  1. @nikoofdeath Thanks. Hope that you have at least Android 7.0, because upcoming release of # won't support older firmware.
    BTW in Android 8.1 news I read that this newest version of # could be run on devices with only 1GB or RAM...

    1. @andstatus But why?

      1. @xrevan86 In short, the decision to switch to # 7.0 minimum was made to motivate me, @yvolk - developer of #, to continue active improvement of this # application.
        I am a professional Java/Scala developer, and as a majority in our profession I need to keep my skills up-to-date. Starting from Android 7, developers can use all new and trending features of Java 8 and modern application approaches, including functional programming. Especially after mastering # I simply cannot use outdated language patterns... As one of my colleagues put it: I simply cannot afford writing for free something that is not a "Cutting edge".
        I think that this is not bad for all of us in the long run?!

          I've noticed here that the developer bumped the required Java version to 1.8 without killing any compatibility. Maybe there's still a way?
