What is the camera like on Lineage OS for a OnePlus 8t?

I've the same phone, and was fairly determined to make Oneplus 8t work.

Here's what i can cobbled together.

What I know:

Back cameras: you can get the wide angle, main camera working and front camera.

How i did it

I downloaded this file and installed it GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.5_Snapcam.apk i hear snapcam is the one to use, and indeed wide angle worked

I downloaded the configuration for 8t.

Result.

It looks to me ok i don't see a ton of difference. Fairly on par for just taking pictures. Note i never used the other camera lenses i though they were gimmicky. They may have a. use but i'm the wrong person to provide feedback on the monochrome or the macro one.

My theory of what's different

What i suspect is lacking or might be. The camera apk is based on pixel 5. That isn't exactly the same specs. Also the under the os the blobs in lineage i doubt they are fully capable. It's using open camera 2.0. I believe what happens ideally is 48mp is used and binned dow to 12mp. this is likely firing at 12mp period, but maybe someone else can clairify. Again i' not an expert on photography. But it's my current understanding is there may be some loss there. Now how much difference that makes i don't know. I don't think this phone was ever up to an iphone level frankly. It was fine before it still seems fine. I do't see a different, and i didn't use the stuff i said. Honestly i only really use the main camera rear and the front one once in a while.

TLDR it's fine. you need to jump though hoops.
