Coming from an LG G4. I see I can no longer alter app icons on the home screens. Quick Remote is of course gone. I can't assign a different background image for individual Smart Message conversations anymore. Nor can I select different speech bubble types. The themed LG keyboard skins are no longer an option. The widgets no longer stretch to the extreme edges of the screen. Smart Notice is gone.

It feels like I just paid $600 to give up all my favorite software for slightly better hardware.

You know, minus the whole boot loop issue.

Yeah. Unfortunately these manufactures subscribe to the philosophy if it ain't broke, dump it. I hope what ever year we get Pie that LG doesn't do what Samsung did and take away video pro mode with the upgrade.
