You may remember that I posted about the huge update to Belle Extra Buttons, to v2.1, a couple of months ago? Well, now we apparently have v2.2 and it's also a biggie, with 'Swipe Feature, Status Pane Buttons, Tactile feedback and more'. Full changelog below, see what you think of this interface-changing utility.
Here's the quoted changelog for v2.2, according to Symbian Tweet:
1- Added Swipe Feature [ Right / Left ] on the bottom toolbar to open [ Expandable Windows- Installed Applications - Preloaded Features (Lock Screen - Show Open Applications - BatteryWindow - etc) ].
1a) Swipe Feature is available everywhere in mobile by default.
1b) Exception Apps List: To disable Swipe Feature in ‘Marked / Selected’ applications.
1c) Exception Apps List shows all installed applications, tap on application name to ‘Mark / Un-Mark’ it.
2- Status Pane Buttons [ Select one of two ways to access Status Pane Buttons ]
2a) Select available everywhere [ With Exception Apps List ].
2b) Select ‘At selected applications’ [ With Availability Apps List ].
2c) Both lists [ Exception Apps List / Availability Apps List ] shows all installed applications, tap on application name to ‘Mark / Un-Mark’ it.
3- Added Tactile feedback when touching Status Pane Buttons / Toolbar Buttons / Music Control Buttons / Expandable Window Shortcuts.
* Tactile feedback (Vibration + Sounds) follows active profile settings.
4- Enhanced Battery level readings when changing mobile battery with a lower capacity battery.
* You have to recharge mobile battery until it is full every time you change mobile battery with a battery has a different capacity.
5- Enhanced Preloaded Stylize Presets & preloaded icons.
6- Internal enhancements for a better quicker performance.
Impressive stuff from the developer, Mr Alshahaway, can Belle Extra Buttons go any further? Is there anything else left to add?
You can buy it here in the Nokia Store.
A good point about battery monitoring, by the way. With replaceable batteries feasible for most of us, and quite often of different nominal capacity (and even voltage), it's vital to charge fully in order to calibrate what the OS thinks is "100%".
