Better battery performance, more speed, lockscreen shortcuts, battery percentage in the status bar, better tablet modes all sizes, refinement all around, amongst other things I can't think of right now.

Wait got more. Unified messaging, chrome improvements with cloud rendering flash? Really don't get why that hasn't been done. Arm processors just don't like flash so why not render it on Intel Xeon servers and stream it to mobile browsers?

Multi window support for tablets I mean it would have to be written into the app, but still why not? Can't tell you how much I use aero snap on my pc would love to have that functionality on my Nexus 7.

Lastly swappable lockscreens, so developers can make seamless lockscreen replacements, instead of the way it is now where they just run overtop of the stock lockscreen.
[Nexus 7 General] antp121:
Wouldn't like green or red be awesome? Better yet, make it like window 8. You can choose a color on setup.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Can someone send me a link?

XD

Seriously... I dunno. MultiWindow support would be cool. It would really help with running Android on a larger screen as "Desktop Mode".

Built in Theme Support. Universal Android Core updates. Modular "Skins" (aka Sense, Touchwiz, etc)... Maybe Themes/Skins can be the same thing. They talked about it before.

Better gamepad support. Native pads with dual joystick and allows multiple pads. Getting several gamepads setup for gaming is tedious and only works with WiiMotes ATM.

I liked the App Sync feature suggestion. Needs an option for autosync to cloud somewhere. It'd save me from having to manually do it or use a 3rd party app like DataSync which requires root.
[Nexus 7 General] lowsnamebrand:
The ability to disable multiple lock screens I find that feature ridiculous
[Nexus 7 General] mkmonkey:
More stable USB OTG support

Mainly on the USB storage and external USB DAC for audio
[Nexus 7 General] bryan314:
Built in remote locate, lock, and wipe.
[Nexus 7 General] samdroids2a:
Multi window and more customization options :P
[Nexus 7 General] pboesboes:
The language isn't the problem. If there are slowdowns it's generally because of unoptimized coding in apps. And comparing iOS with Android is kind of silly, considering they approach things in such a different way.

On-topic:

More of a dev thing, but support Java 7 ffs! It was released nearly two years ago! :eek:

Its a nexus device that's not getting **** blocked by a carrier. I think you are going to get it.
[Nexus 7 General] heccubusxda:
Not a feature, but a known issue that is long overdue for a fix; audio latency.

This is holding Android back from getting an amazing array of music apps that are available on iOS.

This is one area where Android is totally missing the boat; it's embarrassing actually.
[Nexus 7 General] spitfire2425:
I want to see a completely revamp'd UI. For phones and tablets. The stock UI is okay but that's what a phone should look like, not a tablet. They should set up a whole new phone and tablet UI.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Definitely agree. Their reason for the change was they felt the old tablet mode was too different from a phone and they wanted everyone to be able to pick up an android device and know how to use it. I get that but still there should be better ways to handle it. I mean the nexus 10 home screen looks terrible and ridiculous to have a gigantic navigation bar for 3 little buttons in the middle. I'm sure they can come up with a better tablet mode that still is familiar enough for users of android phones.

If anything reduce the navigation bar to just a rectangle in the bottom right corner, bring back the dockless much nicer looking launcher style of honeycomb, and have recent tasks go back to the honeycomb style too
[Nexus 7 General] filipathtc:
They will keep the holo design.I mean have you seen the leaked play store? But I like it though I would love to see the old tablet UI

I think that is a stupid argument.I mean we could give televisions and everything else the same UI and everyone would instantly know how to use it.But that would be stupid.Every product needs a specific UI that fits its size and function.You can't just throw the same UI onto every product.

(sorry for my bad english)
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah for what it's worth I didn't have any trouble when I got my HTC flyer with honeycomb on it, and at that point I had yet to use a phone with the new navigation system. I was confused for all of 5 minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] zphantom55:

Dude I haven't seen the 3.6 kernel anywhere on Android. 3.4 on the other hand is a major possibility.

Not saying 3.1 isn't great. It's just 3.4 or 3.6 > 3.1.
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
I think it would be nice if there was a nice bump in kernel version :) but has NVIDIA done a reference 3.4 kernel yet?
[Nexus 7 General] wags57:
Multiwindow
[Nexus 7 General] sgt. meow:
@markj338

I dunno. Which is what makes it all the more harder to even attempt a port (not that I would do one anyway).

