Solution

If not fixable or not worth fixing (i understand theres not a lot of Go devices so it might not be worth fixing), just remove Launcher3Go and Launcher3QuickstepGo from packages/apps/Launcher3 and vendor/lineage. This is what I currently do for my unofficial builds for hammerhead.

Additional context

i understand this is an unofficial device, but since this is source related, I believe the issue is still valid.

Acknowledgements

• I've checked device is officially supported and that no support is provided for unofficial devices (for device specific reports and not source related).
• I'm running latest version available on crdroid.net for this device and that the device is still maintainer supported (not flagged unsupported on download page)
• I have searched the existing issues and this is a new and no duplicate or related to another open issue.
• I have written a short but informative title.
• I filled out all of the requested information in this issue properly and understand that not doing so will automatically result in closing of ticket.

We dont support Go-enabled on any device.

We dont support Go-enabled on any device.

well probably just do what i suggested then; if Go is unsupported, just nuke it from the source so if someone builds for a Go-enabled device, the builds will still work (the builds wont break, it'll fall back to the regular launcher), I can open pull requests for it if wanted.
