Google pixel 4 camera apk mod Continue Smartphone cameras have come a long way over the last few years, and even budget phones these days have cameras that are very good. You can capture some cute photos with the sub-Rs 15,000 smartphone today. However, if you use phones other than Google Pixel smartphones that have been touted to have the best smartphone camera by many, you would notice that the image quality on other smartphones (even some flagships) is not even so comparable. Fortunately, the image quality can be greatly improved by using a different camera app than the default one that comes baked into the device. Yes, I'm talking about the Google Camera Mod (better known as the GCam Mod or GCam port) that is quite often talked about and does, in fact, make a noticeable difference in the output of your smartphone camera. So, if you're wondering how to install a GCam Mod on your Android smartphone, we have you covered by this in-depth guide. Preliminary requirements Before you can install the GCam Mod on your phone, there are a few things you should check out: Support for the Camera2 API (we'll talk about camera2 API later in this article). If the Camera2 API is not supported, you need to include it on your phone (we'll discuss it later). GCam Mod APK (you guessed it, we'll discuss that later, too) you also need patience. What is Camera2 API? The Camera2 API is a system that allows developers to access granular camera controls, such as exposure, focus, or ISO, which they can then bake in their third-party apps in the form of advanced features to offer Android users an improved shooting experience. This API is the successor to the original Android camera API and uses the conveyor model, allowing developers to have direct access to camera hardware. Third-party developers can use the Camera2 API to provide complete manual control of the phone's sensor, lens and flash to provide better frame rate (explosion mode of 30 frames per hour), raw capture support, HDR control and other smart features. Google Camera uses some sophisticated algorithms and AI features in its app to capture some stunning photos. Here are all the camera controls that the Camera2 API offers: Well, I hate to break it for you, but the Camera2 API was originally introduced four years ago on Google I/O 2014 along with the debut of Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's been quite a while since the Camera2 API debuted, but not all phone manufacturers, even today, have implemented the same thing on their devices. Many flagship and medium-sized smartphones now come baked with the Camera2 API, however, it's not necessarily that it's enabled by default. Some phone manufacturers use some camera2 API capabilities to offer manual Support filters and other excellent features for users, but full support is still missing on most phones. In case you're wondering if your your Phone supports Camera2 API or not, here's a great method to check the same thing: How to check if your phone supports the Camera2 API To see if any of your Android smartphones support the Camera2 API, you just need to install the Camera2 API probe app (free) from the Play Store. Just install the app and run it. Camera2 Probe results for the zenFone Max M1 (left) and Nokia 7 Plus (right) As you can see in the screenshot above, the Camera2 API probe app lists the level of hardware support for the rear and front-facing cameras with the ID camera being 0 and 1 respectively. It shows information about the capabilities of the Camera2 API, which is supported by your Android smartphone, and here's the meaning for each of the camera levels: LEGACY: These Android phones support only Camera1 API. Camera2 API2 features are not available here. LIMITED: These phones support some but not all camera2 API capabilities. Full: These phones (including Poco F1) support all the basic capabilities of the Camera2 API. LEVEL_3: These devices support YUV recycling and raw image capture, as well as additional output flow configurations. This means that the XenFon Max Pro M1 does not include support for the Camera2 API and support for the same will need to be enabled before installing the Google Camera Mod, while the Nokia 7 Plus is Level_3 compatible and modified camera app can be directly installed on this smartphone. How to turn on the Camera2 API If your phone has a camera2 API enabled, you are pretty much set. However, if your phone doesn't support the Camera2 API, don't worry because you can turn on the Camera2 API yourself, rooting the device, and edit the build.prop file on your phone, or use Magisk to enable Camera2 API. Whichever path you choose, it is up to you, and we will explain both processes to some extent here yourself. Note: Rooting an Android device is not a very difficult task, but it is very dependent on the device, so it is not possible to explain it in detail here. We recommend you go to XDA and look for rooting guides for your smartphone for a detailed, step-by-step tutorial. Build.prop editing If you want to edit build.prop and don't use the Magisk module, all you have to do is download the BuildProp Editor app (free). Start the app and give it root permissions. Then click on the editing icon. At the end of the build.prop file, enter the next line and then click on the save icon. persist.camera.HAL3.enabled-1 Just restart the phone, and the Camera2 API should be enabled now. Using the Magisk Module There's a Magisk module that you can also use to enable the Camera2 API on your phone. The module called Camera2API is available through XDA and you Just install it on your phone using Magisk Manager and it will allow the Camera2 API for you. How to set Google's mod camera on on Android Phone Once you've turned on the Camera2 API on your phone, or if you missed all these things because your phone already has a Camera2 API enabled, you just have to install a Google Camera Mod on your phone.
