Beta 5?

Seems more polished to me too. Is it me or does the OS especially the gestures feel smoother. I'm using the new features system and for beta 4 I ended up going back to the middle gestures setting not the full blown gestures bc it was buggy but right now after using it for about 2 hrs seems way smoother and responsive.

One issue I have had is that gestures keep reverting to 3 button navigation without me going to settings. I am using Action Launcher and the gestures have been working for me with it but then they crash and default back to 3 button navigation and my custom coloured theme and icon shape go back to default as well.

Didn't have these issues with beta 4

I believe they removed support for full gestural nav with 3rd party launchers in this beta

Yes the gestures are much smoother

really smooth LTE signal seems abit less but can't tell if speed is any slower.

Okay, I just finished. My phone is a Pixel 3, my WiFi downloaded at 9Mbps, and I have a total of 73 apps including the ones I don't know why they're there.

I timed the "optimizing apps" activity. It took 41 minutes. I went along at a good clip till about 80% then it slowed down to 95% and then went ahead and finished. Sure, I'd be happier if it downloaded the update and optimized the apps all in 5 seconds but it is what it is.

Yeah, I swear, optimizing apps takes almost 2 hours I still don't know why...

No. I'm using Nova launcher and my gestures work fine. I do have a double-tap on the home screen to call up the App Drawer set in Nova. All the other gestures are Android Q5.

It's working fine.

actually, I thought that's exactly what happened with beta 5. Google stop full screen navigation gestures with third party launchers

See my post on RCS eric

Could you please link me to it if possible I would appreciate it!

It works with Action Launcher but then just reverts back. So weird. Back on Pixel Launcher for now

So your suggestion is using action launcher to get RCS working, then revert back to Pixel launcher?

okay so in beta 5, in developer settings, override four star mode setting doesn't force crash anymore, but I haven't gotten it to work either. Has anyone else had any luck with this at all?

Not working for me either

Alrighty got you thanks. At least I know it's not just me. I I wonder if there is a way to make it work though...

Exponentially faster and snappier. Now swiping apps away no longer doubles if that makes sense.

However I will say I take issue with the new corner indicators. Ugly as all hell. I hope they remove them or make them an on/off toggle. Other than that super super snappy, I love it.
