  • and once i put back/restore my nova backup, all will feel the same as before (kitkat/lolli) :D

  • Split-screen multitasking

    Eager to try this out once more devs add support. I wonder how it compares to Samsung and Rockchip's version.

    Always On VPN

    Pretty sure this has been around forever. It's definitely in Lollipop.
