I'm really looking forward to the clone app feature being backed into AOSP. Hopefully LineageOS gets updated pretty soon as it was the case with Android 13

That'd be great so I can use my two phone numbers with Signal, which so far doesn't let you enroll two numbers simultaneously.
You might wanna leverage android's "work profiles" feature using something like Shelter or Island to achieve this :P
Can't sideload APK because of work restrictions.
Developer mode is also blocked.
Island and Shelter can both be installed from Google Play π€
Link? I can't find either of them.

We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.
https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter#downloads doesn't seem to be on Play Store.
Existing beta users, what say you? Have the latest betas been stable enough to install on my daily driver? Are there a lot of useful advantages over Android 13? If I've waited this long to install the beta, should I just stay on 13 until the official release?
I've been on all the betas. It's fine. There are still things I'd like to see resolved still, but it's stable enough to use.
I'm not in the beta (my phone isn't included), but I wouldn't bother installing a beta now when the full version will likely be here in 3-4 weeks.
I've been on the beta since the first one. I wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver at any point.
I was using beta 3 and 4, beta 4 is pretty good but I needed to do factory reset to fix some issues there
I'm updating to this one now, but honestly no it's not worth it. I'm on P6P and weird stuff like my call notification just not showing up and random gesture nav freezes has turned me off of participating in future betas. Missing phone calls because I can't see them has been problematic in multiple events these last few months. I'm going to reset my phone come the official update.
So I'm itching to download the latest Android 14 Beta since it's very close to stable.
If after my phone also eventually updates to the final public version of Android 14, can I somehow opt out of future beta updates without having to wipe my phone?
You can opt out of the beta program at any time, but doing so when there is no stable version means a wipe and reinstall.
Once the stable version is released, you can stay on it and opt out of future betas. Android 15 beta will require a new beta program. Betas for minor upgrades can be opted out.
Google usually lets you update from beta to stable with ease
Predictive gestures still in developer options?
What does that do?
Does anyone that is currently beta testing Android 14 know if it still supports sim to esim conversion?
I am now bored of Android and really want Pinephone to go mainstream so that I can change OS whenever I want. Ubuntu touch looks so cool
