Modified Launcher not loading up when reset button is pressed or when A+C pressed

[realkarimsaleh]

So I have made a modified Launcher with a couple of badges I can switch between. And apparently when I press A+C all of my icons that I have added disappears.

I am currently on the latest BadgeOS as well 1.19.7

My Ammanded launcher is copied from the Examples Repo and I have removed the buttons I don't need and added my new badges

Hmmm I think this is because main.py is just import _launcher but it should be something like:

try:
    import launcher
except ImportError
    import _launcher

You can probably make this tweak manually to fix your setup.

Looks like this is a bug in boot.py that doesn't account for a custom launcher when writing the default main.py: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/05ef0d7f037ad5050d8612d23c9829e0e6f29204/micropython/examples/badger2040/assets/boot.py#L5

Hey thanks for your suggestion appriicate your help.

I have tried it and when pressing reset the E Ink display didm't refresh.

try:
    import launcher
except ImportError
    import _launcher

Honetly I don't know why it didn't work cause it looks write soo

So I have thought of renaming the ammanded Launcher to launcherNew

and have edited boot.py to look something like this

try:
   open("main.py", "r")
except OSError:
   with open("main.py", "w") as f:
       f.write("import _launcherNew")
       f.flush()

and have edited main.py to

import launcherNew

Just tested it and it works now

Oh it should have been:

try:
    import launcher
except ImportError:
    import _launcher

note the missing ":". I wondered why the syntax highlighting was broken! :facepalm:

Closing this issue as it appears the code offered by Gadgetoid fixed the wrong launcher loading. If it did not, please reopen.
