b'Episode Summary
\\n00:00 | Intro
\\n02:22 | Notifications
\\n
\\nOrganized by categories: Major Ongoing, People to People, General, BTW
\\n
\\nMajor Ongoing typically have bold background colors. Looks especially great with media players that implement it.
\\nBTW notifications are tiny, at the bottom, and don\\u2019t create icons in the status bar
\\n
\\n
\\nHATE the \\u201can app is running in the background\\u201d notification
\\nHow to Hide the “App is Running in the Background” Persistent Notification on Android Oreo
\\n
\\nGood idea, but annoying implementation. I always have Pebble running.
\\nExempt: keyboards, live wallpapers, notification listeners, accessibility apps, and anything the OEM puts on.
\\n
\\n
\\nSnooze notifications is a great concept! Works just like snoozing messages in Inbox: that individual notification goes away for a certain period of time, then comes back.
\\nNotification channels: apps can specify different categories for notifications, and if they do the user can set different priority levels for each
\\nNotification dots on home screen icons
\\n
\\n10:58 | Quick settings
\\n
\\nVisual cues about which icons are toggles and which expand menus
\\n
\\nIt takes way more taps to start Do Not Disturb for 30 minutes
\\n
\\n
\\nDon\\u2019t like the white notification tray/quick settings
\\n
\\nOn Pixel 2, setting a dark wallpaper changes quick settings to dark theme
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n14:19 | Unusual rollout to Nexus 5X
\\n16:00 | Settings app rearranged
\\n
\\nMany categories merged
\\nI have personally been having a hard time finding things, but the search bar saves me
\\nSome options show up in multiple places, making it more likely that you will find it if you are looking around for it
\\nOfficial method for users to add ringtones
\\n
\\n17:46 | Emoji
\\n
\\nCompletely redesigned emoji set
\\n
\\nIt\\u2019s… okay. I liked the flatness of the old set, but I like the shape consistency of the new one.
\\n69 new ones, hurr hurr
\\n
\\n
\\nEmojiCompat allows apps to display emoji from newer versions of Android
\\n
\\nGoogle Play Services is the font provider
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n22:52 | Home screen/launcher
\\n
\\nAdaptive icons require developers to submit a foreground image and a background, and the launcher chooses what shape cutout to make the background
\\n
\\nDon\\u2019t like that more of my icons are dinner plates
\\nFortunately Action Launcher lets me manually change them
\\n
\\n
\\nApps can now surface their widgets from within the app, so the user doesn\\u2019t have to dig through the All Widgets list to find them
\\n
\\n27:31 | Quick text selection
\\n
\\nDetects when you are selecting something like an address, phone number, email, URL, etc and selects the whole thing at once
\\nAlongside cut/copy/paste it can surface an appropriate app to open that in
\\n
\\n29:44 | Password manager, autofill
\\n
\\nSynchronizes the info you saved on Chrome and makes it available in Android
\\nAlso makes this framework available to third party password managers
\\n
\\n31:54 | Security
\\n
\\nApps can only request location once every 30 minutes in background
\\nThere is now a proper way for apps to create floating UI (like FB Messenger bubbles) that doesn\\u2019t abuse System Alert Window
\\nGoogle Play Protect now shows up all over the place (especially in Settings and Play Store) to assure the user Google is doing antivirus work
\\nSideloading permission is now grated on a per-source basis
\\n
\\nUnfortunately, Chrome is listed as one source
\\n
\\n
\\nVerified Boot will not boot an OS that has been downgraded
\\nApps are more limited on how they can identify the device.'
