One UI 8.5 support for our projects

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to Korea early this month and widened the rollout to many countries and models, starting from the Galaxy S25. This is a big moment for those who are owning the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but others will have to wait until it’s their turn.

We are currently planning the One UI 8.5 support for our projects, and our evaluations have concluded that One UI 8.5 is still suffering from the library dependency loading problem that One UI 6.1 broke when it comes to starting up PulseAudio with the below command:

Nitrocid, Terminaux, BassBoom, and all other projects will be tested under this environment over the course of our official support duration. However, in One UI 8.5, PulseAudio needs to be loaded like this:

As of today, we are excited to announce that One UI 8.5 is now fully supported for our projects starting May 28th! We are very thrilled to provide official support for those who are using our projects in One UI 8.5. We can now guarantee that our projects work under this version of One UI that was first unveiled to the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 devices before the official rollout started.

We are now officially supporting One UI 8.5 in our projects!

Chocolatey package modifications for Nitrocid and BassBoom

The Chocolatey package method was first introduced in Nitrocid while we were trying to find ways to get users to be able to more easily try it out without having to manually unpack the ZIP file. Our efforts led to creating more installation methods for our apps, with the latest effort being the introduction of the WinGet installation method for Nitrocid and BassBoom.

However, we needed to maintain consistency when dealing with both Chocolatey and WinGet package methods to install our apps. The WinGet package method for our apps used the WiX installer, which was introduced with Nitrocid v0.1.2 last year.

Now, we are very excited to announce that we have changed the Chocolatey packages to use the new installation method instead of the older ZIP file method. Using WiX as the installer, you can now easily launch Nitrocid and BassBoom once you install it from Chocolatey packaging. Currently, it’s presented as a test drive to make sure that things run smoothly.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 SP1 and 0.1.0 SP7 are now available with FreeBSD support!

Since the release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 on February 2026, we have made several improvements across several versions that improve your experience in different ways, including security updates that were released for different sets of libraries, and the utilization of Terminaux that now uses Colorimetry.

As part of the availability of our projects to FreeBSD systems, we’ve released several new versions of libraries in the span of a month, and we were working hard for it to ensure that our libraries and applications are usable on FreeBSD systems. SpecProbe, Magico, BassBoom, and Terminaux have been updated to support FreeBSD.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the first service pack of Nitrocid v0.2.0 and the seventh service pack for Nitrocid v0.1.0 versions are now available for download! This service pack is a rather small service pack but sets a significant milestone for those who are using FreeBSD. Those service packs were results of our earlier work regarding FreeBSD.

For more information about the two releases, as well as the installation instructions, please consult the below Aptivi Newsroom article.

We have updated our support for operating systems for our projects!

Please note that we won't be able to publish new N-KS and BB PPA packages due to ongoing sustained attacks to Canonical's infrastructure. We appreciate your patience.

SpecProbe v3.8.1 will provide initial support for FreeBSD!

When SpecProbe was first released, we have always supported Linux, macOS, and Windows systems to help application developers more effortlessly build applications that rely on platform-specific code paths or parse hardware information.

The next version of SpecProbe will provide initial support for FreeBSD systems, which is a major milestone, given that FreeBSD wasn’t one of our supported platforms during the lifetime of our projects.

Currently, development of v3.8.1 is progressing with the addition of FreeBSD support for software and for native library loading functions. However, hardware parsing is work in progress for FreeBSD systems.

When we release this version of SpecProbe, we’ll let you know. To learn more, read this newsroom article:
