Hi,

I'm used to switch off data and wifi connection, if I didn't need it. So if I start a app, which need a connection, I have to go to the event view turn on the connection, go back to home and open the app again. I think it will be comfortable to open the app, which was open befor I switch to event view. In the case I switch from home screen to event view, I expect the home screen. This will also be nice, if I will check mails or something similar in event view.

Some examples how it could work:

  • app -> "left swipe" -> event view -> "right swipe" -> app
  • app -> "left swipe" -> event view -> "left swipe" -> home
  • home -> "left swipe" -> event view -> "right swipe" -> home

Maybe it would useful to insert a "last app screen", to get a cycle "event view" -> "home" -> "last app" -> "event view" -> ... Means:

  • With a "left swipe" from home i get the event view and with a "right swipe" from home I get the last open app.
  • From event view I get the home with a "right swipe" and the last open app with a "left swipe".

I hope my wording is clear and usefully ;)

with quick events access activated an edge swipe from the left shows the events view. It would feel natural to swipe from the right edge to get back to the place before and not to the home screen.

@shining well, yes, as many things that felt "natural" in SfOS 1.x this was cut away with the change to SfOS 2.x as well...

This is what I wanted, only the switch animation needs imho to much time. Thanks a lot also to eugenio!
