[Guide] How to install Nokia Camera on non PureView device

Nokia Camera for Windows Phone and Nokia Refocus for Windows Phone are two apps exclusively available to the company's high end PureView smartphones. This means that if you own a Lumia phone without the PureView camera you won't be able to enjoy these apps.

Fortunately there is an easy hack which should allow you to install Nokia Camera on your non-PureView Windows Phone 8 device

Here are the steps:

1. Uninstall the Pro Cam and Smart Cam first
   -
2. Download and install SysApp Pusher
   -
3. Connect to your WiFi and in Settings > Wi-Fi tap your connection.
   -
4. Turn on Proxy and enter 103.13.29.118 (Alternative proxy: 117.135.139.179) in the Server box and 8888 in the Port box and save the setting.
   -
5. Go to Settings > Date+Time select any United States time zone.
   -
6. Then in Settings > Language+Region select your region as United States.
   -
7. In the same Settings page hit Restart Phone.
   -
8. After your phone restarts, open SysApp Pusher select Nokia Camera
   -
9. You should now get the option to Install. Hit install, but it will probably fail (again may take some time). Don’t worry. Keep the Store window open by hitting the Windows button, go to Settings>Wi-Fi. Tap your WiFi connection and switch off Proxy.
   -
10. Hit the phone’s Back button to get back to the installation page in the Windows Phone Store and select Install/Update again. This time it should work.
    -
11. Don’t forget to change your phone settings back to your Time Zone and Region and restart the device.
