matchboxbananasynergy to be fair I'm just really happy with graphene. Its come on so far, and being able to use google play store now has made the phones practical for everyone. My gf and my elderly mother use the gos pixels without any issues what so ever

    The release is now in the alpha channel. The toggle that controls direct TPU/GXP (the latter only being relevant to 7th gen Pixels) access is enabled by default, so if you want the best performance, you shouldn't need to do anything.

    If for whatever reason you want to disable it, you should be able to find it in Settings > Apps > Special app access under "Special access to hardware accelerators for Google apps".

      matchboxbananasynergy thanks for the swift and informative reply.

      If the option is in the owner profile , but the google camera app is in the user profile, will this acceleration still work in the user profiles

        Wow, I really didn't expect this to be fixed! Thanks so much \o/

        Thank you for this! Quick question on how this work, would this toggle enable it for any application, is this on bundle name? 'com.google.android.GoogleCamera'?

        Reason why I'm asking is because I like to tinker with Gcam to unlock additional features, those typically have bundle names like:

        • com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng
        • com.samsung.android.ruler
        • com.agc.gcam92
        • org.codeaurora.snapcam
        • com.samsung.agc.gcam92
        • com.ss.android.ugc.aweme

        And I found this thread whilst searching for reasons why my gcam ( com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng) seems slow. Thanks!

            nexustexas No, it works the same way as the stock OS. It has signature checks. You can't bypass the access control model by using the same application name. We have no plans to expose this functionality beyond where the stock OS does.
