Welcome to our Help Page! We understand that installing the GCam Port APK can sometimes be tricky, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here, we’ll address two common issues people face during the installation process: checking Camera2 API support and enabling Camera2 API.
Checking Camera2 API Support
Before you install GCam Port, it’s essential to ensure that your device supports Camera2 API. This API is crucial for the advanced features of GCam to work properly. Here’s how you can check:
- Download Camera2 API Probe App:
- Head to the Google Play Store and search for the “Camera2 API Probe” app.
- Download and install the app on your device.
- Check Support Levels:
- Open the Camera2 API Probe app.
- Look for the support levels of your camera. Ideally, you want to see “Full” or “Level 3” support.

How to Enable Camera2 API
If your device doesn’t support Camera2 API out of the box, you might need to enable it manually. This often requires some technical steps, but don’t worry, we’ll guide you through it:
- Root Your Device:
- Enabling Camera2 API typically requires root access. Make sure your device is rooted. If it’s not, there are plenty of guides available online to help you root your specific model.
- Edit the Build.prop File:
- Use a file explorer with root access (like ES File Explorer) to navigate to the system directory.
- Find and open the “build.prop” file.
- Add the following line to the file:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 - Save the file and reboot your device.
