Hello everyone!

This project is for the Catapult Open Source Launcher or just Catapult for short ;)

What is Catapult you may ask?

It is a launcher that I have started that is currently a port of the stock launcher and CyanogenMod's Trebuchet.

What does it do?

Not much ATM, but with the help of this great community it can do a lot

Currently I am the only developer on this project but I would love to get other devs involved as well. With help we can turn this into one of the most powerful launchers yet :D

Currently the sources reside at https://github.com/LG-Android-Coding/android_packages_apps_Catapult but if it picks up speed I'll move them to another place.

Please help in this project ;)

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] parker09:
What are the aims/objective that will be different from other launchers currently?
[Android Apps and Games] Rashed97:
I wish for it to be a powerful yet open launcher. The last one similar to this was ADW Launcher and hasn't been updated since 2010

There are many powerful launchers out there, but barely (if any) are open source

I aim to change that. Any feature you want, if you code it, we'll add it :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
I guess it will be up to us: What will this do that Trebuchet does not do (besides the name translation to English :)?

The look is certainly similar (both draw from "stock"). Trebuchet has been ported to cm10, will likely try one lifted off another ROM.

Trebuchet's problem now is fragmentation. For cm9, I have found several downloads, mostly different. Some have properties right on the main properties pane (I prefer this), other have them buried somewhere under system properties (I have never found them), others have none (but honor my desktops). We should have one place, GIT or other download place, for Catapult current version.

Because of the common source and because many of us are using Trebuchet on cm9, it would be a great convenience and boost for Catapult if it honored the pre-existing Trebuchet desktops and settings. To be up and running after flash (or push), not having to fall back to adw, would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] Rashed97:
Oh god, don't remind me of the ADW CM days...

As for honoring the Trebuchet desktops, I'll look into it. Mainly Catapult is basically a modified Trebuchet right now, but that changes soon (it's a secret what I'm doing :p )

I think ICS launchers (Stock/CM/Apex/Nova/Holo...) look and feel quiet similar. However SGS3 launcher has many advantages eg. able to create folders in the appdrawer, sort apps, hide apps... I like it very much. If we can have these plus themes, this launcher will be the best launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Rashed97:
Sadly no... It requires a bit of things only in ICS and JB. I'll try though

As for the SGS3 launcher, yeah it does pack a bit of features and I hope to eventually have those...

I'm still trying to find out why it refuses to work on anything but CM then I'll release it
[Android Apps and Games] sanjay.ghanchi:
for Nw u can release it for cm9 as a beta release n then u could find d reason y its ntt working n stock ..... just an advice bt its all ur wish :)
[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
Actually what i really would like to see here is speed, Im about to flash your CM10 and we both know the P500 is fairly underpowered but a very good work horse when it comes down to it. Theming should also be up there as a priority. Im gonna download the source and scratch around a little, if i get a theming solution, i will push it back to git. Simple things like frame/border colours, icons for now
[Android Apps and Games] Rashed97:
If you get a working theme solution I will love you forever and ever

I'm simply out of time to try. School is a time hog...

[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
This may end up a new thread if some Dev takes the -- multitasking launchers for small displays:

1. Tiled, side by side a la note 2. Resizing so do in paranoid.

2. Cascaded -- first one still relevant and maybe best: web OS, now open source. Resizing so for paranoid.

3. Pulse! This reader has elegant and usable interface. Can see a whole launcher based on this. But less radical and quite relevant here: the bottom program bar becomes slide-able and includes icons or thumbnails of active apps. Select or slide between as in pulse.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Did some searching around. There is a window-managing launcher around--looks like it runs its own utilities, though, browsers, editors and such. Probably no way to do this with regular apps without paranoid?

Apex has a card stack option--anyone used this? There are youtube videos of such things but nothing on Play.

There are several sliding taskbars around but from what I read of their descriptions, they are more customizable app-drawer subsets rather than task switchers. They also waste screen space with another taskbar--what I have in mind would use the regular one.
[Android Apps and Games] Rashed97:
I think I'm just gonna let this die. No public interest at all. Might develop it on my own and if it gets good enough I might actually release it.

I wish everyone would stop asking which Rom is better. You are on here for a reason, to find a Rom. Almost every Rom has a screenshot. Take a look. Look at the stats and compare to every other Rom out there for your specific device. Install, like it or hate it, flash a different Rom. Your father/grandfather isn't like you and may not like what you like. Have him try each one until he says, "I liked the one before" or something to that extent.

Sooo, assuming i'm not alone...i've always had phones that were locked, so no kernel experience whatsoever. I'm rooted on stock. What exactly do i need to do, to get unlocked. I want to stay on stock until a new ROM drops.

