5. Most ringtones and notification sounds have been replaced.

6. Added menu for selecting FM radio recording quality.

==== Android 6.0 "''Marshmallow''" ====

1. The main design of the system has been changed:
:* The default Android theme has changed, instead of the cyan variant, the following colors are used:

::<code>#2F7CAF</code> as primary color for action bar,
::<code>#1C4967</code> as a background color for the main part of the notification panel.
