Gcam-Services-Provider VS treble_experimentations

So when I install gcam services provider app https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider System says *package already exists.

My goal for today is to get photos as good as Google Camera, on my Graphene'd Pixel 4. GrapheneOS's camera just wasn't cutting it for me, so I installed this: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider And then Google Camera and Google Photos. I'm not logged into my Google account for Google Photos, and I used the above link in order to not install GSF.

You don't need microG to use Google camera, Gcam services provider is sufficient.

If you don't plan on using Gapps, you can use GCam Services provider and a GCam app.

you can try this instead: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

Get Gcam services provider - essentially the Camera/Photos

Its also important to note, that this app only works without google services if you install a fake-version of those services or have microG installed

If you have MicroG installed, you should be able to use it directly after installing and configuring it. In case you don't have MicroG you can also use this app which fakes the Google dependencies required to run GCam.

Pixel 4a with Graphene OS, only GCam Services Provider (https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider) to be able to use Google Camera. Implementation is super simple and it shouldn't take long to see that it actually does nothing.

Unlock and install LineageOS or one of other alternatives.

If you go to the GSI Github used in the video, the newest version available is 12.1, and this has not been yet built for a ARM-AONLY build, which is what Dylan suggested. I used the most recent ARM-AONLY build. If someone wants to try building ARM-AONLY for the newest release of GSI Android 12.1, I would love to hear their results. If someone wants to try flashing a different build like ARM64, I would be interested to hear the results of that as well.

Android 12 requires Linux 4.4 for proper networking and cgroup handling, which the Pixel 1 doesn't support. Skipping those requirements isn't a good idea.

p.s. status on this? thanks https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1...

Front screen doesn't work with GSI. After installing the Qualcomm IMS apk in the GSI's settings, it shows me a T-mo logo.

You can put a full GSI rom on the Cat S22 like I did! see

There is a reason, why phhusson is putting a lot of work into building their own GSIs even though Google releases official GSI builds. And yet, the list of issues is still long because minor things are broken on different devices.

I want to upgrade my Jelly2 to GSI 12.1. I'm okay with a potential soft-brick. Indeed, I just got this phone and haven't done anything with it yet, so if I have to re-flash it I'm fine with that.

FYI the CAT S22 works now with the Android GSI https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/2295

Or install Android AOSP from here
