is there a way to have an app not show up in the default launcher and only show up in launcher3 (##217703##)? I tried disabling and renaming copying the apk and renaming package name and reinstalling but it didn’t launch afterwards. (messaging app) but i’m sure there’s an easier way since I’m rooted to decide what comes up in the default launcher.
its hardcoded… not so simple to do. usually changing the package name works but probably wont for the messages.
You can try editing the launcher3 apk, but you’ll probably have signature issues and it wont boot…

thanks! And how do you add apps to launcher? Also have to hardcode it? Cause i once installed a launcher that came up as a option in the main launcher if the browser was gone.
yeah as long as its one of the package names hardcoded into the launcher, for example if theres no browser, there is a app launcher app, that has the package name of the browser and can display other apps
