Hi Jiri,

I'm not an Android engineer but here is some feedback on your ideas
nonetheless:

(1) (2) and (3) - these should be reported as a feature request in the
bug tracker (as jbq says, please search first to make sure you don't
file a duplicate). That way it'll get assigned to somebody specific.

By the way I already see an icon next to SMS threads that were not
successfully delivered.

Long-press on home actually shows recent activities - they are not
guaranteed to be running. More generally, I suggest reading the SDK
docs on the application lifecycle and component philosophies of
Android. The system is designed to make "running" vs "not running"
transparent and something the user doesn't have to bother with so
adding a force quit button would be a step backwards, the system
already shuts down apps when it needs the resources for something
else.

I think the right solution here is to label the long-press popup as
"Recent tasks" rather than let people assume it reflects the need to
manually manage resources. Maybe I should file a feature request :-)
