Android 12 Beta 3 will probably arrive tomorrow Monday the 12th or a bit later (duh).
Here is a review or a preview on what to expect.


Rolling out now.

Absolutely. I have a few bugs that I've reported I'm hoping to see fixed.
Any additional features and expanded features are eagerly awaited.

Android 12 Beta 2 is working very well even though there are a few bugs. That's to be expected. However the existing bugs don't adversely the function or use of the phone.

If you have certain critical apps that have to function then maybe wait. My important apps work, but one didn't at first till Beta2, but accessing thru web browser was a good work around. My 3rd party launchers have certain issues but the OEM pixel launchers is working great and fast. I love the new interface with material you designs. Im hoping beta 3 improves even further on that. I'd say go for it. It's a sweet upgrade.

Yeah after Lawnchair causing a fatal error and a mandatory factory reset I am keeping far away from 3rd party launchers. I know Peter (who develops Niagara) is running the 12 beta to work on making his launcher compatible.

Yeah factory resets are drudgery. I haven’t had any serious issues using 3rd party launchers yet, so no factory resets(knock wood).
By keeping them stored in a file tho I can be alerted to updates as they roll out on the play store.
It’s kinda to bad and actually surprising that Google doesn’t give their OEM pixel launcher more customization options. I mean we get some but a simple icon edit feature would be nice.
I like Niagara, it is a nice low impact launcher. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

I am in the alpha track. I can tell you the upcoming features are pretty neat. I get the complete experience on my Samsung S10+

For sure, just teasing you anyway. The other thread seems to be where everyone is commenting on the new update.

It's got hard to keep track of which version being referenced to over there anymore. I prefer threads specific to the topic at hand.

Assistant issue that I've sent several bug reports still exists. Sent the 4th or 5th report with screen recording.
New Basic Color choice added to wallpaper themes. Got rid of that visually offensive pig puke pink.
I can't stand the round app icons. Can't change it to rectangle or square.

I haven’t had any assistant issues.

I love how you can choose the color now! Puke pink was growing on me though…….not!

I like the icons. Tasks didn’t change though. I’m sure there will be more choices with new updates.

Assistant won't "Turn On Do Not Disturb" when asked or when running a routine with that command in it. It work fine on A11.

Then you can pay my bills.

What bills? A good tent near a creek and a small garden is all you need.

Something said on the old thread about the icon theming in dark mode, I first enabled it in dark mode. So it does work in dark mode. But I have shifted to light mode currently as it looks better.

Agreed.

Well the bug I have if I'm playing music and I open maps, the music goes down to 50%, is still in Beta 3.
