Wondering what people are thinking about this and why the internet is so quiet about it. I am not happy. Today it decided I couldn’t use the camera without giving it extensive permissions and agreeing to it. Not cool.

    What?

    This isn’t iOS. You don’t need to change the whole operating system to use a different camera app. Just install Open Camera and disable the built-in app.

      Sandboxed apps on GraphenesOS so if you do decide to use the Google Camera app to access the more advance features then you can still do it without giving google everything.

      I.e. motoG had an erase motion AI function, as well as other AR tools but only if you used the Google Camera app, other camera apps wouldn’t leverage it

      I think they are getting at is you can still use the Google camera app on Graphene with Network Permissions denied. Open Camera is a great app but I found the pictures came out way worse. I hate Google as much as the next guy here but their camera app is superior.
