Well the good news is that Oreo official release is being rolled out. People in the AOSP telegram chat have already started requesting Sammy release the Kernel source so FevaX and co can continue development.
Fingers crossed!

I used black asop theme from playstore. I am running the Alexanda 8.0 rom. (That's where the matrix in the pull down comes from. I also used uzamaki nav icons from vivid nav bars

Guys, tried several times to get substratum to work.
I had it before on beta 6. Without andromeda
Now on crap release I can't get it to work.
System ui crash big time. Even so bad I need to full wipe...
On different roms.
Any step by step again?
Ps.... nice theme... with the pixel 2 launcher. What font ?

I just have 2 questions:
- Is this version work with exynos processor?
- do i need to enable this app using adb commend? And install any other app? Or just install this apk and set it as default, because it crashed on me.
Edit: it works fine now after setting it as default, and no need to do any thing, juat install the apk and set it as default. Done.
Thanks

That fact alone had me passing to even try this version. I'll wait for the official update to Android Pie, I'm in no hurry.

For notification dots just go to notification access setting and allow the permission for the new launcher. It will work.

hi,
Samsung Experience Home 10 v10.0.0.61 was released.
Unfortunatelly, it doesn;t work for Android Oreo 8.0.
Can it be done something to be able to install it as previous version v.10.0.0.55?
Thanks.

I faced a bug after sideload Samsung Experience 10 launcher
Downloaded Experience 10 launcher for my Samsung S9+, after setting it to my default launcher, it worked for me but i faced a bug, the notification dots for apps not showing up. Rest the overall experience of using it was good.
sideloaded it from here: https://apkfeats.com/samsung-experience-10-launcher-v10-0-00-51-apk/

After install....is it like a normal app? Can I uninstall it like a normal app?

Clear cache and data of that app and set it as your default launcher. That should fix the problem.

Here's a thread of what doesn't work in these builds. (Constantly updated):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/broken-features-current-android-pie-t3845763
Update file can only be sideloaded through ADB or installed from SD card from recovery menu. Install will fail if the current build version is not the same as mentioned above for each build
Disclaimer:
Install beta builds on you own risk. I shall not be responsible for any issues caused by the beta version of operating system.
Since the build is not final, it may not be good idea to use it as a daily driver because of various bugs, crashes and battery drain issues.

I hope there will be a beta build for S8 and S8+ Exynos.

just download some leak pie apps like email, notes app, or voice recorder, and see it you really dont like it, pretty much those apps represent this ui overhaul.

Not officially from Samsung. But something may come out. The S8 series isn't part of the beta program.

Hey suyash1629, I'm not new to xda but new to messaging someone on here and for the life of me can't figure out how to message you directly. I'd like the download for the beta for the regular s9. If you could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Question answered, please delete as I don't have that function.

It's not official. It's a leak. The official beta will allow you to probably upgrade from the newest security patch

adhell might,
swift installer needs to be updated :/
a rootless substratrum method might be made for Samsung again tho, considering Samsung Pie does still support themes.
nonetheless considering swift installer is just a total dark theme, I'll have you know that almost all of Googles apps either have a built in dark themed or are getting a dark theme sooner or later,
and WhatsApp (if you use it, I would be surprised if you don't) has a dark theme in the works.
You can always download unofficial apps/mods for other apps you want dark themes for, so even if swift installer doesn't get updated it isn't the end of the world

I also own a Exynos S9+ Dual Sim Germany unlocked. We will have to wait until the official Galaxy Beta Program launches and eventually also in your country. Then you will be able to sign in for the beta program over the Samsung Members App.

Beta 6 IS LIVE!

Downloading OTA now!
https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
Edit: Install was quicker than past betas. Not sure what's new yet.

Downloading Factory Imaging now!
https://developer.android.com/preview/download

Sad face, of course it drops when I'm about to head out for errands.

Has anyone installed ota beta 6 over rooted beta 5 ? Did it installed successfully? TIA

Just finishing installing Q beta 6, let's see how it is?
Ugh, still no swipe down anywhere on the homescreen to bring down the notification shade, like every frigging third party launcher has had for years.
Developers have said it was coming in Q 5 or Q6

Not using any modules. I mainly only root now for Adaway. On a side note, the buggers took away the option to use gestures with Nova launcher.

Also there is no screen pinning with gestures.
Edit: it works again after a factory reset

To those who have Beta 6, how do you feel about the updated gestures? I'm about to sit down and go from 5 to 6. I really couldn't get into the gestures, especially since I use Nova prime. Also, what's your overall impression?

Are you referring to the gestures itself (which were introduced with Q) or are there any significant changes in beta 6, because so far I havent noticed anything new.

So far, all I've noticed is that the swipe from right menu works way nicer than before. I found it almost impossible previously to get it to grab. Now it does nicely. You can also change the back button gesture sensitivity too. I haven't found anything else new yet.
Another thing that they were supposed to do was add fonts. So far, there are two options. REALLY lame. Google is supposed to be all about customization, but we can't change fonts, icons, nothing. Anyway, hopefully the other stuff we haven't seen yet comes on the stable release.

Can anyone post a Magisk patched boot.img? it seems latest TWRP cannot mount data nor SDcard. I just flashed wipe and cannot get root now.... Thanks!

And by the way TWRP for Q will only be available after release of the beta phase has ended. Don't install TWRP on your phone if you plan to use Q beta - booting it from fastboot though is fine since it doesn't alter any files - anyways it won't give you any benefits as it's defunct for Q.

The gestures itself. I tried them when 5 first dropped, but they felt too wonky to me, and they didn't seem to play well with Nova.

Google cam 7

Just curious if anyone has try to install the Google Camera 7 on the OnePlus 6 yet?

I did try but the version I found was beta and it didn't work at all. I hope that the stable version will be out soon!

Beta or stable, it won't work for our phones unless it's modded. There is an existing modded GCam 7.0 right now, but the modder decided not to release it yet.

Only settings work, everything else doesn't. Tried on Pixel Q and OBQ. Tried to force disable crashing but it didn't do anything. But Arnova sooner or later will port it so don't worry. He's amazing when it comes to GCam.

OP7 Cam also must be trash...i prefer Gcam anyday.

I couldn't even get the camera to install on my OnePlus 6

Give it a try :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog703/

FYI, just tried the 7.0.009 version, and the Camera app crashes after granting permissions.

You should be able to launch without crash on Android 10
