[Feature Request]Ability to hide certain apps in launcher such as Charge Animation.

Open Ronin0000 opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

It would be very nice to be able to hide certain apps such as the Charge Animation. I might add this feature if I have time.

Are there already ideas how to implement this? Just a (documented) metadata setting and then filtering it in the default launcher?

What apps do you want to hide? If they should be labeled as 'bootloader' apps that would solve it.

Yes, looks like it is that easy. Just use a category other than 'app'. @Ronin0000 what do you think?

Yes, that's the easiest - ideally we just do a PR to change the relevant apps for everyone.

If you needed it to be configurable on a per-user basis I guess we could either have something that ran and reconfigured the app.info files (but they would change back each time there was a new version), or I guess all launchers could be rewritten to use a getLauncherApps function in a module in modules and then maybe something more fancy could be added there - but if we can get away with changing info files that'd be simpler IMO
