Iconify installed a lot of system apps

[NikunjK8]

I'm not using Iconify anymore, how can i remove them? Does Iconify itself has any setting? They're installed as system apps

Remove module from magisk/apatch/kernelsu.

That means you'll need to reboot each time you enable something. Still, Iconify now generates around 50 overlays instead of the 300+ it did before v8, which I see as a huge improvement.

That's good to know! Is there a way to view which overlap apps are currently enabled?

Run in termux with root privilege: cmd overlay list | grep '\[x\] IconifyComponent'

Awesome thank you! I'm asking because I am working on modifying a custom ROM to be rootless, and I'd like to include some basic Iconify overlays (e.g. for Notifications or Immersive Navbar) as defaults in the ROM.

I plan to sign these Iconify overlay apks with the system key and include them in the /product/overlays directory in the ROM image. But, I'm not sure if I would need to do something further to make them "active." Do you know how I would activate the overlays from here (without the whole Iconify app installed, and without using a root shell)? Would it work better to install Iconify *as a system app* in the image?

You can use static overlays if you want them to always be enabled, or else make a UI in settings to trigger Overlay Manager Service.
