I have installed GCam 8.7.250_V14 by BSG on OnePlus7 (not Pro).
SlowMo is black.
Front camera may lock the app – in portrait mode.
Can any suggest configs that might improve success?
Thanks for the port BSG
Hello Jon.
Thank you very much for writing this review.
I will take a look at it and find you a good config if at all available.
Doesn’t work for oneplus7pro, the ultra wide isn’t usable. The front camera doesn’t work.
Which version are you pointing to?
You need to load a config xml file. Details:
