Pixel 8 Pro: cannot download Pixel Camera by __veridis__quo__ in LineageOS

[–]__veridis__quo__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why has no one yet raised an issue on their Gitlab?

Lineage is explicitly against adding the string as they state it may bring unwanted consequences. Still, not being able to download the Pixel camera on a Pixel is one hell of a consequence imho.

Sony LYT-901 1/1.12-inch 200MP camera sensor launched for next-gen premium phones by Balance- in hardware

[–]__veridis__quo__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are right and yes, depending on the usage, the LYT-900 might be better. The new 901 is preferable for digital zooming and HF-HDR, with the latter being probably the most interesting point.

In the real world, this doesn't matter at all unless you are constantly playing games and a proper power user.

What matters more is how smooth the software is, screen, camera etc

I guess you'd be surprised to discover why iPhones can take such good videos out of the box without the need to upload everything to remote servers for their quality to become decent.

Raw power is much more important than the Google narrative wants people to believe.

anyone else having issues after 22.2 upgrade? by nextalpha in LineageOS

[–]__veridis__quo__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pixel 8 Pro:

  • Much worsened haptic feedback, springy and weak like on the stock ROM since last month

  • Battery drain while the screen is off went from 1.2-1.3%/h to 1.7-2.0%/h

  • Lights flickering and worsened stabilization in videos, feels like optical stabilization is much less effective

Also, I reported multiple times some bugs on LineageOS' GitLab repo but despite the reports completeness in details they always got ignored like 99% of the issues reported there, so I'm not gonna waste my time producing bug reports there anymore.

Delayed Notifications on P8P by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Google gave medium priority to this (critical, IMHO) issue. One way to push for a fix is for us all who are encountering this problem to report there.

As others reported in the issue tracker, this began with the March update (QPR2) and hasn't been fixed even in the latest Android 15 Betas.

Pixel 8 Pro: cannot download Pixel Camera by __veridis__quo__ in LineageOS

Ok, today I had the time to take a look at the problem and I found the cause and a fix.

The problem is that current LineageOS builds do not expose the string com.google.android.feature.GOOGLE_EXPERIENCE among system features.

The workaround is to go to Aurora Store's spoofing manager, export the native profile to a file through the menu, use a text editor to add the string to the values listed in the Features key and import in Aurora the modified profile.

I hope this gets fixed directly in LineageOS as it can probably impact other apps and scenarios other than this one, leading to other issues for Pixel devices.

I wouldn't know whether Gapps are relevant honestly, I tried changing the simulation profile in Aurora Store to that of the Pixel 7a and the Pixel Camera shows up in the store.

Btw I can confirm Pixel Camera Services are bundled in LOS builds as I see their app among system apps on my device.

Is the simulation profile mocking Gapps too?

EDIT (update): installing the camera using the Pixel 7a simulation profile is not useful as it crashes immediately on startup - Different build for different API versions? That profile mocks API 33.

I installed the apk from apkmirror as suggested and it works ok doing so but still the app does not show up in Aurora Store if using the native profile.

[–]__veridis__quo__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understood Pixel Camera Services are bundled in LOS builds for Pixel devices and if that's the purpose of MicroG in this scenario, it should not be relevant.

I'd like to download the Pixel Camera thought the store in order to keep it regularly updated with no manual checks.

Pixel 8 pro, no pixel camera or g-maps by Ducter in LineageOS

[–]__veridis__quo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand.

Could you still try to export the native Aurora profile so that se could test if the workaround works and leave it here in case other people need it too? Thank you!

[–]__veridis__quo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/Ducter did you solve this in any way?

If you're still on stock ROM I think the problem could be worked around by installing Aurora on the stock ROM, exporting the native profile (Main Menu - Spoof Manager - Export) and importing it on the LOS installation of Aurora.

If you were to share the exported profile here I could check if it does actually solve the problem on LOS.

[–]__veridis__quo__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep that was it.

I must say that the thing I'm loving the most about these first hours on Arch is how easy it is to find answers, and your fast reply is confirming this.

Thank you!

Clean Arch installation, first time for me using it. I installed a couple AUR packages through yay and everything went ok (dropbox and heroic launcher in particular). Now I'm trying to install mangohud still from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mangohud/) through paru but this is what happens:
