Appreciate the review. Making corrections and will upload a revised version soon.

Rearranged PD uses debug icons which is incorrect.

My own guess for why there is so many incorrect icons is:

a) you choose icons manually, which is not really a good thing, if this thing is supposed to be automated

b) your tools just pick ic_launcher.png... which is incorrect choice for many post-2019 forks due to actual two-layer format of icon, composed of foreground and background pngs; you should compose a full icon, if those layer files are available

Also, a fatal flaw: all download links point to your local file system, so they are useless to anyone who doesn't have access to your I: hard drive.

I will address the REarranged icons.

I use several different tools, mainly apkanalyzer for icons. Some apk's as you point out have multiple images and a few don't follow standard protocol at all. When that happens the tools report no icon. I then do a manual extraction and edit that are then added to the final "tweaks" so that the next time I run the tools I don't have to do it again manually.

The link's point to my archive. My PD archive is close to 7GB and I connect to the Internet via cellphone which makes uploading painful. I am hoping to get my GDrive updated and then I will change the links to point to GDrive.

"My own guess for why there is so many incorrect..." Less than a dozen corrections on more than 400 games isn't so many. I appreciate the reviews and don't mind making the corrections. Once the bug's are hammered out, updating and additions will be easy. That has been a long time goal for this project.

When that happens the tools report no icon.

At least for me, the ic_launcher layers are reported as mipmaps and are always at same locations, so I don't what is the block here to automatic retrieval of icons. I do not mean to insult, I am just suggesting how to automate it even further and with more compatibility.

That's too relatable...

Less than a dozen corrections on more than 400 games isn’t so many.

That's really only because I pointed out games I know personally. There might be more PDs in list, that show debug icon because they did not set non-layered icon properly.

Also, here's a question: do all mod and zaystringofnumbers mods do translations? or there is something else?

[–] The_Snail@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The modder is somewhat vague but does say that they do Asian language adaptations and changes that generally make game play easier.
