We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
Again an idea on how ambiences/settingsumbrellas could change for use cases.
This time I am on about restricting the whole interface to things the user can choose.
Example: you are out partying and put on your partymode TOH/ambience. The UI activates a device-lock on a different layer than just top of the stack (not behind the lock-screen but behind other elements).
Explained: You double-tap the screen to unlock, you find yourself on the lock-screen and pull up, your favourites are changed to Phone Messaging Fahrplan Camera, active on the home-screen is your calendar. Now you tap the calendar but the UI is restricted to only open the Favourites so you will be asked for your lock-code. Same for pulling into launcher (you could pull up and have it visible first, then tap something and the device-lock hits you), the device asks to enter your lock code. Now what is with old message/history in your available apps? The Phone shows no history but your favourites from people to call only. Messaging shows no old messages but you can send new ones to your favourites. How do you unlock them? How about a pulley-menu entry reading Unlock

Explained: There are situations where you give your phone away or leave it somewhere considered unsafe in regards of todays security needs (online banking, conversations, accounting, OTG payment). For those cases where you do not want to have your whole phone locked down, on a party so someone can change songs or when a friend is asking if he can borrow your phone for a few minutes to call or text, you need a mode to lock your phone just top of the stack (not behind the lock-screen as tight as it needs to be for the upcoming risk. Out partying, lock it to never ever call anything else but behind other elements).
Explained: home, police and a cab - have a notepad available if you make new friends etc. You double-tap the screen to unlock, you find yourself on the lock-screen and pull up, your favourites are changed to Phone Messaging Fahrplan Camera, active on the home-screen is your calendar.
