How to Load & Save XML Configs

Some GCam versions support import/export of .xml files, allowing users to quickly load the best settings for their phone.

Config files are stored inside a folder, which needs to be created manually using a file manager or automatically by saving your config:

• GCam 8.x: /GCam/Configs8/
• GCam 7.x: /GCam/Configs7/
• GCam 6.x: /GCam/Configs/

⚠️ To load a config, move the .xml file into this folder. Check instructions below.

⚠️ Some versions use a different directory. This is usually mentioned on the configs/changelog page.

The top folder, /GCam/, must be created on the same level as the DCIM, Downloads, etc, folders. Example:
