package Handling (#376, #378)

• Game & Multi-APK Support: Install and export .xapk split bundles with automated detection and placement of expansion assets (/Android/obb/<package>).
• Background Foreground Export: Long exports run as background foreground services with notification progress channels.

❄️ Freezer Action Differentiation & Watchlist Pruning (#370, #415)

• Differentiated Snowflake Labels: Explicitly names the action based on context — "Unfreeze & Remove" on the Freezer tab (restoring the app upon removal) vs "Remove from Watchlist" on the Apps tab (adjusting watchlist membership only).
• Automatic Watchlist Pruning: Uninstalled packages are automatically cleaned up from the watchlist based on cache scan verdicts.
• Atomic Profile Saves: Profile editor writes are secured with database transactions and error rollbacks.
• Per-Group Kill & Suspend: Execute mass kill or suspend operations directly on freeze profile member apps.

🌐 Comprehensive 8-Language Localization (#395, #397, #398, #400)

• Added Polish (pl) and Portuguese (European pt + Brazilian pt-rBR regional override).
• Backfilled and proofread Arabic, Spanish, French, and Simplified Chinese with 0 missing translations across all build flavours.

⚙️ Settings Reorganization & Tablet Multi-pane (#383)

• Reorganized settings into 6 clear categories: General, Appearance, Freezer, Work Mode, Data & Backup, and Advanced.
• Adaptive dual-pane navigation rail layout for large screens, foldables, and tablets.

📊 CSV App List Export with Formula Injection Guard (#371)

• Export your filtered, searched, or full app list to CSV directly from the filter sheet.
• Built-in protection against spreadsheet formula injection (RFC 4180 escaping and leading character neutering).
