KWGT app icon formula issue

Issues
1

I cannot integrate app icons in KWGT. The formula seems not working. I use the following formula (examples):

For default app icons:
$br(kustomicons, com.openai.chatgptChatGPT)$

For icon pack icon:
$br(kustomicons, cs14.pixelperfect.iconpack.veraoutlinewhite_2gis)$

I use a OnePlus 9 Pro with Android 14.

Any support is highly appreciated.

Can anybody please support me?

Hey guys, can anybody of you maybe support me with this issue? I highly appreciate your feedback. @Ace, @Theodor, @Baju_Santiko.

Well in my limited testing, I can find nowhere that using a Broadcast Receiver for an icon pack works, either in a global, a bitmap shape, bitmap image, fonticon or anywhere else. I don’t what you’re trying to use it for, or whether it ever worked for you.

I use Iconzy to extract the icon(s) from any pack I want and then formulas or Global’s to switch the icon image as required.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I do not have experience regarding the app Icon display in KWGT. Can you please support me step by step?

Hi Dave,

May I know what do you want the icon for? Do you want to get the app icon from the notification?

As far as I know, there is no such kustomicons parameter in the br() function.

To get the app icon from the notification, use the following function:

$ni(n, icon)$ for small icon or $ni(n, bicon)$ for large icon.

n: 0, 1, …

I hope this would help.

Hi Baju, it’s even less complex, I just would like to have some app icons of my installed apps as image element in KWGT that I later use in the widget as app icon to open the app.

Ah, I see… unfortunately there is no way to retrieve an icon from any installed apps, at least as far as I know.

Alternatively, you can use the fontawesome library to select the icon that look similar to the app icon.

I hope this would help.

It is really not possible to do such simple things, to display app icons from installed apps? I tested fontawesome earlier but a lot of common app icons are missing there.

Hi there,

You can try this icon library for most brands, just extract the . zip file and copy both of the extracted files to the folder: /Kustom/icons/

Brand icons

I hope this would help.

Can you please make the file public? It asks me to download dropbox.

The file is already public.

Highly appreciate your support, I put the files in path KWGT\Kustom\icons, but still there are only very few app icons in the brand icons.

  1. Is there no icon set that includes all common app icons?
  2. And can I really not display the app icons of installed apps in a simple way?

Hi there,

I haven’t found any icon sets that have more brand icons yet.

In regards to your #2 question, you could ask about it in the Idea topic here in the forum.

I hope this would help.

Thank you so much Baju. What I do now is using an icon pack plus Iconzy to download every app icon manually and the include those images in the KWGT folder to then add it as bitmaps.

That’s the way I do it except that Iconzy can extract the icon from any app on your phone so you don’t have to download anything.

Just press the + symbol on bottom right and then the Application Icons and it will show you all the ones on your phone.
