HomeTiles
Big, calm home screen with phone and messages built in
新版本 0.1.5
Letters typed quickly on a keyboard in the contacts or the app list all reach the search now.
Before, the first one could get lost. A setting a later version adds no longer makes this one
throw away the whole setup when you go back. It falls back to its default instead.

HomeTiles is a home screen made of large, plainly labelled tiles, with a phone dialler and a
messaging app in the same package. It is meant for small screens, unsteady hands and eyes
that would rather not squint.
Every tile can be anything you like: an app, a contact, a shortcut, a widget, a function
such as the torch or Wi-Fi, or a jump to another screen. Grid size, tile size, colours and
labels are all yours to set.
What you get:
* A home screen of big tiles, freely assigned, with an optional header showing time, date
and battery.
* A dialler with a keypad, speed dial on 2 to 9, a grouped call log and its own in-call
screen. Taking over the phone role is offered, never forced.
* Messages: thread list, conversation and composing.
* Contacts with search, sorting by first name or surname, and favourites.
* An SOS button with a countdown that calls several numbers in turn and can send an
emergency message with your location.
* Reading help: hold a tile to have it read out or shown large, and page through long
lists with buttons instead of swiping.
* Export your setup to a file and read it back on your next phone.
* If the launcher ever fails to start, a simple fallback screen appears with phone,
contacts and settings, rather than a black device.
No account, no advertising, no tracking, and no internet permission at all.
HomeTiles is a free replacement for BIG Launcher, whose features are now spread across three
paid apps.

新版本 0.1.3
Phones with keys work on every screen now. Every row, button and key shows a thick focus
border, not only the tiles. The number keys type in the dialler and in the PIN entry (star and
pound too). The green key moves to the call button without dialling. On a phone with a
keyboard, letters typed in the app list or contacts go straight into the search.

Fixes crashes on Android 8 and 9 in the SOS alarm, the call screen and the message notice on
the lock screen. A tile whose app has been removed now says so. Labels get smaller instead of
breaking a word. An incoming call shows a phone in the status bar instead of an envelope.
