PRD M3 (AD-4 to AD-6, AD-17), plus three look changes the owner asked for. Wave alphabet - WaveAlphabetView (flexera/src): a strip of letters on the drawer's end edge showing only letters that have apps. Touching it jumps the list to that letter with a haptic tick; the letters near the finger bulge away from the edge and reach further the further in the finger moves; the selected letter is enlarged. - The strip reserves the edge from the system back gesture and tells the drawer not to drag closed under a scrub. - Launcher3's scroll bar is hidden by default and no longer takes touches while hidden. Swipe up and hold - NoButtonNavbarToOverviewTouchController reuses its motion-pause detector on an ordinary swipe up from the home screen: a pause finishes opening the drawer and hands the same touch to the alphabet. Swipes that start on the navigation bar keep their stock meaning. Look - The drawer fades in over the home screen instead of sliding up from the bottom. - No background panel or drag handle (drawer opacity default 0); the wallpaper keeps Lawnchair's blur and scrim. - App names, letter headers and alphabet letters are white with a soft shadow. Tested on the Android 17 emulator: quick swipe opens the drawer, edge scrub jumps the list, swipe up and hold opens the drawer and scrubs from mid-screen, Back closes it.
