v1.2.8Current
MAY 12, 2026
Stops hijacking lock-screen + Galaxy Watch controls. Notification "Turn Off" syncs the app. New Pro feature tutorial. Crash fixes for boot, test tones, and load profile.
Pausing YouTube or Spotify no longer replaces their controls with the EQ on your lock screen, notification shade, or Galaxy Watch. Your music app keeps the media controls — Enhanced EQ stays out of the way unless audio is actively flowing through it.
Tapping "Turn Off" in the notification now correctly flips the in-app ON/OFF pill, even when the app was in the background. Before, the EQ would stop but the UI still showed it as ON until you tapped the pill manually.
Settings page no longer shows a huge gray block under the PROFILES card — a tutorial overlay was leaking when Settings opened in its own route.
Tutorial expanded with coach-marks for the Pro features so you can see what unlocks at a glance: Rumble (sub-bass), Punch (mid-bass impact), 8D Spatial (orbital stereo), and Auto-EQ (match 8,850+ headphone profiles to the Harman target curve).
The ON/OFF Power button highlight in the tutorial now hugs the pill exactly — the halo was offset on devices with cramped header layouts due to the scaleDown transform.
Crash fixes: BootReceiver no longer crashes on Android 12+ when the system blocks foreground-service starts from boot; Test Tones (pink noise / sine sweep) no longer crash when you rapid-start/stop them; Load Profile dialog no longer crashes on legacy/corrupted profiles where a numeric field got saved as a boolean.
Fewer freezes on older or budget phones. Heavy audio engine + battery permission calls now run off the main thread, so the app stays responsive instead of getting an "App not responding" warning.
Liking or unliking a community preset now moves the count by 1, not 2.
v1.2.7Past
MAY 8, 2026
Stability + battery — fixes Per-App Profiles freeze and saves up to 70% battery during silent gaps.
Fixed freeze when opening Per-App Profiles on Realme, OPPO, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Tecno phones.
Fixed crash caused by apps with broken emoji in their names.
Up to 70% less battery drain when nothing is playing — wake lock now releases during silent gaps.
Auto-recovers if aggressive battery managers (MIUI / EMUI / ColorOS / HiOS) kill the service in the background.
On Tecno / Infinix / Itel devices: honest warning shown — these chipsets bypass system effects, try Bluetooth output for full DSP.
Now starts cleanly on Huawei devices without Google Mobile Services.
Auto-preamp prevents digital clipping when boosting EQ bands — the input is now pre-attenuated by the highest peak so a +3 dB shelf at 20 Hz can't push hot masters past 0 dBFS.
Master Gain now also takes effect on the legacy fallback path used on devices where Android's DynamicsProcessing engine isn't available (Honor MagicOS, Tecno HiOS, older Android).
UI polish — Pro upgrade card title fits properly in long-translation locales (Russian, German, French, etc.); Cancel button on the Activate Promo Code dialog now translates; oversized Best-Value badge wrapped over the price in 10 languages.
Visualizer runs lighter — poll rate reduced from ~30 fps to ~20 fps so budget Android devices don't lag while the spectrum is on screen.

APR 21, 2026
Cleaner audio — bass is tighter and less muddy, highs are clearer with no harshness.
Cleaner audio — bass is tighter and less muddy, highs are clearer with no harshness.
Sharper parametric EQ — narrow peaks and notches now actually sound as sharp as they look.
Smoother slider drags — no more tiny zipper or stair-step noise when adjusting bands.
Better Loudness slider — at low listening volumes the mix now feels full instead of just louder.
Steeper Low Pass / High Pass / LR2 / LR4 cutoffs — slope steepness closer to advertised dB/oct.
Existing profiles get the upgrade automatically — no re-saving needed.

v1.2.4Past
2026
NEW: 10D Spatial Motion — multi-axis cinematic mode with 4 presets (Cinema, Concert, Surround, Meditation), bass-anchor toggle, and tunable intensity + speed. Real DSP layered on top of the 8D engine, not buzzword marketing.

3 new reverb presets: Spring (guitar-amp tank), Shimmer (long ethereal cloud), Gated (80s drum production). Cathedral preset rebuilt with much longer decay and lower diffusion for true echoey stone-cathedral feel.
Reverb, 10D, and other Pro effects now correctly disengage when a temporary Pro unlock expires — no more lingering reverb tail after the 24-hour window ends.
Fixed brief audio glitch + repeated "EQ active and running normally" banner that triggered every time the app was resumed from the notification pane or task switcher.
Reduced interstitial ad frequency — fires every 10th preset apply (was 5th) with a 3-min cooldown (was 2-min). Roughly 60% fewer interruptions while you tweak.
Pre-emptively dropped READ_MEDIA_AUDIO request (we never read media files) for stricter Google Play policy compliance
Hotfix: picking an Auto-EQ profile no longer blanks the parametric EQ canvas (bundled-snapshot field-shape mismatch)
Visualizer engine rebuilt for performance: per-bin asymmetric smoother (slow-thump lows, snappy-transient highs), adaptive spectral-flux onset detector, decoupled canvas repaint (no more full-tree rebuild at 30 Hz), typed Float64List buffers, O(1) spectrogram history, cached colormap LUTs, reused Paint instances across all painters
v1.2.2Past
2026
Switched community profile photo selection to the system Android Photo Picker — no broad photo/media permission needed (Google Play "Photo and Video Permissions" policy compliance)

New "Manage Ad Consent" entry in Settings → Legal & Feedback for withdrawing or changing consent at any time
Privacy Policy expanded with full GDPR rights, California (CCPA/CPRA) rights, advertising-ID disclosure, and data retention sections
Fixed crash: Google avatar image fails (offline / DNS) no longer surfaces a fatal exception in Crashlytics
Fixed native abort on Android 8.1 OPPO/vivo (libaudioclient.so linkToDeath) by lowering AudioEffect priority on legacy SDKs
Fixed MissingLibraryException for libflutter.so on cloned/sideloaded installs by extracting native libs at install time
Reduced startup ANR risk by deferring AdMob/UMP initialisation until after the first frame paints
Bumped Google Sign-In and In-App Purchase plugins to fix SignInHubActivity / ProxyBillingActivity null-intent NPEs

New VU-meter style band sliders with a thick fill below the dot and a faint ghost line above
Themed slider dots that follow your primary color
Wider touch targets on every band for easier grabbing without shifting the visible track
Smoother drag performance: curve redraws in lock-step with the thumb and settings saves are batched to reduce frame jank
