LineageOS App Cloner Official Release
Hi Reddit,
I built a Linux shell script that clones LineageOS applications so they install alongside the default system ones. The clone gets its own package ID, and you can personalize its name and icon and sign it with your own key or the public Android debug key. The script runs from a local page in your default browser and works on any distribution and desktop environment.
Sixteen apps are currently supported :
* **System Essentials :** Dialer (phone), Contacts, Messaging, DeskClock, ExactCalculator.
* **Media & Utility :** Jelly (browser), Aperture (camera), Twelve (music player), Glimpse (gallery), Gallery2.
* **Tools & Settings :** Recorder, Camelot (PDF viewer), Etar (calendar), AudioFX (equaliser), Backgrounds (wallpapers), Profiles.
This project is published under GPL-3.0: [https://codeberg.org/213YaZ786/lineage-app-cloner/](https://codeberg.org/213YaZ786/lineage-app-cloner/)
Feel free to use the repository's issue tracker to submit bug reports or to share your thoughts right here in this thread.
Peace be upon him who believes.
