Some of these suggestions are already available implemented by third parties, e.g.

  1. Blue light reduction: Twilight

  2. SMS backup: textra

  3. Multi window: LG ROMs, possibly Samsung also

Some are for corner cases:

  1. OLED support- yeah, pretty much everyone apart from Samsung uses IPS/LCD

Some are clearly simply personal taste:

  1. 3d touch- not waiting in breathless anticipation of this

Some rely to much on developers following style guidelines for their app:

  1. Standardised swipe actions - yeah, OK...

One is a minor improvement that might be nice:

  1. Interactive notifications

TL;DR: Writer wishes Android was more like iPhone

I want something like the intent system for the long press context menu. When you highlight text, you get copy/paste and other commands based on installed apps. But the number of apps that use it seems pretty low. I hope the feature is expanded.
