Alternatives to Google Pixel Camera. (lemmy.ml)

I use basic Google Pixel Camera app that forces me to have Google Photos installed so I can view my photos. My workaround is just going to the gallery directly. I don't use GrapheneOS's camera as I've seen worse quality when comparing two. I heard of modded Google Camera's for specific devices. Any suggestions?

disable network comms for Gcam and install the magisk module that fakes the necessary services are installed (play store, photos) and you're good. the opensource variants are lacking, to say the least.

But for Magisk you're assuming that I have rooted my smartphone correct? I haven't...
