Paid wallpapers & lockscreen widgets - 10 old Android features that Google removed over the years

As Android grows exponentially with every major release, some of its features inevitably perish, making room for alternatives or disappearing completely into the ether. It's the way things go since the dawn of software development, and it's the way things shall remain! To commemorate those Android features that are gone, but not forgotten, we lined up ten pieces of removed functionality spanning almost every version of the operating system we know and love - down to Android v0.9!

If you have stuck with the robot through the years, we're pretty sure you'll remember some of it. Enjoy the trip down memory lane, and feel free to argue that Ice Cream Sandwich was times better than Lollipop because its browser had pie controls!
