What is the Best camera app for grapheneOS on android?
People on reddit keep saying Pixel Camera is better but developer says there isn’t any difference.
Should I keep using the default grapheneOS camera or give Pixel Camera a try? And is there any third party camera (prefer Open Source) that is better than both?
thanks a lot
Just tested Pixel Camera is indeed better. Still looking for an Open Source alternative that could compete with it though
is it safe and private if i download it in my main profile but with network permission disabled?
That’s what I do, and no Play services on my device. Then you just need this if you want to be able to click on the photo preview and see your recent shots without having Google Photos installed: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.google.android.apps.photos
oh thanks a lot
As far as I know it needs Play store, Play services and GMSCompatConfig so you’ll be right back where you started. You can deny those things network permissions as well, but things tend to go awry when they can’t phone home, you end up having to enable and disable network on things to get other things to work. Personally I don’t trust it, good as the GrapheneOS devs are, it’s always a moving target.
It’s pretty quick to switch users, swipe down, swipe down, tap users, tap user, enter passcode (make it short) and you’re there.
I download it from aurora. So no play service on my phone and I can still use pixel cam
Cool (you’'re sure no Play Services not just no Play Store? what about GMSCompatConfig?, it’s reasonably innocuous, I’m just curious), in that case kill its network and profit. I couldn’t do that a couple of years back, might have to re-evaluate…
yes
not sure what this is though
yeah that could be the reason I guess?
