So I downloaded an unzipped the files, anyone notice there seems to be a lot less files...... anyone notice this? I did last year's DP1 but I don't remember the details.
Android Q Discussion
- Thread starter djcrystals
- Start date
I tried to use Deuce's flash, that didn't work. I tried to root it using Canary Magisk. That didn't work.
No Q root via Magisk until major rewrite it seems.

There are more tweets after that explaining why and the complexities of the new Q partition layout.

Thanks! I was rushing before work. I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't totally surprised it ended in failure.
Cant find dark mode ... Cant tell any major diferecnces ... Its basically pie with a Q
Need to set it before upgrading or set it via ADB:

Apparently you gotta use ADB to enable it. There's a recent article regarding it.

I cant upload photos , dont know why , it takes me to main xda page when i close the window , but in dev options ( in settings) the last section lets you choose font type (2 available ) , main colour of the ui and icon type( 4 available )
I cant tell if they were there before
Trying to upload the screenshot i took , i found that the app to choose files is renewed , for better

Yep. TJW had that one handled a couple of days after it was out. Doesn't look like the case this time however. Google apparently doesn't like us rooting evidently!
It's working for me, but it appears to need more forceful gestures than previously. But this might be because I fitted a new screen protector yesterday!
In reading the twitter feed by Magisk dev John Wu, it may come sooner than expected, his last couple of tweets made it seem like he had narrowed the problem down a bit. Also, another user hinted at a possibility of getting it working via an alternate method, but I haven't seen anything else.
But since this thread is about Q, let me say this:
1) I already had dark mode on in Pie.
2) I had root via Magisk, but completely uninstalled it (without locking the bootloader though), so no FDR needed.
3) First attempt at taking the OTA left me in a weird partial (stock) recovery where it said that the OTA could not be applied (I'm paraphrasing), and had the options to try again or FDR. I hit try again and it rebooted back to the same place - I hit try again a second time and et voila! it rebooted to Android and I have Q now on my Taimen. No idea why that happened, and I haven't performed any checks to see if it maybe flipped to the other slot or something (which I highly doubt, as it was extremely quick from when I pressed the try again to when it rebooted and started booting Android Q).
So, first thoughts:
I've started an album at my GPHotos with screenshots I've taken thus far. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdbTnXZNYpQ3xBFS6
It's 1:30 AM now. I'm off to bed.

So, first thoughts:
- The Google Feed now has a bit of translucency - pretty cool!
- Settings is now dark mode
- Notifications are also dark, double yay!
- Night light is working better - the blue accents in settings, etc now also dull, the way they should.
- Redesigned Files app - looks nice! Those items at the top are selectable, individually or in groups.

I feel the fingerprint sensor works very fast and very accurate. Can anyone please conform.
I can confirm this. I'm using Pixel 2 XL and Pixel XL and after update to Q beta I can feel fingerprint sensor works faster on both devices. even I can feel so much faster response on Pixel XL
Can anyone confirm that edit button on screenshot notification is broken for you too ?
