Weird. After rebooting many times, I can still use the new AI magic editor, best take, video audio eraser, etc.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lssong99:
Then consider yourself lucky.... Maybe it's also because I used (then uninstalled) Pixelify...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mikepopo99:
Yeah my solution for now is disable auto back of my photos and disable the unlimited backup trick. So I can keep the editing features. And once a week just enable it and let everything backup for free and disable it again.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Yeah....it's been established -- at least when I was first implementing it on my Pixel 7 Pro back in December -- running Pixelify on an actual Pixel phones can wreck a lot of Pixel features.....there are numerous instances that I've helped some members from that forum attempt to get this running but permanently glitching/wrecking Pixel features because of running the main branch of Pixelify. I mean, it sort of makes sense, being Pixelify is meant to bring certain Pixel features to non-Pixel phones, so running those same protocol processes on a phone that already has those features will probably cause a lot of bugs/glitches/incompatibilities. It's why I always suggest

against

running that module on a Pixel. The modules solely for the unlimited backup at full quality hack is different as it only modifies one feature and that's only really to spoof Google Photos app (Pixelify GPhotos actually gives an option to enable the spoofing elsewhere in the ROM, but I won't go into that).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
I stumbled upon this thread and got excited. I still have several of the original Pixels, but it's too much of a pain to use them as an upload broker. This, I thought, is nirvana! After reading the posts, however, I think the moral of the story is to suck it up and buy cloud space from Google. They get us again!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Honestly, if you do have access to a bunch of original Pixels, that is a legitimate way of achieving (through something called SyncThing) what we're all bypassing and "cheating" doing through modules/spoofing...it's discussed in the thread where you can find the posts below...

But, in any case, as long as you don't install the main branch original Pixelify on a Pixel phone, I think you're safe/good. I usually suggest BaltiApps Pixelify GPhotos or what seems to be suggested (another branch off one of them, maybe?) rushiranpise's Pixelify Google Photos -- I myself use BaltiApps Pixelify GPhotos with perfect success.

Also a warning to all of you in this thread -- as I always make this known, in case it hasn't been considered by members/readers --
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Santi3598:
How is it possible that I'm the only lucky one to run it without compromises? I know it's a weird question but it just doesn't click to me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] billyt1:
It's working for me. Don't know if the new features are working. But only feature I'm looking for is free photo backup

Edit::magic ai working
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
I still don't understand if it's safe or not to use this module and not loosing the AI features.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] danw_oz:
I have installed, had to use lsposed zygisk version 1.9.2(7024) because I was using zygisk already. and so long as you have the latest pixelify at the time of writing 4.1 the 8pro features remain, any prior version no. Tested this morning with a 1.3GB video upload and no change to my usage data
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lssong99:
I used same setup like you. However as long as you clear data of GPhoto then the AI features is lost. I need to disable Pixelify module then AI feature will comeback after clear data of GPhoto. What's worse, Google VPN will be disabled if Pixelify enabled.

With BaltiApps Pixelify GPhotos, It's same as Pixelify but only affect GPhoto.

Currently I only enable BaltiApps Pixelify GPhotos when needed.

Most of time I just use real Pixel XL (I have 2) to do upload (it's very slow, tho...)

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
Is it slow because of your upload speed or is the PXL just slow?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lssong99:
PXL is slow... Photos needs to be scanned by PXL before upload. This is why I own two PXL so I could parallel to the process...

One way to force PXL to scan the photo is using slide show. Once all photo are scanned upload will begin. (Something partial scan also works...)

Uding Pixelify on P6P, the upload speed is 10x faster with same connection.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
Wow, big difference. Why does the PXL need to scan the photos? I presume you have verified that they do not alter the photos? I can't imagine the latency with uploading large videos.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lssong99:
Both PXL and P6P, P8P need scan photo. PXL is pretty slow in this process and P6/P8 is very quick...

Not sure it's pure HW or HW+SW issue... Could be both.

Once scanned, real "network uploading" speed seems more close (maybe 2x difference). The total process takes a lot of time on PXL (I something let my 2 PXLs run overnight for 1000 picture/videos upload.)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] danw_oz:
I didn't need to clear anything in google photos, just forces closed and reboot.

Yeah nice I also have kept my Pixel XL for this purpose if things changed. Interesting that it is that much slower, because the specs of this phone should happily saturate most internet connections.

Not sure why anyone would need to use another when the one being discussed works 100%, this appears to be a very young development.

Sorry for the excess posting, I have no idea why these didn't end up in the same post, when I was editing the original.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I was involved in a discussion/thread where they use the Pixel XL as well for this purpose... do you use the app SyncThing as well?

