Hmmm... Sorry guys, but I don't know if I like it. I'll have to try it out first, though. The ideas are promising, but it's a bit on the utilitarian side (which I know is the purpose), but...still...a little ugly.

Hehe, glad to see my swearing habit is continuing :P
Hehe, I agree, this is more utilitarian but can't deny it helps :P. At the moment, I'm installing LCARS because the colour bug with LCARS is fixed in the SVN and seeing if I can backport their fix to benefit us

Ok, updated package!
Use the same link.
What's new:
BTW, it may be true that a official release of new h-a-m may be out for diablo so hopefully, it contains the functions of the mod (should do as I stole most of them anyway :P) but if not, I will remod it when it comes.
Use the same link.
What's new:
- Replaced Jaffa's cell view patch with mvo's one. (Fits on screen better)
- Replaced package cell renderer with newer one to provide a fix for lcars not being able to see package names properly.

It is an improvement, very much appreciated, but... its not enough.
Lets assume I just bought a N810. I open the Application Manager because I want to install Canola.
Now I see All. But All includes all categories. There is no user feedback in the GUI about this.
Then there are a lot of doubles like email and mail, comm and Communication. Isn't email/mail communication? Boingo, whatever that may be, is a seperate category. Why not LogMeIn as well a seperate category? And while you're at it, Canola as well? *rolleyes* And, then the one called Applications. Aren't these all applications? A user would ask: what the hell is an interpreter? Doc should be Documenation.
Why not have a more tree-based viewing. For example, several modes in which one can select how it is sorted.
User -> Communication
Developer -> Interpreter
Open Source -> ...
Proprietary -> ...
Offline -> ...
Online -> ...
Like tags.
Ofcourse, the current one stays default, but more cleaned up.

blame the packagers. iirc, its from them the categories comes from, not the app manager itself...
btw, most of canola is in multimedia now. the only thing left in "canola" is canola-tuning, a collection of python scripts...

Or refuse to install with weird categories unless overridden.

That version show the repo where the package is from, in the details dialog. At the moment I don't know in what file the function could be, but sure you can to find it easily
CHANGES:
(Taken from mvo's latest changes)
Mvo's grid view patch.
Lookie at the new options.
Applications displayed properly with lcars theme.
Download (install at your own risk - use dpkg to do it though):
http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/appman/...mel.modded.deb
Original (if you think this modded version is a piece of ****):
http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/appman/...armel.orig.deb
Diff:
http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/appman/mod.diff
Of course, this is for diablo with the latest SSU. I've tested it on my device fine but like I said, install at your own risk.
