I was on the verge of switching to a Google Pixel. I got one, and while the pictures are stunning, it has incredibly bad battery life and it gets hot - probably half the battery life of Moto G5 plus. Pixel also has potential motherboard issues that causes the microphone to stop working. Google got hit with class action lawsuit because of it. It doesn't feel as reliable as my Moto G5 plus.

Guess I'm going to bite the bullet and try to unlock the bootloader to see if it makes a difference. Previous stock-friendly approaches to improve camera here didn't really make any meaningful difference.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rbk281:
Maybe for stock firmware. Under Oreo ROMs I'm getting severely underexposed, color casts in images and overexposed, noisy videos. The original MOD, which has 6 fewer files, works well though so it would be interesting to know what the extra files do.

Also while going back and forth on last couple of stock 7.0 firmware builds I noticed that the autofocus was super quick (albeit jerky) in version NPNS25.137-33-11 (and presumably in builds before that). All subsequent firmware NPSS25.137-93-4 and above have had slower (but smoother) focusing. I wonder which files contain the autofocus algorithms.

Does anyone know?

I'm also unable to run GCam 4.2 32-bit or freeDcam after enabling camera2 api by making changes to build.prop. Everything FCs, even the camera2 api tester. I went through all pages of this thread and didn't find anything useful to troubleshoot this

Update: I figured it out. I had to flash stock ROM again using TWRP ( ROM downloaded from here: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3813351 ). After that flashing Magisk again brought the OS to rooted state while camera was working fine
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrhotrod:
Quick tip for some in here: enabling HAL3 on stock absolutely destroys boot time. Makes it boot for about 4x the normal time.

Just in case anyone wanted to know.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rbk281:
Ok just confirmed this using two devices:

1. For XT1685 EU model firmware versions NPSS25.137-93-4 and above have slower focusing which fails occasionally under low light. Rolling back to an Nandroid backup of NPNS25.137-33-11 fixes this issue.

2. Indian XT1686 model with firmware NPN25.137.92 does not seem to be impacted by this slow focusing. I did not try with later firmware as this device was not rooted and wouldn't be able to roll back.

Should these files be used in addition to the originals, or instead of them? Some of the files modified in the original batch are in this one, and some aren't. I'm pretty certain the .json file is unnecessary, but it probably wouldn't harm anything if someone did copy it to their system.

Is there a way to click photos from G5 plus with longer exposure (stock is just 1/3 sec and PE 9.0 ROM 1 sec max). I tried several app like camera FV 5 pro and manual camera pro but nothing worked more than 1 or 1/3 secs. Can this be done ?

Someone watching the guide here! I had a Nexus 5X and I loved the quality of the pictures! Really missing it. Now I have a moto g5 plus with Android 8.1 stock, and would like to install gcam. Which apk do you recommend, and if possible, is there any simplified guide to install it?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Shonilchi:
Thanks. But I noticed that after I applied the chromatix mod, the pictures I took looked totally washed out with the colors all dulled out. Should I be changing any options after applying the mod?

I'm no expert on exactly what the mods do, or what settings might need to be changed. I just downloaded the files and created the flashable zip.

I already enabled Camera2 API, but stayed with stock 8.1 ROM. I tried the Savitar/Defcomg one, I could install it but it crashes every time I open it. The second link is broken :crying:

Does someone knows about a stable 32 bit gcam apk? Thanks
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIronLefty:
On AOSiP and cant install 64bit gcams for some odd reason, and the ones i can install crash.

For example the 5.1 version linked at the start of the thread crashes.

After lots of hype and anticipation the Dome Glass finally went up for preorder on Amazon today (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078JR1HTN/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1TW2EEPYOB6KA&colid=348Y83I4OO9QD&psc=0). They've sent me a review unit, which just arrived on my doorstep. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous as I've never done an install like this before. I'm also a bit curious since the glass itself appears to be flat. Here are a few pics of the package contents and protector, I'll get it installed shortly and post more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
not going to lie, installation wasnt the smoothest thing in the world but its on. it did take two tries, though that is partially my fault. in the installation video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMr68wi0Rw0) at 1:30 when they pull the pin to drop the protector on the bubble nicely hits the glass and starts to spread right before they pull it. it was not quite as nice of a spread my first try, and i waited until the adhesive had gotten a bit too far down which caused some bubbles. thankfully they provide good cleaning instructions and a second bottle of adhesive. their video is way better than i could have done, but two differences are that you need to place stickers over the speaker grills and pads on the sides. the pads are really tight on the left side with the buttons, so its best to put the pad in place before the phone goes in the tray.

