December Update is out

[C5Longhorn]

I am downloading the image from the Google Developer site and will install later today.

The update is, but they haven't posted the factory images yet, so I'll wait. (I prefer flashing the factory image with no wipe - it's actually easier if you're running TWRP and Magisk.)

No update for me yet....

Updating now. Android Police is saying we get Live Captions, Gesture Navigation with third party launchers, the new Styles and Wallpaper theming, and swipe down gesture for notifications. In this update.

UPDATE: I can confirm all above but Pixel Launcher crashes under full gesture navigation. Two and Three button work fine. I set Action Launcher to Full Gestures and Pixel Launcher will crash again...hmmm

UPDATE2: I found out if you select uninstall updates on Pixel Launcher app the crashing stops and full gesture work again. Third Party too.

Thought it was just me. Have also managed to uninstall updates for Pixel Launcher and confirmed it seems to have resolved the crashing issue.

Is the problem due to installing the app from package? I installed the APK having the swipe down from anywhere in the home screen prior to the update.

Sounds like a factory reset may be happening after this update if I have any issues.

I am the same way and was able to download full image.

I waited for the OTA and have not experienced the issues. Odd issues and weird.

 

[rexxsor]

Notifications (not silent ones) not showing on top of the screen. They only appear when I pull down the notifications.

Seems like an intermittent issue. Will see if it still happens later on.

Not out for Pixel 2XL or 4XL yet

3rd party launcher gestures back..... About time! But happy they are none the less. No issues with crashes or updates with Pixel Launcher. All good so far on the 3xl

 

[dov1978]

Is it just my imagination or has the Always On Display/Lockscreen Clock shrunk a little with this update? I could swear it was a bit bigger yesterday

Same here. Updated last night OTA, all good, no issues here.

Yeah, the same thing with me. Updated my 3xl OTA style last night. No issues here whatsoever.

I am really liking being able to use Nova Launcher again with the gesture support. I like the pixel launcher but I do like getting rid of the search bar and making my screen grid smaller.

Did you have to uninstall updates to the pixel launcher? I tried action launcher out last night and I was having weird issues. I might need to try again. Trouble is I'm so used to the pixel launcher it's going to be weird switching

 

[Mikey D_PhD]

I did not have to uninstall any updates to the Pixel Launcher.

 

[Mikey D_PhD]

No, I did not uninstall any updates to the Pixel Launcher.

I'm also finding that I'm so used to the Pixel Launcher and it's simplicity that I may switch back.
