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.
Yes, their flagships are great. I used them exclusively since the Z1 up until I got a Pixel for super cheap and a year of unlimited service thrown in. Not sure what the dev scene is like these days but part of the reason I switched was because it was pretty much stock Android which is what was modding the old phones to get to anyways, so I didn’t really follow it after switching.
I do know that their bootloaders are unlockable though.
