  6. I have flashed the TWRP and install the magsik manager. But on rebooting the phone my camera2api gets disable. Moreover even with the camera2api enabled I cannot successfully run a gcam app that works with front and back camera.After reading this article, I have check that and my anti rollback feature is at index 4. I already have TWRP in my Phone what should I do to permanently enable camera2api or disable the antiroll back feature while TWRP is already on the phone. also can you please recommend a gcam version of app that run without any issue.
