Awesome! Just removed default app manager from my desktop.
Thanks for addressing both the brainstorm and the bug about app manager.

Enhancements/bugs I've found:

• Package rate link in drop-down menu> "about"
  Rating packages is a mess, a direct link would help a lot!

• So far scrolling is a little jumpy, sometimes 2-3 screens on the slightest swipe.

• It does not make sense to refresh the package list every time.
  Example:
  Going back from "install" to the "main menu" and to "uninstall".
  -the package list gets refreshed twice. Maybe you could add an option to stop re-checking for 5 minutes after the package list has been updated as well as a force re-check button from the drop-down menu.
  -I also noticed that the default app manager can usually enter "uninstall" without delay.
