ik this is probably gonna be frowned upon, but would it be possible to make these cameras available inside waydroid then run GCam inside it? maybe that'll produce pretty good images
It's a great question. When degoogling my android phone camera quality was one of the biggest initial hurdles, currently resolved because Fairphone offers their native camera app to /e/OS. FOSS camera apps for Android sadly do not have competitive picture quality at all.
As pictures are important to me I could absolutely see it being one of the main hurdles when making the change from /e/ to proper Linux on my phone. I should probably find a way to preemptively start donating to the GNOME camera app.
