You would need to decompile the apk, and then change the name of the apps that are currently set in the strings.xml file that sets the button links. This xml file is here within the apk package: \res\values\strings.xml

For example, for For Chrome you would need to change the corresponding line to this: <string name="package_browser">com.android.chrome</string> I don't know the package name for ES Explorer, but the other line you would need to change is the one for the file browser, in my case I'm using the default file manager that comes with Alvatech's ROM so it looks like this for me now: <string name="package_fileManager">com.droidlogic.FileBrow er</string>

I got the idea from this thread to modify version 1.1.2 so my launcher actually looks like this now:

I decompiled with APK easy tool. How did you change the icons?

soldiaz I used a program for windows called Apk Easy Tool, and just replaced the files inside the decompiled folder for the ones I wanted while using the exact same filenames. The XML files once decompiled can be edited with normal notepad. After recompiling and signing it, it wouldn't install because Android kept saying there was a conflict with another app with the same name being already installed, even after I had uninstalled it, so in the end I had to use an android app call called App Cloner to create a clone of my modified apk, and that is the apk I'm using now to install my launcher everytime. You can find this apk here in this post, but it doesn't have ES Explorer since I use Root Browser instead when needed but most times the regular simple Beelink file brwser is enough to find and click on anything to open it fast, so I left that as the default action action for that button in my version of the launcher. Here it is: https://openload.co/f/tEjMYi91gxU/LightHomeGT1U.apk

soldiaz I wrote the answers but the post said it's being moderated or something, so I think we need to wait for it to be approved or something before we can see it here

Ok soldiaz, so you replace the icons and graphics you want in the decompiled folders and use the same file names on your new added files so you can overwrite the ones you want to replace. After that, you modify the XML files in regular notepad, and recompile and sign the apk again. When I did, though, I had the problem that it wouldn't install saying there was a conflict with another app that has the same name or something even after I had uninstalled it, so in the end I had to use a clone maker to clone the app and this cloned app is the one I can finally install anywhere every time without any issues. Here's the link to my final version of the launcher app APK, in case you want it but keep in mind, I don't use ES Explorer so It's set up for the regular Beelink file manager. I prefer Root Browser to ES Explorer but for things like finding and clicking a file to open it or view it, the regular file manager is easir and faster so I left it as the default choice for the files button in the launcher.

Thanks for responding! Did you clone after recompile and sign? Or before?

[soldiaz]

Set same resolution for icons ins drawable mdpi v4?

Kind regards
