Android like home screen for Ubuntu Touch

About Home

Sometimes, you just want an Android like home screen or launcher. Sometimes it is necessary to minimize the active application to the tray. So that the next time you turn on the screen, it would be active, but not occupy an active place. uHome, a home screen with widgets support, will help you with this task.

The application has its own built-in widgets. In addition, you can download other widgets to customize your home screen more.

- An analog clock will always show you the current time, and a variety of themes allow you to customize it to your liking.
- Stickers will help you remind you of the most important things. And their striking design attracts attention.
- The link can create an internet link or launch an application with URLdispatcher support. After creating the link, long press on it and click the gear for settings so you can edit the URL. There are several default options for some of the typical apps.

This app was originally released by Pavel Prosto, and all credit for this app goes to them. I have created a pull request with their original repository and/or contacted them, and will gladly take down my release if they should decide to update their release for Focal.

well it works, but it lacks userfriendlyness for non default apps al UT actually needs is a way to organise the list of items since it can become a large list of aplications

I really like the idea behind this app, and will be using it daily. However there are a couple of issues for me. The custom wallpaper setting doesn't work and it's hard to add apps that are not in the sketch section (as of October 17, 2015). Both of these have been mentioned elsewhere, so I knew it might be an issue. I have a feeling that this app would be very popular for those switching to UB Touch. Great work so far!

its good but you need to add presets for the common apps, most people son't know the direct url-dispatcher urls for opening a specific app or they won't bother with it.
