My pixel c just got the ota to Oreo but notification dots don't seem to be working even though they are turned on in the settings. Is there something I need to do to get them working or is this another pixel phone only feature.

It's because Google didn't see fit to update the Pixel launcher on our Pixel C. If you check, you'll find it's still the Nougat version (7.1.1.xxxx)

Yup. I don't understand why honestly. What's the point on bringing it if they won't update on future updates. We may see a patch in form of an ota in the future, who knows.
For now, I guess you can use APKmirror to get the latest version.

Is there anyone creating a dark theme for the Pixel? I just can't stand dialer, messenger, and settings menu all white.... So annoying. I know we have unlock and root now and wondering if anyone is creating a work around to enable a true "dark mode" or a theme that themes all the Google apps?

?Do NOT use Substratum Legacy on Pixels or Nexus devices running the 7.1.1 dev previews until further notice.
From the app notes section.

Yeah. All the good stuff usually does.
I think maybe I misunderstood the OP is he asking for something like TRDS in the old Slim days? Or just a way to get as much black as possible?

Was there anything else that you had to do other than root to get substratum working? I'm wondering if maybe it's not working because I'm still on NDE63L and not P as I am rooted and I get a list of compilation errors when I try to apply a theme (swift dark)

Weird maybe I'll try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I'm up in Canada and it doesn't look like we've gotten the P update up here yet though I doubt that's actually the problem
Edit: unfortunately still getting the error ?

I'm getting a warning message saying don't flash any system or framework themes. So what's actually safe to flash on sub?

Everything I have read said doesn't work on Pixel 7.1.1. Proceed at your own risk. That being said I tried Magpie, Spectrum and Divinity with no bootlooping. Legacy theming is similar to 7.0. Kinda janky. Make sure you can fastboot system image and or format user data if anything goes wrong.
Just an update, I pushed the 63P update to my phone and substratum now works! I don't know if anything else was going on and I just needed to wipe or if going from L to P was needed but at least it's working now

Hey everyone, My gf and I both have XL's on Oreo 8.0 but for some reason her google now card home page looks like it has been updated to some new more transparent look. Anyone know how i could update my google now? Just to clarify i mean the page that i located on the home screen of the stock pixel launcher.
Thanks in advance!
It's rolled out on Google's side eventually you will get it. I hate it.

The big issue is that you can't swipe away cards from the main window. You have to tap the 3 dots then tap done with story. So one gesture that could easily be made is turned into 2 gestures that have to be relatively accurate.

Force stop is greyed out on it so it is probably dependent on another app to start the services.

Apparently won't work without the audio matching DB, some extra libraries and some modifications to SystemUI.

Interesting read and in that instance, i regret having a Verizon Pixel XL now .
Some more interesting info in this article from yesterday. Looks like progress is being made and with any luck we'll have this on our 1st gen pixels soon

Loved portrait mode.

What it the best camera port from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ ??

if I am correct I am using that one(GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk)
it works great for me sometimes if you take a lot of times it takes some time to process them or crashes completely

I tried installing skulshady_gcam_5.3.015_v7.apk but it crashes on startup.
I installed the same as Dimitri, haven't had a chance to really put it through the ringer yet though.

I have had NX installed for months (on both Pixel and XL) and even have it set as default. No issues that I have noticed through many new releases, though I keep the stock camera on the phone just in case.

Look into the SwiftKey theme settings and see if is in there. I f not, you can create a theme yourself.
