Shhh-inka, we broke the silence!
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's 404. Yes, it's not found. We're returning to the ground after several months you bid us off.
We had been holding our tongues for quite a bit and can now finally scream that Shinka - our latest release based on Android 12.1 is here!
The same ideology (psst, can be found on our brand-new website) and craftsmanship you expect from this project,
we don't need to repeat it again, you know it we know it. ;)
Let us go through the fine print & nitty gritty.
New Features!
- We tried sprucing up the settings. Just like our Android 11 take, we added circle as an element to toss some spice in the bag.
The stock layout felt a bit boring. A literal spinoff, kek.
- It's raining volume panel redesigns, and here's our best take at it.
Ergonomic, reachable, functional, isn't this we all wanted from Google?
They'll ring a bell
- For the lazy lads, face unlock implementation is here! And now it covers a broader spectrum of authentication prompts.
Oh, and quick unlock helps you breeze through those pesky tap button. Love that!
- Just a glance is enough. Edge lighting from older versions is back! Be it a couch or a table,
the soothing-coloured waves should be enough to catch your attention, or maybe someone else's too. Hehe.
- Flashing custom kernels for the sake of tweaking your screen? Forget that, we have color balance adjustments
right within the settings. Nice, no?
- Chop the extras like a chef, and style like a designer - statusbar tuner and battery shapes are in the store as well.
- Hello, hello, hello? We've all been there. That's why we tossed in-call vibrations into the pan.
- We need our Caffeine, and so do you! You guessed it right, the caffeine tile is back to assist in one of those situations.
- Check on the time and weather with just a couple of taps. Double tap to trigger doze looks astonishing with the seamless Android 12.1 animations and dynamic font!
- Toss the accidental screen records into trash right from the notification bar. Saves a couple of GBs if you're like us and hit record at the wrong moment. Hehe.
- Block thy leechers-Shield your data usage with per app runtime internet permissions. Also, we added hotspot setting that allows VPN upstreams.
- Use your phone as a desk clock with the AOD which charging implementation.
- Zip, zap, zoom - advance reboot menu lets you enter special modes in just a few taps. Squeezing volume buttons is a thing of the past. You'll thank us for this.
Performance Pack Upgrades!
- Master brickports make their way into our organization to help improve the system efficiency and speed. Experience the ludicrous speed. ;)
- Merge it all: The latest tags from CodeLinaro have been pasted on the 404 source. Translates to latest security patch, enhancements for your Snapdragon devices. Haha yes.
- Bug fixes for Able media player make their way into the source as well.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes here and there.
