Kasvopus v1.2 – Facebook app’s new face

Toolbar extended to show two lines of icons.

Previous version of Kasvopus used the toolbar menu which was located in the top of the screen. In the long run I felt it was rather painful to use since if you hold your phone with one hand in portrait mode it’s quite hard to press any buttons that are on top of the screen.

With this release of Kasvopus I moved the menu items from top to bottom and removed the whole top bar. Now most of the shortcuts are always visible, Home, Friends, Profile and Status. When you press “More” icon the toolbar slides upwards and reveals second line of icons. This feels much better to use compared to previous version.

The v1.2 also includes the following:

  • Pull down to refresh home feed
  • Scroll down will trigger “load more” automatically
  • No more 403 errors when commenting statuses
  • App icon should work better on Symbian devices

TwimGo 2.0 Alpha Preview for Nokia N900

Here is a first downloadable alpha release of TwimGo 2.0 for Nokia N900. There were rather positive feedback for the teaser shots so I thought that it’d be best to release this as early as possible to get more feedback for the next releases.

Few words about the release:

  • Requires Qt Web Runtime (from Maemo extras-devel repository)
  • Hardware keys don’t work so well in the Qt WRT apps so I recommend the use of virtual keyboard. This problem might occur only on my device.
