  1. It's probably late in the day to ask this, but does anyone running @GrapheneOS have recs on how to best capture a photo of tonight's eclipse with their camera app?

  2. #HowTo use 2 separate camera apps on #Android depending on if the phone is locked or not.

    For the advanced hardware usage and mainly #jpegli compression I use #GoogleCamera on #GrapheneOS.

    But that camera is very bloated and exposes a ton of attack surface that way.

    Android asks twice which camera app to open when pressing the "double power button" shortcut, when locked and when unlocked. So you can set 2 different apps there.

    This is not exposed in the settings and the dialog only appears after installing or uninstalling one of the possible camera apps.

    As I had set #GCam as default apps on both invoking methods before, I quickly install #FossifyCamera, turn of the display, use the shortcut.

    Android asks to unlock the screen, then the selection dialog appears.

    I uninstall FossifyCamera again and do the same, dialog appears again, I select #GrapheneOSCamera there.

    Done! Attack surface when screen is locked reduced.
