Custom ROM throwback: Android 11 tests separating the Quick Settings panel from the notification shade
Android 11 is testing a feature which separates the Quick Settings panel from the Notification Shade, something we've seen in Custom ROMs already. Read on!
The first builds of Android 11 were released a few hours ago, coming to us in the form of Developer Preview 1. This new release of Android brings along a lot of new privacy and security-focused changes, several developer-oriented updates, and a whole bunch of changes that were not part of the announcement post from Google. While we were looking around for more new, unannounced changes in the newest version of Android, we stumbled upon something that surprised us...but not really. With Android 11, Google is testing a separation of the Quick Settings panel from the Notification Shade -- a feature that used to exist in several older custom ROMs.
