Moments after Google posted the brand new Android 14 Developer Preview 2 information, we got it up and running on a Pixel 7<\/a> to see if we might discover something new and noteworthy. Whereas Google already described the developer-related adjustments they made, we need to know if there’s something for you and I to play with.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s discover out. Right here\u2019s the most effective of Android 14 Developer Preview 2.<\/p>\n

Customized Clocks are coming<\/h3>\n

\"Android<\/a><\/p>\n

I really feel like this transformation has been tracked for a number of Android releases now, however Google has partly enabled a customized clock setting within the \u201cWallpaper & type\u201d part. At the moment listed as \u201cClock Settings,\u201d the choice describes your potential to now \u201cChoose a customized clock,\u201d presumably for the lock display screen.<\/p>\n

Right now, tapping on the choice doesn\u2019t work, so we are able to\u2019t present you the opposite clocks. I\u2019m assuming another person who has developer abilities will flip a flag at any second to indicate them off. As soon as that occurs, we\u2019ll replace this part.<\/p>\n

Additionally, sure, we’re effectively conscious that OnePlus and Samsung have had customizable lock display screen clocks for extra years than we are able to hold observe of. Google simply takes its candy time on issues like this.<\/p>\n

New again gesture design<\/h3>\n

\"Android<\/a><\/p>\n

Enjoyable, a brand new again gesture design! On the left within the picture above, you’ll be able to see Google altering the again gesture animation with a rounded bubble animation vs. the earlier pointy arrow. Not an enormous change, but it surely seems to be good sufficient.<\/p>\n

Gesture settings transfer to Show<\/h3>\n

\"Android<\/a><\/p>\n

Talking of gestures, Google is shuffling some settings round on us. The gesture navigation settings was once buried in System>Gestures. Now, Google has added a shortcut to them in Show settings (referred to as \u201cNavigation mode\u201d) and pulled them out of System>Gestures, giving them their very own shortcut beneath System settings. That\u2019s complicated, however you\u2019ll get it if you happen to take a look at the photographs above.<\/p>\n

Battery Widget shortcut in battery settings<\/h3>\n

\"Battery<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a battery widget for a short while now on Pixel telephones, however Google has added a shortcut to it throughout the battery settings part. Now on the backside, you\u2019ll discover a tappable space that brings up the widget with an choice so as to add it to your private home display screen. That\u2019s form of a neat manner to ensure folks learn about obtainable widgets.<\/p>\n

When you add the widget to a house display screen, the choice disappears from the settings space.<\/p>\n

Up to date Safety with extra settings<\/h3>\n

\"Android<\/a><\/p>\n

The Safety & Privateness part has a slight UI revamp, the place Google takes you to separate pages now if you happen to contact a setting. Within the present Android 13 model, among the settings provide dropdowns. These dropdowns are gone, however most of the pages which might be linked present much more security-related settings now. You’ll be able to management a critical quantity of stuff on this revamp.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re updating this submit!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
