How to get auxillary cameras (wide, macro etc.) to work in Open Camera [root]

[Anonymous]

There is a whitelist of apps that the system presents the aux cams to:

# getprop vendor.camera.aux.packagelist

Add Open Camera to the list

# setprop vendor.camera.aux.packagelist com.android.camera,org.lineageos.aperture,net.sourceforge.opencamera

The apps before net.sourceforge.opencamera are what you got from the first command. The example is on LineageOS. I had to remove the dev version of Aperture so the string wasn't too long.
Don't forget to enable Camera2 API in Open Camera.

Oh and this is a concrete hint for some users. I checked on one smartphone with lineageOS and it works :o , too bad you have to have root :( because I would have checked myself on a few others.

Just to note the setting doesn't survive a reboot, which is annoying
