Arkikeskus Launcher 0.6.5 — a reliability, compatibility and polish release from a full code audit.

Reliability

  • Backup restore is hardened. A corrupt or hand-edited backup file can no longer hang or crash the launcher: out-of-range pages/cells and duplicate entries are rejected, widget sizes are clamped to the grid.
  • Settings survive file corruption. A damaged preferences file now resets to defaults instead of leaving the home screen unable to start.
  • Reducing home columns keeps your widgets. Repacking the grid now reserves each widget's footprint, so icons are moved around widgets instead of being buried under them.
  • Google Drive backup failures are now visible. If automatic backup stops working (e.g. revoked access), you get a warning on the Backup screen and a notification instead of it failing silently.

Compatibility

  • Icons fit narrow screens. App, dock and drawer icons now scale to the column width, so 6–7 columns no longer overlap on smaller phones.
  • Home stays in portrait. The grid is now portrait-locked on phones (large screens and unfolded foldables are unaffected).
  • Better on Android 11–12. Signal bars keep working when phone-state permission is denied; the Bluetooth and NFC indicators refresh correctly; Android 11 gets the proper "default home app" dialog.
  • Right-to-left languages fixed. Dragging icons on the home screen now works correctly in RTL locales.

Status bar

  • Wi-Fi band. The Wi-Fi indicator now shows the band (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz) beneath it, like the mobile signal generation.

Other

  • Pluralised counts, localised accessibility labels, and a notification-listener auto-rebind so dots and status icons recover on aggressive battery managers.
