LOCKSCREEN
- Doesn't provide a way to dismiss notifications without unlocking and
visiting the utility tray.
- Can't open the utility tray from the lock-screen.
UTILITY TRAY
- Several of the quick setting are largely useless. 'Airplane mode', 'Data'
and 'Bluetooth' aren't things that I need to toggle regularly. I'd prefer
'Torch', 'Internet Sharing' or even better, a way to customize what goes
here :)
STATUS BAR
- This is arguable the most prime real-estate on the device as it's always
in view. Right now it's cluttered and full of icons I don't really care
about:
- Debug mode
- NFC
- Annoying flickering/distracting data icon
A lot of this stuff could be tucked inside the utility-tray or somewhere
else that's not always in my face :)
TOASTS/NOTIFICATIONS
- We have two forms of 'toast':
1. Slides down from utility tray ('new sms')
2. Pops up from bottom ('app installed')
Perhaps this is intentional, but seems like an area we could simplify.
- FxOS Notifications are bad meta bug:
