Changelog

This is probably the latest changelog for Beta 3. After this I will release Beta 3 and start working on Beta 4. Here's a list of bugfixes/new features.

• Alarm notification
• Shut down button (click 'OFFLINE')
• When you have no contacts you can instantly create one by clicking 'Add contact'
• Click the weather widget to switch between Fahrenheit / Celcius
• Much sharper welcome screen

Beware of Fantulous!

I decided to give F60 a more "user-centric" feel. I want to give the users a comfortable feeling when using F60, this starts when you turn on your Nokia with F60. I designed a brand-new welcome screen. I hope you like it.

Despite the previous announcement of Phonebook, there's some bad news though. I removed the news widget in order to gain speed/improve loading times. I noticed that the news widget was the cause of major slowdowns. The good news is that you'll barely notice slowdowns anymore and I added a new wallpaper!

Changelog

What's happening guys, here's some more information on the upcoming beta.

• Phonebook has been finished
• Alarms bug has been fixed (the time did not display in the 'Alarms' view)
• Fixed some other bugs

Edit: Bug report - removing contacts is unstable yet

Minor Changelog

Hello folks! No release yet, I'm still working on the "new feature", but I have some other cool news. I'm very glad to announce that the Alarms is almost finished. This was the most complex feature yet. I managed to get all the repeat modes to work!

• Repeat modes have been completed.
• Weather has been fixed.

Beta will be rolled out this weekend.

One more thing.

Finally. It's approaching, the very first public beta release of F60. Once I've finished the 'Contacts, Alarms' I'll release the first beta. I'm now working on a complete new feature to be implemented in F60, so stay tuned. It will be amazing.

Thanks for supporting me guys, I'm very glad to be working on this again. Post your thoughts about F60 in the comments below.

Yahoo! Weather

I really want the widgets to be perfect so I created an eye-candy weather widget. Like?

Flicking through news articles.

I wanted to improve the 'news reading' experience on your Nokia, so I added a new feature called 'Flick Through'. It allows you to literally flick through the latest news articles. I also changed the font to the open-source DroidSans.

Yahoo! Integration. (Updated)

Yahoo integration has been added throughout F60. I'm using an implementation of XPath by Ryan Lovelett to load RSS data with the official RSS 2.0 specifications (read more).

So anyway, here it is:

Changelog

Hello guys, the F60 development is back on track again. I recovered the source files and I'll continue where I left off.

• Font has been updated to the less extensive 'Arial', this will increase overall speed.
• Application transitions have been removed to reduce the loading times drastically.

 

You only think of the best comeback when you leave

We've taken a long break, but we are back. F60 will return this summer. Be prepared for the ultimate phone experience on your Nokia/Samsung device. More information soon.
