[Q] ROM request to devs who might care

I have tried a bunch of ROMs and have liked many features of each of these but now I know what I really want and would be eager to try a ROM that might be the closest in terms of fulfilling my needs below:
1. A combined mail inbox & a combined mail widget. This is extremely critical and is the main reason I stick with the Incdoes sense despite other issues (camera, force closes) and I have not seen it in others except Cyanogen (but the limitation was it showed only 30days email, not all)...
A gmail widget too - strange that there is none currently from android. Very odd. In fact, why cant I just have 1 combined inbox and 1 combined widget for all my 5 email accounts (2 gmail accounts, 1 exchange, 1 yahoo, 1 hotmail)?
2. The bottom launcher row (think they call it ROSIE) should be 5 icons - 3 is just a waste of space, I want buttons for:
a. Phone
b. App drawer
c. SMS/MMS app
d. Email
e. Contacts
I have seen these floating around but not sure which 5 icon rows are compatible with which ROMs...
3. Functioning camera (ID has not been able to solve this yet, fingers crossed)
4. Stability (tired of phone rebooting once in a while)
5. Very good battery life (surprised that my jailbroken and heavily modded iphone 4 has much better battery life than the droid inc - its not even close)
6. A theme such as rEVOlution (love this theme)
7. Fast as a bat out of hell (but obviously)
8. Smooth, minimal lags, no jerkiness (Obviously)
9. Reboot options built into power button press (recovery, etc)
10. HTC or Google News kind of app & widget with google reader sync (hated newsrob and other market google reader apps and love the news widget in the desire hd port - another reason I cant move away from it).
11. Friendstream or similar widget for facebook and twitter - many people dont seem to like the htc widget but its perfect for me.
12. At least 7 home screens - cyanogen had just 5 - not enough for me... And why do all the ROMs stop at 7?
13. App organization within the App drawer. Sorry google, but alphabetic only sorting is not good enough. Can anybody help with this?
People, please feel free to add your list of desired features and hopefully the ROM devs will add the features many of us request.

I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. No seriously though. I am creating a ROM. I'm new at this so it might take a while though. It will be called conical. I have thread going about it.

hahahaha. i know it was long. i know i know. just could not stop myself once i started. will def check out your ROM.

2 - Have you tried Launcher pro? You can customize the dock icons to whatever you want.
5 - Mostly life is related to your kernel. Try KK#5 w/ setCPU
I've been using uncommon sense for a few days and it seems to hit on quite a few of your point.
Good luck!

Sounds like you need Virtuous 3.0.1 Rom with the Custom Kernel and Launcher Pro (Paid version). This will address these items
#1 - Good luck with this. I like mine seperated but suspect this will be an App thing not a ROM thing...
#2 - Launcher Pro has up to 15 customizable dock buttons (three 5 button docks)
#3 - Camera works great (720p video too)
#4 - The custom kernel is stable and the ROM is only lightly modded so less to crash
#5 - I use SetCPU and underclock my phone to 806Mhz and my phone is still smooth and has much better battery life (Also use screen off profile to set 384Mhz)
#6 - Revolution Theme is an option through Rom Manager for this ROM. Easily flashed.
#7 - Battery Life and Speed will be a trade off. I find the ROM smooth and nice to use.
#8 - See #7 (Sort of redundant)
#9 - Easily done with a mod that works with Virtuous. I have it on mine and was as simple as a flash through ROM manager. Also smooth sense Icons mod works so I have % on my battery icon.
#10 - Good luck with this. This isn't a ROM thing it is an App developer thing and is a serious hole in the Reader Market. I totally agree with you and currently just don't read my Google Reader content on my Phone.
#11 - Launcher Pro has the Twitter, Facebook and Friends widgets you want (Paid for version only but TOTALLY WORTH IT).
#12 - Launcher Pro has up to 7 screens (Not my thing I only use 4 but you can pick any number you want)
#13 - Check out App Folders in the Market. You can use it with Launcher Pro and map the App Drawer to App Folders and then customize away. Want a Games folder in your app drawer? Go for it...
I've used Uncommon Sense and Virtuous a lot and am back on Virtuous 3.0.1 with the custom kernel and Launcher Pro and I am getting batter battery life than I had but as mentioned I've underclocked my phone (except when plugged in) and have the screen off profile max speed at 384.
Just tinker a bit more and you'll get everything you want with what is out there except combined mailboxes and a google reader app worth a crap. Good luck!

Thanks guys. Appreciate still the help! Only thing I can't figure out is how to use app folders with the app drawer. Need some help please. Rest all made sense and have been making those work.

