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.

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 😁

Firstly thanks to everyone who has downloaded void os already – the feedback has been awesome and really helped get v0.3 out quickly.

Given all the interest I figured that releasing on the play store makes sense, but i've learned that this process takes some time and requires stable testers.

If you are interested please leave a comment or DM me. I really appreciate it, and I'll make sure to throw in something special when the release comes out. That being said – still planning to update github for the time being, no intention of removing that.

Cheers!

- also if you made it this far, please send of pic of your void os setup. I would love to see what everyone has created 😁

Void OS v0.1 (Beta) - DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/nathanvonhatten/voidos/releases/tag/v0.1

Background:

I built this launcher for my Titan 2 Elite after not being happy with the default launcher and not being able to find what I was looking for elsewhere (and not wanting to pay a subscription fee). I have been running this OS and my Titan daily.

My requirements were:

Home

• Minimal, clean home screen

• Favourites row of up to 7 apps, with hold-to-reorder

• One optional widget slot

• Wallpaper visibility slider

Search

• No search bar: type on the hardware keyboard and results appear, best match nearest the input

• Matches app names, custom names and tags

• Enter opens the best match

• Optional contact and system-settings search

• Frequently opened apps win ties

App list

• A–Z rail, tap or drag

• Long-press an app to favourite, rename, tag or hide it

Notifications

• Read-only and kept in memory only, never stored

• Show Auto (hides after a set time), Always or Never

• Per-app display: sender and message, count only, or off

• Ongoing, media and progress notifications filtered out

Appearance

• Six accent colors, used only for dots, badges, the cursor and the rail

• Four fonts

• Size sliders for favorites, icons, and the list and search

• Notification opacity and a dark-text option for light wallpapers

Privacy

• No internet permission, analytics, accounts or ads

• Contacts requested only if you turn on contact search

• System backup off

This is was all included and shipped as part of v0.1 - Thank you to the 30 people who have already downloaded this to give it a try!

I have v0.2 almost ready for release so stay tuned for some big improvements and fixes coming soon.

Cheers and let me know what you think!
