Cocoon 3.0.1

As always, please make a backup before updating

New features

  • Pin apps from the Y menu to a new section at the top of the app drawer. Docked apps appear there automatically without app drawer pins changing the dock
  • Added an Android Games smart folder that automatically finds installed games, excludes non-game apps and supports Hide Game
  • Added an option to change the default games folder used when Cocoon automatically finds folders for newly added platforms (this will be expanded soon to allow full migration to a new ROM folder, for example, when you transfer your entire ROMs folder from one storage to another)
  • Added subtle animated wallpapers for Cocoon's built-in Light, Dark and OLED themes
  • Added an option in System & Advance to skip Cocoon's animated startup splash
  • Added unsaved-changes warnings to settings and menus that require confirmation

Navigation, touch and displays

  • Made Home page swiping more reliable and added touch support to the page arrows
  • Added touch controls across Music, Last Played, Playtime, Picnic and Now Playing widgets
  • Made Pods fully touch-navigable, including swiping between Single-Screen sections
  • Added touch support to Verbose Session controls, including session icons, page arrows and game tiles
  • Adding a ROM folder now returns controller focus correctly after the Android folder picker
  • Apps now open on the secondary screen by default (or on the screen where Now Playing is (same with app drawer) and can be overridden with a toggle in the Context menu (toggle is also now in App Drawer and they both share the preference)
  • Explicit Top and Bottom launch choices now work properly from the app drawer
  • Added full controller navigation for opening and clearing notifications
  • Notifications cleared in Cocoon or Android now disappear from both
  • Fixed analog and digital controller triggers activating twice from one pull
  • Cocoon no longer changes AYN Thor display focus or keyboard-pinning settings when using Single-Screen mode (fixes auto-lock / home&back setting changes, thx AYN 🙄)

App drawer, folders and grid

  • App drawer searches now remain visible in a dedicated search bar
  • Updated the app drawer to a cleaner five-column layout with wider side margins
  • New platform smart folders use system-inspired colors, while other smart folders follow your accent
  • Folder icon overlays now appear immediately when opening a folder
  • Sorting options now work properly inside smart folders
  • Simplified Single-Screen settings and made all five grid row counts available
  • Removing a tile in page mode now keeps you on the same page and position
  • Removing an Android shortcut now removes only that Home or folder copy; the final copy is clearly labelled Delete Shortcut
  • Game context menus now follow the current grid selection after returning from the app drawer
  • Widgets now use the same sizing and spacing as game and folder tiles
  • Grid resets and organization changes now use each widget's smallest supported size instead of forcing unsupported 1x1 tiles
  • Cocoon now safely repairs stale grid data at startup without rebuilding healthy layouts
  • Built-in platforms no longer show the Delete Platform option, preventing repeated repair warnings

Visual, artwork and audio fixes

  • Refreshed the built-in Pods with new logos, hero artwork, screenshots and descriptions
  • Resized game tiles now reload hero and logo artwork at the resolution they need
  • Glass tiles and shadows now remain visible while swiping by touch
  • Fixed the startup video stretching on non-16:9 screens
  • Fixed the 2x2 Playtime widget graph overlapping its weekly summary and cutting off the minutes label on five-row grids
  • Fixed Cocoon music not starting after a cold launch
  • Animated folder icons and Home screen audio now resume reliably after sleep, animations continue while the dock is focused, and icons no longer flicker when first selected
  • The Corners and Corners (Animated) selection styles now match the shape of resized game tiles
  • Restored the X/Delete action for downloaded themes and assets, with deleted items leaving the list immediately
  • Removed single-screen colour gradient at top of grid

Stability and performance

  • Fixed Single-Screen information freezing or crashing, including Android apps without logo artwork
  • Fixed repeated Flutterkey-related crashes around Home, Settings and Pods
  • Fixed crashes when quickly browsing large or regex-heavy folders
  • Fixed crashes while scraping large libraries
  • Games no longer open with an incompatible player when the selected player does not support their file type
  • Steam integrations now stay connected across sleep and wake
  • Discord & Steam now successfully initialises after boot, showing friend count quickly
  • Improved database updates to reduce stale grids, missing tiles and partial saves when several changes happen at once

Misc

  • Neo Geo platform can now have achievements scraped

  • Added further performance, memory-use and power-drain improvements throughout Cocoon!! Once again pretty huge. A lot of bugs to do with sleep drain and high power drawer have been fixed. Cocoon should be snappier and lighter than ever
