Anyone managed to have mate/pure black theme in 8.1?

My black theme went from black to transparent/clear black/gray after the OTA

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] lechon3x:
I do, substratum with andromeda and swift black theme is what I'm rocking. I have black notifications and everything! Just make sure that under "display, advanced, pixel theme" , leave as it is or you'll end up with quick settings and settings totally blacked out with no text or icons.

DP2 should be arriving this week. I hope they enable that Visual Core chipset.

It'd be nice to get some color profiles as well. But not what they released in Stable 8.0 (people say the new profile is very saturated), I'd prefer something like Adobe RGB color profile (I sent feedback requesting it just in case).

Natural is supposed to be srgb. Boosted is more saturated and saturated is the most saturated.

It's really a question of what looks best to you.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I thought there was no difference between Natural and Boosted.

But after comparing using split windows I've seen that Boosted has a more saturated RED Color than Natural. (Green and Blue are like the same).

I think I'll stay with boosted. I've been using it since 8.0.

I'd like to have something between boosted and saturated.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixAG:
Potentially stupid question here..

If I enroll in the beta program and flash the DP2 right now, will I get 8.1 final (stable) release?

If I will, can I unenroll from the beta program at that time without having to wipe my device and data?

The beta enroll page says I will have to wipe my device but people are saying I won't have to if I am on the final.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Yes you will get the final build and enrollment won't wipe ur phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixAG:
Thank you for the reply! I assume from "enrollment", you actually mean unenrollment? I understand enrollment won't wipe my device.

I am more worried about it wiping my device if I un-enroll after getting the final build.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I think you are automatically unenrolled when a beta testing is finished, so when the next beta starts you'll need to enroll again.

Also if you unenrolled and you are not on the final version. The only thing that will wipe your data is the downgrade OTA.

Sent from my Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Yes unenroll i mean.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixAG:
Thank you! I just had a little bit of confusion whether you're automatically unenrolled when beta testing is over for a version of Android (like Nougat or Oreo) or for even point releases (like this 8.0 to 8.1).

Thank you! :)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
And in an hypothetical case where the system retain you till the next beta and you forget to unenroll. You will get an OTA in the future saying that you are about to update to a beta version blablabla and you could skip that OTA and unenroll.

I only had to unenroll from 8.0 DP1 back to Nougat (on a 6P) and from 5.0 DP1/DP2 back to KitKat (on a Nexus 5). Because those builds had crappy performance.

I recommend you to avoid all the beta DPs when the Android letter changes, and join the last DP (which is a "CTS" approved and more like a Release Candidate). From 8.0 to 8.1 there were no risk in DP1.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dehnhaide:
Speaking of crappy performance, am I the only one feeling that the battery performance and drain with the DP2 on the Pixel 2 is way worse than on the 8.0 with the latest November patch?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I think that battery is decreasing faster at first and slower at last. Specially from 100 to 90. But the end result is like 8.0 here.

Sent from my Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dehnhaide:
Nice approach! :) I was able nonetheless to get about 5 hours SOT with pretty much WiFi on all the time and everything sync on. I still feel that the drain is a bit too high ( 4-5% overnight) with this release.

I would bother that much but I still hate the long charging times of the Pixel 2 (as coming from U11). I wonder if flashing a custom kernel would help improving the charging times. I have read about the Google's reasons on capping it at 1400mah but I am willing to the the risks of upping it at least to 2000mah so it won't take that blood 1:40 to charge it to 100%.

I can't for the life of me get Snapchat to perform decently on mine nor my wife's LG K20 Plus. Everything is great until I select a lens, then it as soon as it detects a face and applies a filter it turns into a slideshow. It's laggy and slow motion, probably no more than 5fps. Completely unacceptable.

Now I say LG phones because my wife previously had a Tribute HD and the exact same thing happens with Snapchat on that phone as well.

Does anyone else with the same phone and/or an LG have the same problems with Snapchat? I've tried contacting them about it but they never reply. It's completely unacceptable that a 2017 model phone can't apply some silly filters to an image without slowing down to a crawl..and honestly I don't believe it's the phone.

Input is greatly appreciated! ?

My daughter has a Samsung S4. A few months back, she changed her password, and forgot hat she changed it to. She waited until now to tell me.

Is this a known issue? Any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried using her Google account password, but that doesn't work either.

If I have to factory restore again, I'm going to tell her no more passwords.

