So far, all I've noticed is that the swipe from right menu works way nicer than before. I found it almost impossible previously to get it to grab. Now it does nicely. You can also change the back button gesture sensitivity too. I haven't found anything else new yet.

Another thing that they were supposed to do was add fonts. So far, there are two options. REALLY lame. Google is supposed to be all about customization, but we can't change fonts, icons, nothing. Anyway, hopefully the other stuff we haven't seen yet comes on the stable release.

Can anyone post a Magisk patched boot.img? it seems latest TWRP cannot mount data nor SDcard. I just flashed wipe and cannot get root now.... :( Thanks!

Here you are: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CY9PFjW30Xmq2cZU-FxqVzOYOgs09Wrt/view?usp=sharing

And by the way TWRP for Q will only be available after release of the beta phase has ended. Don't install TWRP on your phone if you plan to use Q beta - booting it from fastboot though is fine since it doesn't alter any files - anyways it won't give you any benefits as it's defunct for Q.

Question guys: if i do a factory reset on beta 6, will i be able to restore my stuff or it won't work? Like if i switch to Android pie, it will wipe all my data. So if i just do a factory reset on this beta, will my data be recovered or gone completely?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Omario-242:
I used Nova Prime on my previous phone but dropped it for Googles standard launcher when I switched to the 3XL.

It took me some time getting used to the gestures but I love them, it's way easier going back by swiping from the sides rather than a button/pill on the bottom.

What I like most is the way to switch to a previous app by swiping up from the bottom and then (without releasing) following an upside-down U shape to the right corner.

It's super fast (even faster then double tapping the app switcher symbol).

I won't go back to Nova.

- flash du factory image

- activation du mode dev

- installation de magisk manager

- patch et copie du fichier sur le pc (j'ai touché aucune option dans magisk manager)

- ./Fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img (idem avec les deux commandes boot_a boot_b)

reboot

One issue on Q6.

Text messages and Phone calls not coming in as Heads Up / Banner. Like if I'm typing this reply in my browser now, and I get a text, I don't see it, I just hear the beep and see the white text icon in upper left corner next to the clock in status bar.

Same with a incoming phone call, if I'm in my browser and I get a call now, I hear the phone ringing, but don't actually see the options for Answer, Decline, Screen Call. I only see the Phone icon up in status bar.

Does anyone know what those "Plugins"s are? I don't remember it's being there before Qb5.

This likely isn't directly related to the beta but.. Can we discuss how horrible the built-in equalizer is? I mean, when it's in use you can hear a difference as the volume drops to a level that you can barely hear! I thought it was blue tooth issues with the Q beta but when I flashed the August release of P, it's the same. I'm using the latest beta of Q but can't get over that equalizer.. What gives?!?!?!?

Has anyone had any success allowing background activity? It used to be an option in developer settings, but is gone now.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] laupuy:
[MENTION=1416236]devsk[/MENTION]

sorry, I don't see ... fastboot and adb have always worked for me and in the worst case (after changing kernel) I had to flash the boot.img stock to flash OTA by adb sideload. Maybe you should flash the latest Pie stock.

Did you tried to boot on the other slot?

fastboot getvar current-slot

fastboot --set-active=a (or b) or _aslot or fastboot set_active other (or a or b)

Or try to flash bootloader, reboot bootloader, flash boot.img

Then flash stock rom (fastboot or adb)

Edit

you can flash vendor (and/or radio and/or bootloader) via fastboot

Example:

Boot into the bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img

(take note of what slot is being flashed)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader_x nameofbootloader.img

(replace x with the opposite slot a or b depending on what slot was flashed in previous step)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio --slot all nameofradio.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash vendor --slot all nameofvendor.img
