❄️ FrostWire 2.9.6 for Android is here – Faster, Safer, Smoother.

We just released FrostWire 2.9.6 (Build 748) and it’s more responsive than ever. This update brings performance improvements, upgraded libraries, and an important fix to avoid freezes when sorting large search result sets.


🔧 What's new in 2.9.6

  • Fix: Avoid ANR (freeze) when sorting massive search result sets
  • Sorting is now done asynchronously to keep the UI responsive, even with thousands of results.
  • 🧠 Updated yt-dlp to version 2025.03.31 for improved video/audio compatibility.
  • 📦 Dependency upgrades for performance and security:
  • androidx.core:core1.16.0
  • firebase-bom33.12.0
  • applovin-sdk13.2.0
  • unityads-adapter4.14.1.0
  • com.google.android.ump3.2.0
  • Kotlin plugin and stdlib → 2.0.21
  • Gradle wrapper → 8.11.1
  • Android Gradle Plugin → 8.8.2

🚀 Why this matters

This update is all about smoother performance and reliability. If you’ve ever experienced lag or freezes when handling large search result lists, this version eliminates that pain point. We’ve moved sorting logic to a background thread, keeping the app snappy and responsive on all devices.
