v0.2.3

What's New

🎨 Full OpenClaw Model Support

  • Now supports all model configurations from OpenClaw's official catalog (711+ models)
  • Easy setup with API Key or Setup Token - choose what works best for you
  • Static model catalog bundled in the app - no more "stuck loading models" issues

⚡ 10x Faster Gateway Startup

  • Gateway now starts in 5-15 seconds (down from 2-3 minutes!)
  • Eliminated nested proot/termux-chroot overhead that was causing delays
  • First Telegram message response improved from 4+ minutes to 10-30 seconds

📱 Reliable Background Operation

  • Bot stays responsive when app is in background or screen is locked
  • Smart battery settings guide: one-tap to configure unrestricted battery and background data
  • WiFi high-performance lock prevents connection drops during background operation
  • Service keep-alive ensures gateway monitoring continues automatically

🔧 Better OpenClaw CLI Access ⚠️ Breaking Change

  • openclaw command now works directly in SSH and Terminal sessions
  • No need to navigate to installation directory anymore
  • Previous shell sessions may need to be restarted to pick up the new PATH

📦 Significantly Smaller Package Size

  • APK size reduced through optimized bootstrap packaging
  • Faster installation and updates

🔄 Built-in Update Checker

  • Automatic update detection (checks once per 24 hours)
  • Manual "Check Update" button on launcher and setup screens
  • Always shows clear feedback: update available / no updates / check failed

Performance Improvements

  • IPv4 prioritization: Avoids IPv6 connection timeouts in Android/proot environments
  • Gateway port conflict resolution: Proper cleanup before starting prevents restart storms
  • Enhanced process detection: Checks both PID files and running processes for reliability

Stability & Reliability

  • No more restart loops when changing models - mutex lock prevents concurrent restart attempts
  • Auto-rebinding: Gateway monitor automatically reconnects when service is interrupted
  • Better error handling: Clear feedback when gateway fails to start or encounters issues

User Experience

  • Streamlined setup flow: Agent selection → OpenClaw installation → Model + API key → Telegram connection
  • Clearer onboarding: Users explicitly tap "Continue" to start - no auto-skipping permission screens
  • Improved dashboard: Shows current model correctly, allows model changes with optional API key updates
  • Friendly guidance: Recommendations instead of requirements, with helpful hints throughout

Technical Details

Known Limitations

  • First Telegram interaction may take 10-30 seconds on cold start; subsequent replies are instant
  • WiFi lock is best-effort; some OEM power managers may still throttle background networking
  • Breaking change: Previous Terminal/SSH sessions need restart to use openclaw command

Upgrade Notes

From v0.2.2:

  • All improvements are automatic
  • If gateway startup seems slow, it will self-optimize on first run
  • If bot stops responding in background, use the "Advanced Background Settings" button on launcher

From v0.2.1 or earlier:

  • ⚠️ Breaking: openclaw command now requires restarting Terminal/SSH sessions
  • This release includes all v0.2.2 setup improvements plus the v0.2.3 performance and stability fixes
  • Recommended: Review background settings using the new one-tap settings button
