tl;dr
firstly the widgets;
1.there is no way to have the "messaging widget" like in gingerbread, this was the one that had the red window and white background and when you replied to the message you where taken to a blue and white quick messaging application. i always used this.
2. no individual wireless/airplane mode/ blu-tooth ect. widgets. this is very annoying as i cant have my individual screens how they where before i transferred over from my droid 2. i am unable to find airplane mode without taking the time to mess with settings, this is bothersome.
3. the calender is practically worthless. i used to have a full page calender right on my screen, now isc's calender wants me to click on it and then view it, i shouldn't have to do this
4.no individual quick call widget, i believe now its all clustered into a single row and holds 5, i would like to only have 3.
5.i currently cant gain access to my verizon no matter what i do, with gingerbread's version i was able to click on it and load all my info.
6. the biggest one of them all is the phone app in gingerbread it was all in one convent spot now it is split into two different apps(seriously)."people" for contacts and "phone" for dialer,recent. this is unacceptable.
7. the gallery app is missing, only have picture slideshow, i am unable to find where i can view all my pics and there folders like in gingerbread's and pretty much all previous android versions.
apps.
1. there are 2 different music apps that seemed to share different parts of the original gingerbread music player. the one called "my music" shares the color scheme and somewhat of gingerbread's ease of accessibility of the players functions, it is currently unable to scroll properly and efficiently like gingerbread's and example of this is when you would quickly swipe your thumb across your music library it would practically go all the way to "z". this one cant, it will go as fast and as far every time no matter how forceful you are. also EVERY SINGLE TIME i open the app it wants me to set something up with my computer.I JUST WANT TO VIEW MY SONGS
the other one is called "google play music" this one has the same quick access widget as the gingerbread one. unfortunately this cannot make up for how much of a bother it is to use. when i click on the widget to change songs it goes to "artist" instead of "songs", and it want me to double tap to get the media functions like skip,next and so on.
2. the menu's for apps are now in a vertical small option box instead of a big horizontal display like in gingerbread.
-more to come-
functionality
1. why is it when i right click i cant view "motorola widgets, android widgets, shortcuts and folders. why is every option having to do with a wallpaper.seriously.
2.why when i hold down the option soft touch key i dont get a keyboard.
3. i cant find any battery mode, i would like to turn on night time saver
4.practically all of the settings that where nicely categorized are now all over the place in ics
