And that’s where the question oflaunchingthose apps enters the picture.
Another concern is that launchers sometimes crash.
So, what’s this SwipePad thing, anyway?
In its simplest form, it’s a quick-launch pad (for Android 2.1 and above).
It constantly runs in the background (and takes up a line in your notification area).
The first two options let you set an tool or a shortcut for that slot.
I did buy this add-on, and we’ll have a quick look at it later on.
That’s not a bug: it’s a graphical display of the “swipe areas”.
Touching those areas in any app would activate SwipePad.
“Top edge” probably had to be omitted because on most devices, that opens the notification area.
I felt the first two add-ons, AppLauncher and MoreSpace, might complicate the app.
So I went with Tasking, which looks like this:
I love the bold typography at the bottom-left.
Carefully-picked options, and quite powerful.
Using SwipePad becomes faster with time, thanks to muscle memory.
