Feature description

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for EasyLauncher that would improve the backup functionality. Specifically, the backup option should include all launcher settings to ensure a complete restoration experience. This should cover:

  1. Favorite Apps and Homepage Layout: Currently, it appears that the backup does not include the specific list of apps marked as favorites or those placed on the homepage. Including this information in the backup would allow users to restore their preferred app layout without manually reorganizing after a reset or on a new device.
  2. Custom App Names: Users often rename apps for easier identification or personalization. The backup should also remember these custom names assigned to apps in the launcher. This will help maintain a consistent user experience across devices or after reinstallation.

This enhancement would greatly benefit users who want a seamless transition between devices or need to restore settings after resetting their device. It would save time and effort, making the user experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Additional information

This feature would align with EasyLauncher’s goal of providing a customizable and user-friendly experience. Having the ability to fully back up and restore all personalized settings, including app organization and custom names, would enhance user satisfaction and usability.
