Gcam-Services-Provider

This app "simulates" the Google Play Services that Gcam requires, allowing the camera app to be used on devices without Google Play Services. The app does not have a Ui for the simple reason that it is not needed.

According to a report in Android Police, Android 11, the next version of the world’s most popular mobile operating system, will prevent apps from using third-party camera software to take photos. Instead, the phone’s default built-in camera app will have to be used.

When taking photos, current versions of Android allow apps to display a pop-up camera picker from which the user can select their preferred camera app. However, this option has been removed in Android 11. 

This means users who installed popular camera apps such as VSCO, Adobe Lightroom or A Better Camera, will have to revert to their phone’s built-in camera software when taking photos or video from within another app. Users will still be free to use any camera app they wish by launching it directly. Only the camera picker option is affected.

The new restriction exists to prevent apps from grabbing your location without permission. Even if an app has been denied access to your location data, it’s still possible to circumvent this restriction when using third-party camera apps.

The problem arises because camera apps typically embed location data within their image files, and without the new restriction there’s no way to prevent this information from being returned to the calling app along with the photo. 

While I can understand Google’s reasoning here, the current solution feels like an unnecessary inconvenience that doesn’t completely solve the problem. Disabling the camera picker doesn’t prevent images, complete with embedded location data, from being uploaded from the gallery instead.

Anyone updating to a new version of Android will surely be surprised and frustrated to find such a convenient feature removed, so I hope a more elegant solution can be found sooner rather than later. A simple way for advanced users to re-enable the camera picker would probably do just fine.

.
Google's Pixel / GCam is a great, easy to use, feature rich camera app that competes well with the excellent open source Open Camera. GCam brings things like portrait mode, and easy to use slow-motion.

Because of this, there are many developers porting the app to work on as many phones as possible. GCam can increase the performance of your phone's hardware camera, and the ports can also bring the GCam app to DeGoogled phones.

GCam Hub is a website dedicated to tracking all the GCam ports.

Here is the 👉🏻 web page listing many Stable GCam Version:

You can work you way through the list until you find one that works on your phone, but then you may try 100 versions and never get one that works.

Keep in mind, these ports will not auto update.

Note: Shamim's SGCAM version 8.5.300 V5 works on Pixel 3a running Lineage.

If you find a version that works on your phone, let everyone know in the comments.
