    K9 is not a Thunderbird fork, it was created as it's own thing. Recently it's been picked up by Mozilla to become Thunderbird for android with the original creator still on board.

    Oh I misunderstood then! I thought I read somewhere that it was a fork.

    It's actually the opposite, TBirdMobile is a fork of K9 (and it's basically just reskinned blue for now lol), they currently have feature parity but at some point (supposedly already, but I guess they delayed it because K9 got an update a couple months ago) K9 is set to stop receiving updates as they fully switch over to TBird.

    I also love K9, been using it since ~2012.

    At least for now, it is just blue K9, but so help me if Mozilla hurts my sweet app I'm gonna throw a fit lol.

    I tried to like OpenCamera, but the pictures just look awful compared to Pixel Camera, so I'm using that with network permissions denied. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or Google is just doing some post processing magic.

    The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it's been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don't know if they've fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
