v1.0.0
a3b1e68

A dual-screen launcher built for one device: the AYN Thor.

Both panels are driven from one state — the grid you hold, and the screen that describes whatever the cursor is resting on. Your games, saves and emulators are untouched, and you can uninstall at any time.

Install

  1. Download Loki.apk below and open it on the device
  2. Allow installation from unknown sources when asked
  3. Press Home and pick Loki as your launcher
  4. A guided walkthrough runs on first launch, across both screens

Extensions

Films & shows and PC streaming are optional and ship switched off — a launcher you only want for your ROMs has no section, no settings category and no pages for either.

To add one, download the file below, then:

Settings → System & accessibility → Extensions → Import an extension

File Adds
movies.json Browse films and shows, find sources, play them
stream.json Find PCs on your network running Sunshine and stream from them

Nothing is fetched and it works offline. Remove it from the same page and everything it added disappears, with its settings kept in case you add it back.

What's in it

  • Two panels, one state — grid on the screen you hold, details on the one you read
  • 47 systems, 73 emulators recognised, each handed a ROM the way it expects. Standalone emulators are preferred over RetroArch and Lemuroid, and you can override per system or per game
  • Scraping for box art, screenshots, logos and descriptions
  • Icons stay where you put them — an empty cell stays empty, and nothing reflows
  • Eight grid densities, from 3×2 to 8×5, by pinch
  • 15 themes, each with a wallpaper chosen to go with it
  • A controller pointer for anything a gamepad cannot press, with its own keyboard that can type into other apps
  • Its own keyboard, because Android's appears on the wrong screen here

Notes

Built for the AYN Thor and not tested on other hardware.

This build is signed with the Android debug key. It installs and runs normally, but it is not a distribution identity — if a later release moves to a proper key, you will have to uninstall and reinstall, which loses your grid layout and settings.
