Android O for the Pixel and Pixel XL.

Yep

Any word on DP4 release date? I've only seen graphics with a rough timeframe.

Also, when O final actually drops, those of us on O beta will have our phones wiped as part of the upgrade process, right?

 

[matty032]

Dunno to the first one. July I think??

Second one no. As long as you ride DP all the way out to the release. Non beta users will get the final release first. Then we will. If you wait it all the way out, your phone won't be wiped.

Thanks Matty.

DP4 slated for mid-July, so I guess it's any day now?

this is the default wallpaper of android n in pixel.

Mine didn't have Aurora set as the default wallpaper when I got it (regular Pixel) back in November. Unless you meant if you CHOSE a live wallpaper for your background, that Aurora was the default.

Mine was a static wallpaper with a kind of landscape image with a pinkish/purplish sky and mountains in a silhouette. In fact I don't recall ever having a live wallpaper set as the default on any Android device I've owned (granted the only pure Android devices I've owned are the Nexus 7 2013 and 6p, and the Pixel). I did download the original Nexus live wallpaper on one of my early HTC phones (gray grid background with Google colors streaking across the screen).

Fwiw, I received a warranty replacement device a couple of weeks ago and it booted up with the Aurora live wallpaper on. I really like it! I wouldn't have put it on given the choice but now that it's there it's pretty neat how it follows the weather.

Maybe they started that later, all I know for certain is that I didn't have a live wallpaper set as my background. I even remember finding and downloading the wallpaper I mentioned above (static landscape with pink/purple sky) to put it on my old 6p. And that wallpaper is still the one on the lockscreen on my Pixel.

I just looked, and while Aurora is in my wallpaper list, I haven't ever had it on my phone as a background.

Set it as Home and Lock screen - good to try new things.

Regarding Aurora:

I discovered Aurora a while back on my Pixel XL; no, it was not the default wallpaper - I read about it in another thread here, searched for it, found it, and decided I liked it.

Soon after joining the Android O beta (DP1? DP2? - not sure) I realized that not only was Aurora no longer my wallpaper, but I cannot find it in the wallpaper selector, either.

So, what's up with that? Some of you seem to still have Aurora on your device - if I have it, I'll be darned if I can locate it.

That's ok, I'm not big on home screen and lockscreen wallpapers. It's fun for a bit, but anymore I'd rather focus on performance. I use a black home screen beings it's an AMOLED display to save what I can on battery life. And since my home screen is covered in widgets or folders, any picture, animated or static is pointless since it would be covered by them.

Aurora lasted about a day, back to the plain blue desktop. I like simple.

Android O DP 4 is out now!

https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html

 

[gozirra]

Taking it's time (the download was quick, the install, not so much). Fingers crossed.

 

[matty032]

My install is still running. Progress bar has barely moved.

 

[N4Newbie]

I have installed DP4 and can report that the System UI Tuner is still not "fixed" - that is, still no way to remove an option that I added before they tweaked System UI Tuner again (between DP2 and DP3).

Also, Do Not Disturb is still (IMO) broken.

Can you tell me if the Bluetooth functionality has improved any. I'm trying to decide if I'm ready to download the beta or stick with No?
