I would love to be able to do the following without the need of root access :
- Change resolution
- Change DPI
- Change fonts
- BLACK theme (i HATE the white theme) (at least add a night mode)
- Change the color of the status bar
- In Buzz Launcher you can set gifs as icons. When will the stock Android be able to do that??

              Dots are gimmick.

              My windows phone shows exact number of notifications instead dots (i.e missed calls, messaages, mails etc) and my previous phone (Sony Xperia) did the same.

              Shame on you google for not understanding simple things.

                  Used to use Lilli pad and PIP on YouTube for free and Droid 8.0 makes you pay for YouTube Red now. Talk about money hungry.

Then complain that iPhone users get five years of software updates when Android users barely get two.

                          I use both stock and modified Android. Stock is the way to go for better future proofing and less lag as time goes on...

                                  All the features of stock Android plus a huge bunch of extra useful features are present in MIUI, EMUI etc. Who would need stock android if they get many extra useful features with different UI

                                    New features are being added in android with each update. Meanwhile as an iPhone user I am still trying to figure out how to download more than 100 mb apps on mobile data.

                                      Everyone here's debating the technical aspects of Oreo and I'm just like "Why the Emojis Google?! They were innocent :'( ".

                                        Background execution limits will make real multitasking impossible, freezing everything that is not in foreground! Why the need for 4 or more Gb RAM when Oreo freeze everything in background? On ICS on my Galaxy S2 I could do real multitasking with nothing being frozen in the background, so Android get worse with every update even though the hardware today easily could handle real multitasking!
