Features you want in Android?

What features would you like in next Android version? Key Lime Pie?

I would love these features:
Going to the camera straight from lock screen yes I know you can do that but without needing password. So you can quickly take photos. (like iOS)

Also another feature would be notifications on the lock screen. You can't access notifications when locked (with a pin/pattern) which is annoying as I really want that due to that I remove pattern lock on my phone.

Another feature (which I highly doubt will ever be implemented in any Android version) is not exactly a feature but all the companies with skins like Samsung with TouchWiz and HTC with Sense etc remove skins and just give that an addition to the customers to download from somewhere like Play Store (but only compatible devices should be able to download) which will be very nice and you can experience pure Vanilla/Stock Android on powerful devices like S3 or S4, HTC One, one's that are coming out

What do you guys want?
 
First one is already a feature, on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1 (then again it could be CyanogenMod). You swipe to the left on the lockscreen and the camera app pops up.
 
Not so much an ANDROID request, but, how about FM radio w/o having to have earbuds/headphones plugged in as an antenna, to work properly.

I know you can stream radio from the Internet, but, I'm wanting an FM signal that's independent of a data connection on my phone that'll work w/o the abovementioned wired headset.

The reason the lockscreen security is used to so those features aren't usable. If I lose my phone, I don't want someone to be able to use it as a camera or look at my notifications. It's either security or convenience, you can't really have both.

The feature I want (and am fairly sure will be in the next version) is data sync across devices. Now that the n7 is a hit, people will want their game data on all their devices. Amazon did it, time for Google to make it happen.
