WebOS 2.x and 3.x behavior questions

Saijin_Naib · 02:11 AM

I was wondering if it would be possible to patch back two behaviors from webOS 1.x into 2.x and/or 3.x

First, the ability to flick closed cards that are not the focused (centered) card, but either of the two on the periphery. This is something that I've grown quite accustomed to in using webOS 1.4.5 and rather like.

Second, the ability to restore the small-card view. This is called by tapping once below the cards in card view. This brings you to a very high-level zoomed out view. I know that 2.x and 3.x eschewed this in favor of stacking cards, but to be honest, ordering and stacking are incredibly obnoxious when multiple cards are open and you have to move one card at a time, instead of being able to interact with 3 full cards in focus, and two on the periphery.

So, the two patch requests sort of follow and augment the others.

Thanks for your time in reading!

Anyone have any idea on feasibility if not desirability?

Using my Pre2, it is becoming more clear to me that I miss these behaviors. Where are these defined? Something patchable or?

Bump for visibility. Any further ideas on feasibility?
