<![CDATA[OTA-12 Is Released]]>Everyone, allow us to introduce you to Ubuntu Touch OTA-12. ๐Ÿ˜„

It seems like everything is new with this update, including a new home screen (don't call it a home screen), a color and style refresh that's safe for your eyes, and small tweaks to make your phone experience more thoughtful. Not to mention the herculean efforts under the hood. You can download OTA-12 right now on your Ubuntu Touch device. Or if you're running Ubuntu Touch from the devel, rc, or edge channels, you're already rolling with us on something newer than OTA-12. Enjoy the ride!

I know, i saw this on an other topic today, i tried it, but i prefer shape and approach of launcher modular (not fan of androรฏd styled appbar anyway). Sprint could be a "page" in launcher modular.

BTW Thanks.

I find myself trying to use the same gestures when I'm on my android device and get frustrated by how android does it. Could the aidebar be improved? Sure. All in due time.

Congrats to the team on a fantastic release and looking forward to what ota-13 and the rest of 2020 has in store for the project.

Maybe a new thread on alternatives but I think they are already on the Forum somewhere.

I don't know. I've not been reading threads much.
I just upgraded it yesterday. On the looks matter, I wish I didn't. I never liked the Launcher, even in the Unity8 for desktop days. For a mobile, it is an unnecessary item. ๐Ÿ™‚

I just got it last night and so far I'm loving all the new features. I was pleasantly surprised to find there is a new 'charging' light on my Nexus 5, which was very cool. The new side-bar/home screen/phone-top looks great and I like the navigation. (Although now I feel I have to update my dated background). Thanks for all your hard work.

When an app is open, the sidebar is hidden and you don't see it.

What are you talking about? What is "sprint"?

So, would like to get rid of it permanently.

Fill an issue on ubports or UTTT git, or both.

Do what you want, UTTT is a must have app and should be part of system default apps, and sure some options it gives will be implemented in futur, but as for now it's the only simple way to do what you want.

UT Tweak Tool is ubports devs endorsed.

I want to have a clean look. It is just there wasting space and making the phone look thinner than it is. I'd like a way to uninstall it from the system, not from a tweak tool. Just a suggestion to devs. ๐Ÿ™‚

FYI, the UT Tweak can make it autohide and make it thin, up to 6, but it is still ugly, to have it on the left. So, would like to get rid of it permanently.

Not using any tweak tool, but by default.

Try UT Tweak Tool hide option.

Now, it is just another thing that takes space. In the N5, it is just wasting space. The App Drawer is enough. I would be happy, if the launcher could be disabled, uninstalled, by default.

Didn't find any option to do so, UT Tweak Tool has an option to do so, but not working on home screen, only for apps, maybe it'll be updated.

ร‰dit : but maybe your question was about hiding in apps?

Changing back to stable should have very little effect though.
