Universal ReVanced Manager v1.8.1-dev.15

v1.8.1-dev.15 (2026-04-24)

Features

• Added patch option import/export support for patch selection backups #417
• Blocked all in-app interaction while app/APK selection loading overlays are shown, including the Apps tab and app picker flow #429
• Updated dashboard delete confirmation dialogs to use the correct singular or plural wording for selected apps, patch bundles, and patch profiles #430
• Improved text-entry UX by auto-focusing dialog and search inputs, opening the keyboard automatically, and keeping input dialogs visible above the IME across patch bundle, search, and settings flows #373 #374
• Updated the split APK merge selection dialog to show the live selected module count in the Start merge action button #362
• Added a per-install installer selection mode that lets users choose the installer each time on the patcher and saved patched app flows #208
• Added a new Patcher logging setting with Default and Verbose modes ReVanced/revanced-manager#3287
• Remember the selected split merge preset across app sessions #303
• Added a Latest toggle to remote downloader plugin source settings so sources can update from the newest stable or pre-release GitHub release

Bug fixes

• Fixed split archive metadata resolution to use stricter device-matching split selection for app labels and icons
• Fixed split APK merging so remove-extras and native library cleanup preserve required ABI, language, and DPI splits when only one compatible config is available

Build types

LITE: ReVanced v22 and Morphe patcher runtimes included, AmpleReVanced and ReVanced v21 runtimes excluded.
FULL: Everything (ReVanced v22, v21, Morphe and AmpleReVanced patcher runtimes)

Tip

Excluding patcher runtimes reduces the app size. If you only use the latest ReVanced and Morphe patches, you should install the LITE build. If you use more than just the latest ReVanced and Morphe patches, consider installing the FULL build instead. Keep in mind that the in-app updater will only download the same build type you currently have installed. If you want to switch build types later, you’ll need to go to the GitHub releases page and download that build manually.

Features

• Bumped Morphe Patcher to 1.4.1

• Fixed framework cache recovery and bundled framework handling across all runtimes to prevent missing or corrupted framework cache patching failures
• Fixed duplicate Saved/Installed entries by collapsing matching saved variants after install when saved app overwrite is enabled #279

CI

• Updated manager release APK filenames to use canonical ABI labels such as arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, and universal, and updated the in-app updater/workflows to match the new asset names while preserving compatibility with older releases #428

Build types

LITE: ReVanced v22 and Morphe patcher runtimes included, AmpleReVanced and ReVanced v21 runtimes excluded.
FULL: Everything (ReVanced v22, v21, Morphe and AmpleReVanced patcher runtimes)
