VLC for Android 3.7.0

Here is the complete changelog for this new update of VLC 3 for Android.

New equalizer

The main feature of this release is a brand new equalizer, completely rewritten from scratch.

This new version is:

  • Easier to use
  • More reliable
  • Automatically saving your changes

You can now disable the default equalizer values, giving you full control over your sound customization.

Whether you want stronger bass, clearer vocals or a fully custom profile, the new equalizer makes audio tuning simpler and more flexible than ever.

Better settings import and export

We improved the backup system to make it more complete and more reliable.

Settings export now:

  • Includes equalizer values
  • Backs up more app preferences than before

This makes it easier to move your configuration between devices or restore everything after reinstalling the app.

⚠️ Please note: old backups are no longer compatible.

You will need to export your settings again. The app will notify you if needed.

Support for 16 KB page size

This release adds support for the 16 KB native library alignment requirement.

This ensures better compatibility with newer Android versions and future devices.

Improved subtitle search

We improved the subtitle search feature to provide:

  • Better matching results
  • More accurate suggestions

Finding the right subtitles for your videos should now be faster and more reliable.

Other improvements

As always, this release also includes various fixes and performance improvements to keep VLC stable and smooth on your device.
