> ohmagoditfinallyhappened - LineageOS now has an awesome new camera app called Aperture! It is based on Google’s (mostly) awesome CameraX library and provides a much closer “to stock” camera app experience on many devices. Massive kudos to developers SebaUbuntu, LuK1337, and luca020400 who developed this initially, designer Vazguard, and to the entire team for working to integrate it into LineageOS and adapt it to our massive array of supported devices!

somebody tested the camera app already? photo quality was definitely a severe weak spot of LOS so far.

I’m curious about this as well. Are these packages open source as well? I’d love to peruse the camerax code -

This is because of the proprietary closed-source blobs needed to make many newer cameras work. Lineage can't redistribute that code or they would get into legal shit.

everybody here is aware of that ...

I was not. And I have created an app which does make use of the camera API when entering a geofence.

Can anyone confirm if the Aperture camera app is still fully functional when LineageOS is installed without GApps?

photo quality is 90% in image processing.

there is no open source camera/image processing that comes close to proprietary ones, so google camera is your best bet to have good photo quality
