Core Builds Icon Pack v2.3.1 — 986 icons, better missing-icon reports, and everything since 2.1.2
Core Builds Icon Pack v2.3.1 is out! 🔠
My last post covered 2.1.2, so here’s the full catch-up across 2.2.0, 2.3.0, and 2.3.1.
The pack now has 986 icons and 102 wallpapers. This update adds three icons, fixes a waipu.tv mapping, gives the two main apps distinct identities, and includes the improvements to scanning, reporting, and optional support introduced since the last post.
✨ Three New Icons (v2.3.1)
- ARD Sounds: Previously called ARD Audiothek, with an audio-wave mark in ARD blue.
- Pixee: A photo-frame/slideshow icon.
- Morphe: An icon for the patcher manager.
(Note: There’s also a waipu.tv mapping fix for its newer launch activity. The artwork already existed; the additional mapping lets it apply to that activity too).
🎨 App Branding (v2.3.1)
- Main Icon Pack: Gets refreshed cyan launcher artwork and a TV banner (a circle, square, play cue, and plus inside the rounded tile).
- Glyphs App: The full standalone Core Builds Glyphs app now has its own violet launcher icon and TV banner, so it no longer looks like a second copy of the main pack.
🔍 Missing Icons on Home (v2.2.0)
There’s now a Missing icons row under Art style, with a count for your TV. It refreshes when you return to Home, so newly installed apps can appear without restarting the pack. The same scan is still available in Settings. The results distinguish between:
- Icon not applying → Report: The pack has artwork for the app, but maps a different activity. The row shows what the pack currently maps.
- No icon yet → Request: The pack doesn’t have artwork for that app yet.
📱 Better QR Reporting (v2.2.0)
- A visible “Scanning the apps on this TV…” message replaces the blank wait.
- Failed scans show an error instead of closing the app.
- App details and instructions sit beside a larger QR code, rather than stacking off the bottom of a 1080p screen.
- Select the app on your own TV, scan its QR code with your phone, then review and submit the prefilled issue.
(If the GitHub app opens with empty fields, use Menu → Open in browser. You can also photograph the TV’s report screen and attach it to an issue).
🤖 GitHub Request Checker
Added a GitHub-side request checker for icon requests and mapping reports. If required details are missing, it explains what needs fixing and points you to the Missing icons scanner. It updates one bot reply rather than posting duplicates, adds needs-info, and removes the label once complete. (This is repository automation, not background tracking in the TV app).
❤️ Optional Support (v2.3.0)
About → Support Core Builds now has QR codes for GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi. Every feature remains free whether you contribute or not. The codes are generated on the TV, and opening the support screen sends nothing. The project hub has also been cleaned up with direct links to Discord and r/CoreBuilds.

Thanks to everyone sending icon requests and device scans. If an icon still isn’t picking up on your TV, give the Missing icons screen a try — those exact component details make the reports much more useful.
