My guess is, as per the title, Android P will be called Peppermintā€¦ Based on my own opinion and backed up by mkbhd thinking the same :wink:

Iā€™m running P on my Pixel 2 XL already (yay Dev Preview which will likely be super unstable :sweat_smile::sweat_smile: ā€¦ When will I learn :yum:)

Canā€™t wait to see what DP2 brings to the table. Hopefully it mines the clock to the correct sideā€¦ -_- And maybe itā€™ll get rid of the silly colours in the settings menu!

Anything you like / dislike so far about P? :slight_smile:

Havenā€™t flashed yetā€¦ I usually wait for DP2 or an OTA Beta program like has been done recentlyā€¦ Iā€™ve been reading the AndroidPolice articles and getting some FOMO though already :joy:

I think I just missed the free edit window :joy:

Butā€¦ Youā€™ll all be relieved to hear that the Monzo app works perfectly on P :yum:

I said the same to myself yesterdayā€¦ But I figured; what could possibly go wrong? :wink:

Flash it! :joy: We have cookies :smirk: ā€¦ Though peppermints might be more appropriate in this situation! :thinking:

Discourse is so unfair! It didnā€™t split into 3x 33.3% - time to file a bug report I guess :sweat_smile: hehe

I usually lose access to half my banking apps when i flash early :frowning: Barclaycard always crashes hard for a few months and sometimes I canā€™t install the HSBC app. Which pretty much screws up my main accounts at the moment, especially as HSBC relies on the app for 2FA.

Iā€™m there right now :persevere: lost Fingerprint on 2 apps and completely lost login access to one finance app :thinking: yay?

Totally worth it for the latest and greatest version though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: just gotta get magisk working (or a custom kernel which might be able to past CTS (safety net) :crossed_fingers:

I am slightly tempted to move my important apps onto the other halfā€™s phone, then at least I can see if they work, if not I can just flash back to Oreo :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm those buttons at the top of the notification. That looks like a refinement of the youtube app ā€˜trendingā€™ tab. Obviously something theyā€™ve been working on for Material Design 2 (also the separate screen regions with a black border is new).

I wonder how itā€™ll work in practice as Iā€™m not sure big round buttons is an improvementā€¦

Itā€™s going to be a long couple of months before the second dev preview :grin::joy:

Itā€™s remarkably stable, if thatā€™s enough to convince you :grin:

Itā€™s going to be a loooong wait :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I might flash around Google IO time if there is enough exciting stuff to convince me

Iā€™m thinking of picking up a Pixel 2 XL (entirely @simonbā€™s fault) as a secondary phone so I might stick Android Penguin on it :thinking:

Well I gave in. Just flashed my Pixel, waiting for it to finish restoring everything nowā€¦

ā€œAdding the finishing touchesā€¦ā€ takes ages :frowning:
