- **Anti-Uninstall Improvements**:
- Introduced granular settings to protect Device Admin, Usage Stats, Accessibility, and Overlay settings from being tampered with.
- Implemented recursive node inspection in `AppLockAccessibilityService` to detect and block access to AppLock's "App Info" and uninstallation pages.
- Added extensive class name mappings for Samsung and stock Android settings pages to improve detection reliability.
- Updated `AdminDisableActivity` to explicitly remove active admin status upon verified deactivation.
- **Lock Screen & Security**:
- Improved `PasswordOverlayActivity` to block Home and Recents button bypasses by listening for system dialog closures.
- Added display of the locked app's icon and a "Continue to [App Name]" header on the lock screen for better UX.
- Enhanced immersive mode settings to hide system UI and disable gestures while the lock screen is active.
- Implemented a more robust `isServiceRunning` check across different backend implementations.
- **UI & UX**:
- Refactored `AppIntroScreen` to require both Accessibility and Usage Stats permissions regardless of the selected locking method to ensure anti-uninstall features work correctly.
- Updated `SettingsScreen` to sync state with the repository on resume and pre-fetch string resources.
- Improved the toggling behavior of setting items using the `toggleable` modifier for better accessibility.
- **Technical Changes**:
- Updated `AppLockAccessibilityService` to run as a foreground service with `systemExempted` type where applicable.
- Switched `SharedPreferences` operations to use `commit = true` for immediate data persistence in critical settings.
- Expanded accessibility event types to include `typeWindowContentChanged` and `typeWindowsChanged` for better UI monitoring.
