Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open 'Open Camera' on a Motorola G15 (Android API Level 35, Camera2 FULL support).
  2. Tap the camera switch icon (camera+ symbol) to select between cameras.

Observed behavior:
The camera selection dialog shows two options, but both correspond to the back (main) camera:
0: Back camera 2: Back camera

  • There is no option to select the front camera.
  • This is not merely a labeling issue – both entries actually activate the main camera.

Expected behavior:
One entry should correspond to the front camera.

Additional information:

  • The front camera works correctly in Fossify Camera App on the same device, indicating that access via Camera2 (or a compatible API) is possible.
  • Device info: Motorola G15, Android 15, Camera2 API level FULL.
  • Open Camera version: v1.55 (installed via F-Droid)

Impact:

  • Users cannot use the front camera in Open Camera on this device.
