About Gcam-Services-Provider

Gcam-Services-Provider is an open-source Android utility that simulates only the necessary Google Play Services APIs to run Google Camera (Gcam) on devices without Google Play Services installed. It provides three no-UI, app-drawer-hidden flavors (basic, photos, photosonly) with varying feature sets, and does not require root access, signature spoofing, or unnecessary permissions like internet or storage access. For non-photosonly flavors, it requires a compatible Android OS or modded Gcam, and does not support Gcam versions 10.x and newer.