First of all,

Follow this xda-developers guide to enable Google Assistant - Click Here or continue reading.

If you fail to set your Google Assistant working, make sure two things

1. You're using this version

Google App 7.4.21.21.arm64 (nodpi) (Android 5.0+) - Download Here

2. You have Nova Launcher ( Okay, we only need this once to set up and after then your stock MIUI launcher or any other launcher is fine. )

Follow this quote from the above article -

I've already provided the link of original article

Now when your Assistant is ready, How to launch it by long pressing home button?

Here it goes,

1. Download this Google Assistant.apk and install it

( It only supports on Marshmallow+ ROMs but I've tweaked it to work on Lolliipop too)

2. open and if it asks you to update your google app, update it from play store

3. Now open Assistant app and it should launch google assistant.

4. Now Download Button remapper(no root) from play store : Here

and set long press home button to ( other.. > app> Assistant (You just installed) )

Now check if it's working.

( You can uninstall Nova Launcher now)

Benefits you have now:

1. Your google app is always latest. You're not stuck to June version anymore in order to use Assistant

2. You get to use latest Assistant features

3. You use Assistant in a way no less than devices having Android 6.0 or more.

Cheers!!!

Hit thanks if helped
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Harigovind:
It says google assistant requires android 6.0 or above.

I tried with the apk given (Google App 7.4.21.21.arm64 ) but then the activity in nova launcher doesn't open.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
Google Assistant is now supported on Android Lollipop also. Update you Google app and it should automatically appear. The above guide isn't needed anymore.

[Off-topic] soywalker:
I know very little about Android and pretty much only use AndFTP on my Htc Inc2. I have that Inc2 which I carry in case my car or truck breaks down. I have a DooGee DG300 I bought years ago then found I couldn't use it and have been using it as a tablet. The DG300 is Android 4.2.2. I can't find an upgrade to 4.4. Thought I had one until a pop-up saying answer these questions showed, so I killed the website quick like rabbit.

Why do I need Android 4.4? I thought I needed 5.0 until I chatted with a Google rep.

I bought a Google Home Mini. I managed to find a Google Home app version 1.22.25.7 that would install on the DG300. Plugging in the Google Home Mini I run the Google Home app and it find the GoogleHome giving it an ID but calling it Chromecast. A Setup button is displayed. GoogleHomeMini is repeatedly telling me it has not been setup. I mash the setup button and the app comes back with A Newer Version is available, Upgrade, and pressing yes it closes going no further. If I say no to the upgrade it says it's trying to connect to a wifi hotspot via the Chromecast. I assume the app is telling the HomeMini to connect to the hotspot but it fails to connect to any wifi routers or phone as a hotspot. Google Home app in the PlayStore says it needs Android 5.01. I chat the rep at Google and am told Google Home with work with the mini if it's 4.4 (mines 4.2).

I bought an RPI3. I tried to install RTAndroid and was told it's no long available but to use EmteriaOS and that is available free but the free version reboots every 48 hours. So, I install the EmertiaOS to a microSD card and it wakes the RPI3 with an animated triangle but no cursor and as I understand it, no Next> (which should be visible). Also, unlike linux no Alt+F1 for a terminal login. I've used Debian linux for years but am not a programmer. I don't know Android.

Giving up on the EmteriaOS I move on to Lineage-14.1, which like EmteriaOS is an android os for RPI3 or cells. You can see I want to install android on RPI3, download and install a current Google Home app and run Google Home Mini setup.

The EmteriaOS now overwritten by the Lineage-14.1 operating system, I boot the RPI3 and find an animation that looks like the edge of a galaxy with a planet appearing on the right, approaching, then exiting on the left. Again, no cursor, mouse, or way to proceed, and no Alt+F1 terminal.

So, I'm wondering if:

a) should I find a way to get the DG300 to boot to the SD card with Lineage-14.1 - but I don't know how to get the DG300 to boot from the SD card,

b) should I find a 4.4 firmware and flash the DG300 - but that firmware doesn't seem to be available from a reputable website,

c) put the SD card having Lineage in a reader and modify it using the RPI3 booted to Raspbian so it then can boot the RPI3 with mouse support.

The last seems the most convenient but I should mention that the RPI3 is using a display from a lightening stuck Pavilion laptop using an M.NT6876.2A DVI VGA Audio LCD LED screen controller. This laptop screen obviously isn't touch.

Advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
