I just talked to one of GCam developer about this. It seems that GCam is not gonna likely to work with Google Cam, because it is on MediaTek processor. Anyway, I have found that maybe all that is needed is to enable Camera2Api on this device. I am very close to do that, but I must do full backup before I do this. The problem is, that I can't seem to find TWRP (custom recovery for BV9800Pro). If You have any information that could help me fully backup my BV9800Pro (in case that I will need full recovery), please let me know. Help me to help You guys.

Hi!

Good news (mostly)! I have found the Google Cam (GCam) Mod that works on BV9800Pro. Tried all developers apps and I found that this app https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b-A10.apk or any other which has "A10" at the end does not crash.

I am able to shot panoramic, lens blur and photosphere images. However, in camera mode no photo is taking, when I switch to video mode the app crashes. Portrait mode and nightshot also does not seem to work...

Please participate and try different settings or different apps, write in xda-developers.com forum and let's find working GCam app for this device!
