This feature concerns
Description
Who will use the new feature?
Anyone who like to customize its phone and those are not super complex suggestions just the basic ones
What is the target of the new feature for this user?
-
Customization regarding icons. I can only change a place of icons when icons fills whole desktop. Otherwise I can’t order them as I would like to.
-
Change icons size
-
Possibility to turn off Widgets page (App Suggestions, Weather)
-
Change a number icons in a raw or columns
-
Customization icons positions within folder
-
Button for closing all applications from memory available easier
-
More options (like application properties and put an application into a split screen) when choosing between applications already started
Why this user would like to use this feature?
I believe that is the most basic functionality for a decent launcher. Also when a user has older phone like me with 5'' screen (which is enough for me) such large icons are not necessary. It fills whole desktop and produces another desktop pages. Android has a huge customization comparing to iOS for example and this launcher is taken from iOS. I use iOS on iPAD and the default launcher is rather poor regarding functionality and intuitive using (or maybe I got used to android philosophy) and the basic one from Android is more user friendly.
Regarding number 6 To get to the button which closes all application already launched is hidden at the bottom, so you have to scroll all applications to see it or closes one application by one what is not comfortable and wastes time and energy
Regarding number 7 It speeds up dealing with the application and sometimes it's a shortcut then tapping to the right section in the device's menu
Examples
- User can decide where the icon should be, maybe he/she wants to have one column or raw empty without any icon
- It can save some space on the desktop sometimes large icons look not good or are to big for smaller displays
- User can have only icons on his desktop without any gadget
- User can see more icons on one desktop without sliding his finger when looking for desired application/icon
- It's the basic functionality nothing special
- Button is visible all the time when scrolling between already launched application
- Buttons for accessing each application's properties or button to put desired application into split screen available once long pressed next to the application like there's already such buttons to close an application or to lock it.
