Secure line (encrypted/encoded voice channel)

Not sure if this is possible but it would be great if we can have voice calls encrypted or even just encoded. Will be even better if the secure line can be setup automatically. (detect whether Android phone at the other end, Key exchange with PKI)

mp3 playback when talking on phone

Would be great if we can play a mp3 file when making and answering calls. So we can play a "office background", "bus station background" or "Karaoke room background" to fool friends.

click "answer with office background.mp3" and "Hi honey, I am still in the office ~" :)

Maybe answering an incoming call needs to modify the existing calling screen?

Voice changer

Would be great if we can switch voice on phone. Will be even better if we can set voice parameters and change to be like a specific voice (me->Mary, me->Jane, me->John etc).

Photo frame picture gallery

I would love to see a photo gallery that would be used to show photos off to friends and family.
It would be neat if it could be attached to the Android Desktop like the clock is but in the side windows. (I'm new with this, don't know if that can easily be done)
It would only have pictures you picked to be in it and would have slide show options.

Please if anyone knows of an app like this let me know!

Better in-built battery monitoring

It would be wonderful if the battery monitoring features of android could be improved so that they could monitor the discharge curve of the battery and better report state of battery. While without smart batteries it's hard to know if the user has changed the battery while the device was off, it's kinda annoying to have the first few days of my battery life sit at 100% because the software can't cope with the 2400mAh battery I have.

Also, while we're at it, can we have a percentage displ

Bettery Gmail app interface

Gmail interface could use a lot of work, specifically in multiple selections. I would love to be able to select all or select all unread and be able to mass mark as read/delete.

Allow the Gmail app to handle multiple accounts simultaneously

The Gmail app can only handle one e-mail account. Jonathan Matus, Android Product Marketing Manager, talks about how he has two Gmail accounts and no other mobile platform allows him to juggle this well. He then fails to mention that Android does not either

Provide a desktop widget API for developers

There are several apps which would make wonderful desktop widgets to replace the default clock. Currently there is no API to permit this. Opening this up to developers would bring a great number of interesting widgets, not just clocks, to the android desktop.

Provide better uninstall reasons

The current choices for explaining why you uninstall an application are too confining to cover several common reasons. The two most common reasons I have for uninstalling
- Just testing
- Need more room for other applications

Allow users to ignore comments from other users in the market

As it may take a long time until a solution is implemented to keep the people degrading the market out of the market, a simple ignore feature would be wonderful. Generally the same user spams all apps with the same username/email address, and the s

Touchscreen Sensitivity Configuration

The sensitivity of the touchscreen should be user controllable. Length of 'long press'&area that has to be covered to register as a touch should be configurable. Different people have different size fingertips! It's frustrating to not be able to

Allow GENRE selection in the Music Player

The inbuilt Music application cannot sort the music by genre, which is how I, and I'm sure many others, actually use their music.

Theme install via apk or similar method

It would be nice if we had a way to modify the theme without need for root access or reflashing the system partition. Having an installable apk file

Fine-grained access point control

It is disconcerting not to know exactly how your device is connecting to the internet; it is obvious if it is WiFi, or if it is 3G, but WHICH 3G APN
