I have the same feeling with the swipe-up gesture in the task manager:
it's not smooth.
Moreover, I still have great difficulties to do this gesture. The
vertical swipe is too precise to do at first try. Is it possible to
decide that the swipe is vertical when the vertical move of the swipe is
greater than the horizontal one ? It would mean that any swipe at an
angle > 45° from the horizontal will be detected as vertical, which is
exactly what I would expect.

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.

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. If you have pet peeves, long standing issues, future
thoughts - lets get them captured. I know we have many bugs
already in bugzilla (and we'll try to winnow them down) but some
are old enough its hard to know if they are still relevant. Also
we have ideas being generated by the Alopex initiative. But as
developers writing apps on this platform - and dogfooders - what
do you think needs improving?
Potential topics:
* Lock screen
* Utility tray,
* Toasters and notifications
* Edge swipe
* Task Manager
* App transitions
* Window management
* Status bar
* Dialogs
* App chrome
Does the way the apps/content interact with the system make sense
and meet all your present needs?
thanks,