The best we can do now is try and backport things from the 3.4 kernel (franco's hotplug designed for 3.4 works fab on 3.1).

Or we can create some kind of petition......
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
Why don't we all start crossing our fingers? I'm hoping for a 3.4+ kernel, not sure why but I am :) where do nvidia release their reference stuff? I found some nvidia forums which are pretty much dead in the android/tegra section

We'll have to wait another month and a half for Google io, :)
[Nexus 7 General] sgt. meow:
Then again you can't be sure Google will actually release KLP.

And someone's doing it for the One X: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640532
[Nexus 7 General] sgt. meow:
Yeah. I wonder though how that guy's doing it. I don't think any other Tegra 3 device has 3.4 kernel, which should make it virtually impossible for that guy to port. Unless he has bribed nVidia somehow....

Anyways I'm going to send him a PM, asking what he took as base.

EDIT: After some more research, I realised that there is indeed no other 3.4 kernel for Tegra 3. That guy has to be a genius.
[Nexus 7 General] sgt. meow:
Can't argue with that.
[Nexus 7 General] ostar2:
Actually its the Linux 3.8 kernel. It uses a lot less ram.

[Nexus 7 General] spitfire2425:
Like I said, new UIs for both phones and tablets. More tablet than phone. I would really like the option to change the color to my personal preference\cm theme support. Better handling of ram. It does well now but we all know it could be better. Greenify settings would be nice. Multiwindow support and a cool stylus (sold sepratly) that has a bunch of cool features. Better device intergration with better sync, an imessage like app. A cooler keyboard and lockscreen. There's more but I can't thinly of them off the top of my head. Forgive my bad grammar, I'm coming up with this stuff as I go so periods are in wrong spots. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] hummer010:
Agreed. This is something Google should have done already. I can already backup an app list for each device to googles servers. I can already sync bookmarks and browser history between devices. I've already got a Google drive account if we need the storage. I should be able to take a picture on my GNex and have it show up on my N7. I should be able to play a game on my N7 and have the progress show up on my GNex.

Datasync can do this, but I shouldn't need an extra app. It should be part of Android.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Play store also needs to backup saved data. Frustrating that if you unlock your bootloader, all game saved data is erased. I'd also love to not have to use titanium backup
[Nexus 7 General] The Gingerbread Man:
You can share your photos between devices if you make use of the instant upload feature where your pictures get sent to picasa amend from there you can create galleries or upload other pictiues to make albums for your android gallery. I do agree with you guys about game data being synced though, it should have been implemented already
[Nexus 7 General] blmvxer:
The only issue with wanting and adding more features is optimization, speed, and size.

I want it to be called kannabis kup^^

and i want better support for different users, with one admin and that you can also set it off completely, I want that they make the design lighter, as one supposes it from googlenow design.

[Nexus 7 General] keenofhiphop:
yeah that would be a small but awesome useful feature :)
[Nexus 7 General] raggedstone:
I just want to have the option to only auto update apps when charging. I've noticed that once I'd got 100+ apps installed, there's always something that is updating. The nexus 7 really slows to a crawl when apps are updating. It's a simple thing, but it would make the Nexus 7 seem a lot smoother.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
There's alot of things I want but most of all, I want buttery smoothness to return. 4.1 is rock solid and the smoothest fastest version of android to date, hell I just put cm10 on my old htc vivid and it performs nearly as fast as my Nexus 4! From the getgo it seemed 4.2 was rushed, and even after 2 patches my Nexus 7 still doesn't perform like it did before the update. 4.2 runs great on newer hardware like nexus 4 but it runs like crap on older hardware
[Nexus 7 General] WalterCool:
A game API and achievements. Lovely a game framework for 2d and 3d like cocos on iPhone.

Like one said, permission manager, but should be hard to implement...

I'm fairly happy with android how it is. Aside from under the hood improvements, this is about the only thing I really want. And maybe an update to play music's UI. It's kind of ugly.
[Nexus 7 General] markeithst:
Desktop mode, basically windows or widgets on screen. Different launcher, different notification, different status bar. If you change the loom every Android version it'll surprise the people. Better download manager, they implemented estimated time in 4.2.2 that's much better. Pie but more evolved. More accessible Android sync. Implemented drive cloud storage. Google needs to release a standard gamepad with built in settings.
[Nexus 7 General] jesseistop:
Multiwindow & .....

