Interesting new CAF release. I wonder which OEM plans to bring Android 12 to their Snapdragon 845 devices (other than Google to their Pixel 3, obviously)

GS201 (successor to the Google Tensor in the Pixel 6?) is in the works

Platform: Add GS201 platform support.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. I wonder what improvements/changes they'll make. Supposedly, Google is making its own chip for Chromebooks, too.

Can we talk about how Material You has only removed customization options.

Just got Android 12 on my pixel 5 yesterday. For an update that's marketed as being about "You", all Google has done is removed options to customize.

Choose from 7 quick setting icon styles.
Choose from 14 colours.
Choose from 7 App shapes.
Choose the Grid size.
You can then save all those as a profile, so you can easily switch between profiles.

Now let's look at Android 12 with...

Swift Backup 3.7 adds Android 12 support and uses Shizuku to perform batch backups without root

Pretty significant update to Swift Backup - a comprehensive app and data backup solution on Android (and alternative to Titanium Backup) - just got released. Version 3.7 not only adds Android 12 support but also uses Shizuku to perform many batch actions without needing root.
