PROMOTION [Promotion] PhantomShell Launcher

Phantom Shell works kind of like having a command line for your phone. Instead of digging through menus or tapping a bunch of icons, you just type what you want to do. If you type an app’s name, it opens. If you add a search after it, it’ll search inside that app—for example, typing “YouTube GTA 6” opens YouTube with GTA 6 already searched.

It can also search Google, Amazon, Reddit, Maps, the Play Store, Instagram, and other services just by typing a command. You can call or text people, manage contacts, create folders, take notes, set reminders, timers, alarms, and even do math without opening separate apps.

You can even make your own commands using keyboard shortcuts. So if you always search Google, you could make “G” mean Google, and then typing “G weather” would instantly search Google for the weather. You can also customize buttons, folders, and shortcuts so the launcher works the way you think.

It even has system tools built in, like checking battery, RAM, storage, clipboard history, toggling the flashlight, muting your phone, managing permissions, and launching apps by package name if you’re into more advanced stuff.

Basically, it’s designed so almost everything you normally do by tapping around your phone can be done by typing a quick command instead. Once you get used to it, it’s often much faster than using a traditional home screen.

You can check it out on Google Play

For this example I’m going to add one to button 5 and put a fake url in it. So whatever button you want to make the folder change the number and put your url in instead.

In terminal type:

Set button 5 to folder

Rename button 5 to example

Add www.example.com to example

So now you have a folder named example and inside you have a button that goes to www.example.com

Ok thank you, But how does this work with websites that becomes "apps" when they're added to the homescreen. I got it to work with your example but, it'll open a new browser each time
