New Features

• Major UI overhaul with new design and icons. I have dropped material and darkKnight themes in favour for a unified theme with supoprt for dynamic colour or a custom color palette.
• New Bottom Navigation Bar with better navigation experience. The new navigation bar cateres to both experienced and new users with easy access to all the main sections of the app. I know a few of you might miss the old navigation bar, however after testing it with a few users, I found that the new navigation bar is more intuitive and easier to use for most users.
• Add parental controls to hide anti-feature apps.
• Added Brave & microG repos.
• Support for queued downloads and installations.
• Add per-app 'ignore updates' preference.

Improvements

• Unify and simplify the Updates screen and overhaul AppListItem UI/behavior.
• Added Android 16 (API 36) to SDK map.
• Added social tiles in userscreen.
