Release 3.0.0 Rebrand

LTvLauncher v3.0.0+18 Release Notes

This release marks a significant milestone as we transition to a new identity.

🆕 Rebranding & Identity

🏷️ New Name: LTvLauncher

We have officially rebranded from FLauncher to LTvLauncher to better reflect our vision and avoid confusion with the original project.

📦 New Package Name

The application package name has been updated to com.leanbitlab.ltvL.

Important: This version will install as a separate app alongside the original FLauncher. You will need to migrate your settings manually and uninstall the old version if desired.

✨ New Features

🎨 Accent Color Support

Personalize your launcher experience! You can now choose from a variety of accent colors to match your style or room ambience.

☀️ Experimental Brightness Control

Added a new Brightness Scheduler feature that allows the launcher to automatically adjust system brightness based on the time of day.

Note: This feature requires WRITE_SETTINGS permission via ADB to function. However, it may not work on many TV models as they often handle brightness through hardware controls not accessible by third-party apps.

🚀 Improvements & Refinements

⚙️ Reorganized Settings

The settings menu has been streamlined for better navigation.

• Better Organization: Moved "Miscellaneous" settings to the "Interface" section.
• Unified Interface: Consistent styling across all settings pages.

💎 UI Refinement

Polished various UI elements for a more modern and cohesive look.

• Enhanced focus indicators.
• Improved spacing and layout consistency.

⚡ Animation Optimization

Optimized animations throughout the launcher for a smoother and more responsive feel, especially on lower-end devices.
