MagiskHidePropsConf can spoof props, so you can make all other apps think you are on another device easily.
Users (specially with stock ROMs) should be aware that spoofing the model can cause unpleasant results like: stores like Samsung no more working properly, issues with GCam, issues with XDR, in the worst case OTA affected (but user can always disable the MHCP modul temporarily)

I suggest to spoof using xposed.
So, you can choose which apps can see the spoof or not.
MagiskHidePropsConf is really extreme and probably some confuse.

If we can use the systemconfig folder files with f1vm, why can't the same idea/steps done on the real phone itself and not on the VM?

By the way I followed the steps and yes it shows I'm getting unlimited original quality backup

You don't need to spam by quoting and posting the same several times every few hours

So just now when I launched f1vm and after it loaded, there seems to be a popup (there's always the case) but this time suddenly I received an sms stating that I've successfully subscribed to a gameplay something something. And it costs me MYR 2.

Dayumn! This method is not recommended even though it works

I would like to have unlimited google photos storage, but even saver quality would be ok for me. Maybe there's a hack that is compatible with bluestacks, to avoid messing with our phone?

I think this module is for customizing appearance only. It doesn't help you get unlimited storage by skinning interface )

Hello and thanks for this hack. It used to work with my old Mi9 but I have now a Mi 11 Lite 5G which has A / B partition. When I do all process and reboot it gets bricked in fastboot mode.
Maybe there's a workaround to avoid this. Waiting...

1st parking and wait for people try out

Edit: it actually works. But it adds on top of your current google drive storage (my max storage 19GB + extra 11GB from this mod, total I have 30GB now)
With new google account, just keep uploading after 15GB? It will then show show 16GB, 17GB etc.? Will I still be able to upload on google drive to upload documents?

Simple mod to back up all your photos in Original quality to Google Photos without it being only in High Quality.

Requirements: Root

1st Method

Instructions:
1. Download Root Explorer
2.Download the Nexus.xml file
3. In Root Explorer go to system/etc/sysconfig
4. Paste the .XML file there
5. Change to file permissions to 0444 (read only)
6. Clear Data/Cache from Google Photos
7.Reboot
8.Enjoy unlimited original photos backup

For those who this method doesn't work, there's another method I've found.

2nd Method

For this method you'll need BuildPropapp.

Download the app from the file I've provided or from playstore.

Open the app , At top right corner you'll find a pencil icon. click on it, You'll see a list of codes.

Now you can either manually find the following values or use the find option in the menu from top right corner.

Change The Following Values:-

<strong>ro.product.model=Pixel 2 XL </strong>
<strong>ro.product.manufacturer=Google</strong>
<strong>ro.opa.eligible_device=true</strong>

After changing the values. Click on save icon and close the app.

Again wipe the user data of Google photos and reboot your phone.

That's all...
Thank you very much its working for me with 1st method

    There is a third, easiest option
    Use the provided magisk module

    Nice mod but it's always a bad idea to play to hack Google services...
