How to Add XML Config File in Any GCam Mod?
If you are a fan of the Google Camera (GCam) app, you might have heard of XML config files. These are files that contain various settings and parameters for the GCam app, such as exposure, saturation, noise reduction, HDR+, portrait mode, etc. By using XML config files, you can customize the GCam app to suit your preferences and device capabilities.
But how do you add XML config files in any GCam app? In this blog post, I will show you the steps to do it easily and quickly.
What is GCam Config File?
A GCam Config File is an XML file that contains camera settings for different scenarios when using the Google Camera app on Android devices. These settings include exposure time, ISO, white balance, and other parameters that affect image quality. GCam Config Files can be downloaded and applied to the GCam app, which then automatically applies these settings to the camera. This allows users to quickly switch between different configurations without having to adjust the settings manually.
GCam Config Files are useful for enhancing the camera performance of various Android devices that support GCam ports. GCam ports are modified versions of the Google Camera app that enable features like enhanced HDR+, Night Sight, Astrophotography, and more on devices that are not officially supported by Google. GCam ports are developed by various developers like Parrot, Arnova, urnyx, etc. and require different Config Files depending on the device model and GCam version.
