uLaunch

The themeable Nintendo Switch HOME Menu Nintendo forgot to make

​

This isn't some kind of HOME Menu extension, injection, patch, etc.: uLaunch is an entire reimplementation (of key components), 100% open-source!

• For more detailed information, check uLaunch's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch​

• Releases: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/latest​
• Last version: v1.1.0 (supports Atmosphère 1.8.0, and firmware 19.X)​

Let uLaunch be the HOME Menu Nintendo never bothered to make!

Is uviewer supposed to lack audio? I can't get any sound to stream when using it.

Does this seem to drain battery really fast for anyone else?

@XorTroll I use SX OS. Are you gonna brick us if we use this or not?
I dont earn enough to just yolo gamble away a console for fun.

I can imagine that quite a few people dont exactly trust you anymore.

I was unaware of xortroll position on this. Saddens me. While I find stealing code reprehensible. This is a wild wild west or lawless grey area the homebrew or modded switch software however you wish to put it exists in. So it is hard to punish team executer when it is done. Other than report it to the community and tarnish their reputation. To include potential brick code if said software is detected is akin to what i would call a “nuclear option”. Please do not do this. It only harms end users in the end. As some have pointed out not everyone can afford this. Have you not ever witnessed that moment when one wants to game and cannot? Due to hardware failure? It is such a sad moment. Why cause this to what are essentially innocent bystanders in such bickering?

the actual gamers using the various software...

perhaps those who are making such threats have forgotten or misplaced their roots...why do you develop such software? Is it not due to gaming?

 

[Hephaestus]

Blame Xecuter, not us.
None of us ever stole any code, nor do we intend to.

 

[hippy dave]

Sigh. Some devs say stuff like that in chat, they probably shouldn't, but they do. XorTroll isn't going to brick anyone. Move on.

 

[Hephaestus]

@hippy dave Hope you are right.

If you don't like to take risk, you never should go online with CFW.

Flog it's a stubbed title that can't be launched anymore and they know, if you use flog to launch uLaunch and they see that you run flog on 9.0.1 it's a sure ban.

Can uLaunch run without the flog feature enabled?

 

[CatmanFan]

Can uLaunch run without the flog feature enabled?

Of course. The only thing that won't work without it enabled is running homebrew NROs in application mode rather than using applet (especially when forwarding N64 or certain homebrews)

Is it possible with uLaunch to create a home menu like 3DS? A grid with lots of shortcuts instead of the switch icon bar? I'm asking if it's possible to try creating a theme or wait if that option could be implemented in the future. Thanks!

Been using it on sxos for awhile now.

How are you using it? I can not use it because I receive a message that sx os stealth mode is activated. When I disable it and reboot my console it is still activated, so there is no way for me to use it with sx os?

 

[Hephaestus]

I copied the files over on SX OS.
Tried re-injecting the payload.
How do i use it?

ulaunch is completely broken on 9.1.0 with atmosphere 0.10.1, crashes the console upon launching with hekate, only solution is deleting every ulaunch folder leftover.

fatal error has occurred
title id: 010041544d530000
error desc: std::abort() called 0xffe

DM me if you want the .bin error.

I have this exact problem but with on 8.1.0 + atmos 0.10.1.
Can you tell me what exact files/entries are to be removed for it to unbrick?
I'd really appreciate it!

 

[Chocola]

Yes, need update to last libnx and some changes, wait for new release.

For remove, just delete the uLaunch folders on atmosphere/contents/

Yes, its possible, but I don't know if the theme engine support hard theming like this for now or you need change the sourcecode, personally I have my own modifications on sourcecode for my launcher.
