🤖 Android 15 has been released at AOSP. Release on Pixel devices in a month.

Google has published the Android 15 source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This means that independent developers can now create their own ROMs based on Android 15 AOSP.

As Google states, Android 15 will be released for supported Pixel devices in the “coming weeks,” but rumors suggest it will happen in October, possibly even mid-October.

The full list of “under-the-hood” changes in Android 15 that could affect apps:

Google News | En Android 15 Beta 2: Redesigned Sound & Vibration bottom sheet. The menu that appears when you tap "..." under the volume slider has been redesigned. The sound controls now have wide fill bars with animated interaction. And for the Pixel Buds Pro headphones…
Android 15's new Volume panel will keep the Active Noise Cancellation toggle.

During the Android 15 beta test, Google introduced an updated Volume panel. However, up until the current moment, its main issue remained the absence of the Active Noise Cancellation switch for Pixel Buds Pro, which was present in the previous design.

In bug reports on Issue Tracker, Google responded with “Intended behavior. We'll have an update in the final release.” And even reporting this being on 15 QPR1 beta 1, which also lacks this switch, the response remained unchanged.

As I discovered, Google is planning to bring back the Noise Control switch using the Google Play Services server-side flag. So in fact, the company didn't cheat, and users no longer need to report it on Issue Tracker.

But you can support my report about the broken open/close and toggling Noise Control mode animations:

Android 15 QPR1 Beta1: Updated animation for holding down quick settings tiles

Holding a tile that can open a full settings page will now play a new zoom animation that progresses as you hold it. This action is also accompanied by an updated haptic feedback with a click at the beginning, a rising vibration and a click at the end.

Android 15 could add new settings to manage your external display

A new page in the Settings app will let you tweak the resolution and rotation of external displays.

I managed to enable the new page and grab some screenshots, which you can find in this article on Android Authority.

Android 15 QPR1 Beta1: The keyboard has received a predictive back gesture animation.

Android 15 enables predictive gesture back by default for apps that support this. It typically shows you which screen you'll get to, or which item you'll close (navdrawer, bottom sheet card, etc.).

Android 15 QPR1 goes further and includes a predictive back gesture animation for the keyboard. But it doesn't work everywhere. For this to work, the application must have implemented smooth keyboard opening animations: the WindowInsetsAnimationCompat — an API existing since Android 11.

If the app supports this API, predictive keyboard animation will work even if the app does not support predictive back gesture.

Google News | En Google has introduced a native Pixel Weather app. For a long time, Pixel devices offered a page belonging to the Google Search app as the center of weather information. Along with the presentation of Pixel 9, Google introduced a new native weather app that…
The “At a glance” and “Weather” widgets will be directing to the new Pixel Weather app.

Earlier, an APK of the new Pixel Weather app appeared online, but many were left wondering if it would open from the At a glance widget and Weather widget on Pixel devices. The answer is that it will.

For those who have installed the new app, Google is server-side rolling out a new change that, when tapped on one of these widgets, redirects users to the Pixel Weather app instead of the weather page (with the frog) built into the Google Search app.

And for fans of the frog, Google has prepared separate weather widgets (part of the Google Search app) that are not available to users yet.

Here's what the Pixel Studio app looks like.

Specially for the Pixel 9 series, Google has made a new Pixel Studio app. which is an image generator based on the diffusion model running on the device and Google's cloud-based text-to-image model Imagen 3.

When first launched, the app requires a ~1.2GB download of the Pixel AI model. The home page presents a series of pre-prepared queries divided by subject ( Posters, Magic Castles, etc.) each of which can be opened and rewritten to your liking.

At the very bottom of the page there is a create button which will open a page with an empty field for entering a query. Once you have a generated image, you can optionally overlay text and stickers (only one set for now). At the end, you can save the image to your clipboard or device, or share it directly in another app

Our follower @ralph950412 was able to upload the APK from Google Play, thanks to which, it can be installed by anyone with Android 13+, but it looks like Google is server-side restricting it, so the app won't work for everyone.

Pixel 9's “Add me” feature can technically work on the Pixel 8 Pro.

Along with the Pixel 9 series, Google introduced a new 'Add me' feature exclusive to this series. It allows you to take a multi-person company photo if you don't have a tripod with you or don't have anyone to ask to take the shot. To do this, Add Me combines 2 photos so that everyone is in the frame.

However, I was able to run Add Me on my Pixel 8 Pro. To do this, I installed the Pixel Camera APK version 9.5.118 and used root to activate the Cottage__cottage_enabled flag. And as it turns out, this feature works on the Pixel 8 Pro without any problems. It also uses Google AR Core Services for its functionality.

We did the same on the Pixel 6, but the 'Add me' libraries from the Pixel 9 turned out to be incompatible with this device.

Who knows, maybe in the future Google will roll out 'Add me' to some older Pixel models with one of the next Pixel Feature Drops ?

New Pixel Camera update allows you to manually activate Astrophotography mode.

Since its introduction, the Astrophotography mode was automatic, and the prerequisite for its activation was that the device was stationary. To do this, you had to put the phone on a tripod or a stable surface. Otherwise, the mode was simply unavailable.

With the update of the 'Pixel Camera' app to version 9.5.118, users will finally have the option to activate Astro mode manually. To do this, there are two steps to take:

1) in the Night Sight mode quick settings, enable Astrophotography.
2) in the Night Sight duration slider select the new “Astro” option (rightmost position) .

This will automatically enable 5 seconds timer (which can be turned off) so that after the shutter is pressed, you have time to place the device on a stable surface and point it at the stars.

Google News | En A demo of how the Pixel 8 Pro's thermometer works. One of Google's strangest decisions was to build a thermometer into the 8 Pro. At the current stage, it can measure the temperature of surrounding objects, while measuring human skin temperature is limited…
The new update to Pixel Thermometer makes it easier to measure the temperature of objects.

Now when you tap on the “Object Temperature” section, you will be presented with a menu 'Routine measurements' (food, liquid, cooking surfaces), for quick access to the most frequently measured objects. To measure an object without a category, simply press '+'. At the same time, the menu with the selection of other materials has not gone anywhere and is accessible via the button at the bottom when measuring temperature.

The temperature measurement UI has also changed. Changes include the use of a camera viewfinder with a camera unit overlay. The center of the screen displays real-time temperature and a circular indicator of the distance to the object. To record a measurement, you sill need to tap the screen.

The update is available with the new version 1.0.654975759.
