What do you want in iOS 8? [Merged]

Alright, long story short.

Basically, I would like to see the jailbreak tweaks that I am currently using to be implemented in one form or another into the official operating system. There would be a LOT to list, and that list is likely to grow in the near future. :D

And you want to have every app in a folder why? I sure don't want that.

All the apps were put into various folders, for example, all my music app were inside the music folder and all social networking app were inside my social folder. All of folders were merged into one folder. If you do that, you do not have to scroll down a lot. Put everything in one folder makes your iPad looks so clean. I am getting tired of rows and rows of icon without ability to customizing the springboard.
 
Automatic night mode theme with adjustable timing, something like the scheduled do not disturb mode. would be sweeeeeet!
 
- quick reply: reply to messages/fb messenger/whatsapp straight from the notification
- control center customisation: settings app has options to customise control center toggles e.g. Switch Bluetooth toggle to mobile data toggle
- better do not disturb scheduling: give ability to schedule do not disturb in the same way as scheduling alarms e.g can repeat one schedule over weekdays, have a different schedule for weekends. Also have option for calendar events to automatically trigger do not disturb for the duration of the event
- clear all notifications, clear all running apps
- less white, for example, a more colourful music app
 
A Home folder--that is, a public ~/ directory, which would enable the user to store and organize files and access them between multiple apps (like a real operating system). The file management system of iOS is simply atrocious. It is clear that the ability to store, open and edit documents on iOS was an afterthought and the current workaround of making each App maintain its own private copy of each file is clunky as hell.
 
I want 3 things:

Android Grid system. Let me put apps anywhere in the grid.
Android Widget system. Works with the icon grid to allow various size widgets.
Up Next in the Music app.

Any time now would be great. Thanks. :)
 
I would like more options in scheduled DND like set it for different days so like on a weekend can have a lay in and so on.

I was thinking about this and i really cant decide. Of course we all want iOS 8 to be faster but besides that what do you want to see in iOS 8? I'm really looking forward to see what you all have to say.:)

1) Ability to choose which apps iOS defaults to using for certain things. For example, one could have Siri create a reminder in Remember The Milk instead of the built-in Reminders app. Maybe one would even change the default Maps app to Google Maps.
One of the things I like about my Android tablet is that anytime it is to have a task done, and I have multiple apps that can carry out the task, if I did not set a default app, it will ask me which app to use and if I want the app to be the default app for all tasks of the same type.
2) A contact whitelist. I only want to receive calls and/or messages from people I know who don't annoy me by calling and/or messaging me.
 
Have numbers in main keyboard page.

Stop with requiring iTunes to sync music ringtones and media. File browser.

Choose a default general notification sound like android. I want all notifications to have one sound, some apps have horrible notification.

The numbers in the keyboard are a must have!

No. They can have it so you hold down the any of the top row letters to type a number.

That would interfere with the existing accent character functionality.

BTW, you can hold and drag from the 123 button.
 
It wouldn't, just adding an extra character. I use HTC android phones and that's how they have it done.
I've just tried the hold and drag they on 123 button and it's annoying and slow because let's say I have to type a symbol I need to find where the symbol is, whereas if they had it on the main keyboard I don't have to be searching.
Even the HTC keyboard is smaller than the apple keyboard on the iPhone.

I'd also like the ability to be able to apply the different camera modes within the iMessage app without having to take the image on the Camera app then send the image that way...
 
my needs.
1. iOS should be able to cook food (continental)
2. Help me go to moon
3. help me war against martian.
 
More intergrated security would be great. Requiring password or biometric authorisation to turn off, allow sim ejection and to turn off celular data. Even when off the phone should maintain a single data single for FMi.

So authorization to perform a physical task like SIM ejection? And have the phone still be technically on when it's off?
