Little tweaks you'd like to make to IOS.

Owen

Purpose of the thread is to identify things that could be done a teensy bit better in IOS to tidy up the OS. Not to say 'Well, if you jailbroke it you could have that'. So let's hear your suggestions!

I wish you could delete pre-installed apps. I've never used Stocks. I don't use Weather as I've a few different weather apps in. Same goes for the Calendar.

I don't see the point of having the iPod app on the springboard if you can just double click into the recent apps dock, slide to the left and have if there. I also don't see the point in a contacts icon on the springboard if I can hit phone, and then push contacts.

I wish in the multitasking dock when you slide to the left and have screen orientation they'd put a quick on/off toggle in there for Bluetooth too. I mailed Steve with the suggestion, finger's crossed!

Delivery reports! The jailbroken implementation of this is uber slick, and something Apple should adopt asap. It's lacking from the OS in a big way.

And I'd love a 5 icon dock. I loved mine when I'd 3.1.2 jailbroken.

If you use another audio streaming app the ipod icon is replaced though. It's grand to be honest. What I want is a youtube app upgrade so I can use higher quality settings.

Be able to to change the text colour on app icons - clashes horribly with some wallpapers

Being able to select all mail messages after selecting edit.
You cant do that at the moment can you?
It is needed!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you - but I can move the iPod icon off my springboard. I've also moved my camera icon there instead of my contacts icon - which sits somewhere else.

Yes! I can't believe they didn't make it easier to toggle Bluetooth/Wireless. It seems like such an obvious thing given they don't want people complaining about battery life.

Lastly, I wish they'd included widgets on the lock screen. Unread texts, mails, calls etc. Something customisable preferably.

Id like to see a lot of the jail break apps that are usefull. Volumebuttonextender that allows you to use volume buttons to switch tracks. Also, a counter for characters in texts. Android lock, a slide to unlock pattern. Loads more but they are main for me

When you go to type an email address into an email adress field on a webpage or other form. The Shift is on by default so you have to tap it to release the caps. Annoying cos I don't think many people start with caps in their email address
