TCL 20 Pro finally got the Android 12 update

I was running version v3.0.3CJK (Android 11), then it auto-updated and prompted to restart so it could finish installation of v4.0.5EF4 (Android 12).
Then after rebooting, the UI drastically changed (most notable was the app drawer, settings app and quick-settings and notifications slide-down pane) along with a new notification saying "📲 Welcome to Android 12" from Google Play Services.

Just thought I'd post this for anyone still using this phone....

Switched from Pixel 3 XL to 6 Pro, a summary.

As is tradition here, and maybe I'm a little behind and nobody cares, but AMA.

Had my P3XL for 3 years, clearly it's EOL in terms of software support, and hardware starting to feel a little clunky (more on this later). Even after a good cleaning, for the last couple months my USB port decided it wanted to be directional. I took it as a sign it was time to move on.

Why the P6P? Why not the 6a or the 7P, or a Samsung? TL;DR - Was able to pick up a like-new 6 Pro for $350 USD. So the 6a is $2...

Is Arm shooting itself in the foot with suing Qualcomm over nuvia ip? - discussion

Article in question

https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/04/armqualcommlawsuit/

This article I was reading brings up a good point with the whole Qualcomm v arm debacle. Even if arm wins or loses this suit. It has pushed more rapid development to risc-v for this suit just existing. We just saw a few days ago Google announcing Android for risc-v. Also apparently arm terminated nuvia's license agreement already. I don't think it would go nuclear in the sense of nuvia ip being destroyed. But eith...

New to Sub, Long Time User / Casual Enthusiast (?)

I'm one of those kinds of people who has had Android a long time, has used it a lot and many different versions / systems / devices, but I don't have deep technical knowledge of it (for instance, I've never rooted Android before). But I do know a few little fun things here and there, kind of like with Windows Longhorn betas, just from using it so much.

I have recently gotten back into my Android "craze", and ordered a few more items. I also have many current devices running android (since they'...
