In lower light, the image it tries to focus on is NOT visible on-screen. Sometimes it's just black. No wonder no focus.)
nicolai should know better here, but since this is using the same API, I'm not sure if this is the UI, rather than the backend.

Did you have any other camera applications running? (e.g flashlight).

A small button on the left for "take shot" (with a blue square) but a 3" diagonal button (the whole image) switches full-screen to windowed, a function little used during shooting. Also, the exposed menu has 3 checkboxes. User should tap screen to take picture like other camera phones and use button to switch settings, not the other way around.
tbh, I agree, Moving the setting to their own key and having a custom button to go to the task nav would be much better UX design, we'll see how this changes later on.

Just added this actually,

Keep in mind, if you restore the stock UI, you will no longer receive updates through HAM/fapman, you'll have to install packages yourself.
