SwipePad is an app that runs in the background on you’re Android phone which gives you a grid of 12 (in the free version) boxes that you can assign to different tasks. The green pluses are addons available from the Android Market, for a fee, which let you add more functionality to the grid, there is also an addon for more than 12 spaces, but the free version is fine for most people.
The selling point of SwipePad is that you can access it from anywhere in any app, just by dragging in from the (user defined) edge of the screen towards the center, and the grid appears. Remember this is not a home replacement, just a way to quickly access functions of your phone.
The app has a bunch of features, including a quick start guide and an explanation of all the addons, but the setting you’ll be most interested in is “Regions to Swipe” – this lets you set where on the screen you can start the swipe from, and your preferences are shown in red. There’s even a nice How-to video (embedded below if you want a demonstration) So that’s it. Remember you can do heaps with SwipePad, from simply launching applications to placing calls and sending messages. Enjoy the jump to hyperspace!
