Some features you may be used to such as video unlimited are NOT supported in the initial release territories.
You cannot install them after either (without root)
Wait at least for a region that has the same support as yours.

Here is how

I'm going to hold fire. It's a matter of days now before Europe gets to taste the lollipop. If you will

I had a taste and on the whole it's a very good update, it's clean, fast and animations look just that little more refined.
After playing for a few hours I reverted back to the chocolatey biscuit of kitkat and will wait a version with my psn /Sen apps supported.

is the home launcher much better? Or am I better off staying with nova launcher? it's only the "infinite swipe" feature on my home screen I use nova for.

[Lord_viridis]

It's mostly the same but more refined and better animated.
