GOS is quite cool!
I do miss some features of the first party pixel OS, but certainly not enough to go back. Most of my gripes have to do with other apps’ dependence on Google services rather than GOS itself.
After working out the kinks of getting all my apps set up and working (my mobile carrier being the hardest since they require their stupid app) it’s been quite seamless.
Some stuff still needs work, for example I found that work profiles are really janky (since the work profile apps expect Google Play Services in the work sandbox, and get really confused when it isn’t there).
I use sandboxed Play Services with the minimum permissions to make it work, mainly because most apps just crap out or have no notifications without it, which is annoying.
I have noticed a weird bug with screenshots - it pops up the mini version of your screenshot in the corner, but if I don’t use the back gesture fast enough it will become stuck on screen until I take another screenshot (even if I tap on it to open the editing view).
Hmm, that hasn’t happened to me before, or if it did, it was a one time thing so I didn’t remember it. I just did a screenshot and it took about 6 seconds to go away. I did another and made sure to interact with it, and it stayed up a littlw longer before also disappearing.
Testing today it appears that isn’t happening any more for me either - I guess I’ve been doing my silly workaround for months for no reason!
And all it took was complaining about a bug on the internet to realize that it’s already been fixed (or stopped happening for some other reason) and I just never realized.
Slightly funny, even if it makes me look like a fool!
It looks like I just didn’t wait long enough. It does change behavior under the following edge case which is what threw me off - if you take a screenshot, click Edit, then switch apps, it stays on screen and doesn’t respond to the back gesture, you have to wait out its timer.
I figure it should go away when you go to edit (since you can now see the screenshot fullscreen and no longer need a preview)

Oh, interesting.

i assume that i’m a fool because i’ve learned that hardway that there’s always plenty i don’t know.
