Unlimited Storage for Google Photos DP2 - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was anyone able to get unlimited storage after flashing open gapps on DP2 ?
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Are you on a pixel xl? If so, just FYI this is the 6p forum.
Edit: sorry, your sig just threw me off. Guessing you did a build prop tweak so the XDA app thought you were running a pixel. My apologies.

Thanks for your reply.
I know this is 6P forums and my question is for the 6P.
There is no DP for Pixel

unlimited storage? are you talking about photos? wasn't it always unlimited storage for high res and limited for full res (unless you're pixel owners, then full res is unlimited as well)

Works with the zip here, at least it gave the typical Pixel "unlimited storage" line on mine. However I wiped and reverted back to a nandroid I had of PN as I couldn't get the live wallpapers to work on DP2. Got them working on DP1 a while back but no dice for me on DP2.
EDIT: Looks like in that latest pages (pg. 84) OP has posted a possible fix for the live wallpapers...I might try it.
EDIT 2: Confirmed the above does fix the live wallpaper selector issues.

He means unlimited for videos and photos even in 4k, only owners of the pixel/xl have this form Google

You're welcome, thank the OP in that post lol. Just be careful with it as I've read some reports of although the app "sees" it, Google's end doesn't and so photo uploads will count against your Google drive storage. So far I haven't personally seen that, but I would keep an eye on it none-the-less.

Anybody have word on what exactly triggers the photos app to give you the full size backups? Build prop tweak is apparently not enough. Wondering if it's an easy fix

Converting Nexus 6P into Google Pixel XL

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to convert the Nexus 6P to the Google Pixel XL with official OTA support and everything. I remember when you could do that on the HTC One M8, you could convert a Verizon Variant to a T-Mobile or Google Play edition. Is there anyway to do this on a Nexus 6P ?

The two devices are different as it comes to hardware. I am not sure you want to try and flash a Pixel OS on your 6P.
Oh I see what your saying. Because the HTC One M8 used the same hardware across all the different versions it was easy to just convert the software from one variant to another, but that can't be done on the 6P because it is different hardware.....okay, what about somehow copying the hardware drivers from the pixel OS on the 6P and tweaking it for official OTA support ?

Why would you wanna port drivers from Pixel to 6P when you have a separate branch of drivers specific for the 6P?
We've already taken all that's new and good at the Pixel and port it to the 6P. Launcher , icons, google assistant.
I see no reason to disguise our beloved 6P as a fake Pixel.
Having a Pixel OTA on a 6P sound a little bit too risky to me, not to mention not worth the hassle.

Would you take the risk of flashing Pixel OTA on your Nexus 6P in order to get a round Camera Icon ?
Personally i simply look for the more important stuff. True I wouldn't say no to Pixel icons if I could.
You'll never transform a Huyndai in a Nissan GTR using stickers on it ....

You just need the framework-res.apk from the Pixel XL. It's in one of the Pixel flashable zips here on the 6P forums (I think it was one of the threads in General)

Framework-res.apk is a critical part of the OS and is housed in /system/framework/, so it definitely can't be sideloaded.
You need to adb push it in recovery, since the system is not mounted as root for adb in newer Android versions. Then set permissions to 644 (rw--r-r). Or alternatively if you're rooted you can copy it there manually (make a backup of the original!) in a file explorer, remembering again to set permissions.

If you care much about the round Pixel icons then you can install Nova launcher and Pixel icons Pack-Nougat free from play store.

Why not just the Beta program as I did for my Pixel C and will be doing it for the 6P. The performance of the Pixel C improved a few percent on the Antutu after going from 7 to 7.1.1

Totally not possible to get Pixel software on a 6p and still get OTA updates. The OTA's have kernels, bootloaders, recoveries, and vendors for the Pixel. You can port the software after each update some way but not get direct software for the Pixel on a 6p.
Okay then, is there a way to make a fully stock pixel OS ROM, with everything working that is working on the pixel XL on the 6P ? Like with the moves, the round icons, the assistant, the live wallpapers, the launcher, the camera, everything ? And keep it updated as a new version comes out with Google updating it ? That's what I want to do. I understand now you cannot convert the Nexus 6P to a Pixel because of hardware. So what about somehow making the Nexus 6P completely a Pixel XL as far as software goes ? I have seen the posts where there are all the different ports for the pixel, and all the apps and features to a degree working on the 6P. So what about someone taking all of those things and baking them into a ROM that's completely Pixel ? I would do it, but I honestly don't know how to make ROMs.

Moves wont work as it requires specific fingerprint reader to recognize swipe action. 6p sensor cant do that. And all the rest is already ported. Flash 7.1dev preview, and a few zip files, youll get pixel camera, google assistant, and other stuff. Flash full aroma open gapps, and you will also get unlimitted online storage for your photos in original quality. All in one package wont come for some time for sure, as we still dont have 7.1, only dev preview

I am sure some developer can port most of the Pixel features but some are hardware dependent. As stated above I do not think the fingerprint gestures would port.
I guess only time will tell.

