Introduction
Hello everyone! Having just now read this XDA article, I decided to try out the flashable zip linked in it. Needless to say, it worked like a charm! Hence, I decided to create a Magisk module for this so that those who don't want to mess with their system partitions can use the module to enable Google Lens in Google Photos. Have fun!

Did you clear data ?? And photos version you are using is ?

Didnt work in my 1+5

There wasn't any need to clear data for me. Loaded the module, restarted the phone, opened Google Photos and force-closed/killed it, reopened Google Photos and Google Lens was there. :)

The issue is most definitely at your end since the module has been working fine for me, my testers and all the people who've posted in this thread.

Please make sure that you're using the correct module zip for your Magisk version. If you use the wrong module zip for your Magisk version, it might end up in a bootloop, so.

This is supposed to work only after we take a picture, right? It doesn't work if we open the camera and let google lens do it's work?

Camera? Where did that come from? :p It works in Google Photos. Google Camera has got nothing to do with Google Lens. :) Basically, take a picture (from any Camera app), it'll get saved and will appear in Google Photos. Open that picture there and you will see a Lens button at the bottom.

Make sure you don't have any substratum theme overlays applied to Google Photos. If you don't have a theme/it still doesn't work after removing the theme and restarting, you can try clearing the data and cache of Google Photos from the settings and restarting your phone before launching Google Photos again. Good luck! :good:

Well, actually Google Lens has everything to do with the Camera.

    Hi all - OP has been updated with an updated module for Magisk 15.0. Enjoy! :)
    4
    Please, can anyone upload the module for Magisk v14? I'm with problems with v15.x so I'm using v14.5 for now

    Sure, please find attached. :)

    Also, everyone, I've now also uploaded the module in Magisk Repo. I highly recommend that if you're using the Magisk module from the first post, then you should uninstall it and reinstall it from Magisk Repo. I'll be updating it there only from now on so that you can get seamless update notifications from the app and download the update via Magisk Manager only instead of keeping a tab of this thread. :)

    Hi everyone! Since this module is useless now and Google Lens is natively enabled in Google Photos for everyone, I'm closing this thread and removing the download link to the module from the OP as well as the Magisk Repo. Thank you! :)

    darn, thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping to keep this module enabled a little longer if it actually did give me unlimited photo space. anyway, thanks for your great work in this module!

    Yeah, I think it's been a while since Google changed the checks, so that's why I didn't even make any claims that this module also gives unlimited photo & video backups at original quality.

    Nonetheless, you're welcome and glad that you liked the module! :)
