IT WORKS!!! Great work! Amazing! so far front camera only, and yeah, the image quality leaves something to be desired, but IT WORKS. AND it saves the .jpg with a date stamp filename in home/usr/pictures. LOVE IT

Mine does not work unfortunately. But it seems that nothing works on my PP.

It even takes cat pictures. Very exciting.

Your cat does not seem particularly pleased though :P

This is not working for me, on my Braveheart PinePhone. Here's the dmesg output:

Code:

Camera shows a test pattern when I run it, indicating that no cameras are detected at all.

I flashed Mobian to my SD card from the mobian-pinephone-20200707 image, then upgraded using "sudo apt upgrade" (only one package, pinephone-tweaks, was updated), then restarted.
