Sorry, didn't see this until now. But ofcourse. Gladly. For now, this post is edited to reflect. Want me to package a text file with it or something? Or would editing the post on youtube suffice? Whatever works for you.

Late to see this, but done.

I'll take this as another example of the lesson i'm always learning, that my lack of imagination in thinking of problem scenarios seldom means they don't exist

Oh right. I wasn't even considering telemetry and such. Well I guess just put me down as a supporter of the attempt I'll keep with my hack solution for now. I wish android keymapper apps didn't break in most emulators or this whole thing wouldn't even be an issue. PS - Always a pleasure to get a response from ya, Jason. Best frontend ever... And i've been around.

Thanks. I read it. This is slightly different though. I'd only be talking about a side build for people who want that. Specifically not in the general consumption build. Like a "grab this one if you want it" thing. Which is normally something that'd be ridiculous to ask for, maintaining 2 builds for a minor use case, but in this case its like not even really code base changes. Just the apk manifest. And since they don't go through play store ... thats one hurdle gone. I've gone in and hack edited mine to do this anyway.. but its a pain with updates. Btw just a side note.. and off topic, really, because its not even what I'm asking for but.. you know you don't have to use a launcher app as your launcher right? Like ... it just functions like any other app if you don't make it your launcher. Gestures and buttons will still treat it separate and home will still take you to your launcher. It will ask if you want it to be your default launcher but you only have to say no once i'm pretty sure.

Are you by any chance using a key-remapper app on the same device? i've had controls stop working in emulators completely until turning off key remapper. Just a side though.

Its essentially 2 lines in the android manifest and would make my life a hell of a lot easier. <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

I'm wondering if we have or could get a build of Launchbox android that runs as the android launcher, for those of us using this on dedicated hardware.
