while on the subject of sparing disk writes, could the all the FS be mounted with noatime mount option ? Or at least with lazytime ? I guess this has to be done upstream ?

This would allow faster navigation/less clicks using the volume buttons.

(Maybe not if there are only two menu entries as this may get confusing to which line is selected)

It would be nice to have 2 fingers pulling-appart "zoom/unzoom" gestures.

This would be useful to increase/decrease the font size. eg. on menus, where I regularly click on the wrong item with my big fingers.

In st (if possible) reducing font size slightly would allow to see a bit more on the screen without resorting to rotate.

In Foxtrotgps, it to would be nice to have it mapped to the "+" / "-" toolbar icons.
