December Update Brings Theming And Live Caption To Our Device - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

What the title says, We now have built theming like pixel 4/xl and live captions. Couldnt find a thread for discussion about these new features which gives us a new experience on pixel 3 devices. If you know of any more new features then please feel free to post in this thread.

These are a few screen shots of theming capability and live captioning. The LockScreen clock also gets a theme, we dont have the software to customise the lockscreen as of yet although the fonts get applied automatic.

Lockscreen font change.

Where are these settings?

Same. Still nothing for me. Don't really feel like side loading it. Lol. I'm not overly concerned about it. This is definitely the first time I've experienced this. My wife (same phone same carrier) has not gotten it either. We're both on Google fi. Oh well. Maybe next year. Ayyyyyy.

Thread closed per OP request

Honor 6x [BLN-L21C185] What's your current Update version?

Couple of questions, it would seem that the Honor 6x [Middle East version] has not received the complete Emui 5 update, twin apps are unavailable. As a Matter of fact it also hasn't received the August Security Updates yet. Can anyone with the C185 version's confirm this for me?
Would alsonbe appreciated if other version users could also confirm this for me. Thanks
B340
I haven't gotten security updates since the March one. What are twin apps? I'm using the US version I think.
B361, the update that came out in June I think, and yes it's full of bugs like my standby time drops form 60 hours to 19 hours after a week or so and then I have to factory reset (I've done all the usual things to prevent it but it suddenly drops :/), it has no app twin feature as the OP said, it's frustrating as the other regions are getting consistent updates and bug fixes but not c185 it's baffling -_-
---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------
Also the Rom is Laggy, the performance in games is the worst, the cell reception is weak as campared to the MM Rom that it came with, and the worse part is you can't roll back to MM now :/, firmware finder shows a b371 update that was made on 15th of August but it hasn't been released, but it's just the security updates nothing more

Twin app is using an app with 2 different accounts (whatsapp for example), it is like parallel space if you know it

Twin app is by default on Nougat for most of the devices (if I am not wrong)
Use this to get this feature and see if it makes any different- https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-clone-any-application-with-emuis-app-twin-feature-no-root/
I'm using a B24 device. Do you think Huawei will hold up updates for it? What is B24, US?

Until you get twin app, try parallel space in meanwhile, if you really need it
Really don't understand why 6X is missing twin app feature.
I think the first OTAs of the 6x don't include twin app, maybe the latest ones do

Google's "Pixel Themes" app

Saw this Article about the new Google Pixel themes. Tried to follow the steps to get it to work but apparently our PH1 isn't as close to a Pixel as I thought it was.
Anyone have any luck getting this to work? Or seen someone who has it working on another device somewhere on XDA that isn't a Pixel?
I was able to install all 3 apps, do the ADB command but the wallpaper app just Force Closes/crashes when I attempt to do anything.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...l-module-pixel-launcher-t3928648/post80340933
If you use this, go to post 11 or 12 and use the link there. The original mod is no longer supported, but Banks has continued his own version of the module. Works like a charm.
