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?
How can a phone and a custom ROM reach end of life?
The phone’s manufacturer (Google in my case) may stop pushing firmware updates, allowing vulnerabilities to remain unfixed and exploitable.
The custom ROM’s maintainers may lose interest in the project, or the project may stop supporting the phone in question, again allowing vulnerabilities (this time in Android’s source code) to remain open.
