While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Such a shame that this kind of issue is a thing in the first place. I'd love to use a Fairphone and slap DivestOS on it, but potentially losing two lenses I paid for isn't great at all

[-] jane232@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

I think that should work, due to DivestOS being a fork of LinageOS just like eOS, and in fact the camera of eOS is just the cam of LinageOS (thats what i meant with supplychain problem). So i assume that DivestOS might just have the same camera app as eOS

But you could probably confirm that by looking into the repos

Now that you say it, I've never thought about the default cam, I've always been using OpenCamera

[-] jane232@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yeaa but the open tool being sold for profit they are not my go to apps anymore...

But I still need to switch my calendar to the newly made fork

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Do you mean simplemobiletools? OpenCamera is not part of that, I believe theirs is called Simple Camera

[-] jane232@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Ohh you are right, I mixed that up...

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

So I just installed the default lineage cam again, and would you look at that, it can use both lenses on my OnePlus 5T. Would love to have more manual controls though.

Thank you so much for reminding me this app exists

[-] jane232@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yes that's what drove me to gcam

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Oh well, having aurora store installed for one single app isn't worth it to me. My second lens is for night mode shots, and I barely use that. It's just nice to have access to it at all.

[-] jane232@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

I actually installed gcam via apk

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

True, that's an option too. Just not one you can trust as much, which is what turns me off.
