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

    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.

        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

          what about GMSCompatConfig?,

          not sure what this is

          it’s reasonably innocuous

          that is good to hear

          ’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…

          yeah that could be the reason I guess?
