My question for when this does drop, what about T-Mobile? They released a specific build of the June update for T-Mobile that really seemed to help with signal issues outside... the specific T-Mobile build of 8.1, is it just a radio difference? Would I be able to use that radio with P?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GibMcFragger:
I think the System UI Tuner app (windows version) should work to kill the alarm icon. I personally haven't tried it on P yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

If you set it up BEFORE going to P, it works just fine. I did a factory reset on O, set everything up, then took the DP2 OTA. Flashed DP3 w/o the -w. Everything works perfectly. Just beware that the latest Gear plugin breaks the connection no matter what OS version you're on. Also, the latest health update for the watch breaks all the health stuff... Samsung.. How are you even so popular? I'm sooooo out when new wear watches come out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
What exactly did you get working with substratum? I was under the impression you can't do any customization with it on P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ati75:
Thanks for the link. Will try it out once DP4 is out.

I know. I feel the same way, but on the other hand the gear s 3 series is so nice to look at. Looks like a watch, feels like a watch. Maybe the pixel watch will solve all our problems (if that is really going to happen).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
Try the link I provided above...you can setup gear devices on P also using that...they are basically modified versions of Samsung Gear apps to work on Android P...Terrible Samsung...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chadhoard:
If they fix the bluetooth volume issue, I might come back to the beta. DP2 the volume was perfect. Once the OTA for DP3 came out, the volume adjustment was all over the place when connected via. bluetooth. Also, for some reason, on DP3 I was not getting gmail notification even though it was turned on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
It is pretty. And the UI is secksay. Especially the widgets and stuff. Very useful. BUT, their Tizen OS for the watches, as well as their apps have not moved forward really at all, ever (I had the s2, now the s3). With Tizen 3 we mostly got just a BUNCH of problems. Sammy pushes out updates that break things, then don't bother to pull it or push out a fix for months. Their support is absolute sheet too. I had to send my watch in to get fixed twice (had it for less than 6-7 months), then it broke again. I wanted a replacement or my money back, instead they told me that because the watch had been in their shop twice within 30 days, so it only counts as once. So, one more time before either of those things would happen. I can't make this up! It's backwards! Never again. I'm REALLY hoping for some good pixel watches myself. Can't wait.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] starcms:
EDIT: Substratum has released a beta version of the Substratum app, version 997, that adds support for P and works just like on Oreo.

Go here to sign up for Substratum betas: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/projekt.substratum

Then update from the Play Store

If you are looking for themes which work on P, use Sai's Oreo Theme (it's free) from the play store for all system related overlays (Android System, SystemUI, QS, and notifications). Then, for all apps, use either Swift Black or Swift Dark (Sai's theme let's you choose either dark or black so everything matches perfectly and looks great).

Lastly, if you had used my method below, before installing overlays using 997, use Substratum to disable all overlays and then delete all the overlays you manually copied to /system/app and reboot. Then you can use Substratum like normal.

-----------------------------

Um, everything :)

It's very simple. First you must be rooted. Second, if you upgraded to P, you need to clear all data from the Substratum app.

Then you just build the overlays like normal. They will appear in a hidden .substratum folder in your main data folder (/sdcard or /data/media/0). Simply cut and paste them to /system/app. Now reboot. Then go into Substratum, open the manager, and enable the overlays. Reboot again to ensure all overlays fully apply. That's it.

Basically the only thing that doesn't work is Substratum being able to automatically copy them from the .substratum folder to /system/app in Android P. I'm sure this will be fixed in a later version. And of course root is now mandatory (to be able to copy the overlay apks into /system/app).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tlbland0426:
Sweet! That worked! At least for Android Messages, haven't tried anything else yet...now I have a Swift Dark version!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
Thinking about jumping over since I am not going to root this device at all and we are going to lose substratum anyways.

Couple of questions if anyone knows.

