It looks like the DP 3 for the Android P beta is live (thx for notifying me -- @Itsa_Me_Mario ). The OTA is still rolling out so some see it and some don't but you can side load it from these images -- https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota

The article above helps to show what has changed. I know some people here will be happy to see the "Clear all" return in the apps menu :). Google seems to be listening!

Given what I've read on reddit, stay away from Night Mode. It apparently severely darkens the screen and toggling it off doesn't make things bright again.

Man, my 2 XL took about a solid 15 minutes to install the OTA. I was biting my nails hoping it wouldn't bork.

On the plus side, though, my fps seems a lot snappier now. Ironic given the complaints I've read about the June O update. And I've finally got the weather icon on my lockscreen! Sweet.

Wait. I take some of that back. DP3 must've turned the AOD on. So much for an fps fix.

I got an install error in step 1/2 on my first try. Did a "Retry" and got to step 2/2. Took a long time to install, but it ended successfully.

Up and running so far. It even has this month's security patch :).

My screen is noticably darker after the update. I hope they fix it soon
