Notable changes in version 56:
- use Latency mode by default for fresh installs instead of Quality mode: Latency mode doesn't wait for 3A convergence (stable auto-focus/auto-exposure/auto-white-balance), defaults to 95% JPEG quality instead of 100% and uses HDR+ on Pixel 4 and later instead of Pixel 2 and later which doesn't matter much for fresh installs since Pixel 3 has been end-of-life for over a year
- update ZXing (barcode library) to 3.5.1 for assorted robustness and performance improvements
A full list of changes from the previous release (version 55) is available through the Git commit log between the releases.
This app is available through the Play Store with the app.grapheneos.camera.play app id. Play Store releases go through review and it usually takes around 1 to 3 days before the Play Store pushes out the update to users. Play Store releases use Play Signing, so we use a separate app id from the releases we publish ourselves to avoid conflicts and to distinguish between them.
Releases of the app signed by GrapheneOS with the app.grapheneos.camera app id are published in the GrapheneOS app repository and on GitHub. You can use the GrapheneOS app repository client on Android 12 or later for automatic updates.
Releases are initially pushed out through the Beta channel for both the Play Store and our app repository and then get moved to the Stable channel.
