A quick update about GCam on the Nord:
- A dev (eszdman) found a way to access auxiliary cameras on phones with the same limitation as the Nord without root.
This means that GCam will be able to use all cameras without root.
- Arnova8G2 already has a testing version that can access 1) back main, 2) back wide, 3) back macro, 4) front main, and 5) front wide. Switching between cameras is buggy at the moment, specially moving between front/back. Urnyx05 is also rewriting the camera switch to better support phones with more than two back cameras and more than one front camera.
- This is great because not only versions from them will work on the Nord, but many other modders use their versions as base.
For now, you can use a version from "greatness". The camera switching between back/front isn't good and it doesn't support the front wide camera, but all other cameras work. If you want to try it:
1. Download and install this apk:
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.1.apk
2. Download and load this config file (
how to):
greatness2.1_nord_timo_based.xml (99% based on a version from Timo, thanks!)
Note: this config is crisp and a bit noisy. It's good for details, but might not please everyone.

In a few words:
- Still early days for GCam on the Nord.
- Improvements coming from the main modders "soon".
- Aux cameras will work without root.
- Apparently, OnePlus won't fix the aux limitation on their side. Thank the dev community for this, not OnePlus.