In any case, I'm confirming as previously stated, i use BaltiApps GPhotos and am able to have all Google Photos features while also using BaltiApps GPhotos....on the Pixel 7 Pro A13 though...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] danw_oz:
I have been experimenting as well because I have never used this before.

Uploading my drone photos and videos with this mod, still counted against my storage. Then I removed DJI from the front of each file and replaced with PXL and booom uploaded again and now doesn't count towards my quota

I have been able to achieve the same by removing an author and copyright or editing software tags out of the exif of DSLR files as well
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kellybrf:
another vote for getting an og pixel and using syncthing. I've been doing this since the p6p and it works extremely well. bought a cheap pxl on eBay which needs to be plugged in at all times, but no big deal since it's simply a photo backup device. have a profile set for both my wife and it works just fine to back both of our photos/videos up at full res with no data usage
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] dr_rick13:
team, quick question re: Photos on the P8P - when I take a picture and edit to 'enhance', it only gives me the option to 'save copy'

I tried the same on my P7P on the same pic taken and it allows me to just save without having a duplicate.

Do you all know if there's a setting that needs to be changed or this is just the new way going forward?

Checked Photos/Camera settings and couldnt find anything.

Thanks, everyone
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JamesChicagoIL:
That's frustrating! I'd suggest checking your Google One subscription, as unlimited backup might be linked to that now. Google made some changes recently, and it could be affecting your setup. Make sure you're still on the free plan for Google Photos. If that doesn't help, reaching out to Google support might be your best bet.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JamesChicagoIL:
It looks like the 'enhance' feature on the P8P might be designed to 'save a copy' as a precaution to keep your original photo intact. It's a bit different from the P7P, but it's a safer approach. You can delete the unenhanced version when you're sure you're happy with the edit. Keep an eye out for updates in case things change.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mikepopo99:
So I figured it out. Using Pixelify GPhotos vs 4.1 works. It doesn't show as unlimited backup in the drop-down menu but when you select the video or picture you take shows as This item doesn't take up space in your account storage. And all my editing features like magic eraser work.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] efkosk:
Does Best take a magic eraser work with this module? For me it disappeared after installation :(

and I can't get it back even after uninstalling the module, clear cache and storage of camera and photos:(
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Maybe try "uninstall updates" for Photos, launch it, let it load, then update it to the latest from the Play Store...?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Spookymyo:
Something to be aware of for the unlimited backup. If you change settings or phones, or if Google patches something you could loose photos. This happened to me. I had way more photos than my 100gb limit. I had to send my phone in for RMA. And when I got the new phone back and set it back up tons of my pics were gone from google photos and it showed that I had 100gb of storage not unlimited.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
that is why I got the 2TB option yesterday, hopefully stupid Google offers 500GB/1TB options in the future as I only use over 200GB atm.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Just for clarification on this exact wording for anyone reading, this module

does not

make/allow you to have more than you're paid limit (making your "storage...unlimited"); it allows you to upload photos that do not take up space on your storage limit.

Although I don't see how/why Google would remove your photos from their servers just because your phone got RMA'd.....I'm thinking you were under the impression they were uploading to your Google Photos/One account, but since you hit your limit, it wasn't really; but you just thought they were because they were being displayed in the Google Photos (which is how the app should work; it displays photos & videos on your phone regardless of whether they are both in the cloud servers or only on your phone)....

I think the only way to really know is to go through every single photo/video and see at the bottom the disclaimer "doesn't count against storage"...

Hi guys,

I saw that the latest version of the Xiaomi Camera V5 bring an overhaul of the app itself and will be packed with miui 15, however I was curious to try so I've manually updated it only to find a message saying "version is for a different device camera will shutdown".

Did anyone managed to update to the new app or do we necessarily need magisk and some modules to do that?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] eclipsek20:
There is no MIUI 15 as of today on this phone, so no one will bother with such things. I wouldn't worry too much about a reskin. The camera app will not work because (from my understanding) it hooks directly with native drivers.

[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] vulcanrvn:
Hello,

Anyone else that has upgraded to A12 notice how their audio sounds different? Ever since I updated anytime I play music that has mild bass, the audio gets real quiet until the bass is over then becomes loud again.

This only happens when using the built in speakers and not over Bluetooth.

Also I am rooted and have Viper4android installed and working fine aside from the above mentioned issue. That said I have also noticed that on A11, I could make the audio much much louder by increasing the playback gain, but now it will only play to a certain level then it starts to "quiet itself", almost as if something is managing the playback volume.

I've already tried different apps, using different playback codes, methods and all that. I've tested without Viper4android or anything else and still have the same issue.

I've also disabled USB audio routing in developer settings and under Media transcoding settings, I have enable transcoding turned on.

