In some of antlam's mock he wanted to use switches instead of checkboxes in our preferences. We couldn't do this easily because SwitchPreference was introduced with Android 4. Now that Android 4 is our base line it should be simple to replace some of the checkboxes with switches.
@antlam: Do you have or want to create a list of settings where you prefer to have a switch over a checkbox? I only remember the notifications settings (bug 1247788) but those haven't landed yet.

From a quick scan, these are the areas where I think makes sense to have a switch instead of a checkbox. They're mostly one off features and preferences.

xml/preferences_general.xml isn't used anymore. Replace it with the xml-v11 version
and then remove it from the xml-v11 folder.

This looks good! I filed bug 1261137 to group data-related prefs in Advanced under a title.

Yeah, I filed bug 1261037: We shouldn't have any *-v11 up to *-v15 anymore since we use minSdkVersion 15.
