# Pixelify-Google-Photos

LSPosed / EdXposed module to add Google Pixel features on Google Photos for any device.  

Tested on EdXposed by [Jim Wu](https://github.com/MlgmXyysd)  

[LSPosed module repo](https://github.com/Xposed-Modules-Repo/balti.xposed.pixelifygooglephotos.git)  

[Development repo](https://github.com/BaltiApps/Pixelify-Google-Photos.git)

### Steps to use:

1. Install Magisk, [LSPosed](https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed) Or [EdXposed](https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed).  

2. Install the apk of this app (available from [Releases](https://github.com/BaltiApps/Pixelify-Google-Photos/releases) page.)  

3. Open LSPosed / EdXposed app and enable the module. For LSPosed, Google Photos will be automatically selected.  

4. Reboot. Enjoy. (If needed, you might need to clear data of Google Photos app).  

### How does this module work?

It simply hooks on to `hasSystemFeature()` method under `android.app.ApplicationPackageManager` class. 

Then when Google Photos checks the relevant features which are expected only on Pixel devices, the module passes `true`. 

Thus Google Photos enables Pixel-Exclusive features.  

The features being "spoofed" can be found from:  

[Dot OS sources](https://github.com/DotOS/android_vendor_dot/blob/55f1c26bb6dbb1175d96cf538ae113618caf7d06/prebuilt/common/etc/pixel_2016_exclusive.xml)  

[PixelFeatureDrops magisk module](https://github.com/ayush5harma/PixelFeatureDrops/tree/master/system/etc/sysconfig)  

This module can also spoof some of the `build.prop` information like `BRAND`, `MANUFACTURER`, `MODEL`, `FINGERPRINT` of some Pixel devices.
