Woah what! haha there is a 4th parameter for custom template!?! is there any info on how to use this? Any chance this can be a github URL that it would pull from? If not what should this folder look like? Should it be like this folder here ( https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/tree/master/bin/templates/project) or one if its parents? That could be a great solution right there...
I would like to use plugins all around but I need to totally change the Intent, and I do not think I can do that via a plugin? The tweaks are minimal for sure, it runs android apps, but I need to change up the theme, and to launch the app you use a voice trigger so I need to modify intents & theme in AndroidMainifest.xml. Lastly I need some extra Java files to properly pass through the touch events from the frames. I already have everything working, cordova app, touch event plugin, etc etc. I just need to clean this up into a package that is very easy for people to use. Ideally I want this to work via the CLI.
