@BobTheDisaster:
I extracted the apk from the original rom, unknowingly obtaining an old version.
The version I found in this thread works!
You are my hero!
However ā¦ it still crashes upon taking a picture.
@jeroen2
Thatās pretty sad. I was thinking to make Magisk module, although it is not so complicated, but after getting your experience I think it will not work at allā¦
Iām working the graveyard shift so debugging will have to wait a couple of days ā¦
Recording a video works.
Taking a high resolution photo works.
Taking a panorama photo works.
It just crashes when I try to take a ānormalā picture ā¦

Be in touch, please.
If there will no solution, I will flash eos (impossible to flash fpoos, they blocked my imei)
Thats weird, how did you end up getting your imei banned? I donāt want that to happen to me accidentally.

From the log, for as far as I can tell, the camera app seems to crash when trying to process EXIF data.
Iām not sure if this functionality is provided by the libtctcameraalgo_jni.tct.so.
However, since I was using an old version of the FPCamera.apk, I might also be using an old version of libtctcameraalgo_jni.tct.so.
Iāll try the get the most recent versions of both files and try again.

Eos devs made an implementation of fp camera app, since it is opensource os, its possible to detect what is the way to workaround.
They have a special checkbox in setting menu āfairphone cameraā which appear the original app in app menuā¦
@BobTheDisaster that sounds very interesting! Do you have some link to share perhaps with regards to that implementation in e/OS ? I am running e/OS on my fairphone and Iād love to try it out!
I found it independently, and wonder if this information could also be used to make the app work with lineageos as well.
I also did a cursory search of e/os search code for camera and include this merge to /e/os which seems especially interesting, since there is a service under a subdirectory called lineageos. I donāt feel too confident myself to go much further into the matter, though.
If anyone is in the lineages community and is confident enough in development to make a pull request, it would be really cool!

Yes! I can confirm I found this option! Thank you so much!!
Iād been following this topic and I still didnāt know I could do this! I turned on the setting, rebooted and then found a new camera app !!
What a nice end of year present!!

There is a list proprietary-files.txt of propietary libs for app (more than only libtctcameraalgo_jni.tct.so)

Judging by FP5 50Mpx photos seem only interpolated from 12Mpx (#8193) Ā· Issues Ā· e / Backlog Ā· GitLab their 50MP mode is just an interpolation of 12 MP. The 50MP photo from my stock camera-App is clearly superior to 12 MP even in sub-optimal light condition. So, itās not an option. 
I was wondering whether there has been some progress on using the stock Fairphone 5 Camera app on CalyxOS. Iāve read online that there were people looking into it, but has anything changed so far?
Thanks!
not sure if the situation is different than it is on FP4, but when it comes to that one, Calyx team has decided itās not worth the effort Fairphone stock camera app (#2149) Ā· Issues Ā· CalyxOS / calyxos Ā· GitLab

Welcome to the Community Forum, I moved your post here @NoTimeLeft and the reply by @noodlejetski ā thank you for the update on CalyxOS for the FP4 which of course is regrettable, but thanks anyway.

Interesting find:
To be honest, I donāt fully understand why itās in FP5 /e/OS official but not in FP5 /e/OS community ā given the FP4 /e/OS community version does include Fairphoneās native camera app, doesnāt it?

There can only be some stupid licensing reason.
I must say, this issue with the camera disappoints me greatly. Itās 5th iteration and the company still hasnāt got it right. I really want to like the product. Itās almost all I need from a phone. But I hate the feeling, that some stupid political reason prevents it from functioning as it could have. Iād be happier if the phone had inferior camera, but fully unlocked.
And, btw, I compared the quality of the FP5 50 MP camera, used in best (12 MP) mode I can, with the 200 MP camera from Samsung S24 Ultra shot in great, bright condition. I can tell, 200 MP does contain only about 10-20% more detail, with more clearly visible post-processing filter artifacts. So the talk about FP5 camera ācanāt keep up with any current smartphone.ā is nonsense. It could with better software support.
