"What changes would you like to see Google include with Android 4.3?"

Ore Najib pure android doesnt lag on quad core . my nexus 4 never lag since i bought it .

Harvie Galenzoga Boles the problem is within android OS architecture

Matthew Lee Swanson I'd like to see them give you more control over the arrangement of your home screen. For example, most phones have ginormous screens and eye-poppingly-high resolution--so why are we still stuck at 4x4 icon grid?! Like many 3rd party launchers, why can't stock Android allow you to change that and make use of your bigger screen with higher resolution? I'd also like to see more widgets for productivity included. Smoother animations. Increased battery life. Maybe a slightly better camera app on the stock interface.

Joseph James Gabo Retina controlled interface

Johnny Ezell Jr. Nooo man they are talking about Android 4.3 not TouchWiz. Pure Android does not have battery % in the status bar. My GS4 has it but my GNex didn't because it was "pure" Android. Unless I was running a custom rom.
