Hi!
From UX’s standpoint, Jolla made a nice move when the phone’s reply became horizontal swipe, and vertical reject the call.
That helped to more instinctively reply a call.
Shouldnt the same UX be applied to Alarms: snooze vertical and stop horizontal (or vice versa)? Because current ‘stop’/‘snooze’ UX in clocks, alams is similar to the one that the phone app used before (both pull menus up or down, vertically), and was replaced as confusing.
If so, please make it optional. As author of the patch returning the UX change in the incoming call screen back to pull menus up or down, I still receive requests from users asking to update the patch which doesn’t work after some SFOS update (since 4.2 ?) because they still don’t like the change of UX in incoming call screen.
I too agree those screens needs a new freshening up. But one problem to solve though is where to fit the snooze action.
While i don’t understand why people would want to silence a phone call and not simply hang up - the progression is very natural (silence, then hang up) and the consequence of only getting silence is basically none. However; for snooze/off it is not as clear cut - i really do want to immediately choose one, and there are consequences to the choice.

No way they’d maintain to versions.
Some people will always want the old one, regardless of how it was. It is a fact of life.
Before i would hang up by accident; that’s never happened now. I don’t even think i have silenced a call by accident. Do you use the patch yourself?
(Its been since 3.4 BTW).
But some gestures can be optional (like quick access to camera or notification center, rotating homescreen), why not this? Ability to configuration gestures of alarm and incoming call screen in settings, some user choose up and down, another user choose left/right and bottom or another combination. For me it feels more natural to pull down / up than the new version. Yes, I used the patch until it stopped working after some SFOS update, which was probably 4.2.
Singular gestures, sure - whole pieces of UX/UI is a very different thing.