Instructions:

1. Open this file

2. Select Root with DebugFSRoot and Do It

3. Select Flash Unsecure Aboot and Do It

4. Use Odin or CWM to flash kernels to your device

Do i just do steps 2-3 to stay on stock? or do i need to flash a kernel afterwards? And if so, what do i flash for stock?

Sorry for the giant nub questions, i'm super excited about this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viper8u2:
Ok, for anyone wondering

I am on Synergy 1.6 and have a laptop with Win7 64bit

Phone is on (normal not download mode) with usb debugging on

I just double clicked the jar file and the Casual program popped up. In the drop down list I selected install insecure aboot and pushed the do it button. It scrolled some text saying it was pushing some files and said done at the end it.

Rebooted my phone and the unlock icon is gone and phone seems to be fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Ok well I ran the aboot and it said done. Guess im unlocked LOL. Sorry for the noob q's!

Sweet so your secure boot is listed as enabled, nice. The phone boots so fast now, that I was a little scared I did some thing wrong. Can others please check your secure boot too and report back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
You just need to do step 3 if you are already rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NedDasty:
Writing to the bootloader partition requires su (root permissions). All step 2 does is do that. If you already have root, you don't need to do step 2.

Mine says enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asmallchild:
This wipes all data I'm assuming? Unlocking did this to my nexus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
If you are already rooted and you do step 2, you will see something like this in the information section of Casual:

Removing files...	pkg: /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]

4353 KB/s (1468798 bytes in 0.329s)uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

You will do no harm attempting step 2 if you already rooted, but it will do nothing.

All you need is step 3.

I flashed from the terminal from within CM10 running imo's AOSP kernel without issue

I'm being cautious here on. I've read that there will be a separate CM10 from Invisiblek for nokexec I'm assuming wait for this or can I use a nokexec AOSP kernel if I come across one?

I've also seen some able to flash Sprint kernels. Is this safe now? As in if I found a Spring AOSP kernel I may be alright doing this rather than flashing a full rom?

Still a bit excited about this and learning what's safe and what's not :)

GEAUX TIGERS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] homes315:
Mine still says enable as well.

For those rooted with terminal emulator and who want to do this without linux or a mac here are some quick steps.

1) Download the original .jar offered in this post.

2) Extract it and go into SCRIPTS directory

3) Extract the Flash Secure Aboot.zip

3) Copy the aboot.img to your phones Sdcard/Download directory

4) Open Terminal Emulator on your phone, its free to download

5) Type in: su, at this point it should ask for SuperUser access, allow it.

6) Type in: dd if=/sdcard/Download/aboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

7) That's it!

Kudos to zepfloyd who posted that command on http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/15/unsecure-bootloader-can-now-be-flashed-to-verizons-galaxy-s3/, I just posted a quick tutorial.

All variants of the S3 say secure boot enabled. Even those that had the unlocked bootloader in the first place (Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) so it's pointless to keep asking and checking, it's not going to change. The only way you can truly know if this worked on your phone is to flash an unsigned kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckochinsky125:
so i did the step one but it says phone isnt rooted and su cant be found. Did I do something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] austin1227:
In download mode, but my kexec went WAY to fast. I'm pretty sure i'm unlocked. I feel bad for all the people who were complaining "If this isn't unlocked in 2 weeks i'm going back to my nexus."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NAU420:
If everyone has the enable and it looks that we are unlocked,,,,,,, thats great news for us!!!!! Because VZW wouldn't know if we were unlocked or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Ah ok I hadn't seen download mode except for an emergency flash in the past. Ya kexec goes a LOT faster now I noticed also

Okay so I'm new to this forum and currently I'm trying to get the unsecured bootloaders using my Mac. I have the .jar file and my phone is rooted. I'm running Beans Build 8 ROM. And this sounds crazy but in the .jar program, I am not getting the option of "flash unsecure aboot."

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
If you flashed the aboot.img from Adams post you are unlocked. Stop worrying about what the Odin mode screen says. You over wrote the secured one by flashing the unsecured one. Just like you over write stock recovery by flashing CWM or TWRP.

That said, I'm still waiting for things to settle before I go flashing kernels.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
I can confirm the bootloader flashed using terminal emulator. First I did md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 copied the md5 down. Then I "dd'd" the aboot.img. Then ran md5sum on that partition again and confirmed a match with the md5 provided in conf247's post.

To be honest EVERYONE should do this before rebooting to confirm a proper write. If something happens during the "dd" process and the file gets corrupted a reboot WILL brick your phone.
