        Sorry, but :

        • I don't want any silly widgets on my home screen at all.
        • Buttons are more reliable than swipes.
          In fact I wouldn't mind beeing able to use the hardware buttons on my BQ E5 HD phone in combination with Ubuntu Touch like they work when Android is installed! šŸ™‚
        • The old Unity look is just fine : It's what Ubuntu Touch is known for! šŸ˜‰

        So... uhm... yeah... I pretty much disagree with all your complaints!

        LOL! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

        Ohh and I don't get the "one hand usage of the phone" thing at all : I simply use both hands because it's simply better to do so...

        My phones :

        • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
        • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
        • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

        P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

            @nero355 i mean fair but the widgets are like an optional thing if it where present in ubuntu.

            and true buttons are more reliable but unfortunately it will be hard for most phones to keep the buttons as it will be less present each year.

            and yea it looks fine but a bit more customization like windows phone would be nice

            I'm just pointing out that most more modern phones will have less of a good user experience.

            and there are lots of people that use the phone while driving etc (not saying it's a good thing but still )

            i think it's based on preference

              There are some apps on the openstore that intend to fill the need of a custom homescreen.
              First there is... Home from @pavelprosto https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6001/need-testers-home-screen-for-ubuntu-touch?_=1637710369790 , there is also launcher modular.

                  Sorry I don't understand what you're looking for.
                  Sketch: is it the software or some kind of language or else?
                  And what is a "component library" for you?
                  For hardware electronics I understand, for software it would be a design documentation I guess

                    I meant software buttons : The arrow for "Back" for example šŸ™‚

                    But yeah : Hardware buttons stay the best! šŸ˜„

                    and yea it looks fine but a bit more customization like windows phone would be nice

                    Windows Phone was a very crippled basic OS that I never liked to be honest...

                    I am glad it disappeared even it meant that Continuum disappeared too! šŸ™‚

                    I'm just pointing out that most more modern phones will have less of a good user experience.

                    I don't get that one ?!

                    and there are lots of people that use the phone while driving etc (not saying it's a good thing but still )

                    Don't get me started... šŸ™„

                    i think it's based on preference

                    True, but I also think that Ubuntu Touch should be something different than Android or iOS instead of just beeing choice #3 or #4 if you count in Jolla Sailfish šŸ˜‰

                    My phones :

                    • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS

                      @slyvan, I love unity7 and I love lomiri. Such a clever and intuitive design.

                        @applee more like a library for design with premade components. is there a design system i can use to make the mockups or do people currently just create every mockup from scratch

                          Oh, I see.
                          QML is already some kind of design library.
                          In Ubuntu Touch we can find stuff like QQC2 and the older library from Canonical's era but QQC2 is the way to go in my opinion
