I wanted to access the raw capacitive data on the pixel 3a phone. I found a link to someone who was able to do it on a Nexus 5 phone using a kernel they developed. I am unable to post the link as I am a new user, but the details can be found if you google "Accessing the Raw Data of Capacitive Touchscreens on Commodity Smartphones"
But I wanted to know if there was a way to obtain the raw capacitive data for a Pixel 3a phone using the Nexus 5 kernel? or is there some other way to do this on a Pixel 3a phone?
Thanks

Did HTC U11 have camera ai chip like google pixel 2?
no
and it is not really that big
yet the pixel 2's chip is not activated yet
we are yet to see wether it's worth it
Same CPU like pixel 2 have u11. I'm thinking it's software business
For U11 the answer is no. We will need to wait for someone who disassemble U11+ bcoz it was indeed the original Pixel 2 XL and may contain the Google Camera ISP chip hidden in it so we might have chance to port the google software for it.
Quick question,
Has there been any talk about porting the pixel 3a camera to other phones?
Since the 3a doesn't have an extra processor dedicated to photo processing like then normal pixels (2 & 3) then, I would imagine, it would be easier to Port. Right?
Am I way off base here? I'm just curious.
Thanks

Rico, I was using a PE Rom (Pixel Experience) on a Moto G5 Plus prior to getting an actual Pixel 3a, and was able to do several of the camera software features that are available on the 3a using the camera app that is available in that rom.
Hi there, I've upgraded to the pixel 3a from my old Nexus 5 and am really missing the face unlock feature. Would there be anyway of adding it to the pixel 3a? Any help would be appreciated
there is a module that works for it.

Good afternoon,
I'm sure as many of us are aware that as of June 1st 2021, Google photos is going to start imposing a limit on non pixel phones for the uploads of photographs and videos. I currently have A32 5g phone which I recently acquired from T-Mobile. I also have a fully functional pixel 3A XL. I'm going to start using the A32 5G as my daily driver. I was wondering if there was a way for me to take photos on the a32 and bypass the Google photos limit. One thought I had in mind was to take the pictures on the A32, and then transfer them over to the pixel 3A, and then have the pixel 3A upload the images to the Google photos. First of all, would that work? or would the metadata notify google photos and impose the limit since it was not taken on pixel 3a? If it would work, would would be the best way to go about it? Resillo sync comes to mind at this time. I would ratherNOT Root the a32 5g if possible. Dont want to brick a new phone by accident. Thank you for your advice.

Your current photos will not count towards 15GB free storage.

Also bricking your phone due to this, makes no sernse, sounds like science fiction to me personally. No offense
I don't know, maybe start using alternative cloud solutions like eg. nextcloud for this?
Also... A32 5G to Pixel? Wouldn't solution be to download all photos on device storage/sdcard, then reupload using new Pixel to make sure new higher GB limit for Pixels apply?
Sorry, let me clarify. I have a pixel 3a xl, and i have a A32 5G. I would like to use the A32 5G and upload pics to google photos somehow (AFTER June 1) so that it does not start counting in my storage limit. Yes, I am thinking that kind of solution downloading/transfering form A32 5G to pixel and upload from pixel. (Pixel has no SD Card slot).

I have answered my own question.
I like to use phones with LineageOS without Gapps because I don't want Google to have even more data from me.
Ironically the Google Pixel 4a seems to be my best option for a new phone regarding my other specifications (small, good camera, not too expensive) and there is a LineageOS custom rom for it that should work without Gapps.
But I'm worried about data security because Google is the manufacturer...
Any advice on that?
I think you'll be fine. The software is key component. Any hardware based spying won't be limited to the Pixel 4A because they don't use any custom hardware.
I too arrived at the 4a for all the same reasons as you. It is a nice compact phone and of high quality.
