Here is the version I am using. P3v7p1_GoogleCamera. It's awesome! Go for it and you won't regret. It's fully working and it's made specificly for Pixels

I am using pixel 1 xl

Here is what I have come to prefer, it works only if you are rooted or can edit the following file in any other way. Go into /system/build.prop and change the following,
ro.product.model=Pixel XL to ro.product.model=Pixel 3 XL
ro.product.name=marlin to ro.product.name=crosshatch (2 instances)
This way you get all feature of Pixel 3 and the camera app updates via playstore.

I was asking which camera port firesword14 is using, because he only said "Here is what I have come to prefer..." and then says to change the build prop, but he never says which camera he is using.

So which port works best on pixel one

Brother, I am using Pixel 1 XL and I already told you which one works best and fully works. Also, It's made specifically for our device. Believe you won't find any better. I have tried them all.

Can you please share a direct link from where I can download

[app][no root][marshmallow&above] pixel dialer

Guess I got to get this post started. The GOOGLE PIXEL DIALER FOR ANY ANDROID RUNNING MARSHMALLOW AND ABOVE WITH NO ROOT!!!!
So you install the APK I have posted below and then you can enjoy the Pixel dialer.
Now the In-call UI is green as reported by many users. I have found the solution to it but it only works on Aosp based ROMs and maybe someother ROMs too. So you go to Settings>Sim Card>Tap on Sim 1 or 2 depending on which you use to call with. Then tap color and then choose the default blue if you want the stock look. I am personally using Red.
So here are the list of bugs:
Caller ID not working
Places search not working in many countries of Asia
Application freezes while interacting with settings.
Current release is based on version: 5.1.131226882
After the application is installed, set it as the default dialer and disable (if available) your old dialer.
Tested and working on:
Moto G4 Play
Meizu M2 Note
Micromax A106 Unite 2
Moto Z Play
Sony Xperia X Compact
Samsung Galaxy A7
Samsung Note 7 ( it exploded ?)
So here is the download link:

Noticed many posts about the Pixel Dialer for other phones. Thought I should get it to other devices too but without root.
Kinda easy to get the whole thing together, extract the APK and then patch it.
He's like yo dawg I heard you like the pixel dialer... So I put a pixel dialer in your pixel dialer so you can dial while you dial.

This dialer is amazing. Buttery smooth and the visual style.. as if Google themselves made it. I don't think I want to live in a world where I can't use this dialer on my pixel.
Can you port the Pixel camera too? You would be a god if you got it to work!

Google Camera Mod - Portrait mode enabled and working!

Original post by Charles_I: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3477980
https://chromloop.com/2017/12/apk-enable-portrait-mode-nexus-5x6p-og-pixel-phone-google-camera-mod/
Camera NX V7.3 is a Google Camera mod, which is modified to unlock most of the exclusive features of Pixel 2 for Nexus 2015 and original Pixel phones. with this updated version, you can get the Portrait mode working with Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixel 2016 phones, which was the last Pixel 2’s exclusive feature.
Portrait mode was the most wanted feature for Nexus and Pixel 2016 users. I have considered that Portrait mode is a hardware limiting feature, it requires a special type of image data called PD (Pixel detector?) to enable Portrait mode, but some said Portrait mode can be active with front camera, I began to thinking that this feature should be able to work in software way which we can force to enable it on other phones. Turns out, Google uses PD data to calculate portrait effect on the Back lens while use software method on the Front lens.
We need the camera.experiment2017 library to active the Pixel 2 exclusive functions. thanks to the*Apk changer, the first tool which can deodex the Android 8.1 odex files. I force to enable the PD data model in the camera.experiment2017 library, which is telling camera app to enable Portrait mode. Portrait mode will replace the Lens-blur mode in the menu, it provides the face-retouching feature on both front and back camera, and it needs a human face to do the portrait effect job, it will take two burst photos, one is normal ZSL HDR+ photos, the other is applied the portrait effect. if no human face shows up, you will get one normal photo.
https://chromloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Portrait-mode-on-Nexus-5X-with-Camera-NX-mod.png
Camera NX V7.3 is based on Google Camera 5.1.016, why not the latest 5.1.018 version? because they are the same app with different version numbers. I decide to disable the Google photos combination, as it has the black screen issue, though this issue can be solved by totally replace the original Google camera in the system, it needs the same signature and provider name. I also remove the Help and Feedback in settings, and disable the silence feedback service, to make the app launching a little faster.
The new version was tested on my Nexus 5X, should work on Nexus 6P and Pixel 2016 phones too. I will also provide the modified AR Sticker and AR Core app for Nexus 5X/6P, you can use it without change phone model or add files to the system, you can use other AR sticker mod if you like. I was thinking AR Core is still in beta status, bugs like upside down photo on Nexus 5X, too many things need to be fixed in the future, so no need to make it perfect at this moment.

Maybe.. I don't know, but it should work on +7.1. Here working perfect on stock Oreo
Edit: It works only on Oreo
It may convince me to finally make the jump from 7.1.1, does this eliminate the need for phone tilting for background blur now?

Yes it does.
It works exactly like the Pixel 2 camera. Just select Portrait mode and shoot. It also works like a charm with the front camera.
very good results! I am impressed! Thanks for sharing.
I was able to overcome parsing error by using APK editor Pro and changing the SDK version back to 25.
App installs, but hangs every time I launch.
Help would be great

Even better if you can tell us the way you did it.

[Q] Camera symbol in Google Messages

I have a pixel 2 for work and a pixel 2XL for personal use. They are both using the same version of Google's Messages. However, my pixel 2 has the new camera icon next to the + symbol where you would write your text. My pixel 2xl still only has the + symbol next to where you text. Anyone know if it is a setting I need to change or if one phone got a update pushed on Google's side? Picture shows what I am talking about circled in red.

Funny enough I have it on custom roms but on stock it would not trigger.

That's crazy. And you've got the latest version of Messages that's on APK Mirror?

I was thinking I was the only one that still does not have it. Crazy!
I connected to pixel support through settings and the technician had me screen share and went through a lot of things like checking in safe mode, Android build version, app settings and other things. He was not sure why my messages app is not updated properly. He ended up having me send a feedback report and said they would be looking into it.
Well time will tell .
I had it on my stock pixel 2 XL then I lost it when I flashed a rom. When I flashed back a month later to stock I got it back. I tried everything I could think of while I was running a custom rom to get it back with no luck.

I have the camera icon now after a clean flash on stock. Every other month (depending on features, patches, etc.) I make it a priority to do a complete wipe of the device. It's tedious and some may see it as redundant, but in my experience since the days of the G1, it keeps everything running smooth.
