Catapult
I do not plan to add any sort of new features, but rather keep the project in sync with the official builds, and adjusting/porting where required to keep it as a standalone application.

You can install trebuchet using cyan apps but this is sometimes a little hit and miss as to whether it'll run. This launcher is trebuchet for the masses, it works exactly like it, no lag and very clean. I like the app drawer style of this launcher and will continue to use it as long as possible.
There is enough customization for me. The biggest reason I use this is the alphabetical vertical app menu. Changed from cyanogenmod to Lg G5's stock, needed something similiar. Only thing there is - sometimes when some application updates, it gets another icon in my app menu, its like two shortcuts next to each other. Pressing the wrong one just tells that the app isnt installed. To fix this, I have to delete data/cache of this launcher, but then I lose settings. Any fix for that? Still, Thanks for the work
This is totally spot on! I've just switched from a Samsung S4 Mini running CM13 to a Sony X period and the launcher doesn't allow resizing of the homepage grid - this app allows me to retain identical functionality from my old device. Brilliant! Thank You.
The good: I can set the home screen grid to my preferred density and have 5 rows of icons, not 4. The bad: I cannot hide or "protect" apps in the drawer, so I have to see that dumb "Kids mode" crocodile. Nice try, but I'll look for other launchers for now.
I used to use your Home launcher on my old stock KK ROM. It was the closest thing to Trebuchet back then. Was pleased to find this awhile ago. Seems some people here don't know what Trebuchet is or bother reading your description, constantly asking for things the launcher doesn't do. Sad.
Installed it on Android 6 and the grid size only stays 4x4 doesn't matter which config is setted. Custom, cozy, etc it turns back to 4x4 that is the default setting even with small icons. Pls fix that.
Easiest way to access apps from tray. Also low memory and low battery consumption.. Have been searching for this very long time. Would have been nice if the name includes "Trebuchet". Update: Changed from 5 star to 4 star. Just because, this is not working in Android 6 & 7....
Force closes setting default launcher on Axon 7. Will not open and now the play store says not compatible with any of my devices.
I loved it until I upgraded to Android 7. It doesn't work anymore (it crashes I think). I hope a future update addresses the issue.
It was really good with my CM12.Try not to update ur CM12 to 12.1 Instead try catapult.Great Effort.
I love the app drawer from CyanogenMod and the TouchWiz one is pretty terrible. One thing I miss is badges on app icons to show number of notifications or messages. Might be a deal breaker in the end but giving this a go for a few days.
Many thanks for porting the original Trebuchet launcher. It has its flaws but Contacts-like app drawer is an excellent solution for those with many apps installed.
App drawer scrolling is a little jittery, even on my Mi5. That's the only problem I noticed. Please fix and this becomes my permanent launcher. Thanks for all the awesomeness. Cheers.
Was missing trebuchet on Nexus stock ROM. Thanks for the port. Also could be even nicer if you can add the changes from cm13..
App drawer is getting pulled back to the top when I scroll to the bottom.
Reducing 5 star to 3 star temporarily. Just because, its broken on Nougat. Please fix asap
One of the best launchers out there. App Drawer icon layout must be changable though. Hope will be achieved in next versions.
Atlast you have been found. One minor issue. The icon pack support and hide apps.
It doesn't have an amazing settings menu which is my only complaint (press and hold on home screen them swipe up the pop-up for settings) but I am using this in place of Nova. Catapult is much faster and smoother which is why I'm keeping it.
Sadly it doesn't work with oreo on mi a1. I liked Trebuchet so I'd have tried this one also. No success.
You might want to prepare this for Android N as it currently crashes on startup. Nexus 5X - Android N Preview 3
Love it, i hope this keeps getting continuous updates. I would love if the google search bar would update to the new google design and colors from marshmallow instead of the white.
Perfectly designed as terbuchest copy . really good work. Bottom alphabetical search was needed in big bold esay noticeable letters. Overall good work.scrole mode not working in my lemax2.
I like this launcher very much, but on LG G3, the app drawer is extremely choppy and unpleasant to use :(
Doesn't work on my phone. Don't know if it's a problem with OnePlus devices or Nougat
Excellent and simple. Great to have trebuchet in a pure form and I wish other CM apps were available like this too!
Really love this app. Unfortunately it dosent work since my LG G5 had a system update. Please solve this situation!
I used to adore this launcher but after updating to oreo it has stopped working. I will name my firstborn after you if you update this app to work on oreo!
Unfortunately doesn't work on my one plus 3. A real shame because I love this thing.
I'm sick of the "premium" launchers out there, I don't want or need loads of stupid settings when in reality, all we are looking for is a better version of the stock Android launchers. This one offers that stock Android feel with nice/simple customisation, it does not hog the battery or your devices RAM, I wish other launchers followed this way of doing things. Good work, developer.
