# GooglePhotos

An exclusive look at the "Backup Locked Folder" feature in action. Your photos will be backed up to the cloud when you add them in the Locked Folder and can access them even after you uninstall or clear data of the app.

You will see an uploading icon on the photo when it's uploading to the cloud. This feature was initially spotted by Nail back in February and hasn't been rolled out publicly yet. I managed to enable it :)

It got enabled after messing up with some shared preference (root needed) files of Google Photos. Since Flags are encrypted in GPhotos, I don't know the exact one which is responsible for it.

#GoogleDialer

Google is doing some changes in Voicemail Greeting feature in Google Phone V113 beta. Idk if this already exists. Custom greetings/voice signature.

In India, we don't have voicemail thing so can't really test or check about this.

If someone have voicemail feature, please send a screenshot of the "Custom Greetings" settings from the Google Phone app in comments if you have that option. I couldn't find anything on internet about it except that the Google Voice app allows adding custom greetings.

[ROOT] Enable Locked Folder Backup in Google Photos

Issue : Photo editing may or may not work after following this method.

Instructions -
1. Download the flag file from here.
2. Using your favourite root file explorer, copy it to /data/data/com.google.android.apps.photos/shared_prefs/ and replace with the existing file with the same name.
3. Force stop Google Photos once and open it.
4. Go to the locked folder and you will see the opt in dialogue.

If you want to revert to original, maybe just make a backup of existing flag file before copying or just clear data of Google Photos app.

Well, that's enough for today. See ya all after some days.

#GoogleFiles

Here is the Digilocker integration in action in Google Files for Indian users. :) It's working fully now and seems like it will be released soon.

Process -
1. Connect to Digilocker.
2. Login on Digilocker website and grant access to Google Files app.
3. Let the app retrieve all your documents which includes only Aadhar, PAN, COVID vaccination certificate and your driving licence.

If there is some demand, maybe I will share the way to enable it for rooted users. :p it's not easy as flipping a flag with GappsMod.

#GoogleTranslate

Google Translate is getting a whole new bunch of features and UI improvements with V7.12

0. UI Updates
- The "conversation" icon will be removed and replaced with the "Handwriting" icon. New speak button animation and some other things. Watch the Video above to see all things.

1. Face to Face mode
- This allows you to turn your screen (Translate app UI) upside down in conversation mode, so the other person can see the translated text instantly while you speak and vice versa.

2. New Speech features
- Translate any form of speech, from words, continuous conversations, to long trannoscriptions. This removes the standalone "conversation" feature and is now integrated in the "Speech" section.

3. Auto Playback
- Automatically read the translation aloud after you finish speaking.

4. Auto language detection
- Automatically recognize the language you speak. You can disable it to manually select the language before speaking.

Everything works, but no word about its rollout.

Google Photos Prepares to Add Ultra HDR Photos Support

Back in May, Google announced Ultra HDR image capturing support coming to premium Android devices with Android 14. It was also said that Google Photos will be the first app to support viewing and editing Ultra HDR images.

With Android 14 coming next month, Google Photos 6.51.0.561138754 is adding support for viewing Ultra HDR images. The code and strings added in this version hints at it.

Ultra HDR disabled
UltraHdrPreviewFragment
EDITOR_ULTRA_HDR_PREVIEW
photos_mediadetails_details_ultra_hdr

It's not possible for me to personally test if this is ready, it may have some more bits of code added before Android 14 release.

You can become a patreon member (It's just 3$) or you can donate directly to my paypal whatever amount you like.

There will be no exclusive content, but if you want to get early access to new features news / Flags and the tools I use for this work, I may think about it in future and create a new Tier, but for now your feedback will be appreciated on this matter.

#Gboard

What's new :

• Google removed the conversation starter flag and its code completely, so you will never see it again.

It was possible to enable it with writing_helper_enable_conversation_starter flag with Rboard 😉

• New language search bar when adding languages in Gboard. It can be enabled with enable_new_language_search_bar

• Two panel settings in Landscape mode (just like tablets). You can enable it with enable_settings_two_pane_display

This is available in previous version of gboard as well. Thanks to the Rboard channel for pointing it out though.

• New proofreading icon and Google will mask bad words (with ***) in the text :p This setting is off by default for now, but in case Google enable it someday you can turn it off by writing_helper_mask_bad_word

• Emogen, the AI emoji generator is also coming soon but it doesn't work yet for now even after enabling flags.

That's it.

@GappsModFlags

I will be dropping some exclusive (kinda) information on my blog on Tuesday (IST).

Yeah, I have a blog as well which is abandoned since 2020 and now is a good time to start it again because not everyone uses telegram, so my blog will be the other source of information/features which I find. I abandoned Twitter (💩), so news websites which covers the information which I share can link directly to my blog if I post there). Will keep posting on telegram as well. 🥳

#AndroidXR

Google Play Store and Google Play Services code reveals some bits about the Android XR platform. This also means the Android powered XR Platform may be somewhat ready but not enough to compete with Apple's Vision Pro.

Read about it on my blog, can't post on telegram as it's long and will break it into multiple parts which I don't really want. (Ignore old blog posts as they are 2 years old and kinda outdated, also no dark theme :p)
