[Ubuntu-phone] an "emergency" mode ?

Hi, Few days ago, some friends tested UbuntuTouch on my nexus7. I noticed that some of them had trouble to find gestures/behavior (specially the back button). So I taught about an "emergency" mode : http://www.mr-consultant.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/proposal_emergency_1.jpg The idea

Hi all, I'm late to answer on this topic, but I've made some mockups : - first is about a back button in an overlay : http://www.mr-consultant.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/proposal_back_button_1.jpg - second is about a back gesture (already proposed in this thread) Please note that the

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design] Page stack back gesture

If, by gallery, you mean you have a picture open - I'd have to disagree. If I'm looking at a picture - and I swipe from the middle to anywhere - I'm simply trying to pan the image (or map or web page or whatever) around. I keep saying, gestures from the edges in are pretty safe, but the main

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design] Page stack back gesture

Hi Michel, Thanks for doing those mock-ups - very helpful. Seeing those, I'm a big fan of variation 2 - pull up then oblique. I think it's more consistent with the gestures as already described. Till later, Scott. __ Scott May. sc...@smartdata.com.au

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design] Page stack back gesture

Well, Android (and also others I think) does it like that: when you have a picture open, and swipe it to the left or to the right, it goes to the previous/next picture. I wouldn't say that is has to be like this just because others handle it like that, but at least users are used to this behavio

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design] Page stack back gesture

Yeah that's true, and I have to admit I was thinking about when the image is pinch zoomed some amount. Indeed for an unzoomed image the flick is natural. Getting into some grey areas when describing things here... Till later, Scott. __ Scott May. sc...@sma

I'm ok with this as long as it can be disabled. I agree that a lost user usually just starts tapping and hopes for the best. Sincerely, Josh On Jun 24, 2013 3:16 AM, "Michel Renon" wrote: > Hi, > > Few days ago, some friends tested UbuntuTouch on my nexus7. > I noticed that some of them had trou

[Ubuntu-phone] Best practices hacking on apps

Hello everybody, David pointed out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps/DevelopmentGuide to me which is a nicely written doc to help people hack on apps and push them to devices for testing. I was wondering if that's roughly what everybody else suggest to people who hack on apps for Ubuntu

I guess that would be interesting to see. But how would you display the launcher and the toolbar on the same view? Because they kind of overlap. Zisu Andrei On 24 June 2013 12:17, Josh Leverette wrote: > I'm ok with this as long as it can be disabled. I agree that a lost user > usually just s

Yeah, but you have to regenerate images everytime you change anything, and that's not exactly elegant. And it's not really that computationally intensive... Zisu Andrei On 24 June 2013 13:57, Michel Renon wrote: > Le 24/06/2013 14:31, Zisu Andrei a écrit : > > I guess that would be interesti

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] how to close

I think you go to the apps page on the home screen. Look at the preview image for the app you want to close. Touch it and hold your finger there until an "X" appears, then touch the "X". I am not certain though. Sincerely, Josh On Jun 24, 2013 10:20 AM, "Василий Алексеенко" wrote: > how to close

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] an "emergency" mode ?

Hi, one thing to keep in mind here is that the phones will have some sort of introduction video explaining the gestures on the very first boot. So the owner of the phone most likely knows all those things and won't need such a thing. Actually, I think this can be quite annoying too if triggered

Too many places, variations and bla. I urge the design team to find only ONE size fits all, as long as it adresses Android's ugliness. That's the biggest difference between iOS and Android: consistency, you only have one "paradigm" that you use to get back in the app, and one home button you use t

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design] Page stack back gesture

Why do you need a back button at all in the email app? I can actually think of a number of effective implementations that don't require a back button -- not even to return from viewing an email. However, if an app is making such extensive use of the back button, there's nothing stopping the develop
