How to Install xml config file on Nikita’s GCam?
- Download one of the xml config file (Nik-8.1-OP5-5T-non-root.xml) from the above download link of Nikita’s GCam 8.1.
- Once the GCam is installed, create the following directories on your phone’s internal memory and copy the downloaded xml config file there:
- First create a directory in the name of GCam (G and C capital letter) under the ROOT directory.
- Then create a directory named Configs7 for GCam 7.x or Configs8 for GCam 8.1 (C in capital letter) under GCam directory.
- Copy the xml config file in the relevant directory with respect to the GCam version you have installed.
- Now you can open the GCam app and double tap near the blank space beside the shutter button.See the below image to get an idea where to tap:
- When prompted, select the config file and tap on RESTORE to load. (do this twice as for the first time the config did not loaded)
- Once the xml config file is loaded, you are done with the installation.
New features keep coming on the Google Camera app and hence there could be many versions of these ported apps for OnePlus 5/5T. This page will have all available working GCam for OnePlus 5 / 5T.
Doesn’t seem to want to work with the front camera.
Why is the download link for Gcam 8.1 goes to the gcam 7.4 webpage?
Thank you for pointing out the mistake. It was a typo, basically a human error.
I have fixed the link and you should be able to download the GCam 8.1 mod.
Great that GCam 8.1 works on OnePlus5/5T but sadly SlowMo doesn’t work.
Can you please try the new GCam 8.1 in that link and let me know if it helps?
Test
