Exactly. I (unsurprisingly[1]) run straight upstream Android on a Nexus 5. Until I picked up a Samsung Galaxy Camera as a toy in late 2012 I hadn't really tried to use a non-official Android, and was surprised at how different it was. One thing that's also quite irritating is people installing Cyanogen/whatever and espousing their favourite new features, and inevitably at least one is something that is actually part of upstream Android, just blocked or hidden by the manufacturer or carrier. 1: For those who don't know I work for Google as a Network Engineer in Sydney these days _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
