Hey guys.
how do i change device info so it mimics a pixel so google photos app thinks i have a pixel and gives me unlimited full resolution storage?
That service/option has been undone by Google so no need to invest the effort.

Try this module but don't forget to uninstall it after your back up finish or it may make some apps get errors. Through it you can only get unlimited compression storage on google photo. I think you can also get unlimited original photos storage by edit the props to pixel xl or pixel.

I mean you should back up only your have a lot photos like 2GB or more. Or you can just store them in your local host and till you capture a lot of photos , then your should do a back up on Google photos by flashing this module

Is there any solution with MIUI EEA stable version without root?
If not, what methods can we follow to have google free space?

Don't try any of these methods of spoofing your phone to look like a Pixel phone for Google Photos. I tried it and they do not work. EVEN if the Google Photos app says you are a Pixel phone and gives you free storage option, if you see your actual Google storage, it will be used up! It won't actually be free storage.

yeah agreed. It should be baked into the ROM, since any root won't work.
yes,unfortunately this doesn't work,it says it works,but in reality it counts towards your google drive storage

What do you mean Gapps are required and why is that bad
Ive tried it, it works ok, but theres a few google apps that arent in the zip, that have to be in system or privapp, i think that is what he means
Yeah i tested it on OnePlus 5t most of the stuff is working.
Good just for accent color and notification style
Many of its features not working and don't know why
I used it on Stock Pie rom, makes the phone a whole lot more usable. But I'd suggest you to use the slim version, the full version makes Photos app recognize your phone as a Pixel device which is not xD Therefore caused me some backup issues back then. Slim works great though ( On Pie )

You get rounded corners and Google Call Screening (which didn't work properly last time I tried) also Google's sound picker in settings (which also crashes lol). Maybe some other stuff too I'm not sure. Oh also your device identifies as Pixel again and Photos app shows a message that you had unlimited storage on cloud but your time has passed so you can only store images/vids at high quality (same as Full package of Pix3lify - doesn't mess the Photos app either in full or in slim package, sorry for the confusion). I love rounded corners myself but don't love it as much as rooting and not being able to get updates (although we still don't get updates, thanks Xiaomi ) So I just install Google Sounds apk from apkmirror and use unrooted stock ROM right now. Cheers.

I did look at that review page but it is dated. At least one of the apps is not to be found in the Play Store etc. I also did not find AOD that you referred to?
I find the absence of the LED frustrating and am curious which of the - many - available apps in the Play Store readers use? There also seems to be some issues with privacy for at least some of these apps which is not reassuring.
Google quietly discontinued Daydream VR with the Pixel 4. If you have an existing Daydream VR viewer, it's useless with your Pixel 4. Fortunately, with root, we can re-enable support. While Daydream VR and phone-based VR in general are dying out, you can still use existing services like YouTube VR and other VR apps.
How to Install
Flash the Magisk Module attached to this thread and reboot.
Install Daydream from APKMirror.
Install Daydream Keyboard from APKMirror.
Note: If you don't hear any audio in Daydream, try running the following command in a rooted shell:
Code:
setprop persist.audio.vr.enable true
My Magisk Module should have already set this value, though.
Thanks, I was looking into getting one of those for YT, so I appreciate it!
Thats awesome thank you. And its nice thats its still a Pixel 4 in settings and not changed to Pixel 1 like other modules do.

Yeah, I wasn't satisfied with how a bunch of other modules were adding so much unnecessary stuff. This has just the bare minimum needed to get it working.
this works great! I can't use google photos though
Works great, thanks!
Anyone else notice there seems to be pixel ghosting? My original Pixel XL seemed to have hard time rendering smoothly, however movement had text semi readable, when still it was good.
However on my Pixel 4 XL, even slight movement makes text a blurry mess. Anyone know if this is an issue with display technology, or if it is a setting to fix?
I already tried:
force 90hz via developer settings
disable battery optimization for VR services, Daydream, Daydream Keyboard, and "Basic Daydream"... not sure what that last one is, but figured worth trying to disable battery optimization for that too, but no change, still blurry text at even very slight movement.
I appreciate this sharing
Thank you for this. Who in the world would have thought Google would discontinue this on their new phone!!
Anyone else having issues or know of a fix with apps closing when trying to load them in Daydream?
Thank you ! Is this specific to Pixel 4 or can I try to apply it on different phones ?
My sister will get a Xiaomi Mi 9 lite during holidays for example, would that have a chance to be usable ?
Ok, I rooted my phone, installed the magisk module, and the the daydream app and keyboard. However, when I put my phone in the headset, it still gives me an error message of "incompatible phone". What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I had it fixed for a while, but I'm just now uploading it. The problem was that the module template was outdated, so I used MishaalRahman's file, changed the module template to the updated one, and repackaged it. And it works like a charm now, on all updates, including Jan and Feb. Anyway, just download the module attached to this post, and remember to install Daydream and the Daydream Keyboard(those links can be found on the first post).
Hello looking for help as I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried downloading the code on only wifi and only mobile data and I still get the api error. I'm not running any add blockers.
Using magisk canary.
I just came here to post this exact question and you beat me to it. I'm having the same issue, but I did verify that SafetyNet passes using another app from the play store, so the issue seems specific to magisk.

What's the other app? As long as it's passing I guess that's all that really matters.

Oh well, that looks bad. May switch to iPhone if that's the case. Pixel phones lack performance and other Android phones have a quite bad software experience in comparison, oneplus included.
My plan was to switch to a pixel rom soon to have the best of both worlds like I did with previous OnePlus phones as well. Now I may not be able to do that without losing many features. Thanks Google!

Per the link above, this is just an issue with Magisk app's API key, and the dev already has a fix. No reason to do anything drastic like switching to iPhone.
