Updated Pixel 3 XL to Android 12 Beta 1! Woohoo! - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

After watching, 2021 Google I/O I was so excited for the new Android 12 w/ Material You!
And so I immediately updated my Pixel 3 XL from Android 11 to Android 12 Beta 1 on the release day itself! And It's nothing but amazing so far!
I see smoother animation and less stuttering while navigating around the phone. Material You has drastically changed most of the user interface!
So many changes has been made it to Android 12 (S)!

Can't wait for the next Android 12 Beta release.

Biggest question I have about Android 12: did they fix immersive mode? Google removed it in Android 11, so now I'm sure the battery, cell signal, and other status bar icons are burned into my screen...

What about Android 12 beta 2?

What's battery life like?
I need to freeze half of my apps just to get through the day on a single charge on Android 11.

honor 8 - from emui 5 back to emui 4.1

it's there any way to simply do it :
- battery life seems to be shorter!!!
- problem with unlock fingerprint when it requests password then (I have solved it with stock widgets for screen lock but takes so much energy
- I miss fingerprint unlock animation when icons spread up (now is just screen on)
- too much white background
I want back 4.1 what makes honor 8 maybe the best android smartphone on the market
From the looks of it. Many users are abandoning Nougat? Too many problems and not just on Honor 8.
Perhaps Google (and its accompanying manufacturers) should be a bit slower in releasing their stuff and test a lot better before releasing it.

Mods for Fire OS 5.6.1.0?

Amazon Fire 5th gen. tablet updated 4 - 12 - 18. Noticed that Home pages launcher can not have the updates uninstalled.That's all I noticed at a glance. If this version can't be rooted, how hard would it be to just replace the whole operating system ? I am tired of Fire OS.

In MIUI discovered a secret function for full-screen smartphones

In the beta version of MIUI 8.5.11 for Mi Mix 2 not only drastically redesigned user interface, but also added a number of new features. Among them - an updated management system for full-screen smartphones, such as Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2 / 2S, Redmi 5, Redmi Note 5 and others.
Last year, Xiaomi introduced the function of gestures resembling those of the iPhone X for smartphones with an aspect ratio of 18: 9. With the help of the upward you can collapse the applications, and holding your finger in the middle of the screen, - call up the menu of running programs. In the new assembly MIUI appeared a convenient switch between the latest applications. To do this, slowly pull at the right or left edge of the display.
Since there are too many cardinal changes in the presented beta, it can be an early assembly of MIUI 10, which will be released later this year.

Cool I'll check it out
Do you really get 8 1/2 hours screen on time with 50% battery left? I only get 6 hours 25 minutes with 15% left with my current rom.
Does this ROM support WiFi tethering? I feel like I need to ask this because some roms don't.
Uhhh that's the best thing which could had happened to our Pixel 4 XL !!

Usage with my Proton Kernel is recommended to get the most out of your phone. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The ROM will still work with other kernels, but you will not get the benefits of Proton Kernel.​

Which one is included instead? As the standalone Proton kernel is only available for the Pixel 5, right?

My guess is the picture in the "screenshots" otherwise I have no idea. I do not see battery anywhere else but I was also very curious when I read this myself.

Based on the screenshot, no mobile data and last charge was 3 days ago, it's probably a screenshot from a device that's not the daily driver and has been sitting on the desk for a bit, lol.
Android 12 is nice, but I want the full use showed in screenshots, so I'll flash back to 11 and run this tomorrow.

I am hoping someone using Proton now will see this and post a real life battery screenshot showing the actual battery estimates. Of course there's a billion factors that can cause battery life to suck and 1 user to get better than the next user, but a general pic would be nice.
I'm finishing up testing on the Bliss ROM 11 then I do plan to test the one next but it won't be right away.

I stopped worrying about battery life unless my phone is hot in my pocket for no reason, lol. Some people expect to get 8 hours SoT since one user achieved it, but 75% of that could be from watching media.
I don't average any crazy numbers for SoT unless I'm watching videos for hours.

I actually find that my pixel 4XL has much better life than any other device I've owned. My HTC10 was that only 1 that almost compared. My pixel 3XL and 2 XL did not get anywhere near what my 4 XL gets but I'm also not a battery watcher myself. I just disable apps I don't want running, or remove the "boot" service for apps I don't want running, and limit what apps can do what actions (network/keep alive / wakelocks / etc) and my battery life is stellar in my opinion.
My original reply comment was more for a general idea than anything sound with facts.

It's from my daily driver, but I don't charge to 100% all the time or bother to clear battery stats. I don't share examples of battery life because it's highly personal and I don't want anyone to complain about it being worse than expected. My personal usage is very light compared to many others, so it's not a very good example to use here.
Hello. Does this ROM support pixel shifting future like in stock ROM to prevend oled burn-in

Mine too for right now and it's really really good, battery is awesome so far! Check this out, last charge 12 hours ago and 86% left! I do prevent all apps I don't want running in the background from starting (SDMaid) and I do prevent many apps from using the internet (iptables). These help but even without them, the battery was really good!
Been running the ROM for a couple days now and I really like it. The new sounds are also very pleasant to the ear. I even set my transition animations to 1.5x speed and the animations make everything look better with my eyes.
Starting with barely any apps installed, instantly started off way faster than stock. Besides features missing due to be special to stock and tedious to port over, the only issue(graphical) I found is with the text clock on always on display, the icons overlap with the bottom text depending on what time it is.
Other than that, amazing work.
