Make important things fast
Not all actions are equal. Decide what's most important in your app and make it easy to find and fast to use, like the shutter button in a camera, or the pause button in a music player.
These Android design principles are all well and good, but someone needs to explain how when someone calls me on Ice Cream Sandwich*, it takes a good 2-3 seconds sometimes to resolve the phone number that's calling into a name and picture.
