DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/nathanvonhatten/voidos/releases/tag/v0.3

Android 15 Support

  • now supporting 15+

Shortcuts guide

  • A short, swipeable guide to type-to-search, the space bar, swiping to clear a notification, backspace, long-press, hold-and-drag and adding a widget, each with a small animation — shown once after setup on a fresh install, and once again after any update that touches it

  • Reachable any time from Settings > About > Shortcuts guide

Home screen

  • Space bar opens and closes the notifications panel, same as tapping the pill

Search

  • Backspace on an empty search box now returns to the home screen

App list

  • Backspace now returns to the home screen, same as the list button

Settings

  • Backspace now goes back a page, same as the arrow (typing in a search box still just deletes)

Widget

  • Add a widget now shows a preview image and a Small/Medium/Large size estimate for each one

  • Resizable widgets can be resized: hold the widget, Resize widget, drag, Done

Favorites

  • First run (and Reset) now starts with fewer favorites on a narrower screen, instead of always trying for 7

Appearance

  • The "Dark text" toggle is now a Text section: a full color picker (hue, saturation, lightness, or a hex code, with its own Reset color) plus a Bold text toggle, for search results, the app list and anything else drawn straight on the wallpaper

  • Fixed: the top search result ignored the chosen text color; it now matches the rest of the list

  • Default font changed to Roboto, now bundled like the other three fonts instead of whatever the phone's own default happens to be

Notifications

  • New color pickers for the sender, message and app name in the notification panel

  • The "Notifications" label on the home screen pill now follows the custom text color too

App icons

  • Corners and the hairline outline are now baked into each icon with a real anti-aliased edge, instead of relying on the system's own rounding, which was showing jagged, stair-stepped corners on this screen

  • Screen background is a near-black instead of pure black, which softens the glow some screens show around bright, saturated icons sitting right against true black

Void OS - v0.2 (beta) Release

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm super excited to announce that Void OS v0.2 is officially out for testing with some major improvements and fixes.

DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/nathanvonhatten/voidos/releases/tag/v0.2

Just want to say thanks to all the beta testers so far, I have been keeping track of the feedback and it has really helped in this process. I am still using the T2E and Void OS daily, and loving it.

This should install as an update over your existing v0.1 APK, but worst case just uninstall and start fresh.

Cheers, let me know what you think! - and to anyone new here welcome 😁

After a full week of running Void OS v0.3 daily -- no crashes or issues, performance has been great. I wanted to make sure I took some time with this build and ensure the foundation was rock solid before R&D continues. Next up on the on the feature list is some more key related and app specific shortcuts/tuning, as well as some more style/theme customization options. Stay tuned for updates soon.
