Android 9.0 P is Ready for Pixel Smartphones according to Verizon

 By Vaibhav Jain on August 06, 2018       

According to Verizon's Software support page, Stable Android 9.0 P is ready for Google Pixel Smartphones with Software build PPR1.180610.009 and latest August 2018 Security Patch.

Verizon has also mentioned the changes and features you'll be getting along Android 9.0 P including new and simpler UX with gesture navigation, slices, and app actions.

"Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update for your Google Pixel. Android 9.0 P improves your mobile experience with several new features and enhancements. This update also includes the latest Android security updates and bug fixes."

Slices

Slices are dynamic interactive templates that provide a rich UI experience when using Search and Assistant. For quick access to desired actions and apps, click on the Search bar and begin typing in the app name.

App Actions

App Actions help you get to your next task more quickly--playing your favorite Spotify playlist, for example--by predicting what you want to do next. App Actions are arranged throughout Android in places like the Launcher, Smart Text Selection, Play Store, Google Search and Google Assistant. With Android P, we're going beyond simply predicting the next app to predicting the next action you want to take. We call this feature App Actions.

Simple (UI/UX)

We're introducing a new system navigation. The design recognizes a trend towards smaller screen bezels—the borders between a screen and a phone's frame--and places an emphasis on gestures instead of hard to press buttons at the edge of the screen.

• Swipe up a single clean home button to see an updated Overview, where you can resume recently used apps in a more glanceable view
• Smart Text Selection works in Overview, so you can tap on some text and get an action to launch relevant apps
• You can quickly tap one of 5 predicted apps, or continue to swipe up to get to All Apps

So... Stable Android 9.0 P Drops today?

Moto G5s Plus Android 8.1 Oreo Kernel Source Code Released

 By Vaibhav Jain on August 01, 2018       

Motorola is due to update its Moto G5s Plus to Android 8.1 Oreo, which still seems to be in a testing phase, despite Motorola promising it would be rolling out soon.

Motorola has now released Android Oreo kernel source for the Moto G5s Plus "Sanders" to its Github. Usually the kernel source is published after the roll out of update, but not this time.

It's very useful for Developers to make a stable Custom Roms, by using these Kernel Sources. Developers can go ahead and Download the Source from Github.

With this release of Android Oreo kernel source for the Moto G5s Plus "Sanders", we assume that Official Android 8.1 Oreo for the Moto G5s+ might be around the corner.
