Re: [APP][1.6+] Ubuntu Phone Experience

I installed the free app and it is running with an icon in the notification bar but I am unable to launch it as a launcher. Any ideas?

Update: it doesn't seem to like touchwiz. I switched to nova and it works. What did you use for the home screen?

I bought the app, and am enjoying it a lot so far.
There is a lot of other apps that do the same thing (app side bar) with a lot more functions, but this one is the best looking one for me.

Here's some suggestions, according to what would be my "dream sidebar" :
Being able to change side (I'm left handed)
Being able to add all my apps at once (swapps does this I think)
Possibility to see the recently opened apps in the sidebar (swapps does this)
Having the name of the app above my thumb instead of hidden under it
Home button on top
Being able to change the icons
And some themes options, color changing, "use image.jpg as sidebar" and stuffs like that.

There you go, hoping to see some of those in the app :)

This is very cool. I'd love it, however, if I could just use this a fast multitask launcher as well. So it showed my apps I currently have open at the top so I could quickly switch! Good start though. :) And I'm sure there's a way to make the app able to run all the time without a notification.. I've seen plenty of other apps do it. Usually have to allow the application to be a device administrator (ex. light flow).

Awesome app! I use it everyday and just one problem I'd like to point out which is I need to start the app manually every time I reboot. I'd love it if there was an auto startup option.

P.S. As someone already mentioned, I hope there's a free app for XDA members just like BetterBattery Stats or at least increase the number of app we can add in Application List . Great job mate! Loving the app :D

Edit: Sometimes it takes a couple of seconds to open up an app.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the time is taking to the update, it's a big one, i hope with most of the bugs fixed but with new features too, like recent apps.
    Here's a screenshot of how it looks like:

    Screenshot_2013-03-19-18-52-59.jpg

    It will have the same principle of lift the finger to select. Any feedback is appreciated.
    Thanks.
