Icons with no banner (Android TV icon) uses generic background. Enabling this feature will change generic background from green-ish gradient to solid gray color.

Icons with banner are not affected.

"Goofy" settings

"Goofy" settings are settings hidden by default because their implementation is, well, goofy.
The idea is: Advanced users with high tolerance of jank could utilize them. I wouldn't.
Goofy settings can be shown by tapping version info item 7 times on Settings screen.

Currently there is one "goofy" setting:

  • Forced Orientation

Permissions

Molla now declares two new permissions:

  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
    • Used to implement auto-start at boot feature.
      • For Android 9 and below, only RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED is needed, and no action is required to enable this feature.
      • For Android 10 and above, SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW is also needed which requires an explicit grant, so users will be asked to grant this permission upon trying to enable this feature.
    • These permissions are not used anywhere else.
