The Swipe Direction of Launcher [duplicate]
asked 2014-08-14 09:55:49 +0200
Now we need to swipe up and down to check the apps installed. If there are too many apps and/or folders, we have to swipe the screen many times to go back to the lock or multitasks screen from the bottom. So why not change the swipe direction of launcher from vertical to horizontal?
disagree. it is the same. I don't see how your suggestion is different.
can you please explain what the benefits are?

naughtydog ( 2014-08-14 15:48:33 +0200 )editwhat I would like/suggest: If you are within the launcher area the swipe from left/right gesture is not used. Why can't this gesture bring back the home screen, like from within a running app? this would be consistent with the rest of the ui, "swipe from left right always brings back the home screen". I often intuitively do this gesture and wonder why it's not working :)
till ( 2014-08-14 18:14:41 +0200 )edit@droll@naughtydog change the swipe direction of launcher can help us go back to multitasks screen faster.Just like the N9,swipe vertically to check apps and swipe horizontally to see running apps.
fishegg ( 2014-08-14 18:47:33 +0200 )edit@droll and @naughtydog, if it was so that you go down from home screen to the launcher, but browse the launcher pages horizontally, the benefit would be that you can go up from any launcher page to get back to home screen.
