Apps

This guide is for apps that come with the phone. For custom apps, see the custom apps guide.

Renaming apps

The application names can be set based on language preferences using the labelLangs property in the config.json file.

The labelLangs property allows you to define application names for multiple languages.

Removing apps

You can control the visibility and behavior of applications in the app using specific properties in the config.json file. Here's how each option works:

1. show

  • Description: Determines whether the app is visible in the AppStore.

  • Usage:

    • Set to true to make the app visible.

    • Set to false to hide the app from the AppStore.

2. startapp

  • Description: Controls whether the app is installed by default when the phone is first set up.

  • Usage:

    • Set to true to have the app pre-installed.

    • Set to false to prevent the app from being installed by default.

3. startbottom

  • Description: Determines whether the app appears in the bottom bar of the phone.

  • Usage:

    • Set to true to display the app in the bottom bar.

    • Set to false to hide it from the bottom bar.

Note: Only four apps can be enabled in the bottom bar at a time.

Change icons

To change an app icon, navigate to the gksphone/html/img/icons folder and replace the icon with the desired icon. Make sure the icon is a .png file and has the same name as the app.

Example Configuration:

Here's a full example of an app configuration with these options:

{
  "name": "Info",
  "icons": "/html/img/icons/info.png",
  "categori": "mix",
  "url": "/info",
  "blockedjobs": {},
  "allowjob": {},
  "signal": true,
  "startbottom": false, // App not visible in the bottom bar
  "startapp": false,    // App not installed by default
  "show": true          // App visible in the AppStore
}

Restart the phone

You need to restart the phone for the changes to take effect.
