The Good Project Treble isn't a silver bullet for Android's update problems, but it's the first time in a long time Google has changed Android to make system update development easier. I love the smaller "by the way" notification section. It really cleans up the notification panel, while still letting the user read less-important notifications at their leisure. I just wish I could demote any app to "less important," regardless of what version of Android it targets. The automatically-colored media notifications look amazing! Sometimes I cycle through songs with the notification panel just to see what it comes up with. The background processing lockdown has been a long time coming. Finally, we'll see the end of wakelocks. Picture-in-picture on a phone is great for videos, and Google's experiments with things like Google Maps look very promising. EmojiCompat and downloadable fonts means Android users should get new emojis super fast. You don't even need Android O for this to work—it will work on Android 4.4 and up! The Bad Google's revamp of notification controls has the side effect of removing fine-grained notification controls for most apps. We'll have to wait for every app to upgrade to get the controls back. The ambient notification display gets a huge downgrade, changing from showing the full notification panel to only showing tiny status bar icons. Snoozing notifications could be a great feature, but the timing options are so limited that it's useless. A max of one hour? Seriously? Give me a time picker. The disabling of Chrome's picture-in-picture support specifically for youtube.com is downright sleazy. That's not how Web browsers are supposed to act. The Ugly Updates—they're still a huge problem. Here's hoping Treble actually helps.
