[Nexus 6P Android Development] AndrewM3:
yeah you can look back there was some discussion. To summarize you can't have original quality uploads like pixel in photos and hdr + now. So the workaround is to go to buildprop and edit ro.product.manufacturer= from Google to Huawei save and reboot then you have hdr+ and when you upload photos switch back to google then you can have both.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] landcruiserguy:
Thanks for the reply. I realize I can change back and forth but not sure if I am loosing any photo quality by not having the HDR+ in the settings. Any insight into that is appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
A single person has claimed you can have both by switching the build prop line back and forth and offered non existent proof that he is correct. As far as I know nobody else has verified that this actually works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
It's inaccurate.

And what do you mean back and forth mean any way?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] king3opobn:
Just so that y'all know, this ROM is working great. I use opencamera for hdr and raw photos, works good!

I can't get substratum to work. I applied swift dark and a navbar from navigate. After reboot, nothing is applied.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tropical cactus:
Working for me. Switch off backup and sync. Edit buildprop to huawei and reboot. HDR+ back in camera app. Take photos for a week. Edit buildprop again to Google, reboot, backup photos. After that, switch off backup and sync and repeat process. My Google drive for photos has not increased and backed up photos show both photo and storage size as the same.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] russian392:
I just value HDR+ over back ups. Anything good I always move to my PC and edit the cause a core i7 processes much faster

stop bull****ing plz...

please stop speaking about tweaks you don't understand

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Did you choose the correct ROM from the drop down menu within Swift Dark before applying your tweaks? I'm using Swift Dark without any issues. The one time I forgot to do that nothing was applied.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] king3opobn:
Did you choose pixel for this one?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I read your post when you originally made it. I follow this thread and to the best of my knowledge nobody else has confirmed that the tweak you are using worked for them the way you claim it works for you. I understand what you are doing perfectly but if you use your computer to copy a bunch of photos taken with a digital camera to a Pixel and then upload those photos to Google you don't get unlimited original quality storage for them without it counting against your storage. That feature is only for photos and vids actually made with the Pixel. If what you do works fine but nobody else has confirmed that it does so far. Unless I missed the post where somebody did.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
you're wrong

plz stop posting about this particular feature, you don't help people here
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Look, NOBODY has been able to show proof (recreatable) that you can have BOTH HDR+ & Unlimited Original Quality backups at the SAME time. As of the time of my comment here, it still hasn't been done.

However, I believe, with my own testing, that you CAN switch back and forth to be able to use both features, but requires that build.prop edit to work each time.

Keep it civil in here.

[MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION], I forgot to tell you, I figured out why your Busybox and SuperSU zips fail to flash on 3.0.3-x (I presume official and unofficial but I only test on mine). You need to change this

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "sh",

to

run_program("/sbin/sh",

I had to change that for my Magisk zip: https://github.com/Flash-ROM/build/commit/cebf2aa32a5f6b8103e0a6e8b196c19e4ab3f0a6
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Thanks [MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION], all is sum in your post.

We can't have both at the same time

but

We can use HDR+ and unlimited original storage : it requires a

build.prop edit + reboot

each time
[Nexus 6P Android Development] king3opobn:
You can have both at the same time using opencamera.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
If I'm wrong then I'm wrong but it's pretty amazing that Google Photos can be hacked so easily and that they can't tell the difference between a photo taken on a Nexus 6P and a Pixel. And I'm sure Google will never take action against people who are stealing cloud storage from them because Google is just cool like that.

An urban legend? Lol. Chill. I don't think Google is worried at all if there is a hack for its unlimited storage. It would be a drop in the ocean in the android OS world. The average Joe would be completely clueless. We're just having a bit of fun here. All hacks and ports are technically theft. If you're uncomfortable with that, there's always stock.

You are correct, my sincere aplogies to sunny
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
No problem at all guys, enjoy the ROM and use the hack ONLY if you want to !!

