I've been using a degoogled customROM on a Pixel phone for years now. As a camera app I've been using firewalled Gcam, i.e. the official Google camera app, but forced to be offline.

Since the phone and the custom ROM have reached end of life, I need to switch to a new phone, and I'm considering a FairPhone.

Hence, I'd like to ask all users of degoogled FairPhones: which camera app do you use, and how well does it work as compared to stock?

I use an /e/os fairphone 6 and the stock camera. Hadn't felt the need to switch to another camera app as it works fine (though I only used it to quickly snap pics and not tried to get any fancy sunrise shots etc)

Any idea what the default cam is on /e/OS? Is it opencamera?

AFAIK the default one on the /e/os fp6 is fairphones own camera app. You can toggle the /e/os camera app in the settings, which is a fork of openCamera
