how to enable motion sense in pixel 4 in India. using adb

Issue

I found that we can enable motion sence in pixel 4 in India using ADB from here

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/01/pixel-4-root-users-can-now-enable-motion-sense-in-restricted-countries/

I tried it but I getting an error

C:\Users\kanak\OneDrive\Desktop\LoseQuarantineFat>adb shell setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override true Failed to set property 'pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to 'true'. See dmesg for error reason.

C:\Users\kanak\OneDrive\Desktop\LoseQuarantineFat>adb shell "setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override true; setprop ctl.restart zygote" Failed to set property 'persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to 'true'. See dmesg for error reason. Failed to set property 'ctl.restart' to 'zygote'. See dmesg for error reason.

i also wanna know doing root is safe or not ??

Solution

OsloFeedback, the app that’s responsible for handling Motion Sense gestures, has a hidden debug flag that disables all regional checks. With this debug flag set to true, your Pixel 4 will let you use the gestures no matter what carrier your SIM card is connected to.

In order to set this flag, you’ll need to first unlock the bootloader and root your phone with Magisk.

To enable the sensor, you will need to run adb command: adb shell setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override true to enable it temporarily OR run adb shell “setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override true; setprop ctl.restart zygote” to enable the sensor permanently.

Disclaimer: Pixel 4’s motion sensors use radar technology which is governed at a national level. Enabling the senor without the explicit approval from the government is illegal and can get you in trouble. Proceed at your own risk.
