Guise, I just changed my iPad mini for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, I really like it!
But I'm new to the Android universe so i was wondering, wich apps should I get? (outside the obvious: facebook, instagram, twitter)
And what are the best looking UI theme i can get?

- Shot, sorry - this isn't filled with Apps like I thought. i think I might mean the thread set started on a different forum. d'oh.detritus

- I just looked through that thread for the big list I made you ages ago, it's not in there though =/set
- I thought I emailled you a copy of those posts a while back?detritus
- Can't find anything. I seem to remember asking you to post it here somewhere, thought it was the android thread

You may know this already but if you download Google music on your desktop, you can upload your iTunes library and playlists (up to 20gb for free), then get Google music on your phone and stream from anywhere

Is it possible to upgrade Android Lollipop to Android Marshmallow or in the Android World you can't upgrade system like that? Teach me i know nothing about this
- OS upgrade are, outwith Google's Nexus series, entirely dependent on the OEM pushing the update. You can wait weeks, months, or years for a major update.face_melter

I bought many of those premium UI themes.
They eventually slowed down the device.
Now just using Google Now UI and happy.

Another questione,
i don't really like the Gmail app... is there another email client that looks better? The Gmail app on iOS is much better
- I just started using AltoMail, clean interface and some cool features.Beeswax

- You must be joking. Gmail on my ipad is awful compared to the perfectly refined, up to date, full focus android version...set
- The Outlook app is good, I use it on iOS but I think the Android version is on an equal level.face_melter
- ...at least it was when I was using a Nexus 5.face_melter
