Keeps force closing on my international SGS3. Looks fantastic, though.

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

Great idea but won't work on xperia s 4.2.1 the app starts and I can add apps to the side bar but they don't show up and when I activate the side bar it won't stay out longer that a second..

Everything works perfect for me now that the update is out. An option to customize icons would be great, as my contacts icon and dialer are automatically set as the same. Thanks dev.

Just a quick problem I noticed. If you attempt to swipe from the right instead of the normal left you get a small toast notification that says "right action." If this could be disabled or hidden in some way, that would be great. It just starts to bug me after a while.

Yup i think its great, really a true ubuntu experience. However i noticed that for ldpi resolution, the app names are not centered when u highlight an icon. And also themes did not work on my phone.

It would be great if we could change the icons in it. Both the phone app and people app have the same icon as well as the camera and gallery app

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

Is it Possible as XDA Members that we Get Premium? ;)

im support these one lol haha :D

been using it on my Galaxy Ace, its pretty cool, but get force close issues sometimes when im swipe to long, and still eat to much memory for only simple side launcher. and its more cooler if we can change the icon like what we want, rename the apps and maybe add holo theme thanks, will wait for your great update :D

    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.

    Thank you for who installed the test version.

    *How recent apps action works:
    Without lifting the finger, swipe to the outside of the bar selecting recent apps and wait a sec.
    It will open recent apps menu. To close swipe the finger back to above the bar. Hope i made it clear...