Pixel XL 128GB : Random freezing/reboot issue

Hey Everyone,
This thread is only meant for people with the Pixel XL 128 GB. It has been observed many people are facing random freezes/reboots with device. The culprit could be the storage that has been provided with your phone. This thread is not providing any solution for the problem(sorry about that), however, it would be great if you can mention the Storage Manufacturer of your phone here, just so that a pattern could be recognized. Mine was Toshiba 128GB.
To check the storage manufacturer, please go to the bootloader(fastboot) mode. It is mentioned on that screen.
For more details please go to my original thread regarding my Pixel XL 128GB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/disappointed-google-t3516072
This is only meant for Pixel XL 128GB (unless the others are also facing the issue) for people facing random freeze/reboot issues. Thanks.
I just had a complete freeze up and random reboot in my pixel xl 32gb yesterday, so i dont think it has anything to do with just the 128gb. My bootloader is locked and I am not rooted or ROM'ed. I never happened before 7.1.1 so maybe its a software issue.

Maybe try filling up the storage. Around 50 GB mark. I hope the phone behaves.:fingers-crossed:
I wondered about that myself, if it is a bad memory chip then it may not work until I have more shoved in there. Maybe tonight I will move some large files to the phone just to see what happens.

Interesting.
Hynix is/was *huge* in Enterprise level server ECC DDR RAM.
OK, I got it over the 50gb (52 to be exact) and I will let it go and see if I encounter any problems. Not apps, mainly pictures and movies of varying format if that makes any difference to the experiment.

It may be a bit early, and I could jinx myself, but it has been 6 hours and no freeze or reboot yet.

I have just experienced this issue. In my case I had just removed a messaging app that stored data. After deleting the app I was prompted by ES file explorer to delete data, I chose to delete and phone froze then would not boot up until I booted into bootloader and restarted. I am on 7.1.1 Verizon, 32 GB , Samsung storage , rooted and unlocked
Pixel xl 128gb is from Toshiba and the 4gb ram module is from Hynix , unlocked bootloader, rooted , stock recovery. i have 70gb free , no freeze , no reboot

Uninstall ES File Explorer. It is malware and can have serious impact on stability of your device.
Looks like the problem may only be affecting Samsung memory...? Has anyone had any issues with the Toshiba chip?

Nexus 6P Update (Google Assistant , Pixel Features)

Hey guys.
Just heard that Google is actually releasing the Google Assistant to some devices , including the 6P , through the Google play services.
Seems like Google is giving us more Pixel Features , so first the dialler and messaging apps and stuff like that , now we're getting the assistant.
Does anyone know when we are going to get it ? (Heard something like next week)
And does anyone know what Google is actually doing , are they going to give us the pixel launcher , the blue accents , the solid navigation buttons? Let me know is you know anything about this. Thanks !! ✌?✌?✌?

No it doesn't, very little does, but there are rules in place for a reason, so we don't have anarchy with people posting wherever they feel like. However, the next time someone comments that you posted in the wrong section, maybe realise that it's not an attack or an insult to your intelligence but rather simply pointing out that you did something you shouldn't have and helping by passing along the information instead of trying, and subsequently failing, to be a smartass. If I had reported the thread or had it deleted then you'd have a right to be upset if even if I said you were stupid or negligent then again you'd have the right but alas no, but I'll be sure to point it out to you next time.
Goodnight gentlemen.

Post has been reported to facilitate transfer to the correct thread. No need to start any arguments. So chill
@op The Voice Assistant update is a staged roll-out, meaning more and more users will get it within the next few days. No one really knows the full extent of Google's plans for bringing pixel features to other devices like the Nexus line. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
All I can say is that such initiatives are welcome, especially if the changes are not merely cosmetic in nature, but instead add useful features to our device.
So yeah ... Did anyone get the assistant during the week ?

Hope that helps.
After using it for about 24 hours I can't say that I have noticed a big increase or decrease in battery life. I know most people say give it a day or 2 for the update to "settle in". I also have had 0 problems with apps so far.

I received the latest update of Oreo last night, hopefully it fixed the battery drain of the April update.
I get frustrated as well with Samsung's slow upgrade path but I have the Pixel 2XL as well as the Note 8 but the Note is better in so many ways.
Say what you will about the Samsung UI, it is pretty well though out, and you don't need to download separate apps to do the things you take for granted in the Note.
Build quality of the Note is vastly superior to the Pixel IMO.

I received the latest update of Oreo last night, hopefully it fixed the battery drain of the April update.
I get frustrated as well with Samsung's slow upgrade path but I have the Pixel 2XL as well as the Note 8 but the Note is better in so many ways.
Say what you will about the Samsung UI, it is pretty well though out, and you don't need to download separate apps to do the things you take for granted in the Note.
Build quality of the Note is vastly superior to the Pixel IMO.

did you do factory reset yet, and if continues, seems you may need to get device reflashed at best buy or samsung.
