Hello, I just got the Pixel 2 and wanted to try the picture in picture feature but it will not work. I checked to see if it was enabled in apps and notifications/advanced/special app access/picture in picture... And there is a few apps enabled. I'm running Android v8.1.0
Thanks,

That's split screen, I'm talking about picture and picture where you can watch a YouTube video hold down your home button and it would be a floating window you could move around.

At the moment YouTube doesn't work in PIP mode. It only works in YouTube Red. There are very few apps that can do this. GMaps being one of them

You can try YouTube in Chrome and pip should work
I tried Google Maps as well it didn't work either.. to be honest the pixel 2 phone is horrible I had a Nexus 6 with the pixel 2 launcher and it was exactly the same even the speed.

Thanks for being honest.
Google maps works fine in PIP.

Ok I retried Google maps and it worked, Here's why it didn't before. You have to have the destination and be in driving mode before it will do picture-n-picture.
Pip is a lame feature anyway. The image is too small to add any real value. Split screen is king!
I agree, phone is way smaller than my last and with the screen being so small because of the top and bottom bezels.
If I underestanded well on some reviews, pip woarks only on pixel2 xl (for yt and all other supported apps),and not on smaller device. Google maps woarks on any phone which I had with Oreo, don't look at it

Just got my S8+ a few days ago. Playing with themes, I've a leftover keyboard skin from a previous theme. (since not all themes have keyboard or other backgrounds.)
Anyone know how to just change parts? I'd prefer a different keyboard skin.
Thanks.
I don't, but I'll tell you this - G board by Google is hands down the best keyboard out right now. And it has themes and other skinning options.
G Board Dictionary sync is broken for the s8 which is a deal breaker for me.

It is? My words all save and show up for me. "Prolly" pops right up. "I'ma" does too. I put those in my Google keyboard a long time ago and not on the s8.

Words show up when you type it but not truly sync (predictive). I have words that are saved on google servers displayed on my Pixel and doesnt come up on my S8. If you go to the keyboard option, you should see sync greyed out.
I've read this is due to the secure folder.

If you're clever with Gboard and Navbar Apps you can make a pair of images that line up to make it look like your keyboard extends all the way to the bottom of the screen. Mine don't line up perfectly, but they're close enough that I don't notice in day to day use.
I'm using the GBoard too and Navbar Apps to blend it all together.

I have noticed that when you want to exit from Facebook app from back button you can notice that the home screen do something like zoom or something...
Has anyone notice this? Is there any solution?
I only noticed this when I had a custom wallpaper set. When I use the wallpaper from themes it doesn't do it
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Hmm weird. It does it for me too, using KLWP (live wallpaper)
Happening to me too.. I'm using Backdrops wallpaper + Nova Launcher.
Hey guys I had some issues with my launcher as well when I first started playing with it.
Try this, it worked for me;
Settings > Display > Full Screen Apps
Enable your launcher

No it doesn't. You might be talking about something else. Just tried 8 other apps and the Facebook one is the only one that does it.
I'll make a video..

Also, Bautinho88, what screen recording app are you using? I tried a few and the video quality was so bad on all of them.
Like my video 3 minutes before yours

That's the one I played with the most when I got my S8+ and it didn't work well; crashed on me pretty often and wouldn't take the odd S8+ resolution. That was over a week ago but it seems there was an update since. I guess they fixed it for the S8+. It very works well now and quality is great. I paid for it, I'm glad they fixed whatever there was to fix :good:
Edit: I don't know how you managed to upload it in HD, @Bautinho88, but I've tried with 6 videos on both my phone (Resolution: WQHD+ / YouTube app) and my computer and the best quality I get is 480p60.
Weird that only happens when facebook is a desktop icon. It doesnt do it from the app drawer
On my video only 360p maximum.

I guess YouTube takes some time before showing it in HD. When I first opened your video, all HD options were there. It's now showing all HD options on my videos now. We can get back on topic now :good:
I am having the same issue. I noticed that this only started to happen couple days ago. I didn't experience this issue with the same setup when I got the phone.

Yep the icon being on the home page is the cause - WHY, I don't understand.. it's like the FB icon has some sort of weird properties that a regular icon doesn't have.. kind of creepy tbh.
I've been considering deleting FB for awhile.. may just finally be time.
Oops my bad, EDIT:
Facebook updated their app and fixed it, it's not doing it anymore. it's still not fixed.

Hi All,
I love pixel 2, I can't figure out when PIP works with Oreo, and it doesn't.
I come from Samsung GS6 world, and as much as I hated how out dated it was, PiP worked with EVERY app. all I had to do was swipe the display from corner, and it would make the app overlay. I could resize the overlay how ever I want.
I was surprised pixel 2 didn't have that feature as I always thought it was google feature, and not samsung's.
Are there anyway to make PiP for Oreo and make it work for every single app?
You can only allow it for the apps that show up here.
Settings>apps and notifications>advanced>special apps access>picture in picture
App developers need to add the ability to do pip to the app to have it show up in this list.

On pixel you invoke pip by pressing home button. You'd hate it if it did pip for all apps anyway.

On Samsung you invoke it by swiping diagonally, almost like you're changing the window size,and this worked with every single app including plex. I hate how it doesn't work on this phone.
Not taking any credit for this. I initially found it posted on reddit and was surprised to not see it here yet..
Here is the link to the Pixel 3 Camera APK.:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-6-1-009-215420794-release/
I can confirm it works on my Pixel 2. No rooting required. Just install. Updates existing camera app.
Thanks for sharing!
great, confirm working on my pixel 2, no root, updated my pixel cam app.
I found if "Pixel 2 Blurry Panorama Fix" magisk module was installed and enabled, this new camera apk would force close.
i use that link ;

Look's good but picture quality it's the same or not ?
I feel like it doesn't capture as fast
Is there any way to revert?
Turn off the motion setting. It's the setting that makes a short video and a photo.

Open the camera app information, force stop, disable and then enable.

Go to settings, applications, camera app and tap on three dots on up right corner and uninstall updates.
I'm struggling to get RAW images to open in Snapseed. No idea if this is a problem with the files being created in the Camera app, or Snapseed...
Simply sideload Pixel 3's Photos app, take a photo with Motion set to On, swipe up on the photo and you can choose other frames you want.

Unfortunately i'm not a developer myself... i'm just sharing this news. Hopefully someone else can answer your question.
Nice, ist there an apk in German also? ?
i tried following the steps in the article, even uninstalling the updates from my google photos app.
But I dont have top shot working, even the motion mode is not working on the photos.
Did it work as soon as you installed app, or did you wait for google to resync your backed up photos?

It works for my Pixel 2, but the topshot icons not working properly. If I click on the icons again, it displays normally the shots thumbnail.
Latest modded Gcam by @cstark27 (thread here) enables topshoot with just using latest photos version on the play store.
does this work on the Android Q beta 3? I am unable to get it to work. Any tips will be greatly appreciated
