The Problem That Relates To This Request

The icon isn't adaptive to the shape chosen by the user in android.settings:

    cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$DisplaySettingsActivity -f 0 com.android.settings
    
  2. Modify the shape.

  3. Screenshot_20240430-203955
