3. Observe only Magic Eraser is available

Expected behavior There be other tools like Best Shot and Unblur

Screenshots

System Android Version: 14 Custom ROM: Graphene with microG / Sandboxed GMS Disabled

Additional context I would guess the issue seems to be a Phenotype Flag missing to enable these features.

May as well enable other features like Pixel 8 Pro's Manual Mode while we're in here.

I get this issue too.

Could someone with a stock ROM paste the result of this command please (include also phone model info)? adb shell pm list features

From what I understand these features are actually completed online/cloud.

8 Pro's Manual mode is the only thing you can locally flip on.

(Not 100%)

I know for sure that some features influence Google Photos, maybe something is missing. So getting the full list from a stock Pixel phone and another list from the custom ROM would reveal it.

Resurrecting this to report that LOS21+MicroG (user app) on a P8P, despite having many other Pixel-related features, misses "com.google.android.feature.GOOGLE_EXPERIENCE" required to make the Google Camera be available to download in Aurora Store.

Maybe that's the one causing the missing tools in Photos too.

Could you please post the full list for comparison? adb shell pm list features

I am only aware of that bit, I don't have a device with the stock ROM to make a complete comparison.
