Modernizing Haven for 2026 (Android 14+ Support via Neruppu)

Hi @guardianproject team and community,

I have been a long-time user and admirer of Haven. Noticing the challenges with maintaining support for modern Android versions (API 34+) and the need for a "clean slate" architecture, I have spent the last few days building a spiritual successor to help carry this vision forward.

I am sharing it here as a resource for the community and a potential codebase for future collaboration.

Project Name: Neruppu (Fire/Spark) Repository: https://github.com/thamizh-root/neruppu

Key Technical Improvements over Legacy Haven:

Pure Kotlin Architecture: Rewritten from scratch to eliminate legacy Java technical debt.Modern

Background Services: Uses Android's newer WorkManager and Foreground Service types to prevent the OS from killing the monitoring process on Samsung/Pixel devices.

CameraX Integration: More stable camera access that supports newer multi-lens devices.

Material Design 3: Updated UI that feels native on modern Android.

Why I am posting this: I am currently maintaining this as a solo developer alongside a full-time private sector job. I believe this codebase could serve as a strong foundation for "Haven 2.0" or a community fork. I would welcome any feedback from the original maintainers (@n8fr8) or the community. If there is interest in adopting this architecture officially, I am open to collaboration.