I love to see MultiWindow. I'm very jealous on the owners of a note device. Also a stylus with a lot of feautures would be great.

I also hope to see something like page buddy. But not just for headphones, also for some things like mood and place. Like when you're on your work a new page appears with al the things you need on your work. I think that's very usefull.

I also hope to see a thing like Game Centre but then for android, more customasation options and Google Babbel / Babble.

Btw sorry for my english

Well ok, i stand corrected on the purchasing thing. But the point SammyDroidWiz was trying make was that google's turn by turn navigation app can't be used offline. It would be nice to have that available cause it syncs up with your contacts/starred places.

The ability to choose what theme you want, sense 5.0 is excellent and that would be my choice but there should be a function to allow you to choose.

It would also be cool if they could somehow manage to improve wifi as in picking up a signal and instant connection.
[Nexus 7 General] joelbnyc:
Ability to customize top right drop-down menu is my #1 wanted feature. So much wasted space there- someone clearly intended ability to add shortcuts at some point. I want to be able to toggle on/off WiFi and location services without going thru 2 or 3 menus.

Thanks on the long press, that will save me time at least 4x every day when I exit and enter the subway ;) Just wish I could do same with location/GPS, it's such a battery drainer. I only turn it on for HopStop (subway/bus route finder), maps, and foursquare...

It's just so weird they have those seven menu options and nothing else.. 7's not even an even number, and the bottom right spot is empty, plus 4 more rows that could hold at least 12 more shortcuts or toggle switches.

Random too, who picked airplane mode? Who turns airplane mode on and off so much?

[Nexus 7 General] PVL_93_RU:
Are you kidding? MTP is x100 times faster than normal mass storage mounting, I can transfer give of files in no time with it!

So MTP definitely needs to stay and become a STANDART among Android devices
[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
Well not entirely rid it but integrate an option for the USB mass storage. And windows 7 64bit sp1 loves to give me trouble with transferring more than one file at a time. Multiple folders? You can forget about it. And for Linux PCs and Mac. Seriously pain to set up mtp. And as someone else said, connecting to game consoles.
[Nexus 7 General] tatazeuz:
Mass storage it's teorically impossible in N7, since it would require the N7 to stop reading it's internal memory while connected to the PC.-

BTW, AirDroid it's the best solution so far.
[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
I am OK with that. As long as it works. And something that would only mount the virtual SD card would be a perfect solution. Just like with older phones.

Another thing I want to see is an option to disable the stock launcher. If you notice the stock launcher stays in memory constantly, and unless developers add a keep in memory option to their launchers, the system constantly kills third party launchers, and who really wants the extra memory and cpu usage?
[Nexus 7 General] The Gingerbread Man:
The thing is its really not fun when you screw up a 3rd party launcher and have frozen stock launcher and make the mistake of rebooting. I had this when apex was in its infancy betas and trust me android with no launcher is almost impossible to use, especially with force close messages coming up all over the place. Factory reset / reflash is about the only way out.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Well I think they could implement a fail safe somehow that could allow you to go back to the stock launcher in the event of a third party launcher failing. Main thing I want is just for the stock launcher to stay in memory constantly when using a third party launcher.
[Nexus 7 General] PVL_93_RU:
Safe mode! That's what we need as a reboot option (so seeing APM in 5.0 would also be cool to see)

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

The operating system has nothing to do with overheating issue

The tegra 3 in N7 is a rapidly heating CPU on its own

And what adds to it is the kernel/kernel settings or tweaks used in the ROM which only made the situation even worse

Try the same ROM with another kernel (even stock one, if the ROM allows it) and see for yourself what's causing the trouble you have faced
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
Safe mode is already in android, isn't it? Bring up power menu and hold the reboot option for a few seconds, it should come up. Maybe its a CM feature though I am running CM on both my devices :P

And about the overheating, mine never overheats so maybe voltage is a big player here (although is it likely they'd play with voltages?) I agree tegra 3 is very hot compared to some other processors but really, there's not much we can do or complain about.

I'd still like to see a new kernel, really hoping for this. I like the idea of a new look/color scheme as this one is like 1.5years old or something, ever since gnex/ICS. I do believe they are going down the path of a google now look, see here
