VISOR - v2024_11_10

• Initial actual release, now with connection to the PC version of VISOR.

Full Changelog: v2023_02_01...v2024_11_10

NOTE: ignore the "app created for old Android version" warning when installing! That enables me to use system features now locked on newer Android releases!

NOTE 2: go to the Home screen and click the button to allow all permissions to the app. It will stop saying warnings about modules. After that click Terminate app for the app to restart.

Note 3: use with the server version I mentioned on the first line. Then you'll have full funcionality. And use the PC app (also above) first to know what each screen does.

VISOR - v2023_02_01

Main changes:

• Call contacts command added (finally - just waited 3 years...), a command of confirmation, and another one of rejection, after the commands detection module upgrade.
• Interactive commands are now possible (and again, finally.... 3 years waiting XD), with the first one being the contacts one (the first one that needs it - can't be calling random people by mistake...).
• If you request a call to one of the contacts, VISOR will request your confirmation before attempting to call the number. Use the other 2 added commands to confirm or reject. There's also no need to explicitly reject a confirmation request - it will be forgotten automatically in 60 seconds if you don't confirm it (or if you request any other command, the previous request will be forgotten instantly).

VISOR - v2023_01_17

Decided to release this one because of the commands list change on the list below.

Main changes:

• Added a place with a list of all available commands, finally. Note: very few of of them are not yet implemented (make a call, record a video, and take a picture only on Android KitKat and below). Not sure why I left them listed...
• Added possibility to fast reboot and reboot into bootloader.
• Advanced Commands Detection library updated. Now it will be possible to create commands dynamically, like maybe contact commands ("make a call to [one of the contacts]").

VISOR - v2022_12_29

On the outside, not much can be seen changed, but there were many internal improvements.

PS: on th 2nd latest commit I mention INCORRECTLY that "Device Admin is attempted to be forced every time the application or the Main Service start.". Or partially incorrect. It's true that it's attempted, but I've disabled the attempts - on the code, it just calls an empty function, to indicate it's ready (I've tested it, it works), but it's disabled (function empty). All permissions can be forced too, but it's all disabled until I can have VISOR letting the user choose if they want VISOR to keep forcing all permissions or just some or something.

Main changes:

• Values Storage added to be seen like the Modules Status or the Dev Mode, containing global app-used values (or not, sometimes - phone call and messages numbers are not for anything, yet, for example)
• If you click on the main app notification, you will be brought to the app
• If you ask something to VISOR but you don't have sound enabled on the phone, it will bypass that and speak anyway --> but only if you ask something. Example, "what time is it?", and you have the phone on Do Not Disturb because you were sleeping - VISOR will bypass sound restrictions and tell you the time. If you request something, it will just do it without speaking. It will only speak if the only thing it needs to do to follow your order is speak.
• I've added a bug.... (lol) which I haven't fixed yet. If you request VISOR to record audio, it can only do it if you have sound enabled while requesting (either through text or voice - you just need sound enabled for it to speak. Needs some time before starting to record, and seems the time to say "Starting now, sir." is enough. Will get this fixed some time.)
• Updated app icons
• In case VISOR can't speak about some command (Do Not Disturb, Vibration mode, whatever), a notification will appear with what was going to be said.
• Taking photos is now possible on KitKat and below. Haven't taken care of taking photos on Lollipop and newer (for KitKat and below was easier - I used old code I had for the previous unpublished version of this app, before I reorganized the code from scratch).
• The background recognizer now uses the HOTWORD audio source, which means it won't prevent other apps from using the microphone anymore. Before this, I remember I couldn't make Whatsapp or Discord calls because the microphone was already in use --> no more. This audio source makes the app separate the microphone from the other apps (phone calls always worked though - those are special).
• Battery state detection improved.
• Background recognition files added, high and low quality --> reason for the current 100 MB of the app.
• Each module is checked for proper support now, including permissions. Previously, if you didn't grant any mandatory permissions for the module to work on a minimal level (supposing the Camera Manager could already record videos, it wouldn't need audio forcibly to work. Just the Camera permission. Audio is secondary), the module would still start, and probably crash the app or something. No more, hopefully.

PS: this above is missing one commit. I released a problematic version, so I deleted it, commited the fix, and release it again, and this didn't update the commit list - the one missing is 9ccbbfe.

Assist_C_A - v2021_12_29

List of changes (I would describe what changed, but I'm releasing APKs with much time between each one, so infinite new things are introduced in each update - I'll just say the below):

• Commulative update including 127 commits after v2021_06_27

Note: it's a debug APK, but it's signed with my certificate (it's still of debug type so it can be debugged using a debugger).
