Google Photos Unlimited is a Zygisk-based root module that grants devices free, unlimited backup storage. It achieves this by injecting a dex file and native hooks to spoof Pixel-exclusive device properties directly into the Google Photos application without modifying system files.
I tested this module because I was tired of hitting my Google account storage limits. Under the hood, it temporarily tricks the app into thinking my phone is a Pixel device, granting free backups without breaking anything else. Since the injection runs entirely in-process, it hasn't messed with my custom ROM or triggered any overall system instability.
Core Features
- Systemless injection means the tool alters the backup tier in-memory, leaving your
/systempartition completely untouched. - Granular advanced settings allow you to easily toggle specific fake device signatures or properties if they conflict with other root mods.
- Built-in DenyList scripts automatically attempt to stop the Photos app from blocking the necessary hooks during each reboot.
- Universal ROM compatibility ensures the exact same Pixel properties are pushed regardless of what phone model or custom firmware you actually run.
Support & Requirements
- Root Access: Requires Magisk (with Zygisk enabled), KernelSU, KernelSU Next, or APatch.
- Dependencies: If using KernelSU or APatch, you must have the Zygisk Next or ReZygisk module installed.
How to Install
- Download the latest release
.zipfile to your device storage. - Open your root manager (Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch) and flash the downloaded file in the modules section.
- Reboot your device, snap a test photo, and swipe up on the image to verify the details say it does not count against your account storage.
