Post them here.

Ability to use 3d models for the skin so that 3d models from the original xbox dash could be imported and used.

Functionally ava is just amazing guys. Keep up the great work, it looks like it will cont to be my default dash for some time!!!

[Lysip]

How about ACL processing? I think it is a must for the next release...

[gnutellafan]

[Lysip]

Thats a good idea, have it dl the acl files based on what game your gona backup. Your thinking

[icesphere]

How about upgrading the usb keyboard support? Avas own usb driver perhaps? (dont even know if its possible though, but hey, thats about the only thing I think is missing)

Good work with the dashboard/qwix btw. coding skills kudos.

[muerte]

halo maps (ie prepatched halo NMP maps) like with RS3
Text Editor
skinning??

[ms2004]

I am still missing Defrag(!!!!!) and Scandisk option (i´ve seen quite a lot boxes with broken hd´s/need to scandisk), will it soon be in there as announced or is that completely canceled?

To choose from diffrent Keyboard Charsets within avalaunch would be nice?

And USB-Drive Support would r0ck but i think thats rather a function for the BIOS?

[KAC]

It would be sweet if we could stream the dash background pics using samba.

[ms2004]

A web server like in XBMC would be great.

[M3ATW0D]

Maybe for the background music on boot to use a Samba share over a network somewhat like XBMC handles it, that would kick ass!

[atlanta800]

BIOS FLASHING!!!!
Song selector (so you can choose your songs instead of them being at random(hold dong thumbstick instead of click maybe?))
Click right thumbstick changes ACAM/APOD pic
Ability to set XBox name (like in xTooBox)

Good solid dash I love it keep up the awesome freakin work!

[irascible]

game preview movie capability, defrag, and scandisk. The game preview is the only thing keeping me on another dash atm.

[Edirol]

Does avalaunch cache the autosearch dirs (games/apps) etc, so that bootup is faster? If not...add as feature

What I propose is use cache data unless a refresh of those dirs is called for. Similar to in media X dash.

Once connected to Kai, instead of showing the number of users in a given arena in the game list, how about the ability to see the number of users busy / idle? Even better, IMHO, would be the number of games currently being hosted (and open) and the number of users looking for a game. I find it frustrating as hell firing up halo (ava / kai showing 31 users in the arena) and getting in there only to find out there's no one looking for a game.

I'd love to see the kai chat integrated in ava too (usb keyboard support?).

The "connect to kai" option is buried pretty deep in the menus (don't necessarily want it to autostart), is there any way to add it as a line item on the main menu?

one last thing...how about some language filters on the those chat popups? I have a 7 yrs old nephew that loves to play on the xbox -- he really doesn't need to see the language a few insist on using (and yes, he reads well enough to recognize profanity).

awesome piece of work devs!
