simo, see italian version BELOW. -- I have a few questions. I am just starting to use Androkkid, and I have older hardware phone (T-mobile wing), but it still moves very well.

Questions:

1. Is there any kind of option you have to "snap to grid" ? I am having problems positioning my icons to be aligned. When I release my finger from the position of the icon's dotted-box, the placement where the icon then appears is off from where the dotted box was.

2. Is there a way you could create some find of function that is like a PC or mac where you can have it "auto align" all desktop icons?

Alternately: Are you familiar at all with Mac OS X operating system? If so, then you know of the utility/function called "Expose".... It takes whatever is on the screen and moves away any overlapping items, so that each item can be accessible to click or move. In OS X, this is used for application and file-directory windows. But I am thinking of how this concept could be used for me right now as I set up my desktop, or canvas, or wallpaper, whatever it is called.

This is another exmaple of the very same issue I have been commenting about since iFonz 2 appeared: The idea of having a desktop layout pre-configured from all apps on the device.

I find that it is much easier to REMOVE an icon, or move it, than it is to drag all the icons onto the desktop, only to then have to position them, and move them all aroiund.

For iFonz 2, you had about 3 different methods that you experimented with... but you abandoned the really great system that you had solved, where the screen is populated with all the application icons, and they are all in an EDIT state, so they can be dragged around.

I believe, when I look back on the first versions of iFonz 2, that you were looking to move ahead with more of the UI of Androkkid.

Everything I am saying has only to do with ONE THING: setting up my ideal layout of icons. That's the same thing I have been commenting on for 3 revs of iFonz2, and now with Androkkid.

Once the desktop layout is the way I like it, I never need to comment on this again, and I never have to spend time in Configuration-mode... because then I am just using the application.

I want to ask: Do you understand what I am talking about? Or should I put this into google translation into italian? (I think I will do that now). Your application is so good --- I just wish you would make the initial configuration process much much simpler: by PRE-POPULATING the desktop with icons from all apps that your app scans as being present on the device.

Then, I really still like the way iFonz1 worked with moving individual icons... a very simple, easy to use cut&paste... where I cut an icon on page 1, and maybe jump to page 3 to paste it there.

It really all boils down to a lot of icons spread across several pages, that's the main UI, with maybe a more customized home page with widgets. So, I notice so much programming effort, from ifonz1 to ifonz2 to androkkid, has gone into about 5 different methods of popultating the page with icons,,, then editing and moving. But each time you went back to the drawing board, (back to the start) and started over from scratch to develop ANOTHER method... and I don't understand why you have never tried to implement any of the suggestions people have made since iFonz2. ....

I would like to spen my time using the app, to make my life easier, and higher productivity, and way less time to set up icons. That should all be so much more automated.... and if someone doesn't like the automated desktop layout of all icons, it is so easy for them to move what they don't like, or delete them. This is not a complaint. It is more of a request, and also I just don't understand your philosophy of user-setup. :)
