Improve application launching on 2.0

Launching applications on 2.0 is currently impractical. Tapping the screen to bring up the pinned applications is fine, however this does not work if you already have a card open. Pinned applications should always be brought up on a tap to the main screen outside running cards, the current way is inconsistent.

Instead, now you have to bring up the entire application drawer by swiping from bottom upwards. This then proceeds to push your most used applications all the way to the top of the screen. This practically gives you the furthest distance you could have to travel to launch your pinned applications. With this kind of an arrangement quick-launchable applications should be kept fixed at the bottom of the screen when they are revealed.

Enabling only the pinned applications to be revealed by a partial swipe would also be helpful.
