tldr; looks like the first release of Android 14 does not include USB webcam support

In several posts (theverge , 9to5google, ) I read that the new Android 14 firmware for Pixel devices would include a 'webcam' option once we update to Android 14.

On my pixel 7 pro, when I go under the 'Charging this device via USB' menu, I do not see the 'webcam' option. The host is a Windows 11 device, and the Pixel 7 Pro is running the latest firmware: 14.0.0 (UP1A.231005.007, Oct 2023)

Has anyone else had success finding the webcam option?

Or maybe this was something in the Android 14 beta that didn't make it to the final firmware release?

Update: looks like maybe I answered my own question while researching this post:

If you visit https://www.android.com/android-14/ and then expand the bottom zippie 'Are there more features that come with Android 14?' it says, 'You can

soon

use your Android phone as a beautiful webcam on a video call simply by connecting a USB cable between your Android phone and any Windows, MacOS or Chrome OS computers.' with a footnote 'Available on compatible devices in available countries

coming soon

.' Emphasis is mine.

I guess this means that the current firmware doesn't support it. I'll leave this post here so that anyone else searching can save themselves the time and wonder.

If anyone knows of any modifications we can do to enable it early without switching to a beta firmware, please do share.

Btw, it's included in the QPR1 b2. I saw the option yesterday though I didn't have the time to try it

Here's a silly question, on the screenshot for the SP Flash tool you have preloader, recovery, vbmeta etc. etc. pointing at a downloaded ROM. How do you know where to point each individual section?

You shall not underestimate yourself.

Have a nice day.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lastbutnotleast:
Do you maybe know what can cause this?

After clicking X it shows success but in at the end SP Flash always stuck at DA 100%. Disabling auth works because it shows success but your solution in FAQ doesn't work.

Any idea what can be wrong?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mvikrant97:
Once you click on X it shall successfully add filter for Meditek drivers.

Make sure you are quickly adding filter before the timer runs out.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lastbutnotleast:
It installed them correctly after few tries but still i got stuck on 100% DA.

Deviced is active and visible in device manager section as Mediatek USB Port under COM3

Any idea what can be wrong?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mvikrant97:
Use firmware upgrade option in SP flash tool to flash
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lastbutnotleast:
It's not working either. I tried Firmware Upgrade, Download Only, USB, UART. There is C0010001 error which i'm familiar with. It happened also with hard bricked Redmi Note 9 which i unbricked after 2 months of tries.

I tried restarting PC, reinstalling drivers, disabling auth again, removing driver from libusb and installing it again. Nothing works.

Device doesn't respond to anything, it doesn't bootloop. When connected to PC it's visible under device manager and its diode is on. No reaction to long press power button or any other combination.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mvikrant97:
I'll need to check it remotely to why it's not working then.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lastbutnotleast:
I managed to did whole process with success. I had to change Fastboot ROM from GLOBAL to EEA. I don't know why because it had GLOBAL one but hey, who cares right? :)

I did it with 12.5.15.0
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mvikrant97:
You followed the video?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lastbutnotleast:
No, i haven't watched the video. Just found one solution of different forum where someone said: I changed to different rom and it worked.

So i just did and it's now working device with MIUI 12.5.15.0

Hi,

Seems like there's a Trojan on the download, Defender won't let me even see it, instantly goes away. Did anyone else experience this? Looking into it online it's not just a false positive and I wouldn't want to compromise this PC if at all possible...

Its not a trojan. Its just a false alarm.

If you feel unsafe about it then don't download it.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll probably download it on a cleaner laptop just to feel better :D Doing it on a my work-laptop is not a good idea in all prospects :)

Hello guys,

I'm currently on the latest A13 on my P5.

As far as I heard, the A14 update is the last official update the P5 will receive. There also won't be any more security updates according to Google for this phone.

Since I'm pretty happy with A13 on this phone, I was wondering if I should really update to A14, consindering the phone won't receive any more updates or patches in case anything is still buggy with this (first and apparently also last stable) release.

I would love to hear some opinions from you guys running A14 on your P5. Btw, I'm currently rooted.

Thank you in advance!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlb134:
I've switched to pixel experience ROM to keep my p5 up to date.

But I'd also like to hear about people's A14 experience.

