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.

    Wow Focus mode is awesome, was looking for something like that thanks! What’s the privacy policy of this app? No data collection?

    Edit: I’m guessing this is FOSS

      Sorry, I don’t actually know what you mean by “Focus mode”.

      I doubt it’s technically FOSS given that it’s a mod of a proprietary camera app usually limited to the Pixel phone line. It is free though.
