I see you added Adfree, very nice program, however it uses an insane amount of RAM 50 MB or more while running in the background. I therefore use Adaway which seems to work really well but uses NO RAM because it edits the hosts file.

runs good no bugs as far as i can see. I tried the MIUI player but lyrics were in chinese... dont know if thats normal? No problem though, can always change mp3 player. Also out of interest, why s-voice and not google voice control?

like the features on s-voice
but considering that s-voice is another power hungry app will look at replacing it too
