I've personally gone fully FOSS with my phone, using

  Aurelia - APP store Frontend
  Obtainium - APP manager
  Google Camera - with blocked network access
  Organic Maps - navigation
  K9 mail - email
  Koreader - epub reader
  Binary eye - barcodes
  PDF doc Scanner - scan to PDF
  Signal - messenger
Everything i need ;)

  PDF doc Scanner

Just a heads up, thunderbird beta for mobile is here!

Is this on a non google OS? Otherwise my question is, can you ever really block the camera's network access?

By the way check out Librera for ebooks. I have koreader on my kindle and I like it, I find librera's interface and features to be better suited to a phone. (apk is free on fdroid)

I still have stock on my OnePlus 12, but I've disabled everything natively Google (except the camera and gallery, because they're linked and allow taking pictures without unlocking) and use Rethink DNS to firewall all apps. Nothing gets out without me having an idea (although that also means some apps may break until their access is properly configured, and some are really stubborn).

Is Google Camera FOSS?

note using a vpn firewall is not as reliable as revoking internet android permission used by GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS offers a proper internet permission toggle using the Android permission system. If you install an app it will prompt you for it.

no. This is: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera

A good alternative is OpenCamera.
