I haven't made any changes at all under root for this (and Ive hidden items, created and removed groups etc), so can all be undone by deleting the userspace versions of en.txt and view.json. So a factory reset would work correctly.
en.txt only really needed for renaming stock apps (or renaming "USER'S" group in apps menu) as user apps and groups can be renamed in view.json.
I guess you could even (mostly) ditch en.txt for simplicity and add the stock apps to the applications section of view.json too; then you could keep renaming to a single file and all the custom icons for stock and user apps in a single easily referenced directory. As there are loads of different xx.txt language files this may be a good idea!
- FYI tested this and it works, you can set title and set a path for icons for stock apps - app path not required for stock apps (will generate an error), only needed for user apps
Add stock apps to applications section of "view.json" like so:
Code:
"PB_Calc": {
"title": "",
"icon": "",
"focused_icon": ""
},
With the quotes empty the default app name/text and icons will be shown, but they can be easily populated and customised in the future.
If you want to hide an app from the Apps menu, stock or user, remove the reference to it in the groups section further down the file.
