VersionOS 2.0.0 is a high-performance Android launcher designed for those who value speed, privacy, and technical purity. It delivers a modern smartphone experience within an impossible 60 KB footprint by stripping away all external libraries and returning to pure Android SDK development.

✨ Key Features (v2.0.0 "Widget & Privacy Update")

🖼️ Advanced Widget Hosting (NEW)

  • Precision Layout: Manually adjust Widget position (Y-offset), width scale, and height with active collision avoidance to prevent overlapping with system UI.
  • Stability: State-persistent storage and Smart View Recycling ensure smooth resizing without flickering or data loss (e.g., scroll position stays intact).

🔒 Enhanced Privacy & Security (NEW)

  • PIN Protection: Secure your hidden apps list with a numeric PIN code.
  • Hidden App Launcher: A dedicated, password-protected portal to launch apps that are hidden from the main list.
  • Deep Filtering: Automatically excludes the launcher itself from the app list for a cleaner experience.

🎨 Intelligent Theming

  • Four Distinct Modes: Default (Glass), OLED Black, Snow White, and the all-new AOSP Style.
  • AOSP Style Evolution:
    • Native Experience: Features a 5-column grid layout that perfectly matches the 5-icon dock.
    • Clean Desktop: Automatically hides the main search bar and stats widget for a distraction-free home screen.
    • Adaptive Grid: 5xN grid layout for the App Drawer with optimized spacing for modern screen ratios.

🔍 Unified Search & App Drawer

  • Hybrid Interface: A single, lightning-fast interface for searching apps.
  • Smart Fallback: If no local app is found, pressing 'Enter' instantly performs a web search via your default browser.
  • Multi-Component Support: Optimized indexing for apps with multiple entry points (clones/shortcuts).

🛠 Professional Customization

  • Icon Studio:
    • Interactive Cropping: Manual pan and zoom to perfectly frame your custom icons.
    • Universal Adaptive Icons: Retrofits Circle/Rounded Square masking for devices running Android 5.0+, ensuring a modern look on legacy hardware.
  • Label Editing: Rename apps directly from the home screen for a personalized aesthetic.

👆 Intuitive Gestures

  • Smart Swipe (AOSP Mode):
    • Swipe Up: Instantly call the App Drawer.
    • Adaptive Interception: Intelligently distinguishes between widget interaction and system gestures.
  • System Gestures:

📊 Real-Time Telemetry

  • Hardware Stats: Capsule-design widget monitoring Battery Level, RAM usage, and Storage (ROM) status.
  • Optimized Monitoring: Replaced legacy CPU polling with event-driven Battery Broadcasts to minimize CPU wakeups and maximize device standby time.

🚀 Technical Philosophy: "Mechanical Sympathy"

  • Zero-Cost UI: Employs ViewOutlineProvider for native hardware-layer corner clipping.
  • Memory Management: Manual Bitmap recycling and LruCache sizing based on 1/8 of available system RAM.
  • High-Speed Indexing: Transitioned from $O(N \cdot M)$ list iterations to $O(1)$ map lookups for all UI components.
  • Compatibility: Supports Android 5.0 (API 21) up to the latest Android 17+ (Target SDK 37).

📝 Interaction Guide

  • Clock: Tap to open Alarm/Clock.
  • Date: Tap to open Calendar.
