Android 12’s Dynamic Color struggles with some apps and games

by

The Material You is undoubtedly one of the most popular aspects of Android 12 and, with Dynamic Color, the personalization of your smartphone reaches unthinkable levels by being able to change the color accent of the interfaces and buttons of compatible applications.

Dynamic Color of Android 12 crashes apps

However, some posts published on Google Issue Tracker reveal that Android 12’s Dynamic Color would crash apps and games simply by changing the wallpaper. A small analysis conducted by colleagues at XDA revealed that most of the games tested crash as soon as the wallpaper is changed by the user; this is a big problem for those who, for example, use an application capable of cyclically changing the wallpaper of the home screen at fixed intervals of time.

To date, no changes are expected regarding the particular functioning of the Dynamic Color of Android 12, but it is likely that Google will run for cover: after all, the same Google Wallpapers application has the function that allows you to automatically change the wallpaper of your phone.

Is Sonos Behind This Chromecast Problem?

If you have a Chromecast device at home and you usually manage the audio volume directly from your smartphone from the volume rocker, with Android 12 you will no longer be able to do so due to a legal dispute between Sonos and Google. The two companies, in fact, have long been engaged in a lawsuit because, according to the company that produces audio systems, the Mountain View giant would have taken a little too much inspiration from the cast functions created by Sonos.

A Google developer, however, as discovered by Mishaal Rahman, ensures that the volume management from cast devices will again be easily managed by smartphones with the arrival of Android 12L.
