Try System/Database Reset and then restart SlideScreen (e.g., reboot).

The labels should come back and changes in tags should be reflected after.

I can confirm the G1 running 1.6 is still showing only old emails and has never worked properly. The emails that are shown sometimes to seem to be showing up with a long delay (e.g., today the most recent email might be from the Mar. 6 and tomorrow the most recent might be from the Mar. 7).

Phil replied on March 09, 2010 05:11 to the update "Version 1.14 released." in Larva Labs:

I had this problem since the last version (sorry for not reporting). The way I get the list back is to reset the database and then reboot my G1 (stock).

A comment on the update "Version 1.13 released" in Larva Labs:

I don't filter, archive, or do anything special with gmail. I have a created a couple of tags and that's it. – Phil, on March 02, 2010 18:31

No change on my G1. Most recent email shown is from the 24th.

Can you give an update on the gmail issue (i.e. only see old emails on homescreen)?

Phil shared an idea in Larva Labs on February 24, 2010 18:55:

Clock size and other middle bar issues

I think it's more common to glance at the home screen for the time than for the date. So I think the clock on the home screen should be as large or larger than the date.

Changing the placement of the wifi, battery, and signal information would make space for a larger clock and improve the look, IMO. Currently the left side of the middle seems very squeezed.

I would also like to see a larger current temperature and a small hi/lo for today. Also the interpretation of the weather forecast is not obvious to a new user at a glance. If this is going to stay on the home screen, how about tiny icons for sun, rain, clouds, snow, etc. It would take up a little more space, but be much clearer. Best of all would be to have a touch for a forecast screen, since this is not something people need in the foreground all the time.

The absence of quick access to various services from the home screen middle bar is the biggest shortcoming in SlideScreen I see. I realize that the need to slide the middle bar complicates things. If short presses can't be done, how about long presses for the different areas of the middle bar or one long press to bring up a screen that does allow short presses (as well as more a more clearly presented forecast and system information).

Phil started following the idea "SlideScreen needs to make resolution of stability issues its number one priority" in Larva Labs.

Me too. Stock G1 with 1.11

Stock G1 using 1.1. 1.0 was fine, but 1.1 was intolerable for this reason.

I think there might be an improvement in screen load time with 1.11, but not enough. I waited 5-6 seconds get the call screen loaded. Still much too long. The first two releases were fine, but I stopped using 1.1 because of the responsiveness issue. Particularly when I want to make a call or see contacts I don't want to stare at a blank screen. That is a killer bug if it can't be fixed.

Phil replied to "1.11 Released", but it was removed. see the change log

Not solved on my stock G1. Still shows only old emails.

Still not updating correctly after upgrading to the latest version

I like these ideas--though I'm worried that feature creep might make SlideScreen unusable on my G1.