as for the protector itself, i think it is the best we have available for sure. it is full adhesive, and the feel is fantastic, like using the phone naked. at least initially the oleophobic coating is great and fingerprints are non-existent. of course, well have to see how that holds up over time. i dont have any touch sensitivity issues like i experienced with the various dot matrix protectors. despite being flat it does cover the entire view able display, albeit just barely. i was a bit surprised/disappointed to find that the edges werent curved and if i try i can notice the edge of the protector when swiping from the sides. that said, it doesnt effect performance at all and it probably helps the protector be more case friendly than it would be otherwise. as you can see from the pictures there are no issues with my ghostek cloak, and i think case compatibility is an issue with the gs8. i think there is the faintest hint of halo though, so time will tell if that is an issue or my eyes just looking for something wrong. there is some adhesive residue along the edges that you can see in the pictures. i cleaned it up a bit and have no worries that it will come off over time. it also looks worse in the pictures than it is in reality.

all that said, at least right now this is the best option out there. it may not be the unicorn perfect protector, but i think it checks off all the appropriate boxes and is in a completely different class than anything else on the market.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] elimli:
I don't understand how the glass could be flat. The protector either doesn't cover the screen or has "liftings" on the borders.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Krzychu23:
glass is flat, this is suspect...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
easy enough to figure out, simply lay the protector on the screen to see how it fits prior to actually installing it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
so does 2.5d mean not full screen coverage
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
the pictures show how much of the display is covered. it is not edge to edge, but it does cover the view able area
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
A *flat* dome?!? wtf...... :rolleyes:

Now I'm not disappointed that it sold out. ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
so yes, the screen protector is probably case friendly. no more worrying about the curved edges lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Zorachus:
I wish they still made phones with flat screens like the classic Nexus 6p why do they have to do the slightly curved edges?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
shows "Full coverage" with rounded coverage... yet is flat. And theyre asking for 50 for this? I'll stick with my wet apply that has actual full coverage and unlimited free replacements.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
the curved edges are cool for scrolling up and down. avoids selecting the wrong things but perhaps companies want to increase the probability of screen repairs or replacements
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jrbxx7:
For 50 bucks and flat glass ill buy 16 spartan glass. Its almost identical.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
Which screen protector is that "wet apply that has actual full coverage and unlimited free replacements"?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
IQshield or Skinomi
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
They probably have it reduced due to the issue with the s8 and note 8 not being case friendly enough.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] atan420:
How do you get free replacements from iqshield?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cdig:
write a 3* review on amazon.

hmmmm are there any other 'flat' options out there thats not $50?

I swear i had similar style flat protectors for my iphone 6 back in the day that just covered the flat part of the screen, that wasn't weird dot matrix stuff.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
I have a flat one similar to the Whitestone that I might just get 2500tp Loca and apply it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Ugh....the wait continues. For 50 bucks I expect the thing to curve perfectly over the edges with full adhesive. Not be a flat protector that really doesn't need the added headache at installation and cost. Hard pass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] antiochasylum:
I get mine tomorrow. Eager to apply and see how it is. I've been rocking an IQ Shield since launch and need a change! This rubbery feeling is horrible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Biggest 3 things I can suggest on install are, make sure the surface you're installing on is flat. Mine was slightly tilted to the side and made the glue go off center and not fill out the whole screen(I fixed it by squeegying the glue out to the edges). Also make sure to carefully give the edges of the screen protector a wipe after the first UV curing remove to excess glue before fully curing the glass. Not doing that is what's causing many people to complain about dust and lint. Also...be patient lol!:highfive:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
I had one small bubble that was near the edge. I pressed several times to squish the bubble out. But I was careful about it. Pressing to hard does cause glue to leak out. But if you gently press the glue comes back under the glass.

I haven't had any issues about excess glue on the side. Haven't had issues either peeling either and it's been almost 5 days since the install.

Pulling the pin that holds the protector up slowly will hold avoid bubbles.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I just wanted to point out another awesome thing that I love about the dome glass.....the edges are clear. One thing of why I always tried to stick with a tgsp that had colored borders is because i despise that blue/green edge on glass that has iron impurities in it. Looking at the dome in sunlight that problem is non existent.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] antiochasylum:
Delete, double post. Apologies
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] antiochasylum:
Installed mine last night. Went on flawless. Thanks for all the advice.

Those who say they "dropped the ball" with this protector is was off base. It's perfect. With my Spigen clear case there is only a 2/3mm gap.

So to those who refuse to buy because it's not curved. Keep enjoying your dot matrix or rubbery protector. I'll be enjoying my glass. ?

I found this has been available to purchase on Amazon UK, Germany, etc.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pspuser007:
Hello,

You said you have the clear case, but which of the two? Crystal shell or liquid crystal?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
If you bought the preferred warranty then the screen protector isnt worth it.

