Why's my About Phone say Pixel 2 XL lol - Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers

I've checked my build.prop and all that... Says Phone 2 and such, but my settings says Pixel 2 XL. Followed a tutorial to root it from here but didn't notice it was pixel 2 XL before I did it

AR Stickers

AR Stickers are working on our beloved 6p, guys.
If you're rooted, follow the tutorial below. You need camera NX V7.2 for it to work (stock camera no longer works with this mod installed) and be on any version of 8.1. It's working on my dp1. Cheers.

I finally got it to work this morning. I'm rooted but didn't follow what they say in the article (Read the comments to know why). The article doesn't explain it very well... There's no need to be rooted to make it works. Also, It works flawlessly on the Google Camera without the NX version. I made it works on my Friend's Samsung S7 running Nougat 7.0 and without root as well as my other friend's Samsung Note 8 without root!

Thanks. I'll try uninstalling the NX and see if it works with stock. Don't know about the root part. Said it's needed and I'm rooted anyway but if root isn't needed, even better.
Thanks! I just installed both modified AR apks to my unrooted Nexus 6P with the latest Camera NX, and it works flawlessly!

Since it's no longer pixel 2 xl, lost Google lens in Assistant. Got HDR back though. Dang.
Edit: have everything working now. Changed ro.product model back to Pixel 2 XL. Rebooted and didn't lose HDR this time round. Have AR stickers and Google lens in Assistant now. Yay.

In the build prop did u use all lower case letters or Pixel 2 XL??? I'm just wondering because after changing to Pixel 2 XL I lost my hrd once....that's before official 8.1 though....
Even after changing to Marlin ...I lost her
Could u tell me exactly what u did with build prop

When I changed everything to marlin, I lost lens in assistant but I got back HDR on NX camera with AR stickers. Last night, I edited build.prop again and changed product model to Pixel 2 XL (as shown). Rebooted and I checked Google Assistant. Lens icon back and working. I thought HDR option would be gone but when I opened NX camera, it's still there.
The only thing is stock camera fc after changing to marlin. But since NX is working with HDR and AR Stickers, I'm not too bothered.
Well I wonder ....my Google lens in assistant and AR stickers in camera are both working fine but hdr disappeared...well u have got something right and that something is what I need to make my thing right ..right ??
Do u have the camera 3 API active ?
Have u added anything else in build prop??

That's all I did. Don't know anything about camera 3 API.

Install this version, just modify Api 26 by Api24 and add ro.product.device=marlin in apk:
ar.core_0.91.171127093.apk
vr.apps.ornament_1.0.171127163-V1.1.apk
If it does not work.
Add line ro.config.calibration_cad=/system/etc/device_profile_angler.proto in build.prop file restart your device
extract the proto and move in /system/etc

[Magisk Module] Face Unlock

This is not my work, just sharing what I found.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603909998
How well does this work?
It is not as fast as I would like.
Is there a thread for this mod? I couldn't find one which is a little concerning. It's a little too sketchy for me.......

I could not find one. I found the module on Google.
You can take a look inside the zip, it is just face unlock and required libs from opengapps packaged as a magisk module.
You could even download the latest gapps and replace the files in the module zip with those from the gapps zip.
Works exceptionally well on my 3a XL. I did the model training about 10 times from different angles and it recongises me within half a second if not less.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did the same a few days ago and am seeing much faster and more reliable unlocks.
Is there anyway to have the option where it goes straight to the home screen instead of having to swipe after it is face unlocked?
Is it working in android 10?
Since I have flashed Android Q ROM, the trusted face has vanished mysteriously. Will this module work for Q as well?

Not possible tbh. Face unlock is completely removed from smart lock. no way to bring it back except for custom ROMs.

For some reason the link posted by the OP isn't working. I was able to track down a copy of the same .zip in another website. I'm sure it's the same because the MD5 is the same.
Enjoy :good:
There is a way for work on 8.1? Rom RR on nexus5
Does it work for pie roms which don't have face unlock in the smart lock?

No TWRP, how do you backup/restore?

Please pardon my ignorance. I'm coming from my trusty [now nearly 5 year old] Nexus 6, running Android 8.
I feel a bit like I've fallen asleep under a tree, and have awakened to find everything has changed.
I was bummed to learn there's no TWRP available for our Pixel 4 XL, and probably won't be for some time [*1].
So.... what are you guys using to do full back/restore?
I ask because I recently found myself wanting a full NAND backup, after soft-bricking my Pixel 4 XL while trying to install a buggy Xposed Framework, which caused a bootloop [*2].
[*1] - https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
[*2] - https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/issues/376
I haven't done a nand backup in years. My full backup is 1) letting Google handle most of it 2) TiBu and SMS backup and restore. I have TiBu run backups of all of my designated apps and sync them with GDrive twice a week. It really makes doing a full wipe not really a big deal at all.
I got bootloop with Xposed too and was tripping out since I haven't played with phones in years. Finally was able to reflash stock. Is there a stable version of Xposed to use for our phones?

Google's backup covers me well. Used to do Titanium Backup but the last time I did that was over 4 years now.

Great question... one that deserves to be in a dedicated thread, as I think many of us could benefit from knowing the answer.
Edit: @eg1122 just started a new thread here

Nice. I didn't know Tibu was still useful. When I saw it on play store it hadn't been updated in a while so I figured it was obsolete....had to dig up my pro license from the galaxy s2

Tibu wasn't working too well for me... that is until an update for V8.4.0 came out earlier today.
It was FC'ing whenever I'd try to open the app yesterday.
After today's update, it seems to be working for me.

Sorry for the late response. If you go to the pixel 4xl section and look for "theme and mods" section it's in there. Follow the steps exactly

For my Pixel 2 XL, on the last Android 10 update (August), after applying this and restarting, when the phone finished booting and I'm presented with the lock screen, the screen goes black. If I press and hold the power button, I can see the power menu but that is the extent of what i can do. Suggestions?

My first suggestion is to not install Pixel 4 mods on a Pixel 2XL phone. Now that you have, connect phone to pc, open command menu, paste
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules and hope your modules are removed.
