General January update has dropped.

My search has so far additionally found /data/apex/ota_reserved

hmm ota_package has some data in it but it doesn't match the size of the update which should be about 215mb?

Maybe some more experienced guys than I should advise how to proceed...

If you're coming from November, then yes, should be 215 MB. Smaller if you're coming from December. data/ota doesn't have anything additional?

What are the filenames of what's in either? Also - may be compressed to less than 215 MB??? Just an idea, but not sure if would be, or if 215 MB would be the compressed size already.

I'm coming from november so it should be 215mb which was confirmed in the update window. payload_properties lists file size as 215. I don't think theyre compressed because all the files are only about 1mb in total.

I never take chances. I always factory flash without wiping. OTAs are such a messy process.

So far, things are very stable.

The camera software is a Lil different. Theres a slider to adjust focal length instead of around button to push

I did a camera update earlier in the week and I noticed that change,

where do you get the individual camera update?

 

[Brewbud]

My OTA update is 215MB. Unfortunately, it has been frozen on "Optimizing your device" for the last 30 minutes.

Playstore. I don't have auto update on so it popped up when I went to use the camera.

Apparently accessibility shortcuts mess with the layout of your camera zooms. If you disable the shortcuts and close/restart camera they'll come back.

Mine took ages too and that was 41.3mb!

Hmmmmm indeed. Well, I would expect if you shut off your WiFi and Mobile Data and at least delete those four files (I confirm there's nothing in there on mine), then you would *probably* be okay since I'm sure those files are needed to even start the process, I would hope.

If you delete those and take your chances, I would start the flash of the full factory image (modified removing the "-w ") while you're still in Android, as the script will boot it into Fastboot. Just make sure you have the very latest Platform Tools, too. I haven't checked if they updated them for January yet, but it's always a good habit with each update.

Still laggy and a jittery mess, tensor is complete **** lol, pixel 5 on android 12 is sweet asf

What launcher are you using? I was on a thread the other day with someone complaining about the same problems who insisted switching to Nova launcher fix those issues. Might be worth a try.

Just got the OTA. SQ1D.220105.007 was the package. 215 MB download and long time to optimize. We shall see! USA T-Mobile.

 

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

The fact that both T-Mobile and Verizon unrooted users are getting the OTA to the same SQ1D.220105.007 release, whereas they weren't getting the same release for December (T-Mobile was getting Global, and Verizon was getting the U.S. Carriers) gives further evidence that this may be a consolidated build, thankfully. Hopefully, it's true.

it is a consolidated build

Again, I say, this is the start....doesnt necessarily mean VZW wont come out with their bloated tweaks.....

 

[android_dan]

I can report that if nothing else my FP reader is much improved. That said I was one of the lucky ones having little to no problems with my Pixel.

 

[ggrant3876]

I received the January Security update and I had previously sideloaded the December update.

You've probably figured this out already, but if you were already on the December build it should be around 41mb, but if you were on the November build it will be around 215mb.
