a newer Pixel phone with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS installed on it.
If I could keep the good camera with Graphene, I'd be set.
You can still install the Google camera app alongside the GrapheneOS camera app. Double tapping power button still takes you to the built in camera (but you at least have the option of either app). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
you should be able to change the camera app launched when double pressing the power button.
On CalyxOS my double press opens the Google Camera. I think because I disabled the default camera app.
I agree that you should be able to change which app opens with double tap. But AFAICT you cannot on GrapheneOS build 2024082200. Someone please enlighten me, if you know a way.
I'm on the most recent GrapheneOS with both the Google Camera app and the Graphene camera app installed and enabled, and can confirm the double tap of the power button can be set to open the Google Camera app! Downside is I have no idea how I did it 😅
As another user mentioned, try disabling the default camera app and see if it defaults to the other one.
I'm unable to disable that app (app.grapheneos.camera). Its greyed out. I assume I did get a prompt initially asking me to "Complete action using Camera" and I hit "Always." That was before I found and installed the Google camera (com.google.android.GoogleCamera). So I'm still stumped how to alter that double-tap "Open by default" to a different, non-built-in camera app (and I can't seem to find anything in settings). Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to know. Thanks all!
Dang, you're right. This forum post looks relevant, so check the steps they did. And make sure any settings you set are in the main profile.
I don't have the Google Camera installed so I'm not going to go through the steps to test it, but hopefully something there helps.
this is what I get when I double press the power button
I'm certain I initially saw the screen you just posted. I hit "Use a different app" and hit Camera, then later chose Always. Any idea how to alter that double tap behavior to a different camera app (that's not built into Graphene)? That's the situation I'm in now. Thanks!
