Telegram

Telegram copied to clipboard

The line I removed from the manifest makes it possible for the Samsung Galaxy framework to style the icon (adaptive icons, before adaptive icons were even a thing). This will add a colored "squircle" background, allowing Telegram to blend in.

I understand that many do not like the old, Note7 style "bland" icon, but this way the icon stands out too much from the rest of the apps. Also, so far it was Telegram (and clones) only that have employed this tactic, most likely by this "fix recommendation" - a.k.a. how to fuck up your app icon aesthetics on Samsung devices.

Unless the Telegram icon is changed to a Samsung-matching squircle style one, I think the best course of action would be removing this flag from the manifest.

Is anyone going to merge this change? Its a line removal, and Telegram X has already fixed this issue. Is there any reason that this pull request won't be merged?

Lmao, 2 years nearly and still not merged or solved...

Well, it's been solved, as the problematic metadata flag has been removed.

What I don't understand is why this ticket was never responded to, if it was a duplicate, why wasn't it marked as such, and since the issue has been fixed, why wasn't it closed?

In case you haven't noticed, they don't respond to PRs or issue or anything. This is merely a source dump so they can say Telegram is FOSS

I see this code was merged, thanks for the PR!
