Hello all who are interested in the success of Android, This thread is intended to create a comprehensive list of desired features, improvements, and upgrades you would desire to see in a future Android release. You can give reasons as to why you think this is necessary or want it, or just list the upgrades you wish for. If you have a cool idea for Android that you don't think is feasible with today's technology, post it below too, all ideas are welcome! Beyond simply stating your ideas, please, read others and give insight into how they could be implemented, whether they are already included in Android, or your opinion on the idea. For the generous Google engineers who work on the Android OS and read these forums, please do not interpret any of the ideas as complaints or whines (which would be understandable because it is an open source project and people could add these upgrades themselves), but rather as suggestions, feedback, and constructive criticism. We understand that most of what is said is not in your jurisdiction, your responsibility, or in your power to fix, and that you've heard many of these comments before. In fact, I'm sure many members of the community would like to hear your opinions and thoughts on Android as it stands, so by all means, chip in your two cents too! Furthermore, even if you've already posted your ideas throughout the forum, it's of the utmost importance to have a unified and comprehensive list for constructive ideas on how to improve Android, and will, I'm sure, turn into a vast and irreplaceable resource for Android developers. A completely fictional example of someone's suggestions is below:
"* More stable keyboard - often times when I'm writing it reads that I hit the wrong letter. * Universal search - this would be really useful for Android so people could access their data conveniently and quickly * Multitouch - self-explanatory * A more coherent theme throughout - to slick up the Android OS and make it more competitive with the iPhone and crazed Apple fans * Peer to peer Bluetooth connectivity * VoIP (understand if they can't do this due to T-Mobile or other carriers) etc. etc." This thread is a continuation of two previous threads (my first two attempts to make a list like this, though I realized the name was misguiding). First: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/a4caf849677256a1/51f6536dee9eb323?lnk=gst&q=schiffres#51f6536dee9eb323 Second: http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/fcbbfbcf398687a/2bdb8b1cde470ad7?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=schiffres#2bdb8b1cde470ad7 In the spirit of open source and as members of the Android community who care about its success, while perhaps not being in a position to write the code yourself (a smallish portion of the world knows C++ and C), please help by contributing your time and ideas, suggestions and feedback, for those who can implement them into the platform. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