Rom Manager isn't much use until CWM Recovery is fixed though.
Titanium Backup is great for restoring all of your apps if you're coming from another Android phone.

I find AirDroid useless when Google gives you Google Voice.
I prefer Root Explorer for management. Light Flow I imagine will be compatible with the N4

AirDroid can be used for so much more than typing stuff...
Adding music, deleting music.
Removing apps, adding apps.
Its really easy compared to hooking up a USB cord and going from there.

Photoshop Touch is incompatible, you need to sideload it. But do agree with a lot of them. Lightflow is a definite must, morequicklypanel is a good one but does take up a notification, and also for me Battery Widget Reborn is a quality app. great battery statistics

I like Pulse over flipboard try it. ^_^

Google Newstand is pretty cool too.But it consumes too much data.

Live Score Addicts and The Football App are pretty great for football freaks.

I also love Feedly (news content) and Swiftkey (probably the best keyboard). I also like Greenify very much, but it's unuseful now because we have no root on the phone.. (unless unlocking the bootloader which I don't want to do now).

What's the battery life like with all of these apps installed? Also, anyone try the Google Experience Launcher over Nova for their launcher?
I like the Google Now feature, especially with the feature to be able to say "Ok Google" at any time on your home screen. Gravity Screen also seems like it'd waste a lot of battery.

Lightflow has low utility as our devices only has the white led...
Sent from my Moto G

i use Chronus for clock, calendar and weather, it's a really good app

Here are some to start off:
ES File Explorer is my favorite file managing app
Airdroid
Dynamic Notifications is worth a try
Evernote
Pandora
TuneIn Radio
Dropbox
Skydrive
Skype

i'm agree, Airdroid is Awesome !

i forget a precious apps : Llama - Location Profiles to automatically activate/deactivate wifi, sound, or other things.

Android Reverse Tethering - Presently, you are required to connect / disconnect to a wifi signal before running this utility.

Must have apps on my Moto G :
1) ES File Explorer
2) Titanium Backup ( if rooted )
3) Skype
4) Mx Player
5) LiveScore
6) Winamo Pro ( for shoutcast )
7) PowerAmp for local music
8) Adobe Reader
9) Ebay
10) Flashlight
11) KitKat Launcher

For battery percentage you should use "battery overlay percent" it shows the % you have left as overlay on your original battery. :good:
I also like "Power schedule", for turning bluetooth etc. on and off. :fingers-crossed:

my all time list:
smart launcher,
bsplayer,
dropbox,
es file explorer,
jetaudio,
keep,
my cloud player,
quickpic,
skype,
stumbleupon,
tunein radio,

Sofascore<<< I'm convinced that this is THE best football/score app there is with a modern android design.

I use a sound through wifi a lot and definitely the best pair are: AirBubble for receiving (paid, or otherwise a lot of noise after half an hour of use) and Aoa for transmitting the signal from my Android TV stick.

Kasperski for security Free with my bank
Mobiledit to edit
Skype

Dropbox
NavFree as an bril sat nav.
One issue i do have is the lack of Flash player for this phone, i have tried all links to do with it, but no joy, any ideas?

Install Dolphin Browser, that has flash on it.

It did not work for me,
However,
Doing this worked like a charm.
Save the Flash player.apk to Google drive (this has filters and converters)
Once saved open from your device and hey presto it installs Flash player to your phone.
Apparently it will work this way on other apk files that don't install normally
i will try to find the link where i got the tip from.

Accu​Battery
? Designed to keep your battery in the best shape you can – AndroidHeadlines
Accu​Battery protects battery health, displays battery usage information, and measures battery capacity (mAh) based on science.

Battery usage per app is determined by combining these measurements with information on which app is in the foreground. Android calculates battery usage using pre-baked profiles that device manufacturers provide, like how much power the CPU uses. In practice however, these numbers tend to be highly inaccurate.
- Monitor how much battery your device is using
- Know how long you can use your device when it’s active or in standby mode
- Find out how much power each app uses.
- Check how often your device gets woken up from deep sleep.
? CHARGE SPEED
Use Accu​Battery to find the fastest charger and USB cable for your device. Measure the charging current (in mA) to find out!
- Check how fast your device is charging when the screen is on or off.
- Know how long it takes to charge your phone and when it’s finished.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Measure real battery capacity (in mAh).
- Use the charge alarm to prolong battery lifespan.
- See how much wear your battery sustains with each charge session.
- Look up the discharge speed and battery consumption per app.
- Remaining charge time - know how long it takes before your battery is charged.
- Remaining use time - know when you will run out of battery.
- Screen on or screen off estimations.
- Check the percentage of deep sleep, when the device is in standby mode.
- Ongoing notification for real time battery statistics at a glance.
