My tests with implementing a remove method on widgets work well but would need implementation in all widgets. Maybe an alternative to this would be keeping the widgets loaded, but hiding them in apps not loading widgets? RAM could be an issue, but at least on bangle 2 it seems to be not that problematic for most apps.
A lot easier to implement and probably all of it in a bit of boot code. Actually really similar to what widhide does right now.
As far as the starting time goes, the biggest block is the quicklaunch app at about half a second for scanning the 40+ apps I have installed. The rest is not that big, but there are some apps that need a bit more time. Sensor tools and BTHRM have a lot of code. I do not know where the 2.23 seconds not explained by the 1.6 seconds from .boot are from. There could be some time from initial drawing and loading widgets for the launcher in there. I timed from the first frame showing the loading screen to the icons from iconlauncher showing.
