Hey guys,
Recently bought a Pixel 1 phone when the announcement of unlimited Google photos was brought up.
My thoughts was I'd use it as a device to upload photos taken on my other camera's .
After using the device, I've taken quite a liking to it given how light it is.
My question is.
If I install TWRP and a custom rom - will Google photos still treat 'uploading' as if I was on a stock pixel phone and not count the upload to my Google account quota?
Thanks.
I got the same question. Does anyone know?
So I installed Lineage OS 17.1 with GAPS on my Pixel 1 XL, and after downloading Google Photos from the play-store, the Photos app has a message stating "...back up from you Pixel 3 device in Original quality are free and unlimited until February 1, 2022."
Pixel 3 ??? How does that happen?
Does anyone else experience this?

Check what your props.xml is set to, it MIGHT just be getting it from there?

Where would I find that file, and is it easy to change it?
Thanks.

This has some useful info on it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-edit-build-prop-on-any-android-device.1948558/
But basically install an app like this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en&gl=US
And spit out here what's in the build prop file and we'll see if there's any tell-tale signs of what's causing it to come up as a GP3
@kzrussian how'd you go?

I'm not rooted yet...
I guess I'll have to root and try it. I was just surprised that the official Lineage OS for the Pixel 1 XL is set to mimic a Pixel 3 - or maybe this is a bug.
So would this same method of changing the props.xml file to Pixel 1 work on a Pixel 4A and allow for unlimited photo storage?
Is it possible to root and keep the stock android 10 + unlimitted google photos?

that's the million dollar question isn't it!
Android 11 and unlimited uploads is where I'd like to be!
Phew, glad I saw this thread. I, too got a used Pixel 1 for unlimited original photo storage (I had a Pixel 1 XL when it came out but no longer). My plan was to install Lineage after I saw this comment on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/942cq8/_/e3hsbsw
But I'm glad I saw this thread! I'll keep it on stock for now
Hello. this is one of the top options while searching on Google for this question, so I figured I'd share my findings with you.
The short answer is that yes, it does support unlimited uploads. You're probably better off not installing opengapps though, as that will make Google treat your device as a Pixel 3. Install Aurora Store and then install Google Photos from that and it should Just Work™.

I am wondering if the Google Pixel Buds will be fully functional with the S8+? Specifically the real time translation function. It looks like it only requires a Bluetooth connection and google assistant installed so I would assume it will work with phones other than the Pixel 2. I wouldn't put it past Google to lock it to their flagship device. Anyone know anything?
I'm sure I read the real time translation would work with any device running Nougat and above.

Only Pixel and Pixel 2 will work with that. Everything else works on all modern Android phones.

Bummer
Got a source for that? I can't find anything to suggest the translation will/won't work with non pixel devices.

"¹The Google Assistant on Google Pixel Buds is only available on Android and requires an Assistant-enabled Android device and data connection. Data rates may apply. For available Assistant languages and minimum requirements go to g.co/pixelbuds/help. Requires a Google Account for full access to features. Google Translate on Google Pixel Buds is only available on Pixel."
From here: https://store.google.com/product/google_pixel_buds
Thanks all. Hopefully this is something that they back track on and allow it to be used on other devices.
Until then.... anyone know of someone who might be planning on porting it to the S8? I know its a bit soon.
As many have heard or experienced, the stock Razer camera sucks. The Google Camera Port is awesome but does anyone know the optimal setting for the Razer phone? Those options are complex and I have no idea about really any of them.

I haven't tried that TBH. I just use the internal storage.
Here you go
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/....20_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk
That apk based off google camera 4.4 modified by B-S-G .
I had issues with recent 5.x update so do recomend just stick with 4.4
does it make any difference at all between the stock and this google camera?
it's the only thing keeping me from buying this awesome phone , that is the camera of course.
cheers !

Hey guys, I installed the Pixel camera app and immediately I noticed an improvement. The Razer camera seems to have a lag to it when moving it to different objects to take a photo. The Google app eliminated that. It's very smooth. Also, I noticed using the Google apk the photos don't look as grainy.
I can't wait for Razer to make improvements to the camera. It has potential. I will continue to experiment with this Google apk.

Hey guys, here's that link to the video comparison if you want to see it.
Google pixel camera apk on Razer phone.
Proves Razer's camera has potential!
The video compares the camera of the Pixel 2 XL to the camera of the Razer.
The video does not show the Razer phone using two different apps.

My friend, watch it again. He specifically says it's the Razer phone using the Pixel 2 XL ported camera app.
I think I actually prefer razer cam, the colour have a better depth and overall contrast - still dreaming of root and camera2 api for RAW capability, this phone will be a dream when that day comes!

When the lumia 1520 came out it was so horrible I stopped using the camera. Took a few months but they fixed the app, camera is still amazing even with the new phones coming out.
This is one area they're focusing on, they remarked they wanted to at least get basic functionality down, which you have to give them props on, Jan-Nov and they get a concept to market, and it doesn't suck. lol
Coming from years of Sony phones I have to say this is quite the piece of kit. Thoroughly enjoying audio and video. The camera is quite bad but I can wait for a fix.
Cool, right off the bat I can take pictures of text on my monitor without it going fuzzy like the pre-update camera app. Anyone care to try post-update razer camera app to take a pic of a website on their monitor? Does it go fuzzy?
i need the pixel camera to save to external sd card - is there a modded apk which offers this option?
obviously the reason it doesnt have that option off the bat is because the pixel does not have a micro sd slot

It should prompt you that's weird.
Anyway try launching the camera via the lockscreen see if that prompts you to change the default

Yes, I wanted to post links to XDA but the threads here keep changing and do not want to confuse newbies. And I also wanted to share the files I used personally (not a newer version or a previous version).
I understand!
But root is already assuming a risk, rendering the device more weak to virus and bad stuff.
Root using files and apk re-uploaded by someone is his personals google drive even riskier. Who assure me and other possible users the apk/other file dont have spyware or other bad stuff injected?
This at least is what i know (but im newbie).
I mistake?

The phone is not even available to buy yet and yes I am sure a pet will be done if technically possible
I'm taking a wild guess here... But I think it needs to be released first..band after that they also have to release source code aswell ...band my third wild guess is this will happen without your request,because developers are curious of how they can make it work.. oh..also .... They might just port hardware into our devices.. because that's what they do..
But what do I know.. I'm just guessing.
How much time?
How much time(approx) will it take to port Google pixel 3 camera for OnePlus 6. I am so excited to use pixel 3 camera port with depth control ?.

Jokes on you if you think that those Lposed modules don't break anything on a PIXEL device. (talking about PIXELIFY modules). Not the unlimited storage for Gphotos.
DevCheck will give you that since its based on what code your running....