Any ideas or tips before I rollback to A11?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Miks Terleckis:
Before you post a comment, keep in mind that my Redmi Note 11 has been rooted through magisk, as well as it has custom ROM, xiaomi.eu to be specific, I've also bypassed safetynet on that phone.

Hello XDA Forums, I have been trying to connect my Redmi Note 11 to my Samung Galaxy Watch 6 through the wearables app for half a day now, I will try to describe what happens when I try to connect my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 to my Redmi Note 11.

I connect my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 with my Redmi Note 11 via bluetooth, after that, I log into my samsung account on my phone, and then I continue with the steps, but when the setup gets to the preparing watch section, it gets stuck at 80 - 90% (usually 85%), after which it then redirects to searching for devices again.

I've given all the needed apps for connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 all the permissions possible, even special ones at that, I've even followed tutorials from this forum, I've tried pretty much everything, yet nothing helps, my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 connects to my old phone, aka Redmi 9C just fine, yet it refuses to connect to my Redmi Note 11 threw the wearables app like my current phone is some kind of a looser, I don't want to factory reset my phone, just to find out it didn't work, I need some help about this situation yall, I don't want a 350 euro pebble sitting on my table, just because of a software bug...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Miks Terleckis:
UPDATE: just factory reset my Redmi Note 11, and tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 to my Redmi Note 11, and it fixed the problem, guess I was wrong afterall, I will keep this thread alive tho, in case anyone else has the same problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Miks Terleckis:
UPDATE: I just found out what causes the problem, whatever you do, DO NOT RESET YOUR GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES DATA AFTER YOUR WATCH HAS BEEN PAIRED WITH YOUR PHONE, it will make you unable to connect your watch to your phone until you have factory reset your phone and your watch, this is the second time I've had to factory reset my phone this day, and the 6th time I've had to reset my watch, the reason I was resetting my google play services data was to bypass the safetynet, if you want to bypass safetynet on a phone that has a watch paired to it, then find a different solution that doesn't involve resetting google play services data.

I've sorted this out, dropbox is better for storing the installation bundles (because dropbox has direct links that my installer can download via InetC::get, and also I'd rather avoid putting too many large files onto XDA since that's probably not a great thing for their servers). I will add the installer once it's complete (probably will be a few days since I'm still fixing a few bugs).

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] ParoXysm2k:
Hi,

I really tried to stick to all the guides, TWRP installed just fine, format Data and Wipe partitions eventually was successful, too.

But when i try to flash my GSI's .img (i.e. lineage-20.0-20230815-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN.img), i have the problems that:

In TWRP: I have no option to select System (or System Image) as destination, just 'Super' (which what i read in other threads is wrong and corrupts all the partitions in it like system, system_ext etc.)

Using fastboot method (from TWRP boot into fastboot), I get the heroic error message Writing 'system' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory') - so he can't see a 'system' partition remotely (on the tablet), too.

I saw this error in some of the threads but never any way to fix it.

So, to my naive understanding, my device seems to be partitioned according to the 'Super' scheme, but for some reason that is not compatible with the flashing options via TWRP or Fastboot described here.

PS: When I look into one of my stock AP .tar files (e.g. AP_X200XXU3CWI3....), I also see only a super.img, but no system.img. Is this a clue or completely irrelevant?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] ParoXysm2k:
Nevermind. I tried everything again and it magically worked.

(Flash stock CWG2 via Odin, then flash @MrFluffyOven's newest CWG2 TWRP via Odin, boot to TWRP, Format Data, Wipe to factory settings ("just swipe"), Boot to fastboot.

Now, the device was mysteriously flashable via "fastboot flash system system.img" and "fastboot flash recovery CWG2-recovery.img". Strange, but it worked.

As i quickly experienced LOS 20 to be constantly rebooting, i'm now using LOS 19.1 and i'm happy :)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
After flashing LOS 20, did you type "multidisabler" from the TWRP terminal? That should fix the rebooting issue.

Today I flashed my s10e with cruel kernel using TWRP and after trying to troubleshoot for 2 hours, I couldn't fix it. I tried booting into recovery mode by holding power and volume down then switching to volume up, Bixby and power but nothing, just back into black screen of death. All I can do is get it to the Samsung logo and then it goes black again, I got it into download mode once then thought it was no big deal and I could restart the phone from there but after restarting the phone I was back to the black screen and haven't been able to get back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
You might have bricked your phone. This can happen if something goes wrong during the flashing process, especially with Custom Kernels.

Try reflashing the stock ROM. This will overwrite the custom kernel and restore your phone to its factory settings.

You can also use a tool like Odin to unbrick your phone.
