Um, I think we have that option on PN 7.0 atm. At least last night I was looking at the settings of my photo album and had that option.
It shows in the attachment. But I am not sure if it truly is unlimited storage.

that is unlimited but the images that get uploaded is not on 'original' quality, instead it uploads 'compressed' version of the picture. Pixel is the only one with unlimited storage on 'original' quality.
For me it detects that my phone is pixel, and syncing original quality photos, but it is taking my drive space, and i can't change it to "high quality (compressed)".

Yes, but its eating up my drive space
It must be combination of build.prop and meta data in photos...
My friend, u can get the unlimited storage for photos in any Android devices or any Android versions or roms!!!!!, it just depends on the quality of photo backup sync that u choose, if u choose the original quality you will have only the rest of the original free storage that google gave u (15g) but if u choose to back up only with the high quality instead of the original quality you will get the unlimited free storage automaticaly!!!!

Yeah but that's not what he was asking for. He's asking about the possibility of unlimited original quality like the Pixel but on our 5X.

any updates on this one?
I use pixel rom
it's can upload full resolution free.
I've been an Android user all my life, but never have I seen this feature. I booted up my Pixel 3 XL for the first and it said I can copy/restore all my apps/data/calls/logs/sms from my old phone into my Pixel by using a USB cable. No backup needed, no sync needed, just plug and go. I've never seen this option before. This worked flawlessly.
What is this feature? How do I get it to my other non-Pixel Android phones?
It will copy over your app data/photos/sms/ but it won't actually transfer the apps. You still have to download them from the Play Store. I believe this is done to insure integrity of the apps.
It has been available since the 1st Pixel as well.
It's a game changer for sure. I use the cloud restore option. It restores everything (including launcher layout) then reinstalls all of your apps. I only found maybe 25% of my apps didn't have their data restored. Makes doing a factory reset a simple procedure.

Going from Pixel XL to Pixel 3 XL, it copied the apps, didn't have to download any of them. Though this may only be a feature between Pixel devices.

Copied mine from Moto Z Force 1st Gen, but wouldn't transfer anything from LG G6 on my second device
Copied most everything from my note 8. There were a few things left over, mostly media files. But it did a good job, better than I ever expected it to.
I too was super impressed with how well it did. Heck it pulled over many of my settings too.

I'll be doing exactly the same thing
It copied all of my apps that are on the playstore but any other apps it refused to copy, and even some older apps that haven't been updated on the playstore didn't work properly. Way better than nothing!

It actually didn't copy your apps. It redownloaded them and set them up as you had them set up...and copied the related data.
So yeah, non-playstore apps won't make it.

This is correct, that's why it takes a while to finish restoring the data after you unplug the cable. Everything downloads in the background from the play store.
I was wondering if it were at all possible to have Gpay with MicroG services using Magisk hide etc?
I have a Pixel 3XL and recently Lineage was released for the device, I would like to switch to that OS.
Any input is helpful, thanks.

When i see reports about privacy issues with Google pay, I don't think microG will make a significant difference.
If I ever get forced to pay with my telephone, i will buy an iPhone.
I'll never use an iPhone, I tried, it's terrible.
You could go to a Samsung phone instead, they have their own secure payment services.
So re my question, is it possible?

Just rooted my Pixel 6 pro and was trying to find a way to get unlimited Google Photos storage but none of the methods I used before work on this device. Does anyone know how I can get the unlimited storage (or if it's even possible).
* I tried the props editor method which did not work as the props that I needed to edit did not exist (or maybe its different)
* The other method where you place a nexus file in the root directory was not possible as the root directory was full, even after deleting some system apps.
UPDATE - The pixelify magisk module is the solution (thanks taanh1412 !)
Use the Pixelify Magisk module
Are you nuts? You need to PROTECT your data from gooble, not give them more!

They probably know more about me than I know about myself already, how much more could they possible learn?
Also I cannot live without the facial grouping now, it's way too useful

I thought all Google Pixel phones get unlimited Google Photos? Or do you lose that feature when you root?

Unfortunately only the devices up to the pixel 5 have unlimited storage, from the pixel 5a they stopped giving unlimited storage.

Magic Eraser is available with Google One subscription on all devices (including non-Pixels). No need for anything else.
Unlimited Original Quality backup is available ONLY on Pixel 1 (the 1st Pixel). The others until Pixel 5 get unlimited storage at 'Storage Saver' quality.

Yes I understand it.
I flashed Pixelify and have now Unlimited Original Quality on my Pixel 7 Pro. And I have Google One subscription, which in theory should provide the Magic Eraser, but this does not happen. I my GPhotos app is version 6.34, so it up to date.

May be they are rolling out this (server side) feature in a phased manner. You'll have to wait for sometime before it shows up on your device.

No problem, you can even flash just the submodule for "Unlimited Photos", as rest of the features are already present on Pixel 6/7(pro)

You are right. I had to wait few hours and the Magic Eraser appeared in the "Tools" section. On the other hand there is no "Unlbur" so, the former must be related wit Google One subscription, as spoofing as Pixel 1 gives unlimited backup but as a trade off disables newer Pixels features.
