Google camera on Moto g5 plus without root

[ms225]

When I try to install Google camera on my g5 plus,it says the app is not compatible with the device.Any ways to make it work without rooting my device?

Nope
Not until Motorola brings Android Oreo to Moto g5 plus

You don't need root but you do need 64bit Oreo for any recent gcam.

Your right, I flashed camera2api enabler on magisk and now is working, maybe there's a way to enable camera2api without root.

There's also a way to just edit the build.prop by pulling it from adb, editing the file and pushing it back but I'm staying stock at the moment because of the fact that they void warranty just by unlocking bootloader. Also, I honestly haven't felt the need to unlock and change ROM.

maybe he refered to this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-enable-camera2-api-root-t3690366
but you need unlocked bootloader and twrp, keep in mind that this hava tested on redmi note 4 not on Moto G5

Since unlocking bootloader on moto is a bit different, replace the unlocking and relocking commands with your specific device and then maybe this would work. Make sure to backup your important data before trying this out, also correct installation of adb and fastboot drivers with usb debugging and oem unlock enabled is prerequisite.

The only reason if this might not work would be because of that nougat rom,
