[FREE/BETA] System Launcher Extension

[Anke]

@albert_choong

When I try to install on my phone (Samsung A42 running Android 12) it has this error

Yes, the extension does not work on Android 12+. The APK cannot be installed there. In addition, only system apps are listed. To get it working you need to modify the Manifest.

OK, thanks Anke.
Yes, It only works when the manifest set to Android 11.

No, I installed the APK on one of my Android 13 test devices and it works fine.

Try this one on your Android 12+ devices

LauncherApp_mod.apk

That's interesting. OK I will try that later, thanks.

Hi Anke,
The installation works just fine on Android 13 using your sample apk (with sdk at 31)
However, scrolling is very laggy on my phone (Android 13 Samsung Flip 5)
May I know which Listview you are using?
Thanks.

To get it working you need to modify the Manifest

What changes needs to be done in the Manifest file? I guess REQUEST ALL PACKAGES permission?

Anyone facing this problem after targetSdk 31 when using extensions has two options: Contact the extension developer(s) and ask them to declare this (android:exported="true" for activities, broadcast receivers) in the Manifest. Build the APK, decompile it, declare it in the Manifest, recompile the APK, convert the APK to AAB and sign it.

Hope this is helpful....

I am using this extension on android 12 and 15

For my launcher on android 12 I set the sdk to 30 (android 11)
For my launcher on android 15 I set the sdk to 33 (android 13)

Also did some edit for the manifest.xml like this:

<activity android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:exported="true" android:label="Launcher" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name=".Screen1" android:screenOrientation="nosensor" android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
