How would you improve Android's UI/UX, if you were in charge?

Let's say you have the power to make changes in Android UI/UX, what would you change in Android? NOTE: You cannot completely redesign it and come up with something new, but you can add bits and pieces and change things around.

I would...

* Go back to the Rolodex switcher - In fact, rip it out and make it part of the launcher so each can offer their own solution.
* Work out a deal with Apple and add spring back / edge bounce back feature everywhere.

Some Android manufacturers still don't have support for Bluetooth HID Device Profiles yet

In Android Pie, support for [Bluetooth HID Device Profiles](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothHidDevice) was added which means your device could operate other devices as a keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc strictly through Bluetooth without the need of an additional server, etc. I have been following and supporting the development of an app called JoyCon Droid which lets you use your 9 or later Android device as a JoyCon or Pro Controller on the Nintendo Switch.

Android Q and later ruins a huge amount of features, APIs and apps - a call for votes

Over the past years, I've noticed that Android got more and more restrictions, but there was always an explanation and alternatives.

However, on Android Q and later, there are just so many changes that are planned, that will ruin apps and the experience to users. Please check those up, search more about them on the issue tracker, star those issues, and optionally write something inside them :

[Meta] The sidebar is partly very outdated, any solution?

Hi guys and girls,

as a good reddit user i wanted to read the sidebar od r/android before posting and found a linknto the wiki or r/pickanandroid

the wiki pages with the phone suggestions is really outdated recommending moto g5 when the g7 is already released for less of what the g5 had cost.
Also some other stuff is missing or not relevant anymore as well...


i was wondering if this was a real issue or is abbandoned and/or legacy wiki pages

can one volunteer to do some maintainance?...

Huawei P30 Pro's camera isn't the best

Huawei has good cameras for sure, but the new P30 Pro definitely isn't the best when it comes to picture quality, color accuracy, exposure, dynamic range, etc etc. I think the reason people think it's the best is because of the 50x zoom marketing--which to me seems gimmicky. It has a 50x zoom, but its overall picture isn't good enough to be top tier.

The best would still be Pixel/iPhones.

I would say Huawei is around the same as Samsung. Not saying their cameras are bad--good cameras--just no...

Does your phone's camera have a focus lock indicator?

Something I really like about Nokia's (including the old ones) is that they have a focus lock indicator. It will let you know if whatever you are pointing at is actually in focus. Unfortunately Pixel for example does not have such a feature, so I'm not sure when I'm taking a close up photo if the subject is actually in focus.

Here's an [example on Lumia 950](https://streamable.com/iehri) of what I mean. You get too close, the focus does not lock. I wonder if it's just the Pixel that is lacking ...
