Phone recognized as Pixel in Google Photos
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Nexus 6 build with stock OpenGapps package. There are no build.prop tweaks, yet the phone is recognized as a Pixel in Google Photos, which doesn't let me change the backup type. My Google Drive storage gets depleted every time I backup a photo.
It is a user build, so I have no root. Any suggestions?
Ah, I recently changed the file /etc/sysconfig/nexus.xml to be again as it is on Pixel devices. It is just important that this file should only be installed on Pixel devices and not on ROMs for other devices. Aosp_build will need an update to take this into account.
But if I manually delete the two strings before my build, I should be in the clear right?
yes, but even better would be to completely drop the file if it ain't a pixel, to avoid issues with setupwizard too (since android 7.1)
Right, because the setup wizard is also Pixel-esque! Thank you very much!
no problem, but not sure if closing the issue is the right thing; the aosp_build script needs an update for this so probably @Blystad wants to have a look at this
Right now we just blindly take everything from all/etc. I guess we only want "google.xml" by default. Then Nexus users can add their own PRODUCT_COPY_FILES for the other files, if they so desire.
