To use as a Google Photos hub - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have loved it since it was first released.
I'm not currently using it, but would like to use it as an uploader to Google Photos.
I've been using it for many years, so I want to mount the NAS directly considering the storage load.
About 8 years ago I used root to mount it on my tablet, but now it doesn't seem to work.
The magisk module was also a broken link.
(I didn't understand rclone-mount because the information was confusing.)
Do you have a simple application or Magisk module?

Spotify Connecticut without premium?

A few weeks ago, seemingly without any reason, Spotify Connect started working on my rooted Oneplus One running stock COS 12.1. I have the normal Spotify app from the Play Store installed. I had previously installed an Xposed module which enables tablet mode in the app on a smartphone, but have since reinstalled my OS, wiping all installed apps. I have not reinstalled the Xposed module since, but tablet mode continued to be enabled on the reinstalled Spotify app. Then, as stated in the beginning, Connect suddenly started working as well. I can now remotely control other devices logged in to the same Spotify account, while the reverse is not the case, since I don't have an active premium subscription. A second smartphone, which received a similar treatment from me, does not have that capability.
So my question is, is there any known way to reliably get Spotify Connect to work on non-premium accounts using the apk directly from the play store? I would like to have this on other devices as well.
You would have to sideload a .APK for Spotify which can support this feature without Premium, (yes they do exist) since the .APK from the Play Store is the raw data of the app which means that you need to get premium for these features.

Google's ARcore not working on my OnePlus 6

I downloaded ARcore from google playstore today along with some sample apps using ARcore but each one just keeps searching for planes. I have never seen a single blue dot or anything resembling the fact that it is actually working. The apps load, they just don't see any surface.
Does anyone experience this?
I'm running latest update (ONEPLUS A6003_22_180614) and I have been unable to find ANY INFO on this issue.
Please, if you have any information or similar experience help me out here cause I'm really lost.
Thanks in advance.
How did you download it from Google store if its not officially supported?
I tried installing it today but all apps using ARcore crash for some reason.
Glad u posted this as I'm not able to start threads yet.
I too can't seem to find compatible software to use this.
I side loaded it a couple days ago. The link is in the article in news feed
As soon as I seen the information about google's Measure app came out, I went and installed ARCore and Measure, and it worked perfectly. So maybe there are a lot of apps that don't work with this phone yet?
As a note: I'm on the latest update (5.1.8) with root. Didn't modify the camera app.
There has to be a compatible gcam built for oneplus 6 to use arcore and stickers. What did you think you were just going to use it with the stock oneplus cam? LMFAO!!
Measure does work with the stock cam
Well then how does it work? I have no idea how to use it or what it requires and I've seen people using it on OP6 be it sideloaded before it was suppoted or from google playstore (It is on playstore, I can download it no problem it is supported since few days ago it's all over the internet)
Do you need a special hardware cam to connect to it for it to work?
What do you mean gcam built specifically for oneplus 6?
I thought you only need the ARcore app and then one of the apps that take advantage of it like "just a line".
The apps load well but it isn't scanning anything.
Thanks for replies.
EDIT: Guys, it now works, I tried to download aforementioned Google Measure and IT WORKS finally and now all of the other apps work as well. Thank you for replies I would have not been able to resolve this issue without your suggestions. Thank you.
SOLVED
I installed ARCore from APK Mirror. Then 2 days ago when I saw the Measure app was out, I went to install it from the Play Store. It showed as Not compatible. Looked again yesterday and it said it was compatible. Installed it. Runs as a seperate app. No change to my stock camera
What else is working well?
Most apps I saw were buggy for other phones.
Jurassic Park is cool, if u like Dino's walking around your house
I can't seem to get measure to work I've downloaded arcore and Google measure but nothing seems to happen when I open the measure app it keeps telling me just to move my hand back and forth across the scene but there's no measurement, what did you guys do to solve?
For Google measure, I just open the app, aim my camera at what I want to measure, then a dot matrix appears on the area. Drag the length or width icon from the bottom to measure.
Qlone works good of you want to make 3d images of things around your house
Best way to get any of the apps to work is to scan a newspaper which is on a table or your bed if it has a pattern design sheet on top. The apps do not recognise plain surfaces properly.

Which camera? Which mod?
my op6 also had the problem of no automatic surface scanning. I tried installing google measure but it didn't helped. Finally, after rebooting the phone i managed to use it. So try to reboot your device if you have the same problem
After andoid p beta 2 arcore works fine.. was able to download from play store and played around for a while.. seems to be good..

AirAudio on Pixel - what is Service S-off?

I have used the app AirAudio on several Android phones in the the past. I use it for sending system audio to AirPlay devices.
I now have a Pixel, 1st. gen. It’s rooted with Magisk and everything seems OK. When I install the app, it keeps asking for reboot. I see there’s a tip on turning S-OFF for HTC phones. The Pixel is built by HTC.. I have no idea what that is and I have tried to search, but I find nothing on S-OFF for the Pixel. Does the Pixel have the option to set service s-off?
Anyone else using AirAudio on the Pixel and give me some pointers on what to do?
Hey there,
AirAudio has been kicked by Google because they didn't like a link to a rooting-website inside the description anymore, written 7 years ago.
Its successor is called AirMusic and allows to stream some apps (eg. YouTube, YT Music, Deezer, PodcastAddict , radio.de, Plex and more, you have to try it out) without root on Android 10+.
On rooted devices, all audio can be transmitted.
To get around such issues like reboot required every time, please contact its developer for support.

VERIZON ELLIPSIS 7 8GB QMV7A - custom roms?

Trying to convert this old tablet into an e-reader and was wondering if a custom lightweight ROM was a possibility. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm also looking for any rom for this thing, surprised that nobody else has done anything with it since the device can be rooted.
Same also trying to turn it into an ereader
I have one. I'd love to get an Android 5 custom ROM for it since that's likely to be the best it could handle. Barring that, I'd like to root it and remove obsolete system apps (like hangouts, Google+ and other things Google has killed off) and install updated Play Store and other needed apps as system apps so they're permanent to survive restores.
What's especially needed is a file manager as a system app! First Android device I've seen that doesn't have one.

Question Google Photos alternative, with faces/objects recognition on the phone (not cloud).

Hello
I'm looking for a gallery app, that can recognize faces and objects, without needing to enable cloud backup like Google Photos.
I have too many photos and don't want to pay extra storage on google one.
On my previous OnePlus 5, everything was local, and that was enough, and misses me.
I tried to install every manufacturer gallery app (OnePlus, Oppo, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei...) but none can be installed or is working (probably due to dependencies / external libraries...).
So do you know a great third-party gallery app that can do that locally ?
Thanks.
Probably not what you want but you can install the xmlpak Magisk module, it'll allow you to download and install vendor apps from other manufacturers, no guarantee of it working tho.
Interesting module, I didn't know, thanks.
But I had tried by downloading APKs directly, so it won't help...
The Huawei gallery is really good (I prefer it to Google photos) and offers facial recognition too but I cant get the APK working on my Pixel 7 pro. It has some great build it photo edit options too & a decent video editor. If anyone knows of a way to get it working i'd be really keen to know.
