Hello, I'm a new user of CalyxOS and wanted your opinion about Google Camera and Signal.

I'm afraid of battery draining with Signal so I installed MigroG.

For google camera, I don't want to use google photo. So I can't directly open photos taken with Gcam with my gallery app. I installed Gcam photo preview but it's not really good IMO (I can't edit/share/delete).

Before calyx, I used Gcam-Services-Provider (without micoG), works like a charm !

So I wanted to know, do you have draining battery without microg ? Do you find a way to open photo with another app without google photo ?

thanks !

I installed a modified g-cam app, it is normally a hit or mis, a year ago, I had a older version, but the galary wouldn't open from the camera app, however now I can, its not perfect anw would crash now and then but it is stable enough for my needs. It can approve but I would get back to the developer site for testing newer versions after I have made a backup.

I ask to the developer of gcam service provider : https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/issues/116
