Thanks a lot
I've found little workaround that I used to install the newest 
calculator app on the device. Here is what I did:
I downloaded the code:
    $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-calculator-app
I copied it to my Nexus 7 device:
    $ scp -r ubuntu-calendar-app/ phablet@192.168.1.12
Now, I edited the file 
"/usr/share/qml-phone-shell/Applications/applications.js" using vim and 
changed:
"'calculator-mockapp.desktop': {
    'name': 'Calculator',
    'icon': 'calculator',
    'exec': '/usr/bin/qmlscene /usr/share/demo-mock-apps/calculator.qml',
    'stage': SideStage
}," to:
"'calculator-mockapp.desktop': {
    'name': 'Calculator',
    'icon': 'calculator',
    'exec': '/usr/bin/qmlscene /home/phablet/calculator.qml',
    'stage': SideStage
},"
Now, when i click the calculator icon, it opens the new calculator app. 
Be aware: You may not edit the name of the app, E.g: from 
calculator-mockapp.desktop to my-calculator.desktop. This will make the 
launcher icon unusable. And a little bug: Once I've opened the app, I 
can't close it. When you slide from bottom edge and up to the magnifying 
glass, the app doesn't close when I press the "x". Any ideas for 
workarounds?

Regards Andreas