P6 and p7 owners are very happy with thermals and battery improvements...
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rofiiqyla:
I updated one of my p5 to A14 yesterday and very happy with that. I do feel that the phone runs cooler compared to my other p5 on A13. Haven't found any stability issue, i think the camera quality is slightly worse on the A14 one (not sure if updating to a14 or just hardware variation made them different, i have never compare the camera on both of them before).
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krsmqn:
I won't update until there's a (confirmed) working Magisk.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Michael1200:
In the magisk thread, badabing2003 claimed that magisk works with A14.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
Magisk itself shouldn't be a problem with 14 but modules incompatible with 14 might be. My Pixel 5 running Magisk stable and a couple basic modules upgraded smoothly with PixelFlasher and runs fine.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] roweboat56:
i had a weird glitch and had to factory reset my device... decided to try android 14 (was on 13). and the subtle changes they've made is honestly worth the update (monochrome theme finally!).

I use a number of magisk modules (such as full screen immersion & youtube revanced) and seeing no issues. Also nova launcher beta 8 works flawlessly.

If you're on the fence, i'd say go for it!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlb134:
Good to hear about Nova! Multitasking and app switching is janky on A13. Also animations suck when opening apps, especially from dock.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Michael1200:
I now have also updated to A14 (I even dirty flashed from A13 with magisk) and I am very happy with it so far. The phone feels snappier and I have not noticed any (new) bugs. I can recommend the update, albeit it being the last official one.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kmry:
I sideload the full image and later rooted and installed magical, all working great except that Whatsapp search ability was lost, other than that, phone runs cooler.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitwashere:
My battery used to easily last a day and a half on A13. Since moving to A14 I run out of battery in about 20 hrs including sleep time.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Note: I have been using this for 3 years
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CherryRook:
How to root Pixel 5 with Android 14? Is it still patch the boot.img with Magisk and flash via fastboot?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
That's pretty much it, but always best to revisit the guides, plus PixelFlasher threads are always informative even if you prefer the command line. One piece of advice is making sure 13 isn't still on one slot while 14 occupies the other. e.g., When upgrading from 13 to 14 I flashed with patched boot.img (to the inactive slot) twice.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AntiCheatBot:
I've noticed a few glitches such as keyboard not appearing when entering wifi password (SwiftKey). Also the battery life feels like it's a bit worse, but not sure yet. I think I'm going back to lineageos.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CherryRook:
Thank you! So you mean I have to flash my patch boot.img twice so it works on different slots?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
If you haven't rooted yet, just install 14 twice and then root. I don't think it's necessary to flash your patched boot.img twice. The main thing is fully replacing 13 with 14.

Normally the next OTA update would replace what's on the inactive slot. But, unfortunately, no more updates for Pixel 5. So you'll need to install 14 twice to get rid of 13. You want the same Android 14 boot partition on both slots.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CherryRook:
I was updated via OTA from 13 to 14. "Install 14 twice", does that mean I have to flash it in TWRP or something else manually, then flash boot.img? My root was invalid since I OTAed.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] roweboat56:
if i recall correctly, the flashing process has been the same since at least android 11. So simply get the full firmware from google's website https://developers.google.com/android/images, get the boot.img, load it to the phone via USB, patch it with magisk, then transfer it back to PC, flash the boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and you'll be good to go. [no need to worry about the A/B partition nonsense... it's all handled automatically by magisk, thank god lol)

Frankly I've never had good luck doing OTA updates... always caused issues over the years. esp since everything is stored on the cloud these days, easier to just factory reset and do a fresh flash.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] All Day On XDA:
Same here, battery life is significantly worse.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
Wrong. An update was released today. I thought October was the end of the road for Pixel 5.

Maybe November will help people having battery issues. No complaints for me, battery with 14 seems no worse than 13.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devnikolus:
Well the update released today is just some big fixes. No November security patch for us. Either way its better than nothing.

Edit: Although it did not mention it in the update summary. The update indeed bumps the security patch to November. Sorry for the confusion.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] All Day On XDA:
Latest update 'feels' smoother and so far seems better on the battery. Still early days
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] manuski:
Anyone notice the camera still on in the notification bar hanging around after some time?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DON2003:
anyone notice old game (or app) cannot be installed after the latest update?

or its just me?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlb134:
I've noticed my signal worsen.

Seems to go to H+ all the time now where as before, I'd never see H, just 4G or 5G.

UK, smarty.

