Hi there,
thinking about getting a P6P and flashing LineageOS with microG to it.
Don't want to install PlayStore but Aurora Store (for Apps like Whatsapp...)
This setup works very well for me on a Moto G7 (even with Onlinebanking and stuff).
With this setup, is it possible to get the official GCAM for P6P from Aurora Store (without sideloading anything)?
Is this setup sufficient for running GCAM or are additional services/libs necessary?
Any experience with this?
Thank you folks!
Could t you use apkm mirror to download the app

Howdy all,
I just got myself a new Moto g7 Play,
and I was wondering if there is an .APK compatible to run Google Cam App (GCam) on this device?
Thanks
BSG mod works
The bsg mod from the first pixel, the 32 bits apk, works on my g7 play. I unlocked bootloader, rooted it with magisk, installed camera 2 api and added the Hal3 line in prop file and everything seems to work, including camera 2 api in apps like open camera. Keep in mind that latest gcams are 64 bits, so I think they do not work properly (I tried several apks and mods)
Is there a way to run GCam without rooting? The official instructions say that one just needs to install the .apk. Rooting isn't mentioned.
Honestly I don't know. I rooted my device before thinking about using gcam actually :/
Also, most stuff talking about using gcam in other devices besides pixel ones talk about rooting and getting camera 2 api.
But I think you can try to install it without root though
You could try one of the older gcam mod apks that did support 32bit but the newer ones that only use 64 bit cant be used and most the modded ones now also need to be on 64bit
Dear all LG G7 users, I would like to create this thread to discuss about ways of using LG G7 with all the basic features working and without Google Apps and Services.
I have a EU G7 with latest firmware and updates (Android 10) This is what I am looking for:
Working USB Tethering Hotspot and WiFi hotspot
Working Gcam
Working Bank Apps
Working microG
Good GPS signal
AOD - Always On Display (if possible)
DT2W - Double Tap to Wake (if possible)
I see there are a few ROMs like LineageOS 18.1, Dot 5, and others. But I am unsure of which one offers the stability I am looking for (not customization). It is ok to use Android 10.
I have downloaded the file from LG to unlock my bootloader, so I am ready my goal is to get rid of Google, and I am aware that with stock rom, even if I like it, it is not possible.
Thanks in advance for everyone who will join the discussion.

I thought custom ROMs based on Android 11 did not have USB tethering. So not even Android 10 based custom ROMs have it? That's strange that a paid app like PDANET allows USB tethering

Because the app itself allow it through their own method. its not using android's implementation. And no, not even android 10 roms have it working on g7
Hi there, I am still here, trying to find a way of minimizing the Google impact in the stock ROM.
Could someone please update me if a custom rom has USB tethering working? And if the answer is still a big NO, is there a way to debloat or degoogle the stock rom via unlocking bootloader and root? Ideally I would love to replace Play Services with microG, or at least remove Play Services while keeping the phone booting. Any advices are appreciated.
EDIT: seems like this is a viable option for me, anyone tried? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/
For other searching here: I just installed AOSPK from Emanuel (telegram group) and it is Android 12 based. Here USB-Tethering works out of the box and the ROM does support signature spoofing so microg can be used right away.
I'm Running A Snapdragon-powered S20 on Google Fi.
I'm still using OneUI 2.5 because I could easily sideload Google Dialer (with visual voicemail) and GCam (only for the front camera main lens).
I use these apps all the time instead of stock samsung. Is there any equivalent set of versions of these sideloadable (no root) apps that someone has tested as working on 3.1? or am I stuck with the Nov 2020 security update?
(Note: am noob/enduser, so looking for a simple solution: don't want to root, or reflash ROM etc....) Many thanks.
Sooo...I bit the bullet and updated to 3.1
My old sideloaded dialer & camera work fine; no need to answer this..... Mea culpa!
Hello everybody!
I have downloaded and installed Lineage OS on my Poco F3.
It's a great device but there are some software problems that really bugs me (proximity sensor is a mess, some GUI element are not good for usability, the "everything you need, nothing you don't" thing and then the phone is full of useless apps that i don't need...)
Lineage OS solved all of my problems except for one: the camera.
I'm realizing that there is no real alternative for the native camera app because it offers you the full potential of the hardware with all the features.
Don't get me wrong: i tried Open Camera, GCam Port and other popular apps.
Really good projects but there is always something missing or not working.
In addition on Lineage some camera apps are just not available on the Play Store (for example Footej Camera... using another store, dumping the APK from another device... all useless... the app will recognize my device as not compatible).
Why is that?
Lastly i even tried to install the stock APK on Lineage without success.
What is your opinion on that?
What are the software limitations involved?
Is this a limiting factor for you?
What camera app do you use?
Best regards.
I'm not someone who uses camera that much but I can tell you that I totally agree with people who think that native camera is the best. I use Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and there is no alternative to camera which comes originally. That's one of the reasons why I tend to use ROMs with camera very close to stock one or even the same like stock one.
Lineage is known to cripple cameras.
you sound pretty knowledgeable, so i'm probably not offering much here... but, ANXCamera (miui camera port) is being worked on for our device, as far as i can tell... the following is copied from T.Gram... may show promise later on, but for now it's not fully functional
How get ANX working (partially)—
1. Download the MiUI Core from here (MOD EDIT: Link Removed)
2. Download the latest ANX (full version modded for R) from here (https://camera.aeonax.com/)
3. Flash the MiUI Core and ANX Zip through Magisk
4. Reboot
5. Paste the device-feature XMLs (MOD EDIT: Link Removed) in–
/storage/.ANXCamera/features/
6. Download ANXCamera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aeonax.camerapro) from the Play Store and use it to enable all the desired features in ANX.
What doesn't work for now:
UW, Macro and 48MP
I currently have LOS 18.1 on oneplus 9 pro, the august 17th release and I don't have google services.
I'm wondering wheter there is a way of using the camera array properly as it would have been on oxygen OS. I mean, currently I can only use the main 48mpx camera and that's it. what I cannot do:
- using ultrawide camera lens
- recording more than 30 fps videos
I already tried Opencamera and Hedgecam2, none of them allows me to do that. gcam is out of the equation since I have no google services, but I strongly believe these issues are not caused by the camera apps but by LOS.
what can I do to improve LOS and fixing these issues?
Just go back to OOS my friend. That's what I had to do.
I personally love AOSP based roms but I don't think their integrated camera/gcam is stable enough, for now at least.
I myself tried Evolution X for about 2 weeks. The battery gets a major improvement if compared to OOS, but that's about it.
It can be used easily as a daily driver but the lack of OnePlus camera and many other features which were available in OOS led me back to it.
I'm currently running latest OOS with magisk updated.
I'll probably return to cRdroid/EvoX after their camera issues get resolved.
I just want to keep this for a while, if the problem do not goes away I'll have to install OOS and perform a GMS removal.
Why not gcam with microg? I've used microg just for gcam and disable network access to it and there you go, gcam with privacy.

there is no way you can install gcam in LOS without GMS.
then you are locked without camera features

He is suggesting you install microg; a cleaner fork of GMS, I am using it currently on my 7TPro and Gcam is working just fine with microg.
Is there not a way to pull the OOS camera and install it on LineageOS?
