Revision history [back]

Version 1 was really unlike, we got a very uncommon and well designed consist UI. Smart for one hand using, left or right hand didn't made a difference.

Version 2 got the top android like status bar, the adroid like carousel but was still unlike because we got a tablet UI on a phone (no dialer, contacts... at the bottom, now on the top left edge)

Version 3 got the android like top dropdown, nearly the similar design like my old AOSP slimRom, with the round buttons. The gallery got the left upper button, which isn't reachable at all, but makes the design more balanced. I like the new gallery more, then the old one except the button on the upper left, the biggest mistake which came from apple, of course with the small displays. This got copied from android, the very end for one hand use with the big screens...I'm impressed how UI designers do not think, just copy.

Some years ago, all designers try to design for newbies, people which are new on computers, even there wasn't anymore any beginners left around, then they start to design like the major platforms (copy) for users which wanna switch the system, but hold on: Why they wanna switch? To get the same?

I'm fine with Sailfish as long as I get updates for security issues, even the development is far too slow for fixing or finishing things instead of making funny shining UI baubles. In the meantime I peer to the UBports project, hoping this will go faster for my next device.
