Rebrand

[tyler-dane]

Rebrand the old Siempo code with Focus Launcher and it's new logo (files attached).

Create a publishable package that we can use for the Play Store.

This will help us get the app back on the Play Store. (Siempo was removed from the Play Store after it shut down in spring 2021)

Remove contribution button

• We haven't set up a way for contributions yet.
• Siempo's contribution page was closed, so when a user tries to contribute, they see an error saying "The item you requested is not available for purchase"
• Let's remove this for now to avoid confusion. I documented this in Add contribution option #16 so we can tackle it in the future.

Remove Tempo button

• Tempo is the name for the batching notifications feature from Siempo. It has always been buggy, and is even more so after Android's notification changes. After a brief test, I confirmed that it doesn't work for SMS messages, and probably many other scenarios. Let's disable it for this first version. I created Fix Notification Batching [Tempo] #18 so we can revisit it later

Bonus points if you also:

• document things along the way to make it easier for others to contribute, per Contributor Onboarding #5
• pick a JDK version and update Discuss JDK Version to use #7

Here 3 variants with different icon: white, original (black + blue) and blue. By default android studio creates launcher icon with a background. For higher android version the different backgrounds (circle or rectangle) is set.

• yes, replacing Siempo with Focus Launcher is great.
• email is: focuslauncher@gmail.com
• Is it possible to omit the FAQ link? If not I'll add one to the website at: www.focuslauncher.io/faq.
• We're not monitizing Focus Launcher, so this can be removed if it doesn't break anythinglbl_purchaseSiempo --> Purchase Siempo

I prefer the _original.apkicon version -- it seems to stand out more than the others.

So, be it.

When app launcher there is a logo shown on the first screen:

The text and the Siempo's log is the whole thing.
I could change it to this variant:

Or I could do this:

May be you have some logo for app with app's title?

[zed13]

Focus logo with bold text looks better:

[tyler-dane]

Awesome. I agree, the last one (with bold text and Focus Launcher to the right of the icon) looks the best.

We don't currently have any additional logo variants or assets other than those attached to the top of this issue.
