Mit der Version 10.x der Google-Kamera-App (Pixel Camera) hat Google offenbar eine harte Abhängigkeit von den Play Services eingeführt.

Yes but the the pixel camera app has much better quality that the GOS camera or open camera. They cannot compete.

It's terribly frustrating I am so tired of google messing up Android (and their pixels). I use the google camera app on GOS and it needs the play store, Play services and the google photo...

    Specify how it has much better quality, then post that spec in some github of your favourite camera app.

    Your data is the price for the google app, it isn't free. They can do what they want with it. And you buy it.

    My advice for you is to shake off the google camera addiction and notice how good the alternatives are. Good enough for sure, and getting better. I have not missed google camera at all.

    Maybe try this freedcam as well.

    Graining is the worst offender on GOS Camera app. The lower the light the more graining.

    This is on GOS camera app 9107

    This is the official gcam 9108

    Pictures are taken on a Pixel 9

    Hopefully the image compression doesn't mess everything up

    I mean that's just physics. Less light entering the sensor = more grain as it boosts the brightness to compensate. They both take the same picture, but extra processing hides the flaws.

    Got to be honest, I prefer grain over a bunch of AI swirls.

    I mean the extra processing is worthy here is another example:

    GOS: 9116

    Gcam: 9117

    I understand where you are coming from. Myself in my line of work google is actually my enemy however credits due where credit is due. I think it's at minimum somewhat disingenuous to consider the GOS camera as an equal of gcam. In low light the camera is not usable if I'm going out taking picture at cafés and what not with my GF in the evening or night it's just not possible.
