About this list:

Versions known to work on many phones. They may not be the best APKs, but they're more likely to work on your device. Useful for new users.

Check the "how to use" page to learn how to find a good version, how to install it, and compatibility information. If you need help, check the frequent questions page or find a forum thread or group for your phone. Files are grouped by GCam version (differences between versions).
