Test build 163

🧪 A test build of the branch feature/custom-app-branding-shortcut. It is not merged yet, so it is not the latest version.

📜 Custom home-screen name and icon

✨ New features

  • Separate settings sections — Appearance and Backups and imports have their own entries instead of being grouped together.
  • Custom home-screen identity — inside Settings → Appearance, choose a name and pick an image through the system image picker. Fit the whole image or fill/crop a square, position/zoom it, reset it, and create or update a matching home-screen shortcut. Save multiple name-and-icon designs locally and apply or delete them later.
  • Accepts common Android-decodable image formats, including raster photos and SVG. SVGs are rendered into a square viewport so the full drawing is fitted rather than clipped; the cropped icon is stored privately on the phone.

⚠️ Good to know

  • Android does not let an app replace its own installed app-drawer label and icon with arbitrary user-selected values at runtime. This feature creates a separate home-screen shortcut; the original Life Tracker app entry remains unchanged.
  • Launcher support and label truncation vary by device. The launcher may ask for confirmation before adding a shortcut.

⬇️ Download

Get life-tracker.apk from the files below (under Assets) and open it on your phone. It installs over your old version and keeps all your data.

Android may ask once to allow installs from your browser or Files app. Google Play Protect may warn that the app is from outside the Play Store. Both are expected for your own app.
