I haven't noticed any unusual slowdown FWIW.
One thing i'd like to see though is a true progress bar.
Could be in addition to the current activity ball -- I quite like that as well, but a progress bar has the advantage of giving at least some idea of how long an action is taking/is expected to take.
Otherwise, this app is just great
EDIT: oops -- just remembered one other small feature request I have:
It would be great if a package's info screen showed which repository it was being downloaded from. This would be especially useful with upgrades as I don't always want to install Extras-devel updates for some of the apps I use.

Thanks for the good work, this looks like a great improvement over the original application manager, performance-wise.
It looks at the moment like it won't use system proxy settings, is that correct? This is a pet peeve of mine with the official app manager too, how hard would it be to add this in as a feature?

Please I never got an answer.
Will you add sorting?
Sort Alphabetically
Sort By Date (newest first)
Sort by Size (Largest first)
Sorting is the most I miss from the default Application Manager.

I installed it last week with a bunch of other apps. and noticed the slow down, I decided to reflash both rootfs and emmc because I wanted to start a fresh.
I reinstalled around 20 of my usual application, and the phone was pretty swift; however, I've just reinstalled fapman and the phone has once again become very slow, even when the application is not running.
I have just removed fapman through the native application manager; the uninstall took well over two minutes to complete, upon removal and reboot the phone is now as fast as it was before.
Any ideas as to the cause? I understand this is still in development so would like to help debug if possible.
Thanks none-the-less for a great app.

I would like FAP to be my default application manager (i.e that FAP starts instead of HAM when statusbar shows upgradable package).
I used terminal for application management before this program.. so it made me switch to UI again

I don't even own a diablo device.

I'll try if I can do something about it, but some operations like unpacking/removal will definitely have to do with the ball only.
