OpenCamera is so far the best that works. I often use the white balance settings, exposure settings, focus, and zoom. I tried another FOSS camera (I forget the name, not on F-Droid either) that supposedly have real-time filter, but it doesn't launch on my phone.

So eventually I always use Darktable on desktop if I want to enhance my photos from my phone. Although depending on the scene lights as well, white balance settings in OpenCamera can be good enough to produce nice looking photo.

Seconding OpenCamera. Also, if you check off everything in Camera Preview (angle, pitch lines, etc.), you can pretend you're in a fighter jet.
