In case you weren't already aware, I just went through the process to change one of my Gmail address, pretty straightforward.

 

Going through my password manager now updating all my accounts/logins with the new email address.

For the noob, what is this? 
so changing the username, but keeping it as the same account?

Correct, changing the username/email address aka the first part before @gmail.com

 

Once changed, the old address will remain in the background and will continue to receive emails sent to it.

Thanks for the heads up, I couldnt download the AA app due to me using an australian address for Gmail on my phone.

 

Just added a NZ addressed 2nd GMail account and managed finally to download the app.
