GCam Boost v1.1

Stable

6/13/2026, 10:57:30 AM

Added Pro-Res Zoom flags.
For Pixel 8 Pro it enables 20x zoom in Video Boost mode. I don't recommend using more than 5x zoom as it won't switch to Tele lens. Up to 5x is fine though. It also enabled up to 5x zoom in 8K Video Boost mode. 0.5x is broken for Video Boost.

Pixel 9 Pro users, please tell me if this version enables 0.5x lens in Night Sight/Video Boost or it's broken for you too.
