I just got information that they are no longer available. This is according to the specification, and how Google has defined it.

Unlike the BLOAT on various other OEM's software,

Sony's mini apps, gallery app & Music player on the Z series were imensely useful.

Absolutely gutted, I've gone from my z2 to the xz and my mini apps are gone so has record screen functions. I used the mini calculator all the time. Why do you do this Sony? I might sell the xz and get my z2 back!

Are there any alternative to those lovely mini-apps?

The floating memo and calculator in particular were immensely useful!

Please bring them back Sony!!

I agree, the mini apps were really splendid.

Strange thing is that companies always say they listen to consumers demands but somewhere on the way to the higher decision ranks those wishes seem to dissolve or are being bended in a completely other direction.

This is not only true for Sony, the majority of global companies seem to have this magic witch bowl inside. The outcome is always unpredictable.

Decision makers seem to live in another world.

I think it is the economy that prevails or maybe a lack of common sense.

On the other hand: constant transformation is the only constant factor in life.
