WebOS for Android with Itching Thumb


Such applications are always interesting, because one of the things people most want is to customize their mobile. In addition to testing things that belong to an OS, running in another.

WebOS multitasking interface is based on "cards" system. Inside the application, the user makes a gesture in the "gestures area" of the phone to bring the "cards" (apps) to front, enabling the move along left and right of the screen. Applications are closed by releasing the app of the screen. Something similar is what Itching Thumb tries to emulate, multitasking management view like for Android.

Its operation is very similar to WebOS doing, each application or task that is open gains a card representation. Moving besides changes the task or a tap on a card will switch to full screen. The truth that runs very fast and looks great. Some of its main features:

- Visual tasks (in "cards")
- Cards contain high quality images "previews" of each task
- Saves screenshots previews
- Uses gestures to launch tasks and applications
- Widgets & apps strip
