April 2026 Update

For this month's update, we've incorporated the April security patch from android-security-16.0.0_r5 into Android 16 QPR2. Alongside that, we've also included a set of improvements and fixes focused on usability, polish, and everyday quality-of-life enhancements.

As always, detailed changelogs can be found on our changelogs page.

Changes

• Google Dialer call recording should now work properly for users who previously had issues with it.
• Flashlight brightness slider has been brought back on supported devices, giving control over flashlight strength. You can access it from Quick Settings
• We added an overlay to fix footer button overlap on devices with low-positioned under-display fingerprint sensor.
• The Wi-Fi tile no longer incorrectly shows Mobile Data information.
• We’ve also fixed a few miscellaneous crashes and included other minor improvements across the system.
