BigKaka’s AGC9.2.14 V14 GCam mod, available here, now supports photosphere, all onboard cameras, and all modern V9 camera features on Pixel 9 series of phones. No need for a config (tested on my Pixel 9 Pro).

Previous GCam mods (I tried quite a few) either:

  • Weren’t based on more recent GCam versions, so were missing features
  • Had working Photosphere but none of the other features worked
  • Only the main camera worked.
  • It just plain crashed on start.

To remind everyone, Photosphere was taken off from the Pixel 8-series onwards. While there were workarounds for Pixel 8-series users, Pixel 9 users have been stuck without it since launch.

As a big fan of the feature, I’m glad I can now use it again without having to switch between camera apps to take normal pictures or worrying about crashes.

    Until recently, I think you could do it with the Street View app, but apparently that has now been discontinued. Not sure what you can do now.

      I used a 360 camera app on iOS for years. Probably 2010 to 2016. Don’t think there’s been a decent replacement or alternative since it was removed from the app store.

      iOS is enshittifying too.
