I watched the live keynote from the ongoing Google I/O conference on YouTube yesterday and was really impressed by the things announced there.. from Android wear to Android auto, and Android TV.

I just got the OTA for Android 4.4.4 on my Nexus 4. It could have been as easy as installing the update and rebooting my device, but the problem was that my phone was rooted. If I had installed the OTA directly I could have ended up with a boot-loop or have to re-root and installed apps all over again . I’ve had a similar experience in the past.

Ever since Google acquired and ceased development of Sparrow, I’ve been looking for that mail app that would take it’s place on my dock.

I got inspired to write this after replying to this post on Designer News. I have a very light setup and I prefer to keep it that way because I move around a lot.

I just love Android. I recently rooted my phone & installed Xposed. Xposed is a framework of modules that install functionalities you would normally get by flashing a ROM. So, for instance you can change the color of the icons in your status bar, or disable the annoying unsafe volume warning, or add a reboot option to the power menu, without flashing a ROM.
