Always seeing the results on the rest of the screen without losing information or managing complicated bar interfaces. Something that the arcs of this application solve very well

How to install it on my Android mobile

Thank you to the developer Linuxct, who has dedicated time and knowledge to modify the APK file of the Nokia application to make it functional in more Android terminals. Of course, always keeping in mind that is not an official tool and that, for the moment, it is in test mode. Therefore, it is possible that you have some malfunction or incompatibilities.The best thing is to do the test to see if it works as it should in our terminal.

To do this we access the download page through XDADevelopers, a famous developer forum. Here we click on DOWNLOAD 8.0260.80 and confirm the action if we use the Google Chrome browser on our Android mobile.

Then click on the downloaded file in the notification bar or look for it in the download folder through a file explorer in our terminal. When the installation starts, the Android operating system will inform us that it is trying to install an application from outside the Google Play Store, and that for this it is necessary to activate the unknown sources function in the security settings of the terminal.It is a security requirement that we allow you to install applications that do not come from a secure source such as the Google Play Store. You must be aware, at all times, that the responsibility for this installation belongs to each user. And it is that, although XDADevelopers is usually a safe environment, there may be viruses or some malfunction that affects our terminal within the file.

After activating the Unknown Sources function, the installation is carried out automatically, as if it were a normal application. And, in a few seconds, we will have the Nokia camera application available on our Android mobile.

At the moment some problems in terminals such as OnePlus are already known Other terminals may encounter problems when displaying the results of the modifications live and direct, although they are applied to the photo taken.Therefore, it is best to check if the application works as it should in our terminal.
