For the Android operating system, there is at least a dozen popular shells and a huge number of lesser known. But almost all of these launchers largely improve the concept of the working environment, which was offered by Google. The katabatic round launcher folder? Here's a mean square, triangular and transparent. You little desktops? Here's a few more, and three beautiful transition effects between them. In this whole innovative third-party shell, as a rule, and ends.
More interesting to us was to discover Aviate - a new skin for Android, which promises a truly unique approach to desktop space organization. Just below you will find a small overview and invites for testing.
On almost any smartphone today, installed dozens of different applications that display relevant information or perform certain functions. Aviate concept is that it is a "smart desk", which is itself without your further guidance gives you access to the right at this moment and in this place the phone functions.
After starting the application you will be shown a small tutorial on the basic functions, and then you get to the main screen Aviate. It looks stylish and simple: the main place takes fotovidzhet below which there are shortcuts to your favorite programs, and higher - line display additional information.
You can swipe to navigate to additional screens. On the right is Collections - a place where all your apps organized in special sections by topic. You can display any number of predefined themes, but add your own is not possible. However, it may not be necessary, because initially there are several dozen titles, which are able to cover all the features of the phone.
Another swipe to the right and we find ourselves in a complete list of all your installed applications. It is organized in alphabetical order, perfectly supports Cyrillic and looks a bit like the contacts application in some firmware. Hence it is convenient to start the rarely used programs that do not fall into any of the categories.
But much more interesting things open to us if we go back to the main screen and make a swipe in the opposite direction. The left will leave an additional toolbar that allows you to switch between desktops context dependent. By default, there are sections House, Job, On the road and near you (Of which below). Each section contains a set of related applications, widgets, and related information. Interestingly, the switching can occur automatically between them. That is, if Aviate decides that you are at work, then the phone is switched on you will see the appropriate desktop and on the road section to be activated navigation programs and widget plugs.
No less interesting is the study section nearby Places (A place near you). When you activate it before you a list of all important facilities in the vicinity of your location with an indication of their specialization (hotels, restaurants, gas stations, stores). Tap on the desired object will open a card of this place with complete information, including a map, photos, reviews, and so on.
One review is quite difficult to completely cover all possibilities Aviate, moreover, that the shell does offer a new experience of existence in the Android ecosystem. The product turned out very interesting and worthy of thorough study and testing. However, the program is currently in beta and only available by invite. You can download the program for free from Google's app store, but when you first start you will be offered to leave your email address, which will be sent an invitation. The wait can last for weeks, so we offer to readers Layfhakera more simple way.
