Android 9.0, Pi

[rjack22]

I just received notice of an update for my phone to Pi. The thing is I don't want to update right away. I'd rather wait and see what others have to say first before making that leap.

I know that one of the things with Pi is that we lose access to free themes. They will now be 2 weeks "trials". Does that effect the themes I have already downloaded? Will I still have them or will they all become trials?

Thie update notice says that I can defer installation up to nine times and that I can't use my phone until I update. Whats with this? In the past I could always deny the update as long as I wished. I restarted my phone and I can use it now but I just won't click on the notification so I can continue using my phone.

I know I will update at some point. I'd just like to wait a few weeks.

The themes are irrelevant since a lot of themers haven't updated anyway. So their themes aren't yet working properly.
Also, if you're the type to use dark mode, dark mode is not compatible with themes, so you can't theme AND dark mode.

Are you in the US and what carrier are you using? Nothing here on Verizon yet on my Snapdragon 9+.

I am in the US, Ohio. And I am on Verizon.
No I don't use dark themes, don't like them.

Some themes are still free. You just have to look through them. Found a couple of free dark mode themes.

I didn't get any warning for themes will still be 14 days only. I stopped using themes and went dark mode though. Themes compatible for Pie will also look different in the previews. So You'll have to look which themes are still compatible.
Personally the benefits of Pie completely outweigh any problems I've heard/read/seen so far.

Same. Dumped my theme, went to dark mode and never looked back.

Has anyone found a solution for night mode and non-Samsung apps. I love the night mode so far, except when I open a Google app and am blinded by the white.

I too am loving night mode without themes. I do wish that the nav bar was dark all the time.

A number of Google apps already have their own dark mode in their settings.

Nothing to do about that unless you are open to using substratum

If you use gestures, you won't have a nav bar at all. I got used to gestures in beta.