I'm ok with this 'semi auto' hack, personnaly, since i use it, i can backup (and access from everywhere) all my 4K videos and full res. 4Mb photos... for free (my google photos storage has stop growing) :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Yeah iv seen some say not to use it bec its ' stealing ' ahhhhh come on, I'd have to disagree, sorry. If google cared that much about it, they would fix it, but they aren't, and they aren't suspending accounts either, a few have also said that, still haven't seen any proof. Again, if google cared, they'd do something.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
It really is a LOT easier to just connect your phone to your computer and copy your files to and from it that way. Much faster, and I prefer to have my files on my local hardware then "in the cloud". Plus, every time you want to watch a video or look at a picture, you'd have to download all of its contents first. HUGE amount of time, and data, just for something simple.

I got the 128GB version of the 6P just to eliminate the need to constantly free up storage space. I still have over 40GB free, and TONS of stuff on my phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tropical cactus:
Yeah, we're just spoilt for choice with this ROM. Lol. You can backup to cloud or computer. No big deal, really. We're just here for a bit of fun. Thanks again for the ROM, chevycam94.:D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
You're right, personnaly, I LOVE google photos (and google drive) for 2 reasons :

- ability and quality of their sharing feature (at full quality) family and friend can watch my photos and videos thru their iOS / Android app or desktop webapp

- ability to backup a 2nd copy of all my files (i also backup everything on an external hard drive not connected to internet)

believe me, only 1 backup is NOT enough ;)

of course... totally agree, but you know, there's always some guys telling stories that to frighten weak spirit :D:D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
So you have a specific procedure to backing up 2 of everything or do you manually do it? Just always curious about others and how they go about using something/an app or anything different than how I do it.

Thanks

Or they could be trolls working for Google. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Really simple, nexus 6P backup everything automatically once a week (i also set the auto backup option while charging only) and i connect the phone to laptop and backup to external HD

To automate the process, you can set up things like NAS drives at home (NAS can auto backup things from your google drive, photos or anything else...), and with RAID 1 (mirroring) you can sleep well ^^
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
After flashing cortex, photos in Google+ open very slowly. This a ROM issue or app issue?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
It's likely recreating a new thumbnail database for the new ROM install. It only needs to do that once for each photo/video per ROM install. They'll open much faster after that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] godzulu:
Not sure how to make this go away. I'm on a clean install, everything is working but on each reboot I get this pop-up. Do anyone have any ideas? Thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Google isn't doing anything now. That doesn't mean they won't in the future. Cloud space is physical drive space that costs money to maintain and operate. If you remember Microsoft changed their policies regarding cloud storage. You think Google is never going to change theirs? If enough people abuse Google's policies they will eventually crack down.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] tropical cactus:
Guys, just need someone to confirm. After changing build prop to Google, reboot and turning on back up and sync, photos get uploaded but info in Google drive is back to before i.e. 0.KB. Space used hasn't changed. Unlimited storage seems to have stopped working.:(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
There is a zip floating around somewhere which specifically removes the tinted nav bar. I think it's in one of those Google assistant package mod threads. Just gotta make sure its updated to match the correct version of Cortex.

There's also a way to remove it by flashing the Weta extras zip, only problem with that is not only will it remove the tinted nav bar but is will also removed the filled in white nav bar buttons and return it back to the stock ones. At the time I used it, I didnt care tho, those nav buttons were fine. What's also cool, there's center clock options n that same zip. Just so long as you're on a stock based ROM, which is what Cortex is, Obv. Hope this helps.

Chevy, if you dont like talk of other Roms in your thread, please delete this post, don't want to disrespect. I know every Dev is different.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Nah, you're good. As long as it's not "download this ROM instead of Cortex". But if parts of another one help mine, sure, that's OK.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm likely going to make the next version based on N4F26O, and not NUF26K which is "verizon only". That way there is more compatibility with other carriers. Not sure whats so special about 26K, but I doubt its enough to outweigh the compatibility with other carriers. What do you guys think?

I'm downloading both factory images right now, just in case.

On my current build (4.00) I dont have any issues with voicemail coming through. I'll test out the 26O build, and see how it behaves. I'd LIKE to build off of the 7.1.2 beta, but for whatever reason, its taking way too long for Google to push out an image for the 6P.

Also, as an added bonus, I got permission from Fransisco Franco to include a modified version of his Simple Reboot app in my ROM. I changed the look a bit to match the stock experience better, cleaned up a bit of code, and removed his link in the top of the menu. Will get changed a little more before the ROM release.

At least now people will have access to all the reboot functions, not just Reboot/Shutdown.