More importantly how's that midnight case? I only see people with cement and that one looks gorgeous
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
As a person who purchases warranties, it depends on how you like your phone to be. I personally like the option of changing a TGSP once or twice a year to get rid of the small micro scratches that will happen as well as get a new oleophobic layer. Same reason I use a case to change it out once it gets worn. Basically I use protective products to prevent daily wear and tear. Phone insurance is for accidents and hardware failures.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Yep...that's the way I see it as well. I've got phone insurance for breakage, device failure and loss. But that doesn't cover general wear and tear. I like my screen as scratch free and ding free as I can keep it, and as AndrasLOHF noted, the oleophobic coating DOES tend to wear off, so phone glass will wind up looking grimier after several months to a year, no matter how often you clean it. Nice to be able to keep the phone looking and feeling new. Finally, if you go to sell your phone after two years, having kept a protector on it gives you a much better chance of selling a phone with a truly like-new screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
Different strokes for different folks. It's easier right before the end of the 2 years to claim burn in then get a new phone to resell then spending 50-100 on a screen protector if you wanted to min max things financially. Realistically you shouldn't have many/any micro scratches if you take care of the phone (this is coming from someone who is notoriously known for breaking cases in less than a day and phones too). I'm beyond hard on phones and none of my screens on my 2xls had micro scratches. If it gets one oh well, rma the device [emoji1497].
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
"Claim burn in"? Wow. Just a bit cynical it seems. Not meaning to come off as "holier than thou" (I'm far from perfect), but after beating up a phone for two years, making a bogus claim to get a new one you that you can resell is the kind of practice that keeps jacking up costs for manufacturers and carriers -- all of which eventually get reflected back to consumers as higher prices. No doubt many others do this as well...if there's a loophole to save money people usually find it. Just seems a pity that people who honor the intention of a warranty wind up sharing the cost incurred by people who game the system. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
I knew that asinine comment was coming and no, warranty claims DO NOT increase this because MOST customers do not even use their warranty and if something breaks then they buy a new phone. Cost is going up due to GREED and the payment plans implemented In america. Please just stop. Also I have never rma'd any of my devices or my 5 2xl's over a micro scratch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Not sure where you get your statistics from, but if you take a look at some serious research into the industry costs related to Warranty Fraud, you'll see that it runs into several billion dollars a year (across multiple industries, of course, not just cell phones, but this gives an idea of the overall impact). See:

http://www.agmaglobal.org/About-AGMA/what-we-do/Service-Warranty-Abuse

(and there are links at the bottom of that page for white papers by both Deloitte and PwC)

So I have had my Whitestone Dome on my P2XL for about 2 weeks now. Excellent experience so far, but today I take the phone out of my pocket and see a crack on the right bottom edge.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Looks like maybe you had a small air bubble there (not from your install) my whitestone had the same issue right in the same spot but it was larger so I sent them a picture of it and got a new kit in the mail in about a week. I hope they don't try to make you do the warranty process which is take off the protector pay $15 for shipping (their charge) and mail back the protector first before they will send you a warranty. I hope they change their warranty process as it forces you to have backup protectors laying around. Good luck with yours! Not related but I didn't want to double post. For those with a white halo around if you still have a tube of loca drop some out onto a surface and use something thin and cover it the loca. You can reapply the loca around the borders to make it look a lot better and cure with the UV.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
A small air bubble caused the crack? ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Can you comment on how it feels compared to something like a dbrand Fiber skin?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
It's the thinnest case I have ever used, feels like nothing is on the phone so pretty much like a skin...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
I meant the texture of the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] BabeShaq:
I got mine yesterday and messed up the installation completely. I forgot to tilt the casing for the adhesive to go to the middle of the screen.

The result was that all the adhesive overflow on the top part of the phone. I removed the glass and it somehow came off with the sticker that was protecting the speaker. A good chunk of glue got in the grill and I didn't noticed that at first.

I also failed to clean the glass itself from the remaining adhesive. It was oily and dirty with some dust on it... Tried to make it as clean as possible, but final result was far from perfect.

I was frustrated and a bit hopeless at the moment. So i reapplied the glass fast and careless... Well it still came out to be flawless. I see no sign of traped dust under it, no air bubbles, great alignment.

The last and the biggest problem was the sound from the top speaker. It became very harsh and quiet. Luckily all i needed to do was blowing air (through my lips :D) directly to the grill. A lovely solution.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I've had one on for at least a couple months now. Got the car mount too. Texture is almost like a silicone or rubber. Not slippery but not tacky. Much less slippery than the MNML case or fabric case I have. I have 7 cases and Pitaka has been on all but one or two days since I got it. Definitely not much protection but it's worth the risk to me. I have insurance and the phone feels better in my hand without a thicker case.
