Android 15 is released to AOSP with new features and improvements, including tools for app development, typography, internationalization, and more.
Pixel updates will still take a few weeks, IIRC they are announced for early october.
How is AOSP? Is it still good without all the proprietary code from Google? The last I read about it, I read that Google purposely put a lot of functionality into the play services to keep the code proprietary. Has that gimped AOSP, or is it still strong?
It’s basically unusable. Use a custom ROM that fixes AOSP/makes it a lot more usable.
That’s a shame
Unfortunately, no significant changes
Feels like Android is way mature OS than any competitors. So Google don’t need to do anything. Just use the market position to milk more money through AI.
That’s definitely not true. We still don’t have focus modes or widgets on lock screen or maybe 3rd party lock screens clocks or the ability to mute notifications on an app/channel or desktop mode.
All those lockscreen features have been a thing before, but got removed for some reason
I’m not sure we could ever add a 3rd party lock screen
I’m not sure if it was an official feature, but I remember messing around with KLCK (Kustom Lock Maker) some years ago
Gotta update again… :/
You don’t gotta do anything you don’t want to.
Not much as changed
The linked changes look like some great polish and housekeeping work.
Does anyone know if gestures with 3rd party Launchers is fixed.
