Launcher redraw

The mod works perfectly well BUT there is too many redraw especially when you have many apps opened and you hit the home button.

device details: Google Pixel XL, Stock Oreo 8.1, Rooted with Magisk

If you have apps updating in the background, this will happen because the app kills the launcher 10 seconds after an app updates (to allow the launcher time to update before it overrides it), so long as it another app doesn't get updated in that time (it starts the countdown again in that case)

If you don't have apps updating, the redraws are nothing to do with this app

Very typical of developers; very defensive when their works are criticised. I'm not downplaying your work but I'm only pointing out what I think is wrong and can make it better if checked and corrected.

There were no updates during the time the redraws occurred. You'll only see " Pixel Launcher Mods was granted root rights", then the redraw occurs.

For proof: I uninstalled your app and all the redraws have stopped but the icons I applied are still there though. It may be peculiar to my device but some bit can be attributed to your app.

Doesn't work. It only applies the pixel icon pack and won't let me use candycons. Also crashes most of the time when I try to apply a different icon pack. Awful

AFAIK It's the icon pack's fault and not the app's. Funny how you call something awful just because it didn't work for you but worked for others.

He's not being defensive. Other people don't experience the redraws like you're saying. Only experienced it once after applying the Pixel 2 Icon Pack then no more redraws unless an app updates itself. Don't blame the app. Blame ya phone.

If you see the toast message, the system has sent the package updated broadcast and it's restarted. There's programmatically no way for it to happen otherwise.

some icons pack not working like Click UI and Quantum Dots - Icon Pack (paid apps) and some of them like Pixel Icon Pack (free app) and Dives - Icon Pack (paid app) works fine !
could you explain where the problem is ?

 

[LPW00]

Is icon masking possible? Some icon packs have masks for unsupported icons, so that those don't look out of place.

Great App I used Pixel Launcher before and now I am using Nova Launcher because no hassle choosing One by one app icon Now I am planning to switch again I love Pixel Launcher.

Same thing here and when I open launcher after a while the icons would be pixelated and blurry at first before it becomes sharp. Am not sure if anyone else is having this problem. Great app over all. Thanks

Edited. I just noticed this has been addressed, the redraw process. Thanks
