Re: Need advice on Home products
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried GDE and here are my thoughts:
- Liked the softkey buttons. Reminded me of Windows Mobile.
- I didn't like any of the scrolling options. None of them were as smooth as the standard Vanilla slider.
- I liked the ability to have multiple (more than 3) desktops.
- Randomly widgets would not work unless I rebooted the device. The Google Search Widget never worked.
- This was the deal-breaker: It took several clicks, sometimes different clicks depending on the menu, just to get to my Applications Menu. This was so frustrating that I simply uninstalled the app for a refund.
If I could have mapped one of the Softkeys to display the Applications menu I would have kept the software. Why the developer didn't include this option I will never know.
The only feature that was worth much was the extra desktops and frankly I can use Folders on the Vanilla to store extra icons.
Still searching, GDE wasn't for me.
