January’25 Updates

In the past couple of weeks, a lot of improvements have been made to the existing features, and I am happy to announce that v4.0.0 will be released in the next week. Writing changelog for 5 different platforms is not an easy task, but I’m almost finished writing the in-app changelog which is, by far, the most complicated one. Testers have also done a good job in reporting potential issues and fixes were made promptly.
As App Manager is built on the principles of open source, privacy and security, and (according to the last poll) almost 60% of the users are using App Manager for privacy, I’ll be focusing more on improving the most crucial projects that App Manager depend on in regards to privacy, such as ADL and Android Libraries. Advanced users and community members are encouraged to contribute to the ADL project since all the related projects are now more-or-less dead. ADL project, compared to App Manager, is a very small project and does not require any coding or programming skills. You may need to have some knowledge about JSON which is very easy to learn. I’d ask every one of you to try to contribute at least once a month to the ADL project to accelerate the process of listing and reviewing the bloatware in Android. Once we can bring it to a stable position, the maintenance would be quite easy.
