When I had kids I noticed that the camera quality was quite bad (e.g. on Samsung Galaxy S5 or S7), so I basically switched back to stock.

Is this still the case? My guess is that Lineage doesn't get the drivers necessary for better quality maybe.

It can be complicated. I don’t remember the whole story, but I think on the older Xperias you’d have to take care to reinstall the proprietary drivers and there were keys that could be permanently lost and then you’d be out of some of the enhancements.

I managed to install gcam on my LOS phone, and quality was way better
