Hi all,

I recently got a T80s and I really like it.
(I like it so much that I am rewritting an android app I wrote to handle my bibliography to have a more e-ink compatible UI)
I did not like so much the old OS and the new one is an improvement.

But there is still something that bugs me, the (one and only) physical button!

It seems it is the equivalent of the Back button on a normal android device.
Is there a way to make it a Home button?
When I want to go back to the Home, I have to press multiple time on the button and quit the successive applications to finally go back the main screen.

The new OS does provide a home icon in the top bar, but this bar disappear when I open an app.
Is there a way to keep the top bar there all the time?

Finally, and I think I am dreaming here, but is there a way to navigate through the opened/recently opened apps (like on any android device)?

Thanks!

Ystvan
