Project Abandoned?

Is this not being updated? The latest version of Google Recorder is v1.1.289058594, but the latest release is v1.1.284933798. Also, how would I be able to do this myself on Windows?

Sorry, I didn't check for version number updates regularly due to no newer changelog provided in the updated version.

Also, how would I be able to do this myself on Windows?

You can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Also, you need a keystore generated by keytool.

The v1.1.289058594 version is released.

@Xmader can you please check my issue https://github.com/Xmader/google-recorder/issues/1

The app is no longer restricted to PIXEL devices. See here: https://techpp.com/2019/11/01/download-google-recorder-apk-live-transcribe/

So, you don't have to sodomize Google anymore :smirk:

The article is true only for v1.0. I can't even get Google Recorder v1.1 working on my Pixel XL (first gen).

@Xmader well, FWIW I am running the latest version on a non-PIXEL device. And a on a 1st gen PIXEL installed from the app store.

How can I get the exception not thrown in the application's main class on devices without the com.google.android.feature.PIXEL_2017_EXPERIENCE system feature (which should only present on Pixel 2 and later)?

pseudocode

package com.google.android.apps.recorder.ui.application;

import android.app.Application;

public class RecorderApplication extends Application {
    // …
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        if (isDevBuild() || getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature("com.google.android.feature.PIXEL_2017_EXPERIENCE")) {
            // …
            return;
        }
        throw new IllegalStateException("Cannot start Recorder on unsupported device");
    }
    // …
}

And a on a 1st gen PIXEL installed from the app store.

What?

Heh weird... I am now also getting the "incompatible" message for the PIXEL.

But it is running on my ODROID with LineageOS:

I wonder if LineageOS is fooling it somehow?
