Disable second launcher item

Open JonnyTech opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I am very much a minimalist, especially with my phone. I use a small set of curated apps which I find useful. With those, I am hoping to add your little app. But the second icon in my launcher irritates me. Can this be disabled via the app settings? It does not matter which of the two but I only need one. Thank you for your consideration.

This has been similarly requested and discussed here: https://github.com/felixwiemuth/SimpleReminder/discussions/15#discussioncomment-9017075

I am considering adding it as an option. It is not straight-forward to implement but there is a workaround which is not too complicated: https://medium.com/@callmeryan/changing-the-android-app-icon-programmatically-c913550330d

If this works smoothly, I would add an option that one can disable either of the icons.

Thank you, I had missed the other discussion.

I had requested a similar option with another app and it was implemented in this commit, maybe it could help you.

Thanks for providing the reference! I'll take a look at it.

This would be nice, or at least an option to disable. Preferably disabled by default. The most annoying thing is that it has the same icon. Maybe the shortcut icon could be implemented because at least it looks different, so you don't click on the wrong icon on accident.
