PointUI Updated!


logo_pointui_title1

Point UI Home has been updated to 1.02b, offering some more functionality, smartphone support, and a really cool black skin.

Bug Fixes

  • Many bugs fixed!
  • Memory leak issues fixed.
  • Lock screen locks keys as well, and when orientation changed while locked the keys remain locked.
  • Recurring appointments now displayed.
  • Hardware buttons now working.
  • Volume controls now working.
  • Volume controls support stereo.
  • Control panel applets have had a number of bug fixes. They still are only categorised correctly for English ROMS unless you use a translated terms file as described in the forums.
  • Battery shouldn’t show 255% any more but some devices for some reason do not report the correct % when asked and can take a while before they report it successfully.
  • The speed that tasks load has been improved and should no longer cause freezes.
  • Currently Running screen causing device to freeze has been fixed on most devices, but still is problematic with some devices in which case you need to switch off the screenshots option.
  • Closing home sometimes caused it to freeze needing soft reset issue has been fixed.

Have a look at the Home 1.02b Release Instructions/Notes. Oh and check out the new Black skin.

I tried this version again and while cool, I find i just can’t run back to it because of PIM stuff. I’m very particular about my PIM system and Pbreeze does it better than anyone else — including PI8. Right now PI8 just keeps hanging on me whenever I try to go to settings, and that includes the latest version. I just ran out of patience and went back to Pbreeze, which also seems to use less RAM.

I have to say though, in terms of stuff related to this actual post :) — the animations got even cooler on the Home screen. It’s also getting a lot better integrated with the system, with clever things like turning BT on and off as you make or receive calls. Smart!
