Is there a way to get the trebuchet launcher from CM on the stock samsung firmware? I don't mind waiting for a CM port if/when it happens, but i really miss the trebuchet launcher. Is there an APK somewhere i could sideload?
I've tried the bazooka launcher (a clone that's in the play store)...it's just not the same.
Have you tried or is it possible to pull the launcher apk from the custom rom?
There seems to be an apk here for it you can try or if someone with the device would like to test

Why not give Nova a try? It's built on the same open source code as Trebuchet, and it has many additional features and options. You can find it on the Play Store.

Nova is all I've ever used. Grabbed the paid version when it was being offered for free I think.
@mattdm
He asked where to get trebuchet. Not for other options. If you don't have an answer, then don't answer. When we want nova launcher we will ask.
Straight from our 5/30 build: http://www.2shared.com/file/aQDpjDJr/Trebuchet.html?
1) download
2) install like any other app (no root required)
3) press home button
4) make trebuchet your default launcher
5) enjoy

Is there any way of putting the stock vanilla UI seen on the Verizon models on the R800i GSM models?

Yeah all you need to do is download launcher2.apk (Stock google launcher). I did a quick google search and found the gingerbread version in a SGS II Vanilla rom. When i download it, i will upload it here. You will need root and insecure ADB to install it though. As you have to push it to /system/app/ before it will work
You can download Gingebread Launcher from the Market, it's free and it's actually the stock launcher.
Logseman's idea sounds best to me. But if you still want it here is the .apk.
To install just fire up ADB and type in:
adb remount
adb push launcher2.apk /system/app
adb reboot
So this will completely replace the Timescape UI with the stock vanilla google UI like on the R800x models?

No you can install as many launchers as you want. The OS will ask you to pick a default one. It will then freeze the rest, you can easly use another launcher by finding your current default one in manage applictions. And tapping on "clear defaults". next time you press the home button. The OS will ask you to pick another default launcher
OMG you guys are champions!
I downloaded Android 2.3 Launcher and its exactly like my Nexus S 2.3.4!
Thanks heaps guys your all awesome!!

I have managed to get a 5X5 launcher more or less working through the Nottach xposed framework module.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285074
It is working for most apps and I am saying most. My Smurfville Game and my Barcode reader caused problems which required the device to be rebooted.
Good Luck
I have used the xposed framework repo for that and it worked beautifully until I upgraded to android 4.3 on note 2.
I've not gotten this to work on my note 3. It is installed and the module is enabled. Anyone have luck w/ this yet w/ 4.3?

Check this thread HERE
just choose the launcher style you want and install and be done with it... works like a champ and there's a few different options there that are pretty cool...5x5 launcher rotation to landscape with 5x6 app drawer was a winner for me.

Oh sorry guys I have the working file I found in one of the threads here. Credit to the original developer termit901.

This isn't GEL. This is just the GEL dialer which allows you to search for businesses within the dialer like the Nexus 5.
And yea, you need to be rooted for this to work.
Ops! My bad. I didn't see "dialer"

The appearance isn't going to change. Did you try looking for a business in the search field? And are you sure you aren't hitting the stock phone icon?

Yes I tried searching several businesses. And there is only one phone icon. I placed it in system/priv-app and changed permissions to 0644.

You're supposed to create a shortcut for the new dialer and make that your new phone icon.
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
1. Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
2. Choose "Shortcuts"
3. Select "Activities"
4. Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.

If you're not running a custom launcher like Nova, you can also use this app to create the shortcut:

Okay. I'm using GEL. I will do this in a few and report back. Thanks

No prob. Glad you got it working.
So I installed the APK and added a shortcut Nova Launcher and I can search for businesses and stuff just fine, but when I try to make a call in the dialer it crashes. I downloaded the apk from 2 different mirrors so that isn't the issue. I would try to flash the zip but I don't have the slightest idea how to do that.

Did you follow these steps?
2. Flash the ZIP file in a custom recovery, or copy the APK file directly into /system/priv-app.
3. If you opted to move the APK file manually, you'll need to set the permissions on the APK to 644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell.
4. Reboot your phone.

Well I got it to work somehow. I'm not entirely sure what I did differently this time but oh well.

Do you have root access?
Is there any way around if you don't have root?
Self promotion aside, I created a thread for this a while back. This dialer works flawlessly without the need for nova or an activity launcher.

If you have Root, install a custom ROM, or install a launcher then using TWRP or a root explorer, rename, freeze, delete stock
You can also use No Limits ROM, it's really a Magisk MOD, yet it has the option to remove stock launcher and replace with a different one. Here is the link to it.

Very simple no root needed.
Install the launcher that you want
Go to Settings/Apps & notifications/Default apps/Home app
Change to your installed new launcher
No need to delete the stock launcher

I do NOT recommend to remove the OnePlus launcher if you are using the gesture navigation.
The launcher process is also containing the services for the gestures.
Therefore, like stated above, I also recommend to leave the default launcher as it is and just install the one you want.
Edit: screenshot for reference. I'm using an alternative launcher and still need OnePlus launcher because of the running service.
