📸 Favorite camera app for Android? (beehaw.org)

I've actually just been using Signal's built in camera app, which has been fine, but doesn't seem quite up to par today (or maybe I'm just in a mood). Does anyone know if there's a way to reset Signal's camera app settings? Otherwise I just use Graphene's camera, which might also be fine (maybe I need to get my eyes checked). Anyway, any camera apps that automatically take great pictures? I'm trying to photograph some old drawings for posterity.

Love OpenCamera but it doesn't work for my FP5 (auto brightness randomly turns the screen black), so I'm using Graphene's atm as well. It's good, I like it.

Open camera is the best

Are there even other camera apps available worth mentioning for all ROMs ?

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 1 points 3 months ago

Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it

I'm using Google camera app on my galaxy S10. It's the app that is used in the google pixel but ported for different phones.

it's also definitely not open source.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago

Nope, definitely not.

I've been pretty happy with HedgeCam2 for still photos - good shots without mucking about in settings but there are tons of settings you can fiddle with

Op calls themselves hedge. Coincidence?

[–] hedge@beehaw.org 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, coincidence, I promise 🙂

Is HedgeCam2 open source?

[–] Kissaki@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like they publish source on release as a source zip https://sourceforge.net/projects/hedgecam2/files/

Iirc it's a fork of open camera so.... Sort of?

I dont really have a favorite. I use the Google Camera because of the Quality but without the Internet Permission. For quick pictures i use the Graphene OS Camera App. The Graphene OS gets actually better day by day so i might uninstall GoogleCamera soon.
