Factory reset this morning. Been waiting for the official release. Pretty smooth sailing.

Love the list view

Love the list view

Me too. I changed to that once I found out about it. Perhaps one day, we can have list view back...

One day... I think wistfully. Actually going to break out my old Lumia 950xl today and use it this week because I'm sick of compulsively checking for update.

I was actually hoping Samsung would implement the vertical scrolling app drawer someday, or at least with the Oreo release. List View recent apps is still a welcome change.

+1 for the vertical scroll app drawer. That and the inability to remove icon labels are 2 reasons I use alternative launchers.

It is next by definition. Every other variant has now gotten it. You are for certain "next" .

By next I meant sometime soon rather than waiting another 15 days. Also MVNO variants are considered different SKUs.

Ah. I understand now. Soon as opposed to next.

Yup. That's two of the many reasons I use Nova Prime. Touchwiz refuses to (or I'm unable to find a way to) allow the app drawer button to be in the center of the dock and that drives me nuts.

I know, right? It's the little things...

Sorry. Was trying to copy a link for an xda article citing Oreo update for unlocked S8/S8 Plus and Note 8 in several weeks.
By the time it gets here it will be beyond anti-climatic.

Normally I'm not one to moan about inevitable slow Samsung updates, but this is beyond the pale.
Maybe Samsung will prove the xda article wrong... Not holding my breath though.
