The Android 15 QPR2 beta hints that Google will bring back icon shape customization, a feature it cut from Android 12.

    They should just let us install icon packs, third party launchers are broken since A12 or A11 if you use full screen gestures (and I would not use android buttons even if I get paid for it lol).

      Huh, I’ve only ever used Nexus Launcher since full screen gestures were introduced, and I’ve never had a problem, but maybe I’m missing a feature the stock launcher provides?

      The only annoying thing is the useless unhidable navigation pill, but there’s a Magisk module to hide it.

      They are broken because Google broke them by changing the api and not giving devs access to it

        Exactly, thus I am not using anything but Lawnchair with Quick Switch (requires root) as a launcher replacement.

      I wish they would let us arrange those bottom 3 buttons, again. Having back arrow on the far left is silly when its the most used out of the three.

        Use a pie launcher that can emulate the back button, like LMT Launcher. The back button will always be about an inch from wherever your thumb already happens to be.
