How to Install Google Camera on an Android phone?

Required downloads and guides to install GCam / Google Camera APK port

1. First verify if your phone already has the Camera2 API installed or not using the Manual Camera Compatibility app.
   
2. If it shows all features are supported, then you can just download the compatible GCam APK for your phone.
3. If the Manual Camera Compatibility app reports that your device does not support manual settings, then you need to install the Camera2 API using a custom recovery.
   
   Installing a custom recovery requires an unlocked bootloader in most of the cases.
   
   • Download the Camera2 API zip file and a compatible GCam APK file for your phone.
   • Restart your phone in Recovery Mode
   • Install the Camera2 API zip file from the recovery.
   • Restart your phone normally and then install the GCam APK file for your phone.

That’s all for now. I hope this list is helpful for many users. If you don’t find your phone in the list, you can leave a comment and I will try to get a working GCam mod for your phone.
