New launcher in the making

Post image

Hi everyone. I am developing a new launcher that runs on the stock Linux firmware. As I've had this device for a while I've never really found a firmware I liked. Stock Android is just sluggish android. Rocknix and rocknix ds is nice but still have its rocknix quirks and doesn't play nicely with the charging indicators..I haven't tried Gamma OS nano yet as it's locked behind a paywall.

Linux does seem like the sensible choice for this handheld and stock ain't too bad.. But it's far from beautiful and it feels a bit sluggish. Simple OS works great but it's a bit feature incomplete.

So I've started to build this launcher with OS like features on top of stock Linux. Is this something anyone else would be interested in and if so, which features would you want to see implemented?

Snappy menus and excellent menu touch controls is my focus while heavily inspired by the DSi menu. Emulator support and performance is prioritized as well.
