NosferatuLauncher

A minimalist, invisible bridge launcher designed for Nosferatu OS.

Purpose

NosferatuLauncher is not a traditional Android launcher. Its sole purpose is to act as a "traffic controller" for the system's HOME intent. Upon boot or when the Home button is pressed, this launcher instantly redirects the user to KOReader, ensuring a seamless and distraction-free e-reading environment.

Features

  • Instant Redirection: Zero-latency jump to the KOReader activity.
  • Auto-Boot: Automatically handles the first-run experience in Nosferatu OS.
  • Minimal Footprint: Lightweight Java code with no UI overhead.

Requirements

  • Android SDK: 25 (Nougat 7.1.2) or higher.
  • Target Environment: Nosferatu OS (or any AOSP-based system with KOReader installed).
  • Package Target: org.koreader.launcher

Build Instructions

This project uses the standard Gradle build system. You can build the APK using Android Studio or via the command line:

# Build the debug APK
./gradlew assembleDebug

# Build the release APK
./gradlew assembleRelease
