I like the native camera app that came with the Pixel 2 -- with one

Good news.

The Google Gcam camera mode selection slider is admittedly in the wrong
place but the good news is the Penguin GCam port removed that bottom slider.

At least on the two Penguin ports that worked for me there is no slider.

Instead some camera controls are on the top (timer, grid, balance, flash).
(Why they don't just make the flash control tap-tap-tap I'll never know.)

At top left is a hamburger with what would have been in the bottom slider.
Bad news is not everything in the original Gcam is in that hamburger.

In the top left Penguin GCam port are just the following GCam options
Slow Motion
Panorama
PhotoSphere
LensBlur/Portrait Mode

Plus an additional "PenguinGCam Settings" option containing options for

More good news for others is both Penguin ports I tried worked on my phone
which isn't even listed in that article (multiple other ports failed).
