Projectivy Launcher

Installation and setup

  1. Install the Projectivy app from Google Play Store
  2. Enable ADB Debugging (Required by the "Launcher Manager" app)
  3. Install the Downloader app from Google Play Store
  4. Open the Downloader app and paste the URL: https://troypoint.com/troypoint-toolbox/
  5. Scroll to the bottom and install "Launcher Manager"
  6. Open Launcher Manager app and select the "Projectivy Launcher"

Do not install enable "Projectivy Launcher" in Android's accessibility settings as directed by Projectivy, because doing so will trigger the following bug as noted in the first post on the official Projectivy Launcher thread (see, also, this post on Reddit):

long press on volume buttons doesn't work on FengOs : there's a bug on FengOs -> as soon as an accessibility service is enabled (Projectivy Launcher, but also Button Mapper for example), the long press volume buttons doesn't work anymore.

The workaround is to disable "Projectivy Launcher" in Android's accessibility settings, which is fine as long as "Launcher Manager" is configured as described above.
