Bricked my Nexus 6P.

Holy cow! That's harsh. Yeah that'd probably be enough time make me think twice!

It's a developer PREVIEW. of course there are issues, and many of them. Not for daily driver phones. Only for playing a round.

I agree and disagree. Both last year and this year they've been more than fine for dd in my experience. I have a friend who had issues with one app force closing, otherwise haven't heard of any issues. I'm running it myself without issues, so asking how everyone else's experience is going.

You can do what ever you wish . Developer previews are not made for people to upgrade to and use on their personal daily phones.

Cool beans. Have you tried it out on anything? What do you think of the changes?

 

[Lepa79]

Many good changes defiantly. Have it to play with you pixel 2 xl. My main driver us note 8.

Which makes sense. They were guaranteed 2 years of updates and received that already.

Not even remotely interested in it for cosmetic reasons alone. I trust, though, that Google will pay whoever developed that Flux White Substratum theme for openly stealing that developer's design. (Which, mind you, they can keep and shove where the sun don't shine.)

I think it's a little silly to hold a patent or ownership on colors and shapes.

Just checked this out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.white.substratum&hl=en

This definitely looks similar to the new settings menu:



On the other hand, it also looks like what Google Voice has looked like for a long time since the app and desktop refresh, so I'm not sure I can agree that Flux did it first, I honestly don't know. It could be that both are simply following material design guidelines.

 

[Nubwy]

In all seriousness, neither person invented the shapes or colors. Like I said, it's silly.
