I've always used Google Camera on GOS for this reason.
It's the one Google app I use. I believe I have it sandboxed effectively, although I'll admit that I'm not knowledgeable enough to really confirm that.
Installing Google Camera to be able to have a good camera was a compromise I was prepared to make, and three years later I'm still happy with that compromise, although it might or might not be one that others would accept on their own devices.
@sneak, was there anything other than the camera about GOS that you considered a shortcoming?
- MerelyMortal 3y agoGoogle Camera on GrapheneOS on my Pixel 5 doesn't work very well. I can take several quick pictures, then about after picture six, it starts taking several seconds per picture (the picture-taking-button grays-out and does not do anything).
- 0x6c6f6c 3y agoThis isn't unique to GOS. I've had this issue with Google Android Pixels for years, and owned the 3, 3a, 4a, 5, and 6a now. It's _always_ been an annoyance of mine and is definitely not exclusive to just my latest phone.
- amenhotep 3y agoThis seems likely to be hardware limitation rather than software? Assuming the phone works anything like the DSLRs I've had experience with do. Photos get sent to a fast buffer when taken and then written to the slower memory in the background - initially you can take photos as fast as the buffer will accept them, but once it's full you're limited by the write speed of the main storage.
