[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, what's going on?

I sincerely hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday and a lovely Valentine's Day! ;)

I know its been some time since the last release, and I'd like to apologize for that. Life has just been extremely busy lately. Anyways, let's look at today's update and go into depth regarding what has changed with V11.1!

Toolbox Updater

Recently, I was looking through the code after reading that some users have had issues with updating to V11.0 from V10.2 and decided to look into it further to see if I could notice anything out of the ordinary that could cause an update to fail. I immedialty noticed a few things that I overlooked. First, when an update (and Micropatch) is installed it effectively upgrades the current installation to the new version. The flaw, can be found with the shortcuts and the installation's folder name.​

​

When an update completes the folder of the installation remains the same, and so do its shortcuts. What I'm getting at is the shortcuts and root folder name remains the same, even though they should be updated during the upgrade process. This results in the following issues:​

Installation Management in the Welcome Screen sees the current installation as a previous version, which may result in the user uninstalling the current installation accidentally.

May confuse the users as the shortcuts still claim to be from the previous version.

Shortcuts may fail to work properly as the files themselves have changed.

These issues have now been resolved. In addition, a bug was also found that was preventing updates from extracting successfully due to missing dependencies for the extraction program. Changes have also been made to the detection and application process for both micropatches and updates. I know I've said this before, but I finally do feel as if its where it needs to be and we should now be able to utilize the updater for future updates.​

Custom Sounds

Ever since the release of this tool, I've felt as if I could of done better when it came to the coding of this tool. Utilizing placeholders for the tasks section wasn't a good idea as It was slow, and not very reliable. I've taken the liberty of completely re-writing the tool with a more proper method utilizing loops instead. This is more efficient and really speeds things up, while also allowing you to apply the custom sound to as many items as you like (instead of the 3 selection limit the tool had in previous versions).​

Density Modifier

Ah, the Density Modifier... one of the earliest tools. When it comes to finding the best density for your device, it can be quite annoying having to launch the tool after each change to the density. This has been removed so the tool won't close after the density is changed, and will now properly show values of the current density, and the default density... making it easier to identify what the current value is and what the default value is before making a change.​

Lockscreen Management

in V11.1, I thought it would be a good idea to unify the lockscreen focused tools all in one easy to identify place. As a result, please know the Lockscreen Wallpaper, and Remove Lockscreen Ads tools have been moved to this new location. ​

Wait, that's not everything! If you are interested in everything that has changed in V11.1... please refer to the changelog below for more information!
