I like black and white.

This sounds great, looking forward to testing it :D

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager
 

Even though I prefer formal looks on my phone, this FAPMAN design, with those funky icons, makes it not boring to look at.

And more importantly, it's fast enough that makes me choose several apps to install or uninstall! Great job!

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager
 

Nice work! I look forward to seeing a more complete or final version :)

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager
 

Version 0.2 brings you:
- A simple, preliminary way of managing repositories
- Better error messages in many places
- Don't fail installation because of unsigned packages
- Some smaller bugfixes

Version 0.2.1 tries to prevent the built-in application manager from messing too much with the repositories

Repository management works as follows:
It reads the repositories configured in the built-in application manager and adds extras-testing and extras-devel if they are not already included (they are disabled by default if you haven't previously enabled them). This list is then saved to /root/.fapman/repos.list. You can't add new repositories in the UI (only enable/disable existing), you have to manually add them to the file or use the built-in application manager to add them and then delete /root/.fapman/repos.list

If you encounter an error message which only tells you an exit code, please report what is in the log file (/root/.fapman/lastlog.txt).

Oh, and by the way if someone wants to create a better looking set of icons, that would be welcome :)

Really needed application here!
The original app.man. is seems really slowing down everytime it has lanched.

But...
Maybe better try another app. name!
LOL

Is "Fappman" better?
:D

Wow, this is golden. Implement a "sort by date" filter and it's a godsent!

Hey mate i bloody love this app so much, any chance to change the color of the text its really hard on the eyes with the black and white text but overall is the best thing since a slice of bread

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager
 

Working good so far. Only thing that tripped me up was having to click on "Update Catalogs", then "Upgrade Applications". Guess I'm just used to the old app manager and clicking Update to refresh/get list of upgradable apps in one step.

Thanks for this.
