Android 14 Beta 5 is live (android-developers.googleblog.com)

I hope it's ok to post this here. The Androidbeta community doesn't seem to have much activity, and while i don't miss Reddit that much, I'm a bit sad there's not much beta news over here...

Nothing terribly new that I've noticed, but my system UI kept crashing in 4.1, and it seems to be much more stable so far... So I really can't complain!

The only consistent issue I've had with 14 so far is Nova Launcher occasionally becomes unresponsive requiring a phone reboot. Nova says it's a known issue in 14? Just today I switched to the Pixel Launcher to see if things improve. After I flash beta 5, I can go back and test Nova.

I'm using Lawnchair, and it was pretty buggy in 4.1. It's much less stuttery in beta 5 so far, and hasn't crashed yet.... Fingers crossed....

Well, the 14 beta 5 didn't fix the problem with Nova Launcher, so my choices are reboot the phone occasionally--or use Pixel Launcher for now.
