My main gripe is I really hate how many screens and presses I have to go through to set what should be simple options.

I use my phone (2 to 3 year old Android) as my alarm clock. If I want to sleep in for an extra 20 mins tomorrow I need to.

1. Press clock button. 2. Press Alarm button 3. Deselect my current alarm to deactivate it 4. Press Add Alarm 5. Tap repeatedly on the "scroll wheels" to select correct time

If the phone had something resembling a CLI you could just echo the newtime + Alarm into the scheduler.

Another example I get a text message from someone who is not a contact. I want to save that number I have to open the message takes about 5 or six clicks to "copy" the number into address book.

Why can't I drop to command prompt "echo Phone no. Name >> address book