Battery may seem a little worse too but I've only had installed for a week. Hopefully will improve.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stayboogy_Officially:
You can't flash a rooted boot.img and it be working without disabling verity verification in the vbmeta and vbmeta_system partitions.

the process for rooting ALL OTAs IS EXACTLY THE SAME--already install magisk and patch your boot.img before you do the rest of this:

install magisk and patch you boot.img and copy to computer

find the OTA vbmeta.img and the vbmeta_system.img, then boot to bootloader and:

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot flash boot patched-boot.img

then you need to reboot to recovery and wipe all your data...YOU CANNOT GET AROUND THIS IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SET YOUR DEVICE UP. Therefore, I would do all this at install time.

Follow my tutorial here, except for the twrp steps, disregard that for A14, but the rooting process is EXACTLY THE SAME.

Hello guys,

Since the release of the Galaxy Z Flip5, I saw that custom widgets are now allowed on the cover screen, seems like Samsung got rid of their app whitelist and now any app can register a cover screen widget. So, due to the lack of widgets on the store, I decided to make a simple base for people to create their own widgets as of there is no documentation anywhere on how to do it.

The project is open source and available on GitHub:

GitHub - revoverflow/flipbase: A base Android application for Z Flip5 custom cover screen widgets

A base Android application for Z Flip5 custom cover screen widgets - revoverflow/flipbase

I hope this helps someone out there...

Can you create widget that will be proxy/wrapper for any other installed widget in the system?

It will be the best app for cover screens

Anybody tried it? I just must replace all this files using root explorer and 160 bandwidth will work or not?

[OnePlus 11] kpirnie:
You wont be able to "replace" the files. Android made this impossible once you are beyond what? Android 11?

What you can do is create a magisk module, and probably do this... i personally dont see a need for it, so I wont.

Hi my router Asus ROG GT-98 enabled wifi 2.4g,5g-1,5g-2,6g works well "wifi7 icon on phone" except 6GHz band, I try modify all files in this tutorial but still no see 6GHz AP.View attachment 6044172View attachment 6044173
[OnePlus 11] omernart:
the bad news is, don't waste your time, because 6GHz is off (CPH2447IN/CPH2449EU-GLO/ROW)

# operating band

# 0 - 2.4 GHz band

# 1 - 5 GHz band

OxygenOS 14

when I checked, the 6GHz settings still haven't been updated. In short, they did not open it in android 14 version.

I asked my friends from this forum about the vendor/etc /wifi files in the 2451NA OOS14 software. thanks to the file he shared, we saw that it was turned off again around 6GHz. Oneplus no longer explained the 6GHz problem .

The OnePlus 12 promotional brochures were careful to say that there is now a 2.4GHz / 5GHz "wifi 7" feature and that there are 160 Bandwidth

in question..

"" the new channel width generally means Wi-Fi 7 can double the base speed, from 1.2Gbps per stream (160MHz) to 2.4Gbps per stream (320MHz)""

Really Bandwidth 320 is a fairy tale, so we already know this from the 80-band 1200Mbps limit on the Oneplus 11

If you are interested, there is also information on the subject at this link. If you reach him, you can ask him how he got to 6GHz. I am sharing the attached picture.

[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
My phone, cph2451 connects using 160mhz on wifi6(5ghz). Works great. I am definitely not limited to 1200Mbps. In the picture below you can see a partial screenshot from my router. My phone is running over 1200Mbps and at 160Mhz.
[OnePlus 11] omernart:
Our version is unfortunately OO14 CPH2449GLO router (bandwith160 )and max 1200mbps on my router wifi6e.

# channel width

# 0 - HT20

# 1 - HT40MINUS

# 2 - HT40PLUS

# 3 - HT40

id_0_channel_width=0

id_1_channel_width=2

#id_2_channel_width=0

This is the information from your CPH2451NA phone.

If the picture you shared is router wifi7, the router you set normally sends 1450mbps, 160Mhz broadcast, the last value that Oneplus 11 can reach is 80Mhz.

So maybe having wifi7 increases the data speed.

oneplus2451 could you please send me a screenshot of that screen. please.
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
I think the problem you are likely having is DFS. this kicks routers off certain channels if they detect radar so it makes using 160Mhz very hard. I have made some modifications to my router to keep using 160mhz. Make sure your router is using 160Mhz if you want a valid test. It does not list 160Mhz in my wifi files but my phone is definitely connected to my router at 160mhz using wifi 6(AX).

I also see your router is connected to another router(Asus). My router connects to my second router at around 4000Mbps. You may need a faster router?
