- Many cheaper phones, especially when Android was new, never received updates.

Many users will doubtlessly find these words a bit confusing and for them here are some small explanations to clarify things. The main advantage of a custom ROM is having regular update support .
After downloading the apk file (how to find a good version), you need to install it. However, since it is a third-party app that is not officially supported by Google, some features of the app may not be fully compatible with certain Android devices. It is recommended to check if GCam APK is compatible with your device before installing it, and to only download the app from this firmware magiskzip.com. Check below how to check your phone compatible or not for GCam. In the build.prop editor, add the following command line and save it. In this camera app, you will get to see a lot of amazing features using which you can take better photos. I suggest you find other people using the same phone as you and see which port/version/settings they’re using.
Besides Samsung, the Flashfire app also works on Google, Motorola, Oppo, Vivo, Sony, OnePlus, Huawei, and many more Android devices. AndroidMTK is a fine alternative, it also offers a detailed list of Odin versions and download link. After downloading it on your PC, extract it to Desktop or another location you’d prefer.
Download one of the GCam APK port from above link for your phone and see how good or bad it is in comparison to the stock camera app. When you click on “get updates”, it initiates an internet connection that downloads a few kilobytes of data (libs) and stores them locally.
