Giving this a go ATM. Really liking it!
Interesting how it changes theme at night time. Easy to use. Like the layout.

no that is a little annoying, you can probably send in something to them asking if its something they could implement in the future. Seems they listen to peoples ideas
If you are rocking a Chromecast and one of the following devices, you can now screen mirror your device to your TV

I did give it a go with my BT PS3 controller but the tiny bit of lag that's there is annoying.
I am using it to cast certain games that my 3yr old boy likes to watch whilst im playing. Bonus is im not having a kid trying to climb up my back whilst hanging onto my throat for support lol.

I just tried real racing..
Too much lag and the video looked crap.. I don't think the nexus 5 has enough grunt to play RR3 and encode H264 at the same time :-(

Started playing Leo's Fortune last night. Beautiful level graphics and some very fun game play.
Trying not to race thru it as its a little short but I got it for free so I cant complain.
Just a quick heads up for people like me who have had high data usage lately. My YouTube app has gone wild using background data. To change it go into settings, data usage, and click on the app and change Restrict Background Data

I wonder if it's not just Youtube, Pocket Casts is showing me 16mb foreground and 87mb background data and I've only played a couple of podcasts I downloaded over wifi.

Youtube is the only app that is giving me trouble but I have no doubt that there other rogue apps sucking data.
New launcher from Nokia. Strangely enough, it's region locked. Get It Here
It's different. Haven't used it that much yet to give decent feedback.

You used to use it via a Web Browser, now you can use the program in windows.
The web browser still works, and is better in some ways, but mirroring is awesome. (I am not using it, but the YouTube I saw was excellent. You need to root your phone for that to work)
