Google announces Android 7.1 Developer Preview, coming late October | Android Central

According to Google, this "incremental update" builds on the strengths of Android 7.0, but adds some important new features, including Daydream support, A/B system updates, an app shortcut API for the new default launcher, and the long-awaited ability to use image keyboards.

who is planning to get this early? or do you think its best to just wait until final release in December when its pushed out?

It's 7.1.1, just installed. Too early to note any changes naturally, just a quick peek and camera seems much faster. All the time I have to play with it right now.

Installed. Don't see anything yet.

 

[radioactive70]

Download the pixel launcher it's on Google play

 

[radioactive70]

You'll be able to use the app shortcut feature

Sideloaded. Everything seems to be fine. I also installed a new dialer apk from the pixel and it works with verizon's visual voicemail.

Link? Can't find it.

 

[radioactive70]

Me either but I read that it's available on the play store

 

[racedog]

Downloading now, will get it installed later and take a look around. Will look for the new launcher once it's installed.

My download failed the checksum, but I cant get it to redownload. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[grover5]

Me either but I read that it's available on the play store

Where did you see that?

 

[patheticpuma]

It's available, only compatible devices are the pixel and pixel xl though.

 

[racedog]

Just checked after install and phone is working fine.

BTW, did the check after the phone app was updated.

Can someone check to see if they can still receive calls after installing this update. Mine is going straight into voice mail. Using project-fi. There was an update on the play store after I upgraded, which I installed, but can't rollback ( not rooted ) to find out if that was the cause. There's another person posting on Android Central with the same problem.

Just made a call to my Nexus 6p on 7.1 beta with my work phone, no problem.
