Can anybody confirm whether the camera works in Waydroid in Ubuntu Touch on the Fairphone 4?

The camera certainly doesn’t work in Waydroid on my ARM laptop, and I’ve read that support hadn’t been added for v4l2 yet. But I’ve seen a YouTube video that seems to suggest otherwise on Ubuntu Touch (that I can’t find anymore of course…)

I really want to convert my FP4 to Linux, but not being able to activate my Android banking app in Waydroid with the QR code is a deal breaker for me.

    it is still running android underneath

    Oh really? I wasn’t aware. That’s a bit of a letdown: I wanted to ditch Android altogether.

    Then again, I suppose if the camera works, it must have something to do with running atop a working Android system.

    I’ll look into all this. Thanks for the heads up!

      If I remember correctly that is exactly why I ditched it. I was really disappointed because I bought a new smartphone specifically for it. Thankfully that phone also supported LineageOS.
