In January, I wrote why I no longer recommend OnePlus. This is an example of one of their phones (OnePlus Nord) since the Android 11 update.
Not all of their phones are this bad, but if GCam is very important for you, check the limitations before upgrading to OxygenOS 11.
-----
The current situation with GCam on the OnePlus Nord and OxygenOS 11 is the following:
1. You need to use the "snapcam" package of each apk (edit: apparently "eng" and "urnyx" also works).
2. If you use a different package, only the main back and front cameras work.
3. Stay on Android 10 or move to a custom ROM to access all cameras.
OxygenOS 11 + the "snapcam" package:
Front main
Front wide
Rear main
Rear wide
Rear macro
Rear depth
OxygenOS 11 + other packages:
Front main
Front wide
Rear main
Rear wide
Rear macro
Rear depth
On OxygenOS 10 or custom ROMs, with any package name:
Front main
Front wide
Rear main
Rear wide
Rear macro
Rear depth
Maximum resolution for the rear main camera is 12MP on all ROMs (Oxygen 10, 11, custom ROMs, etc).
If you have a OnePlus phone and are affected by this, report a bug on their forums. Inform them that they are blocking access to the auxiliary cameras for all 3rd party camera apps: https://forums.oneplus.com/feedback/
