In order of priority:(But all are important, necessary and urgent requirements)

1. Update method of SFOS needs to be revamped/overhaules such that resetting the device does not bring SFOS back to some initial version and the latest available/installed version actually present prior to rese of the device remains without any effect; i.e. no matter how many times the device is reset SFOS version should never rollback.

2. Android APIs need urgent upgrading to 6.0.1 Marshmallow or beyond(Android N) upon release. Jelly Bean 4.1.2 currently in use inside SFOS is way too old. Also all accompanying android utility features like doze, permission-handling, now-on-tap, voice-recognition from any screen(lockscreen included) etc.

3. Improved use of the NFC module/feature to allow pairing of NFC/Bluetooth devices, recognition of NFC tags(apart from any sort of attachment other half), sharing of data including webpages, files, videos etc., duplicating the screens on other NFC-enabled devices and vice-versa, payment etc. just like Android.

4. More controls for camera- changing resolution of video, video extension or format(.mp4, .avi etc.), audio recording formats, video light using the Flash, HDR and other modes and manual controls to the native camera app.

5. Gesture typing and bengali, oriya support to the native keyboard; auto-correction, word suggestion/prediction, auto complete sentence with full-stop and automatic spaces on use of commas, full-stops etc. accordingly, double-tap spacebar for period and full-stop to begin new sentence. Ability to customize keyboard color, transparency etc. from "Ambience settings". Also support for the third-party android keyboards like Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, Microsoft Hub Keyboard etc.

6. Ability to create VPNs; APNs and system indicators for the same when functioning.

7. USB & Bluetooth tethering. Wi-fi direct and DLNA and system indicators for the same when functioning.

8. USB OTG/Host support for Jolla smartphone.

9. Option to eject/safely remove external storage devices(otg & micro-SD) under "Storage" section under "About Product" or anywhere suitable & convenient within "Settings", as a pulley-menu option.

10. Sign of E or H/H+ or LTE alongwith the mobile data connected indicator beside network coverage status indicator.

11. Indicator to show if internet is available when wifi is connected; i.e. an exclamation to show no internet even if wifi is connected, beside wifi strentgh indicator and a corresponding note accompanying the network name under wifi settings in "Settings" saying "Connected with no internet". If wifi is connected with internet then an indicator beside wifi strentgh indicator depicting the same and the note saying "Connected". The wifi strength and above-mentioned indicators and notes should also be present for the wifi icon in the events pulldown quick switches and full wifi settings under "Settings".

12. Bluetooth indicator, switch and menu should also indicate status of bluetooth connection and device connected to respectively.

13. A torch/ flashlight switch like other switches in the events pull-down menu. Toggling switch will turn on/off the flash. This is very convenient. Also an accompanying indicator in the status bar to show torch is on on homescreen as well as lockscreen.

14. A translucent app-drawer that will have a light shade of the ambience colour currently in use. Ability to customize the transparency, latency and colour of this app-drawer under "Ambience" settings.

15. Ability to adjust notification time-out of those that pop-up on the top-left corner of the screen when screen is unlocked.

16. Equalizer and audio tuner for music, videos and other media configurable using pulley menu.

17. Improvements to front camera, removal of greenish tint.

18. Removal of "Connect to internet using:" popup whenever wifi or mobile data is switched on. This should pop-up when either of these two are on but no network is unavailable or they are connected but internet is unavailable. Please fix this.

19. Inclusion of a strightforward way to install google play store and services or ship them pre-installed.

20. Battery-saving feature that can be manually activated alongwith automatic battery-saving threshold activation function that can be configured with a certain percentage or kept totally off. But remove or rectify the property where the phone turns off wifi when sleeping even when it is connected in attempting to save battery. Due to this, wifi reconnects when the screen is woken up and download errors often occur in between these states. Also wifi randomly disconnects and connects automatically with the "Connected" pop-up even when the screen is awake. Please fix this.

21. Better memory handling and processor utilization optimizations of SFOS to make it snappier and resource- easy especially for the dual-core 1GB RAM Jolla smartphone.

22. Support for sharing apps like Xender, Shareit, Hike Direct that use wifi hotspot/wifi direct. Please begin incorporating these with the next version of SFOS. I'll continue to include requisite features with other posts.
