  • Experimental 9th generation Pixel support is available

DeletedUser88 I read that 3GB of RAM were allocated purely for AI on the Pixel 9 Pro and XL, leaving 13GB of RAM for user apps.

Discussion of this claim might be more productive if a citation were provided (such as a link).

      Thanks!

      Memory is locked when a process with appropriate privileges invokes the mlock or mlock2 system call. So when a Pixel 9 Pro has the AICore app with 3 GB of RAM locked, that means that the app was launched with sufficient privileges, then it allocated memory, then it locked the memory.

      If AICore isn't on a Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS, then it didn't allocate memory and lock it, so the memory shouldn't be allocated (let alone locked). Though I don't have a Pixel 9 of any flavor, I'm pretty confident that without the app the phenomena described in the article won't be happening.

          GrapheneOS Pleased to say I have moved from my P8P to my P9P XL with GOS installed, and is now my daily driver :] First release had no volume control and was set very loud, which was fixed with v.2 today.

          Best way to test IMHO is to use it :] I'll report any other bugs found. Outstanding effort as always from GOS Team!!

            Awesome! Is it possible to use the fancy AI photo features with the Google Camera on GrapheneOS? Or is that feature exclusive to the stock OS?

              And for flawlessly use of Google Camera it also needs Google Photos, I guess?
              Because to view a photo you have made, Google Camera app needs Google Photos, otherwise it will crash directly after tapping its “photo preview” (idk if that term is correct, hope you know what I mean).

              This was my experience while using Google Camera on my Pixel 7 Pro.
              In the meantime I use the GOS Camera app.

                  Yeah you need Google Photos and give it network permission the first time, so it enables the feature flags for the Pixel-exclusive features.

                  Then all of them will work flawlessly.

                      Hi - I'm unable to mount MTP under linux (arch). I posted here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/15233-anyone-with-mtp-issues-on-pixel-9

                      I've since tried:

                      1. jmtpfs
                      2. MTPfs

                      And aft which is what I typically use.

                      I also tried setting 'USB-C' port to "On" which is supposed to disable all protections.

                      Lemme know what else I can try; my backups from pixel 7 were done with same usbC cable, I also tried the one the pixel9 shipped with. I have rebooted a few times, Transfer File mode is on & the device shows up on the OS.

                      Yes please, thanks for the offer. It would be very nice. I'm on the edge if I gonna buy it for family member who are interested in those AI camera photo editing features.

                          nchrtd Yep, is working.
                          Don't forget to:
                          a) you cannot install it if you have installed GPhotos in any profile
                          b) You need to allow the app to access Photos and Media (via the permission or via the storage scopes (/sdcard/DCIM/Camera))

                            TrustExecutor What kind of features specifically? I tried Magic Eraser and it worked but not sure what's new in Pixel 9 or anything specific

                                Thanks for the quick support, awesome!
