Slide Screen 2.0 Beta

---

Thought this was not in dev any more but it looks like they are still working on it and have released a new beta with Google Voice support. Looks pretty sweet!

Yep. Its a home screen replacement that gives youa quick glance of most important stuff on one screen. Pretty cool idea.

Used it for a good hour...it's ok...

Yea the beat has no way to launch apps so I uninstalled it. You have to hit the hm key to leave SlideMe and go back ou tto the reg home scree. The non beta app you dont have to do that.

you can set it as a home replacement, so a launcher....or you can just use it as a normal app

if you set as a launcher then it will have it's own app drawer

I think its brill, could do with a K9 plug in though

They took out the built in app drawer in the 2.0 beta.

I noticed that when trying it out. It was quite disheartening since I REALLY love the app and enjoy being able to modify which items are where on the screen layout, but without an app drawer, it's kinda.... useless.

Update: Looks like Beta 2 has been released, and app drawer functionality has made it's way back in.

Horray for the updated features as well as being able to use it as my launcher replacement!

I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I might file it as a feature request on the bug reporting page - Pressing the "Home" button on an HTC EVO doesn't bring you back to the main launcher page, instead leaves you either in an app drawer view, or in a settings menu. To get back to the launcher, you need to press the "Back" button several times.
