How to Install GCam on Realme 5
The process of installing the app is fairly simple and does not involve importing any preset settings.
Download this particular Gcam app from here. Note that this is the one that we have tested and works best at the time of writing. We will update the article as and when we find better versions. Once downloaded, select the APK file from your file manager to install it. You may be prompted to enable installing apps from unknown sources which you need to allow. After the installation is complete, launch the app and you’re good to go.
Do note that since the devices are relatively new, there is no dedicated Gcam app for the phone yet, and hence you may notice muted colors due to lack of saturation levels. The details, however, are still better than the stock camera app. With time, there will be an optimized version of the app which we will update in this post. Also, Night Sight does a much better job when compared to the built-in Nightscape mode.

Similar to the port on the Realme 5, the one on the 5 Pro is not very optimized at this stage since the device is relatively new. With time, there will be better versions, so make sure you follow this post for updated links. The saturation seems to be a bit low and the detailing isn’t as sharp on this version. But again, Night Sight does a much better job than the Nightscape mode on the default camera app. While some Realme devices in the past did not come with camera2api support which is essential to be able to run the Gcam mod, they thankfully listened to their community and have now been supporting it on all their latest devices. Here are a few camera samples for you to take a look at so that you have an idea of what differences to expect.
