Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.
Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).
Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.
An Android camera having a Russian telegram channel basically puts this on the no list for me, dog.
Like, I barely care to even hear their reasons.
It’s Russian AND Telegram? Does it come with hepatitis too?
Uhm. It is important to remember that people are not the extension of the government they live under.
If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.
Telegram is involved with the shadier end of the crypto market, and for a market that’s shady enough as it is without needing a shadier part, it’s pretty damn dark in there.
It isn’t even viable for their uses. They should consider
movingupgrading to Matrix or Signal.I am absolutely on your side regarding telegram. I was talking about the tool highlighted here.
I was about like… “Am I on Lemmy?”
If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.
No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don’t have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.
Tbf telegram also seems fairly popular in less problematic areas for sime reason (it’s quite populare in ukraine as well for example)
I didn’t check their Telegram. I just founded this on F-Droid and share it here.
Totally fair. I am just pointing it out here because it felt a bit icky when I saw it on the github page.
It keeps asking me to allow it to connect to the internet. What for?
Most likely Google firebase and crashlytic.
According to ExodusPrivacy on aurora store it has 2 trackers, cashlytic and firebase
Supposedly the version on Github releases doesn’t have the Google libraries.

Still, I would wait until this app is in F-Droid before considering it. It includes some other libraries of unknown source.
Hey, it looks pretty neat! Finally I found a Foss camera that can use the wide len of my phone. I’ll be trying it for a while.
Impressive, it seems like higher quality then google cam, it has potential
Alas can’t install it on my phone (xperia 1ii) because “unsupported device”. Bummer, it seems actually great.
You tried Izzy on Droid version?
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.particlesdevs.photoncamera
Yep, no dice, that’s why I came here to complain lol. Both Fdroid w/ Izzy on Droid and the Play Store say its “incompatible” with my phone
Oh
Looks like my s10 won’t run it either unfortunately
Opening the app for the first time on my Fairphone 5 (listed as unsupported) actually crashed the OS, but after that it seems to be working ok.
Closing out of the in-app gallery causes the app to crash. But that can easily be worked around by using some other gallery app.
I’ll be testing it for a bit to see how it fares against other HDR methods…
Same experience on my Fairphone 5, first crashed the OS when I tried accessing the gallery.
Now it is working but the pictures have like dead pixels on them.
FP5 using e/OS here showing the same artifacts.
Wtf is ApplicationDebuggable anti-feature?
It means it’s Debug Build. APK is signed by Build Key not Dev Key.
Ahh thanks!
It seems to work just fine on OnePlus 9 Pro but says “Warning unsupported device” when it starts.
Has anyone found the supported device list? It seems to work well on mine but still says it isn’t supported.
Tried it on an older Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Can’t zoom, can’t switch to wide-angle lens. Camera does not balance brightness by the focus point. Otherwise pictures look pretty much the same.
I suppose this was made for specific devices in mind?
which formats does it support?

It’s available in the Izzy on droid repo, you’ll have to add the repo to the f-droid app with the following URL:
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=3BF0D6ABFEAE2F401707B6D966BE743BF0EEE49C2561B9BA39073711F628937AOr scan the QR code here: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/
It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.
Hello.
Hopefully, feedback is appreciated.
Searched on Google Play with no results, same on F Droid.
Thanks.
