The launcher stores its category info in its own database. The format of
this database has changed twice so far, and will no doubt change again.
That's why it isn't documented. There is no supported way to retrieve or
modify the category assignments for applications in the launcher, unless you
count the ability to set an app's default category by specifying a 'taic'
resource.

Because the format of the launcher's database can change, I would avoid
modifying it. Importing the category assignments from the launcher's
database is safer; just be sure to check the OS version and launcher
database version (in the database header), and only be sure to only import
when you know it's safe.
