Install GCam on Redmi Note 8 Pro

2. Now, go ahead and install the APK. In case Android blocks the installation, tap on “Settings” and enable the toggle for unknown sources.
3. After the installation, open the file manager and locate the XML file. Now, move the XML file and paste it into the gcam -> configs folder on your internal storage.
Note: If you are unable to find the gcam folder, create one and rename it as “gcam” and then create a configs folder inside.
4. Now, open Google Camera and double-tap anywhere on the black bar around the shutter button. A dialog box will appear. Here, select the XML config file that you just moved into the internal storage from the drop-down menu. It should read “wyroczen_rn8pro_3.xml”. Finally, tap on the “Restore” button.
5. Now, you can use Google Camera on Redmi Note 8 Pro flawlessly. You don’t need to mess with the settings further as HDR+ is already in the enhanced mode.
