#PlayStore

Just a minor redesign of Notifications and Offer page. Instead of separate tabs, both things will be unified. Currently google is on a mission of redesign/code changes of almost all UI elements in Play Store. This redesign (according to flags) is termed as "Univision". They have already enabled various "Univision" changes. The device selection dialogue which you see when tap on the little downward arrow, is also a Univision change. If we disable the flag of Univision it goes back to old green accents. Anyway, the flag for above change is -

Package - com.google.android.finsky.stable

Flag - NotificationAnd OfferCenter__enable_page_in_univision

@GappsModFlags

#PlayStore

Google will finally add the ability to swipe between tabs on some pages in Play Store. I found it working on "My apps and games" and "Notification & Offers" page for now.

Rooted users need to switch one flag to make it.

Package -com.google.android.finsky.regular
Flag (Disable it) - RemoveLeftRightSwipeGestureToSwitchTab__is_enabled

Who found the flag - @AssembleDebug

@GappsModFlags

New Google at a glance widget. I know it's known. But just showing how this is gonna work. All we have seen till now is just screenshots. 🙊

#PlayStore

Looks like only a few people got this feature and it has a certain reason. This feature was not supposed to roll out to everyone instantly and it is kind of an opt-in feature without the possibility of being enabled manually.

You need to fulfil the first and only condition to trigger the opt-in notification (according to Google) - Have low storage. The opt-in notification triggers when you have left with internal storage of 2000MB (according to values in the flag database if I am understanding that thing correctly :p).

Another way to enable it - Just root your phone and use GappsMod to enable four flags.

Package - com.google.android.finsky.stable

Flags -
1. Hibernation__auto_hibernation
2. Hibernation__hibernation_installation
3. Hibernation__hibernation_my_apps
4. Hibernation__hibernation_my_apps_filter

#GoogleContacts

With Google Contacts version 4.14.23.551708978, Google seems to be working on some kind of chips suggestion in a Google contact detail page. So far I have seen only two suggestions as shown in the screenshot but tapping on them doesn't seem to do anything for now. We might see it working in the next version.

Other change -
The reminder setting screen got some improvement and the change in notification setting is getting saved. (it wasn't working before)

Google Side Panel Feed UI

There are two additional styles which you can as well which looks much better than the one I shared earlier. First one is totally transparent without any kind of outline and the second one is proper card UI with a touch of Material You.
So we have to use the flags I shared yesterday as well as the flag I am sharing today to enable these layouts.

Package - com.google.android.libraries.search.googleapp.device#com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Flag -
• 45400318
• 45410632
• 45409134
• 45381108

Important -
• Keep the first and second flags enabled
• Enable the fourth flag for card UI.
• Enable third and fourth flags for transparent UI.


Thanks to @Alhaialy_21 for pointing flag about the first UI.
Myself for the CardUI flag :p

Enable QR Code Scanner Auto-Zoom feature

As Mishaal shared about the release of Auto-Zoom feature with MLkit bar code scanning library. The QR scanner integrated in GMS has this feature already. The auto-zoom flag is present in GMS from last month (or more) afaik. It was not enabled because it was in testing maybe.

How to enable it ?

Package - com.google.android.gms.vision

Flag - PlatformQuickScannerFeature__enable_auto_zoom

Read FAQ about applying flag to GMS packages

@GappsModFlags

In addition to this, you can enable the "Scan from photos" feature with PlatformQuickScannerFeature__enable_scan_from_photos flag from the same GMS package.
This feature has been a hide and seek game for me, it appears and disappears from time to time. Thanks Google.

#GoogleMessages

Enable Compose UI in Google Messages

The news is not new, Google has been working on this UI update for some months. Some features may not work after enabling the flag for this UI.

Package - com.google.android.apps.messaging.auto#com.google.android.apps.messaging

Flag - 45403082

Additionally you can enable this flag to enable the homescreen redesign of Google Messages.

#GoogleFiles

For Indian Users -
The user interface has been updated for the digilocker. The backend is still not enabled publicly so I still can not use its feature. When enabled, you can authorise Google Files app with your digilocker account and then manually add aadhar, PAN, COVID Certificate and Driving License and maybe more.

More info about this - TechCrunch

There is a flag for this thing, but it is hidden and can not be enabled with GappsMod. You have to directly modify Phenotype.db of GMS to add the flag.

#Gboard

There are some exciting changes in Gboard With the latest beta update.

1. Predictive Back Navigation.
2. Undo support for stylus. And gestures for stylus.
3. Proofreading support using Generative AI
4. Emogen - A Generative artificial intelligence emoji generator.
5. Chatbot (probably just Gen. AI)???

• Proofread with Gboard
Proofread helps you correct spelling, grammar and punctuation with just a tap.
When you use Proofread, the text you write, your feedback, and your interaction with the feature will be sent to and stored on Google servers for 60 days to provide you with proofreading suggestions and help improve this feature.

More info and probably demo soon.
