I was watching a video of new a camera (the new Hassie l, but that’s irrelevant) and mentioned something almost as a complain: these new models bring less and less new features. Well, that’s where we are right now, with the current release cycles, more of these incremental changes.
Sad news, Nova Launcher is no more… I really liked it, was the perfect mix of clean, configurable and smooth, often when trying launchers I’d start feeling it was getting it was getting to much in my way. Nova didn’t do that. I’ll probably go back to the stock launcher.

Unfortunately, we cannot change the email address associated with your account. If your email address changes, please create a new account using your new email.
I find incredibly strange when someone doesn’t allow an account’s email address update, mostly because it sounds very lazy and I start to wonder what else didn’t they want to do…
