Hello, first of all I would like to apologize for my English. I created this thread to know if it would be possible to bring the new features of the google pixel xl 2 cameras to our google pixel because according to google everything was done through software, would there be any way to bring it to our phone?
What features exactly? The DoF/Bokeh is not only software, it has to do with the dual pixel tech Pixel 2 has, it's hardware, even it's somehow implemented on Pixel 2016s it'll never be as good.
Don't know of any other strikingly different feature other than that.

There's an app somewhere on here that has the pixel 2 camera APK. If you're on the 8.1 DP 1, you have to clone the APK and install it to run alongside the stock camera, because it was originally made for 8.0.
Hi! Is there a way to get the feature of Pixel 3, such as a ROM, or apks on the OG Pixel XL?
A lot of features that are not hardware dependant will come to the older pixels without needing to make any changes. Some will remain a pixel 3 exclusive for a month or so but will eventually roll out to older pixels. Here is a great article about it.

I don't know , I just got the phone and noticed that the fast charging is not consistent at all.
After digging around in XDA and Reddit I found out that the October OTA messed it up..
That's why I'm asking.

It's fairly consistent for me though not really fast. I'm using the original charger and the speed varies depending on the percentage. Take a good amount of time to charge up fully. Although with my usage i get a full day and i put it up on charge at night so issues for me.

That's correct but 3 years from release is nothing new. It's always been that.

Yeah, I thought the OP was saying that the Pixel 2, 2 XL wasn't getting any more updates, as in OS updates.

No the OP meant that there was no update (fixes the 3 and 3 XL got like camera launching) for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL for March. It's just a security update.

Inconsistent how for you? It's always a 70-75% increase in 60 minutes when starting at 5-10%.

Not trying to be difficult here, but where did you find that it is JUST security updates?
Asking because.

Now maybe that refers only to the OG Pixel, in that case where are the ones for the P2 / XL and P3 / XL?
Below is a screen grab.

I actually didn't catch that. I went by the system up to date saying "security patch level: March 5, 2019".
Me saying it's "just a security patch" was just saying that's there's no functional changes like the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.

Yes, but no. I'm not sure but:
Security patch levels of 2019-03-05 or later address all issues associated with the 2019-03-05 security patch level and all previous patch levels.

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-03-01#2019-03-05-details
In the sections below, we provide details for each of the security vulnerabilities that apply to the 2019-03-05 patch level

Example:
CVE-2019-1986, affecting Android 9; CVE-2019-1987 affecting version 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1, and 9; and CVE-2019-1988 affecting version 8.0, 8.1, 9.
Was patched in the last updates.
So I assume We got the https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-03-01#2019-03-05-details patches but no Pixel specific security update was added.

That page was updated today. What I posted yesterday was very incomplete, to say the least.

Charging speed varies with the percentage of battery when you plug it in, faster charging initially and then it slows down towards the end.
Charging speed also depends on the phone temperature, if the phone is cold (less than 18 or 20 Celsius i think?) it charges quite slowly, above 22-23 Celsius (the phone that is) it charges fast.
Good day guys,
Sorry to probably ask this question for the millionth time or revive old/dead posts. Can the Pixel 3 XL stuff work on the Pixel 3?
Like roms, kernels etc..please enlighten me. I will receive my Pixel soon and would like to mod it. I am not seeing a lot of stuff out there for the Pixel 3 though...or is it just me?
Many thanks in advance

Some Custom Kernels can I don't think the Custom Roms will work. Go to this thread ( [Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by homeboy76 ) There are links for Pixel 3 XL Custom Kernels (#7) and Custom ROMs (#10).
Is it possible for the developer preview/beta version of Android 14 to be ported onto Pixel 3 XL from a more recent Pixel device (e.g. Pixel 7 or Pixel 6 or Pixel 5)? It would be greatly appreciated

I believe the Pixel 3 should be capable of running a Generic System Image, so it would be unnecessary to port the firmware. It doesn't look like a GSI is available for 14DP yet but I imagine you could potentially use the system.img out of the update package for a more recent Pixel.
See this thread.
