r/Projectivy_Launcher

As a 3. Gen Cube user I would love to get the Projectivy Premium version, and it looks like the developer of MonetLauncher has figured this out.

Can Projectivy dev implement this too?

Referring to the attached picture, I cannot for the life of me remember where I would change the shape of the icons. They used to be long ovals, and I changed them, and I just can’t remember exactly where I did that. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Core Crew 👋

Core Builds Icon Pack v1.5.0 is merged and live.

515 icons · 948 mapped components · 12,341 checks passed.

Transparent marks for Projectivy. Apply-all still maps the 16:9 wordmark. Glyphs stay opt-in per app.

✨ WHAT LANDED

• Outfit wordmarks: Banner names and square monograms are path-outlined from one bundled family (Outfit Bold / ExtraBold, SIL OFL). A row of cards no longer mixes hand-drawn letters with whatever sans-serif font the TV happens to have.

• 14 new icons: LocalSend, RS File Manager, Sparkle TV, the Synology set (DS file, video, photo, audio, finder, get, plus Drive), plus FX, Solid Explorer, Material Files, and Ghost Commander.

• Names and matching: 218 slug names now read as apps (WiFi File Explorer, X-plore, 9Now, Peacock). Files no longer steals CX, MiXplorer, or FX. Each manager keeps its own mapping. X-plore is Files, not Gaming.

• In-app browser: Category chips, a Banners / Glyphs toggle, labeled tiles. Find is opt-in so the remote is not trapped in the keyboard. D-pad navigation: apply → style → categories → grid.

• Manual pick actually returns an icon: Projectivy's per-app picker now gets the actual resource returned. Before, the pack opened and handed nothing back.

⚙️ APPLY-ALL, HONESTLY

Projectivy has one apply contract. It reads one file: appfilter.xml. That file maps every matched app to the banner. There is no extra trick for "apply glyphs."

• Apply banners: One press, every mapped app gets the 16:9 wordmark.

• Glyphs: Long-press a card in Projectivy, or use the Banners / Glyphs toggle in this app when the picker is open.

• Projectivy's own "prefer icon or banner" setting only changes how that drawable is framed. It does not swap the mapping.

A true "apply all glyphs" would be a second APK whose appfilter points at the squares. The glyphs mapping is generated and sitting there if we ever ship that.

🛠️ NOT DEVICE-CONFIRMED

LocalSend, RS File Manager, Sparkle TV, and the Synology activities are best-known, not read directly off a box. If one does not auto-assign, run this:

adb shell cmd package resolve-activity --brief your.package.name

After install: open the pack → Apply banners to Projectivy, or go to Projectivy Settings → Appearance → Cards → Icon Pack → Core Builds.

Important: Re-apply the pack after updating or the launcher cache will keep the old marks.

Hey Core Crew 👋

You know I spend most of my time deep in the backend logic of the Configurator, but my journey actually started in visual design and brand architecture. Naturally, staring at a TV launcher full of stretched, mismatched, or missing banners for our sideloaded apps was driving me insane.

So, behind the scenes, I've been working on a passion project to fix it.

Today, the Core Builds Icon Pack is officially jumping to v1.4.0. This is a massive update—expanding from 81 to 501 icons (with 901 mapped components).

✨ WHAT IS IN IT

• 501 transparent icons: Clean 16:9 banners at 320x180. Your launcher's card color shows through perfectly.

• Zero guesswork: Every component is read directly off real hardware or an APK manifest.

• In-app update check: It will now actively notify you when a new version is out.

• One-press apply: Works instantly for Projectivy, Nova, Lawnchair, Apex, and ADW.

📺 THE SIDELOAD LONG TAIL

Mainstream packs cover Netflix and Disney+ and then stop. The entire point of this release is the long tail—the actual apps this community sideloads.

We have covered: TiviMate, Janky, Strmr, DodoStream, CloudStream, Debrify, Lumera, Arvio, OwnTV, StreamVault, Wave TV, Strexo, SYNC, TV Bro, SAI, APKTime, Unlinked, Moonlight, Metrolist, AT4K, ChillHub, LTvLauncher, Monet, and hundreds more.

📥 DOWNLOAD & INSTALL

• Downloader Code: 5270601 (If you have the old v1.0.0 code pinned anywhere, please retire it!)

• GitHub: https://github.com/brevityA/CoreBuildsIconPack

Already installed? It will safely upgrade in place. We kept the exact same signing key and matching fingerprint, so there is no need to uninstall your previous version.

If you are missing an app on your homescreen, drop the package name in the comments and I will get it added!

With the Projectivy 4.71 upgrade we now have the option to change the font for the clock, card labels, etc. Projectivy supports the Google fonts catalogue with nearly 2,000 fonts. So, yikes, going through all those is a bit overwhelming.

When you go to Settings / Proj. Settings / Appearance / Font

it's just a giant list. But if you look over on the left there's a QR Code to take you to

https://fonts.google.com

This site shows all the fonts and sample text. You have options to change the sample text, sort and filter all 1,942 of them.

Here's a trick... if you arrow down to the FONT (Google Fonts) menu, you can type in the name of the font you want, you don't have to go through that huge list manually. In the picture attached, I've typed in the name of the font I want to use, Acme.

Just be aware - it's one font for everything, so if you choose a fancy/swirly font it may be difficult to read menus and tile descriptions. Choose wisely.

I hate Google's default launcher- the worst interface I've ever had on any modern device. Lots of junk and ads you can't remove. So I decided to create my setup with Projectivy. Simple, clean, and dark.

* Custom-made my most-used app icons (I'll create more and possibly an icon pack).

* Simple status bar and clock with date.

* Minimal background.

If you like it, I'll share everything soon once I finish some other things.

Moonlight, a gaming streaming app has an option to add shortcuts to the launcher that opens the intended game directly without going through the main app interface first

The thing is, the shortcut icon is in a weird aspect ratio. Is there any way to change it to 16:9 aspect ratio to match all the other apps I have in favorites row ?

I’ve already changed mobile apps to be 16:9 from settings
I also tried to change the icon of the shortcut to a wide 16:9 icon but it just crops it to maintain the current aspect ratio

I am having an issue where the Google accessibility settings loops back around to the enable projectivy accessibility service page once I scroll past the accessibility shortcut option in the interaction controls section. I downloaded the app from the playstore. Is this a known bug with a workaround? I can't find any reference to it anywhere else in the subreddit.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I love it

Icon Pack APK: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14u5lpbqUOrcfDhirX8_nBGe9pK8XHlUd

A while back, I posted a couple of animated icons I designed, and some people liked them.

As a beginner eager to learn, I created an APK based on a template called “Blueprint” and bundled all the icons I made into a single APK. If you’d like to try it out, I’ve posted it above in the Google Drive link; it’s called “(KG Icon Pack) tv.kukigraph.iconpack.projectivy-0.8.5 (Preview)-debug.apk.”

It started as a personal project, and even though it takes a bit of work, I have fun doing it.

The APK has a feature to request more icons; if you’d like a custom one, feel free to message me.

I’d appreciate it if anyone who likes it and is able to make a donation would do so—I’d also welcome any requests for specific icons.
