OTA-12 Is Released

@RandomUser
I did without problem.

[Lakotaubp]

@RandomUser please remember that OTA-12 is now slightly behind RC, as RC has moved on slightly. Changing back to stable should have very little effect though.

[Flohack]

@Lakotaubp I think RC is still the same as stable now, we did not merge any big things since we kept RC frozen for nearly 2 weeks...

Is it possible to hide the launcher, so it'd appear after a swipe from the left? Or, disable it completely?

[Keneda]

@chdslv
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.

Édit : but maybe your question was about hiding in apps?

[chdslv]

Earlier the launcher stayed hidden. 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.

@chdslv
Did you read what i said ?
Try UT Tweak Tool hide option.

I did. I'd like it to stay out by default, system-wise.
Not using any tweak tool, but by default.

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.

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.

@chdslv
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.

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

@chdslv Well, you can do this too, you put Sprint as the home, so you put the picture without the sidebar and add some apps you usually use.

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

[Opolork]

Updated my FP2 today. No issues.

[Josele13]

@Keneda Sprint is an app that you can add apps to the screen. When an app is open, the sidebar is hidden and you don't see it.

I think it's been removed from the Openstore

Yes it does because i searched for it before asking.

Going a bit OT on the launcher thing now. Maybe a new thread on alternatives but I think they are already on the Forum somewhere.

Congratulations on the the new OTA-12. 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.

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.
