I have been studying Hammer rom and Facebook home for the past two days Lao Luo's Speech I have read all the information about Facebook Home that can be found on the Internet, and got a lot of inspiration. Today, I decided to design one myself rom (Launcher to be exact), release the design draft tomorrow. If you feel good when the time comes, it's nothing. I just stand on the shoulders of giants.

Before disclosing my rom, let me say a few words about the hammer and Facebook home View. Both roms are based on Android system For secondary development, that is to say, they are just launchers, not real roms, so some people also complain that they have no technical content. But is technology so important? Technology is a high-value factor of production in the short term, but in the long term, technology will always tend to be cheap, and they will become a public resource. The only factor of production that will not decay over time is human intelligence. As the classic saying goes: "For photographers, the front end of the fuselage is not important, but the rear end is important." I can't erase the great wisdom of these two roms because I have no technical content.

Complete Lao Luo After the press conference, I have to admire this fat man who is the best at making mobile phones in the crosstalk world: his minor repairs and repairs have all come to my heart. For example, an option to classify by region is added to the address book, which is really necessary for people like me who often travel on business! When dragging icons, 4 screens can be displayed on one page at the same time, so you can directly drag icons from the first screen to the fourth screen. With a wave of your hand, you can eliminate all the new message reminder numbers in the upper right corner of all icons······

There are still many similar changes. According to him, there are 75. It is really not technically difficult to make these changes, but it is technically difficult to think of these changes. These details reflect Lao Luo's insight into human nature. There must be a hammer shortcoming At least I don't think the main interface is as beautiful as he said. It's really ugly.

Let's talk about Facebook home. First of all, I seriously agree with its idea. I think the mobile phone should be like this: once opened, it is directly news, not full screen App , this is the right way! However, because it is made by Facebook, it must be an exclusive application, which may hinder its popularity. However, it is very exciting to think of this idea and do it. In my heart, I secretly reserved a position for it as "the most important scientific and technological innovation in 2013".

If you want to compare the Hammer with Facebook home, the latter will surpass the former. Facebook home is a disruptive innovation. It completely subverts the way mobile phones are used, while the Hammer rom just changes an old product to be more usable. Facebook home Tell us one thing: the home interface is not taken for granted.

Has anyone thought about the question: Why do we have to enter the home interface when we open the screen? The only reasonable explanation I can think of is: Apple That's what we did.

All smart phones use the home interface as the main screen, but why?

The home interface has typical correct logic but does not conform to human nature Design. Why is the logic correct? Since all apps are equal in theory, we should give them an equal access path. The home interface is like a living room. If you want to enter the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, you must pass the living room.

But the mobile phone is not a house technology We can enter the bedroom without going through the living room. Facebook home does this. It puts the most frequently used Facebook (for Facebook heavy users) directly on the desktop, and hides the apps that are only used once in a few months into the storage room. I want to say that this design is simply too human! What do you think?

Of course, I don't mean to deny Steve Jobs The greatness of. When he first defined the home interface, Facebook was not at its peak. If such a Facebook home came out at that time, few people would use it. It is important to launch the right products at the right time.

The rom designed by myself will be an extension of Facebook home, but it will be more open, and you can see it tomorrow. Can you imagine what it looks like?