1. Does Android auto seem to be working fine?

2. Is anyone using adguard the VPN ad blocker? Is it working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] naiku:
Adguard is working fine for me on DP3.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tlbland0426:
I was able to use Substratum to theme Android Messages mainly because I can't stand that bright, white background. Haven't tried any other apps yet. Just did what the other person said, built it in substratum and then cut the .substratum folder from /data/media/0 and pasted to /system/app, restarted phone went into substratum to the manager and then enabled the overlay.

I am interested to see how DP4 is, 3 is way more stable than 2 was. For me 2 had too many issues to consider using daily (my phone is a work phone as well).

Heres to hoping they get on it this week!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bill10:
I contacted Google support and they have no idea when preview 4 is coming or they are just not saying anything. I don't think it is coming this week. I've never had an update after Tuesday
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
DP2 and 3 came out on a Wednesday. And as far as the timeline goes, we should be getting 4 this month yet, which would mean this week. I mean, delays happen I guess. Also, Google support will NEVER tell you anything. They never know anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bill10:
I got my updates on Tuesday but who knows
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zehlek:

I'm guessing it will come next week along with July security patches.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SyCoREAPER:
Quite disappointing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Blancos4Lyf:
Judging by the timeline I'd say the very end of June, and seeing as we're not at Friday yet I'd say wait till Friday before getting sad.

Albeit it'd probably be better if they waited for the July security updates, although they can probably add those in separately later.

The one we are waiting for is DP4 after that there will be a DP5 right before the final release: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...meline-5-releases-final-version-scheduled-q3/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jasonstackhouse:
If this is true the team working on the release is going to look pretty bad. They have a time line published with DP4 and its deadline. Companies the size of google cant just miss deadlines without significant reason. If the release is in July Google will need to update their time line and explain publicly why they are failing to meet production/development goals. The final release is scheduled to take place on or before before Sunday, September 30 (The end of Q3)

I dont see Google letting a dev team break their public time line, the release will happen on or before Saturday, other wise Google is gonna have some explaining to do. Shareholders typically dont like seeing delays or missed objectives, especially when those objectives are published online to the public.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] praveen6585:
I totally agree about wanting to stick to the timeline but my worry is they may end up releasing a buggy version just to stick to the time line which is worse than just delaying by a few days. But yes, they should definitely keep everyone posted about the delay.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Seamonkey79:
Were you able to get systemui themed? I've been trying the options in Swift Dark and Swift Black, and in both of them the closest I get is orange for notifications of I select the 8.1 option. For the remaining options, I have white AND it themes the navbar to white as well. For 8.1 it tells me to select Android System and enable, which I've done a few times to no avail

I do know this may not be the place, but just curious.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] starcms:
For Android System, SystemUI, QS, and notifications, download Sai's Oreo Theme (it's free) and it works perfect for theming all the system related stuff until Swift updates for P.

Also, there is a new beta version of substratum out (997) that adds P support and no longer requires you to manually copy the files from .substratum to /system/app. Before installing it though, disable and delete all the overlays you did manually copy, reboot, then use 997. You need to be signed up for the beta channel of the substratum app to get version 997.

I would only follow this by NOT checking UI Navigation. Otherwise, working with System UI, System, QS tiles...look at the Beta 3 Sub thread.

Assuming DP4 comes out this next week, looking at 6 weeks until DP5, then within a few weeks after that is the target for full release sometime in October. Will see. DP3 has been a big improvement and now a daily driver for me. Just need some theming support to run a dark theme...and somebody will start producing some tweaks...and will be good to go IMO.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] starcms:
Many themes can cause bootloops when applied to Android System in P. The one I posted is safe. And if you use Substratum, you should know how to get out of a Substratum induced bootloop...it involves deleting one file from recovery...

You need twrp custom recovery and then flash the custom rom through twrp...see the 'guides' section or any youtube tutorial..

No man, not that way.

You need a recovery like TWRP to install a new rom and a unlocked bootloader to do it.

After flashed a recovery TWRP you can install a new ROM.
