PinePhone Pro: Camera App very laggy
#1
Hello all! 

I have installed the stable version of Mobian on my new PinePhone Pro. (mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-12.0.img.gz)

Now I noticed that the Camera app is very slow. In the Softwares About I found "0.1.0-net.flyingpimonster.Camera". Is it possible that the camera app is not up to date? The project Camera stoped in 219 and called now Snapshot, right?

Have you an Idea to solve the problem? Do you use maybe another app for shooting images?

Cheers - Martin

It is slow BUT will get faster as development has not long been working.

Bear in mind there are few PPP distros to yet crack this - Mobian is one. 

With the original PP it was led in the Megapixel app

Yes, the preinstalled Camera app is outdated; it was renamed to Snapshot, so you should install gnome-snapshot (or Megapixels, which is common on PinePhone) for better performance, though camera speed is still limited by drivers on the PinePhone Pro.
