I'm thinking of switching from 1+9 pro to pixel 6 pro. What are the disadvantages of this device in comparison with 1+?
I've just switched from a Oneplus 9 to a Pixel 6 Pro and the only things I am missing are the alert slider, face unlock and the smaller pre-Android 12 quick settings with separate wifi and data toggles. Apart from that everything is either the same or better. I got sick of the bugs in my Oneplus 9, especially a significant Android Auto one which does not occur on the Pixel.
Just a note that if you root you can use a Magisk Module to get face unlock.

For separate wifi and data toggles you have to put this in adb
settings put global settings_provider_model false
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles “wifi,cell,$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles)”
I did that with Android 12

I did that earlier today, but it still only means two quick settings per row instead of the six I use to have on the OnePlus.

The QuickSettings style is from the first item in my list above. StatusBar items I modified using the second item in my list. The third item in my list, Themer, has the ability to enlarge the clock in the QQS (Quick QuickSettings / first swipe down), so I might try it again and see if it'll play nice with both of the other modifications.
Note that although the options I chose in the first two modifications work with each other just fine, note that doesn't guarantee they'll keep working together, but I hope they do. The first item appears to override the second item as far as QuickSettings, at least for me.

I am very excited to hear all of these. Mine is coming tomorrow.
I've watched LeEco Le 2 can survive water test for at least a minute (maybe similar protection [IP53] that Pixel phone offers) so that will be a bonus from this awesome phone.
is x720 compatible with this update or should i wait some more?

Has anyone else noticed certain widgets crashing/not starting on reboot? I've noticed two particular widgets not starting on reboot:
1) Battery Widget Pro

This is a Magisk module that adds a hardware overlay for the Xperia 10 III for any PHH-Treble based ROM.
This amongst other things enables auto brightness!
To install, simply copy to your phone, and in Magisk use the "install from storage" option, then reboot.
While this overlay is based on official Sony files, it should be considered very experimental because I have no idea what I'm doing. GLHF

hi . your overlay is fine exept you have missed to remove some no-existing attribute for phh-gsi see https://github.com/pepijndevos/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/1
phh said in my PR "I'll allow it" regarding these properties, which is why I left them. https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/413#issuecomment-968368630 but I have not heard from him since, so unclear to me if he'll whitelist them or what I should do about them. If he'd told me to remove them I'd obviously have done so.

I have a question about custom (aosp) roms on Pixel 6 pro.. Can the camera still provide the same quality of photos (ai upscale) as well as the other proprietary features pixel offers on aosp?
How many proprietary features being available will depend on the developers of the specific rom. In ProtonAOSP case, if you install gapps and Google camera, there should be no difference compared to stock.

Yeah I figured some clarification might be needed since they may have assumed the proprietary part of the question was reflected in your response. Np
In a perfect world anyone loading the ROM would read all the dev details anyway.

My apologies.. So, eventually (when Google ends support) the camera quality *should* not suffer when upgraded to Android 16?

In my experience, you would be fine. Even if developers didn't have access to newer proprietary blobs the old ones work. So you might miss out new features but I don't see the quality taking a hit.
Is 5G enabled for all countries on this ROM?
Is it possible to hide the status bar so an application can fill the entire screen? The terminal commands I used to use on my Pixel 3 XL are no longer working
?
No
The last Magisk module I had that could change the height caused boot loops since 12.1, but even before then messing around with those settings could cause them. Google really doesn't want anyone messing with status bar on this phone apparently.
You can use this Magisk Modul for a rooted phone https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/G-VisualMod . After installation you have to activate the notch killer profile in the systems settings in developer mode section below the DPI setting.
If the app itself doesn't support fullscreen you can install https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed with https://repo.xposed.info/module/ru.bluecat.android.xposed.mods.appsettings . Appsettings allows to define the fullscreen mode.
Otherwise you can look for a similar app that supports fullscreen for your intended use.

It is possible with system ui tuner but the space occupied by the status bar is still unusable by apps. This may be a limitation with having the punch hole because my poco f2pro and oneplus 7 pro both can still go completely immersive on A12 but they are true full screen phones.

Seems to only work on Samsung phones now days. I used either System UI Tuner or just used the ADB commands on my Note 20 Ultra when I had it and any other phone before that and it works on my Z Fold3 and my Galaxy Tab S7 but doesn't work on my Pixel 6 Pro or my OnePlus 9 Pro. I don't know if it's just how Samsung phones are setup or what. I
had read somewhere about it being something Google had removed in Android 11 but it still worked for Samsung devices. Who knows why it works on Samsung devices and not on others.

Anyone received the update on their devices yet?
It's rolling out and will probably be a few more weeks until it's out for everyone. International is getting it now and there are some in the US that have been getting it, but still not wide distribution. Just hang tight and it will come out.
Just installed on t-mobile
Yup, T-Mobile LOCKED and I got the update today (USA)
What version of Android is it listed as?
Mine is also T-mobile network. Unlocked purchased from Samsung. See attached.

September 2022 update for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 expands to T-Mobile unit in the US
T-Mobile is expanding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 September 2022 Android security patch update in the US. This update slightly improves the device’s performance in order to maintain the users’ sexperience. Going by the new information, this update bears the One UI build version F926U1UEU2DVI2...

In Settings, "Taskbar" is greyed out (although the toggle seems to be set on).
Android 12L ist not shown in System Settings. You have to check the Android API Level with an app, that allows this. Android 12 has API level 31, 12L 32.

Thanks for that clarification. The API level for this build is 32. And now I am starting to see the Taskbar. Not sure why it didn't appear immediately after I installed the update.
Now I understand why the Taskbar is only appearing intermittently. I have been using Nova Launcher. Evidently the Taskbar is unreliable unless one uses the One UI Launcher. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. (Probably an update to Nova Launcher will be needed.)
What's the difference between the task bar and the edge panel as far as what they do? I use edge panel all the time to drag apps into pop-up or occasionally split-screen view, and that's what I've read the same thing the task bar does. I really miss the downloadable edge panels from my previous Samsung, though!

As far as I can tell, the Taskbar works similarly to Windows and the Mac dock: icons appear in the Android Taskbar when you are running (or recently ran) an app. You tap on any icon in the Taskbar to switch to it. This seems like an alternative to the recent apps virtual button in Android's navigation. The main advantage is that the icons are continuously visible.

Thanks! I haven't installed the update yet, but it has been asking me to. When I get the moment to, I will. From the update list, seems like there are some nice improvements!
Yep, on my unlocked Z Fold3 and Verizon Z Fold2. Who needs a Z Fold4 now when it's the same OS lol
I updated yesterday. I tried to get used to the task bar, but I couldn't stand it after a few minutes. Just way too distracting with so many icons of different colors across the bottom. If they'd turned them all grayscale, maybe it wouldn't be as bad, but nope. Also really bad for screen burn-in, which I don't want to risk on this phone anymore than I already do with having to use an on-screen keyboard (it got a little burned in on my last phone). (I recently looked at my dad's phone and he plays Scrabble so much on it that the game board is burned into his Note phone [I don't know what number it is]. )
just tap and hold the task bar (e.g. on the bottom right) and it disappears.
Tap and hold again, and it will be back ...
Might be easier to turn it off in settings.
If you want to get rid of it permanently, yes ...
