Better Dual Screen Assistant Release Notes — 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
Version 1.1.0 delivers accurate foreground game FPS tracking, Celsius/Fahrenheit temperature switching, persistent background reliability, smoother touch and controller navigation in Companion Settings, full Game Assistant gesture compatibility, and an optional promotion to Better Dual Screen Manager.
🚀 New Features
- Accurate Game FPS Counter (c7f6c16): Adds an option in General Settings to measure the real frame rate of the active foreground game or app instead of global display page flips, along with smoother refresh-rate switching and controller button support on the Frame Rate card.
- Celsius & Fahrenheit Temperature Toggle (a334acb): Switch the CPU temperature readout between Celsius (
℃) and Fahrenheit (℉) from General Settings or by tapping the temperature card directly inside the bottom-screen overlay. - Cleaner Recents & Persistent Background Service (1509fdf): Hides the Companion Settings screen from the Android Recents list, automatically closes the settings window when you leave it to save memory, and keeps the assistant service running reliably even after using "Clear All" in Recents or memory cleaners.
- Streamlined Companion Settings Layout (49a0c50): Refines spacing across the top-screen settings interface so the interactive Quick Toggles preview, toggle selection sub-page, and reset option all fit comfortably on screen without scrolling.
- Promote to Better Dual Screen Manager (b557382): Adds a toggle in General Settings to promote the app to Better Dual Screen Manager across your launcher icon, settings header, and app labels — with the option to demote it back anytime.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Game Assistant Edge-Swipe & Screen Wake Compatibility (ce1b148): Fixes an issue where replacing the stock assistant could block the built-in Game Assistant right-edge swipe gesture or delay screen sleep and wake transitions, and ensures pressing Home only dismisses the assistant overlay when it is open.
- Touch Sub-Page Navigation & Controller Focus Stability (d8aefe6): Fixes touch navigation when entering and exiting settings sub-pages, and preserves controller selection smoothly while cycling through themes and accent colors.
