Why Doesn't the Pixel 2 XL Support Project Tango? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Does anyone know why Google doesn't support Project Tango AR in their flagship devices? Seems if they wanted AR to improve, they'd push it in their home built phones.

I believe tango was renamed or rebuilt into ARcore. Def could be wrong

You can use my patched apk below that I also posted on Google+.

Just sideload like any other non-market app.
EDIT: Screenshot can be seen here running on a Nexus 7:

You're welcome. Yes, thanks to the flexibility of Android it scales perfectly fine and at least on a 7" tablet the experience is just as good as on the phone, but with slightly more content.
Is there no widget? How stupid

Assuming not because I have it on my phone and there is no option for one there either. May be in a future update.

Which is exactly what got me to patch the apk to remove that check. They should really have filtered it out using the Play Store filters instead if they didn't want tablet users.
Honestly, except for the multiple account support, I do believe that Falcon Pro is a better option..

I questioned them about this and their response was because they wanted to allow "larger phones" the ability to download.
I'm trying both Falcon and Carbon right now. I haven't decided which I prefer. I'm not a huge Twitter user.

Not bad...still prefer tweetdeck.
I designed this app to work on Mobiles, filtering it through Play Store would filter some of the big phones, that was our doubt.
I designed it, and I can tell, that it's an awkward app to be used on a Tablet. I did announce (I'm still not allowed to post links here since I haven't passed 10 posts yet) that we're working on a Tablet app. Check our page on Google+ (+CarbonAndroid)
C'mon guys! Patch an app, jus' like that? And hosting it on Dropbox? Months of work and you guys deal with it just like that? C'mon!

Come on, after months and months of "developing", still no widget, no tablet support? Yes, you say you are working on a tablet app, but considering how long the phone app took, which is no more than a beta, it looks like a heck of a long time to wait for possible vaporware, especially considering the history of this app.

I agree that it probably doesn't work that well on 10" tablets but the experience on the Nexus 7 in portrait mode is good. Also, I assumed people using the modified app also used your app on their phone in most cases which means that no extra API token is taken up, unlike the included multi-user feature. I patched the app for my personal use but since people requested it I posted it here.
I honestly fail to see what your problem is with this. XDA users post patched APKs all the time to remove arbitrary limitations (Hulu, Netflix and Swype to name a few). If/when you release a tablet app, even a paid one, the interest for this will go away if the experiance is better. I'd be willing to remove the link to the patched APK when you release the tablet version. Until then, this is the only way for tablet users to enjoy your work.

Just a heads up, the "ultra pixel" is a type of camera. It's hardware, not software.

I know it's hardware but it was showed in portal news, someone modified another camera app to compress 8mp photos to 2mp. Same pixel count but smaller image. So that's making difference in photo quality. That's what I mean by ultra pixel

You can modify the Vignette application and it will work. Done that and tried on Nexus 4 but I sucks in telling what is a good image and what is bad so I cannot tell the different much.
The other features would be also great.

Subbed.
I'd like to see if this goes anywhere. I pushed the apk to my system apps and only got FC's on the camera over and over again, gallery was fine though.

I'm not a dev, maybe someone work on it. I pushed apk to system too, as it's based on aosp, I think these features are not imposslible for us. We need to get some attraction from devs :fingers-crossed:
That work for me but I have always a better photo with stock Camera app...

Whats your default gallery app?

So, my question for you today is: whats your default gallery app? Do you guys use the Google Photos as default? Im asking this because my opinion about GPhotos is that its not a quickly and fast app, I have 4.000 pics on my N5X and on GPhotos it haves some lags maybe due to this amount of pics.
If is another app, tell me what is, I would like to test new ones.
Thanks.

Quickpic.
Piktures is my new favorite. Stumbled upon it the other day. Really like it so far. The secret drive is a pretty cool feature too lol
I used to use QuickPic and Google Photos but went minimalist and using just Google Photos now. Mainly cause I don't keep as much hard copies on my phone anymore with everything backed up to Google Photos now. Including all my photos on my computer.

I use quick pic but an older version before it was sold to cheetah mobile. And resigned so it doesn't show updates.

The Cheetah Mobile version is still really good actually. Have you tried it recently? The only ad-like thing they added was an album looking button for their cloud storage which can easily be hidden.

We can agree to disagree on that. I have been watching the app and watching what others have had to say about the latest updates and to be honest I see no reason to update. The cloud storage options are useless to me, nor would I use servers from that part of the world.
For me and thousands of others there is no reason to update.

Did Allo come installed on new Google Pixel smartphone?

If so, were you able to uninstall completely?
yes and yes
Not on my Canadian one, purchased through bell. Actually there's no "bloatware" on mine.
Verizon model from Best Buy and no it was not on it
Pretty sure it was only presinstalled on the Google Store edition

Allo does you should have it figured out assuming you just unboxed and turned on the phone the first time if it's there then yes. Android doesn't auto download stuff unless you have a virus.

We may have to agree to disagree
Until they merge some of the apps I don't agree. Google Voice, Hangouts, Messages, Allo, Duo. Once they merge together/retire then it will be better.
Anyone get an unlocked version directly from Google? If so, was it preinstalled? If it was, could it be uninstalled or just disabled?

Bug with Instagram Camera Zooms In?

So I'm using my pixel 2 XL and on the Instagram app camera when I take the picture it zooms out. So when looking at the view finder, by default it's zoomed in and then when rendering the picture it zooms out.
Is there a way to fix that or has anyone else experienced this?
No, Instagram is just the worst app for Android out there.
My friend has that issue but I don't. I never use the camera in Instagram for the feeds but I will use the story camera on occasion.

Oh hmm, I get the issue on both for feed and story camera.
I didn't use to have that problem and just appeared out of nowhere. Even when they activated the chip on Instagram it still worked fine and then it just started zoomed in and the final pictures are zoomed out.
My main bug I have with Instagram is the frozen story video when adding stickers. It still plays when published but you can see how it is before sending.

Oh wow that's crazy. I don't have that bug at all. Was trying to make it happen right now and it works fine. It's really weird that each pixel device experiences different bugs with the same app.
Yeah I've had this since DP2 I think. Did the usual clear app data and uninstall, reinstall.
Oh and another bug I have is I can't add a soundtrack to stories nor can I play the music. I get a "Can't be played in your region" message. But I was able to do both when the feature first came out.
