Here i have listed features which others have, and which i think should be good also for Sailfish when we think at daily use:

1) App permission setting for Alien Dalvik 2) Integrated support for bluetooth devices like Activity bands etc. 3) Integrated search inside the system (absolutely not web-search) where you can search apps, folders etc. 4) Support for downloaded ringtones for example from Zedge (android app) 5) Screenshot without different app 6) Power save mode 7) Answering to new messages direct from notifications without opening the app EXTRA! This is not a feature but i would like to own Sailfish smart watch ;)

And of course it's very important Jolla will give updates more often than today. Like Canonical gives updates on it's Ubuntu Phone OS once in 6 months.

Write your own suggestions down and lets find missing features! :)

You should search for pre-existing questions about these feature requests first and if they don't exist, open one question per suggestion so the comments wont become one big mess.

And about the updates, they used to be almost monthly thing until the tablet stuff hit the fan and they had to downshift.

Please, do not duplicate feature requests already available and please, do not create collecting wikis at random or your good will. What you are asking for is the general purpose of this Q&A platform and not desired to put into an un-votable clustered single-thread wiki.

to 1) API23 Marshmallow feature (jolla1:API16), though you are able to deny access to your contacts of individual android-apps in aliendalvik settings

2) full Bluetooth LE support not available in Bluez4, Bluez5 not available because Jolla not going to re-license emitting/receiving rights (for Bluethooth/GSM/wifi) -> only possible for new devices
but you are able to perform a manual hcitool -i hci0 lescan as root and maybe you are able to connect to device (if connected all you need is a sailfish-app for your device...).

4) it's not an android phone and calls are handled by SFOS, not aliendalvik. So if your ringtone is not in a common audio file format, you're out of luck

5) use pkcon install lipstick-qt5-screenshot [jolla repository] to install screenshot
