  • I took this image with FairPhone 4, running LineageOS 22, using the default camera app.

    Tried playing around with some other camera apps from F-Droid, but all of them make pretty much same pixelated mess as the default.
    No idea what the reason for this is. Is the camera sensor on phone actually decent, but then some algos in camera app fail to optimise things or something?
    No idea, but I am quite often ashamed of sharing pictures with other people.

    Luckily I am a kind of person who takes more “utility” type of pictures. Markings on devices and other kind of informative stuff.
    If taking pictures of beautiful views and social events was important to me, I would probably not be using FairPhone 4. I would want to use it, but with the current state of camera on de-Googled phone, for artistic purposes, I could not.









  • LineageOS 22.2 (on FP4) does not seem to have that option yet.
    At least, it is not listed in the developer options.
    You can find it if you tap on the search button within developer options (or just general settings, as that also includes results from developer options) and type “terminal” or “linux”.
    The (Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Android result shows up.
    But after you tap on that, you see that toggle is greyed out. Can’t be enabled.

    I am interested in getting that to work, so any help is appreciated.
    There is hopefully some ADB command or something that forcefully enables Linux environment.
