I'm going to help you out as nobody is replying in this thread.
The poll doesn't have enough options. I can't really decide what would be the most important feature although I could list some towards a perfect OS/Phone.
You need encryption (stronger than SHA256) by default (in addition to biometric security). Just make sure you don't do what Android did. Enabling the encryption slows the phone. It should be themed between iOS and Android in addition to using up less resources and having less preinstalled junk. Just look at Android it becomes slower pretty quickly. Samsung puts 50 apps on the phone out of which I don't even need 10.
The phone has to have excellent security and resource usage, stability, simple UI, fast and it has to be battery friendly. The current operating systems do have all of this to a certain degree which is not enough.
Is the API ready? What language was this coded in? C# and VB.NET?
Thanks for your participation and you make excellent points!
Some of those I will have to get back to you on for exact specifics or approval to mention...
The Æther Kripton OS is centered around security and privacy, has no back doors and won't be bloated with malware and unneeded permanent APPS.
The Æther OS is a simple and efficient code.
We feel the same way you do which is the main reason the Æther OS was created.
We have spent a good number of months translating TOR to .NET C# but as noted we shelved the project and decided to make something different and what we feel is ultimately more secure.
A white paper will be released soon.
The encryption is not an add-on. It's built in...
Do you really trust any of these behemoths? They have already provided all the back doors access so their touts of encryption and privacy are to allay the public's concerns. They won't be able to get out of their "contracts" so easily as they have been paid handsomely. Let alone they have all been compromised from the inside.
BTW- Awesome quote in your profile!

1-5-15 SDK UPDATE:
New Release Additions:+ Video Input (input as webcam for emulation purposes)
+ Audio Output
+ Example app (including course code) showcases video input (as a box that can be moved around with the pointer) and audio output by audio generation when buttons are clicked.
+
Fully transparent Tor- and VPN-targeted classes which can be used (as alternatives) to the standard .NET implementations (e.g. AEtherSocket.) Full backend Tor and VPN infrastructure will be implemented on the device. For now the classes are there to be the methods and code building blocks by which seamless TCP security operations will take place in future, on the KOREphone.
+ Bug fixes
Æther SDK 0.3 Installer:https://mega.co.nz/#!uRlHAaKS!Wzw8Q_0UhxMXFQN31NqnH5PMTAx1kDSpz29uKn0yeM8All necessary APIs required in order to write 99% of apps is now complete (the exception being some games and apps that do 3D graphics.) Any extras which may be required will be added by request from any devs writing apps, of course.
The hardware rendering infrastructure is next, followed by hardware integration. In the meantime devs have essentially everything they would need in order to write their apps.FYI: Attached is a summary of the OS components, it’s currently at just under 17K lines of code. That’s a lot more actual code; I’ve still yet to determine exactly how much that is but it’s easily double or triple the number.
Sorry this thread does not have the most recent updates but the XDA Forums does.
