My pet peeve at the moment has to be edge swipes: - The performance is terrible - When they're enabled, events on the edge of apps when not swiping are delivered twice (this includes for the home gesture - try switching tabs in the Dialer with that enabled) - The UX means it's practically impossible to know what apps are actually going to appear (the stack keeps getting reordered) - You can't tell what app you're swiping to until it's very far onto the screen
Since disabling them and using Michael's button-bar add-on, my experience with the device has massively improved. I can use the edges of the screen again (so YouTube and Facebook's like buttons are now usable without having to press them several times in the hope that you can trigger an odd number of click events, and games that use the edge of the screen work correctly) and I can quickly close the current app (which I find is a much more useful action than edge swiping) and quickly bring up the task manager (so I easily see what apps there are in the stack without committing to switching to one first). I actually find the UX of Michael's button-bar superior to edge gestures and would rather it be included and edge-gestures removed entirely... But failing that, fixing the performance and somehow making the order of the stack more obvious/consistent would be good. --Chris On 24 November 2015 at 17:58, Sam Foster <[email protected]> wrote: > As we get started on 2.6, it would be good to hear more about how the UI > facilities the system app provides are meeting requirements.
