[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pm23:
Dear V20 fans,

Lets use this thread to find the best GCam (v6, v7) mod

I run all tests on LineageOS 16.0 / 17.1

=== FAQ ===

Q: What is the best GCam mod for LG 20?

A: trCamera_V7.1.apk

Q: Are configurations for the camera of G5 G6 G7Fit V34 Q8 Q9 also good for V20?

A: Yes, there is a common config for all of these models on this page available:

Q: Is GCam v7 better?

A:

In princial yes, as Google includes new features in every new version of Gcam.

For Android 10 / LOS 17.1, for sure, as GCam v7 has been developed for Android 10; it works on Android 9 as well, though.

The downturn is that v7 has less advanced settings available to play around with.

Q: Why use at the minimum GCam v6?

A: Versions below this do not support Night Sight, an amazing feature.

Q: I cannot save pictures / videos on Android 10

A: Perform this commands. Note: It does not work if you have the problem on Android 9

adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on

adb shell cmd appops set com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng android:legacy_storage allow
