I made a theme including 12.500 (twelve thousand five hundred) icons. Seems like the EMUI theme engine can not handle it. It's a pity. Same theme with 3700 icons works. The MIUI theme engine can handle the 12.500... Meh. Writing this to Huawei will not have any effect I guess.

I wanted to customize a emui 8 theme I got via the playstore, I managed to change the Icons without a problem but the appdrawer one makes some problems. I managed to change it but when I long-press it a weird green box appears around it. Do you know what might cause this and how I can fix it?
