Patch: No Home Carousel
Work in Progress. Do NOT use if a partnerspace is enabled!
Based on SailfishOS 2.0.4.13
Disables the carousel on the homescreen by removing the left side of the events-view and the right side of the switcher-view. This allows swipe right to remove notifications in events and swipe left to close an app cover in switcher.
Issues:
- Fix swiping app notification groups
Future plans:
- Go to last app on left edge swipe in events and right edge swipe in switcher
- Investigate swipable cover actions
- Maybe separate switcher and events completely
- Find new location for partnerspaces
(Any ideas how to get a partnerspace app for testing?)

Does this patch make the interface more choppy and stuttery for anybody else? I noticed it on Jolla 1 and Xperia 10 over many OS versions. It could be patchnager's fault and not this patch itself, but it is really noticeable.
I completely adore this patch, and it makes the home screen actually stick to SFOS philosophy of gestures over buttons.

I don't use the patch, but seeing as it was last updated on 07/10/2016, I would imagine subtle changes in lipstick are causing the problems you're experiencing, so it is likely that the patch is causing the problem, not patchmanager.
As per the patch description; "Not maintained anymore! Please open an issue on github if you are interested in maintaining this patch."

Do you plan on upgrading this for 2.2.0.29 and Patchmanager 3? I really miss this great patch.

it would be nice to have 'Lock device' as a side swipe, giving us three screens. (as alternative to performing a top swipe to lock)

It works on Sailfish X but not perfectly.
Could you have a look maybe please?
If I try to close the app or dismiss an event with a swipe gesture most of the time I have to do it slowly otherwise nothing happens.

It works for me on 2.1.2.3. Maybe a conflict with another patch?

This is by far my favourite patch. Hope you'll keep it updated. By the way, I see it is not in Patchmanager 2.0 web catalog. Would that be possible? I suppose it would make it more visible to users who missed it in OpenRepos recent updates when it was first released.

Yes, for me it is the most important patch for sailfish! I wish sailfish OS goes in this direction in version 3, only two things are missing:
- left swipe to events view, top swipe to quick action, right swipe, the app is minimized, which should still be open, because I do need most time the quick action, while have to change anything, screen rotation, or GPS. Come back from the eventsview, should still the last app stay open, something like a layer over.
- left swipe, bottom swipe, brings up the app drawer, this makes no sense, because then we can not right swipe to come back to home, or app. The bottom swipe should bring up the presence page, where you can choose, which account is online, or offline. This page was gone after version 1 and they did until now not find a good place for it, not even a quick action, this is very sad. The best place would be the swipe up in the eventsview page.
The eventsview page has one annoying thin more: If I have some notification which fill out the screen, I try to swipe upward to see the last notifications on bottom but the stupid app drawer comes up. The up swipe should be a up swipe from edge, not from screen center.
Just some ideas to fine-grade this patch. I would love to see such things and maybe the guys from jolla will be that surprised, to take it over ;-) ...just dreaming.
Thank you for this great patch!

Thanks and agree with your first point, this workflow makes no sense. Accessing the eventsview to change some options while still maintining focus should be easier. It would be great to get back the separate events view like in sfos 1, which could be overlayed over the current ap. For now, I can recommend the "Quick settings on power menu" patch from alina!
I also think the bottom swipe (on screen) on home and events view is wasted, and could be used for some kind of pullup menu. With regards to mistakenly opening the app drawer when scrolling down, this can sometime happen on the home screen and the events view.

it's one of my fave patches! Pity it quits working with every OS update though.

Not working on 2.0.4-13. it was so much easier to swipe to close than pressing buttons.

Agreed. An option could be included in the base system, maybe we should consider a feature/pull request!

I am using an Intex Aqua Fish, and the swipe close is not working on google play store notifications and on the group. Could you add it maybe, please :) ? Thanks .

Would it be possible to add an option to change the position of events-view from left to right?
EDIT: Also personally I think it'd be better to have the app closed if swiped all the way to the edge of the screen. That would decrease possibility of accidental app closing.
EDIT2: I take back my previous edit. After using it a while I came to a conclusion that closing app by accident isn't something that happens too easily with the current set up.

I think, it should be possible to make the order configurable. But I never tried it! I might have time on the weekend to experiment a bit. Though, I am not sure whether this would also work for edge swipes when having an app open.
