Thanks Pat! I’d be happy to have the tutorial on the main site! Let me work up, and then you can take a look at it and determine if it’s good enough to be added…
A quick update. I have gotten a lot of the tutorial written. I’ve updated my fork of the pixls Scripts repo, but will wait to issue a pull request until the tutorial is complete. However, you can see what I’ve gotten done so far here: https://github.com/PixlsStuff/Scripts/tree/master/android_filmsim. Let me know how it’s looking so far!!

.@afre You might still be able to do the Termux part! And, if all else fails, there’s always a time to get a new phone! 
I took a look at Termux app in the Play store but I wasn’t sure if it is actually an open source app. Are there any open source alternatives to Termux ?
It is open source; you can install it from fdroid, that’s where I got it from.

@Andrius Yes, it’s open source: https://termux.com/source-code.html
All source code is available on GitHub, which you can access from links on that page…
I’ve opened some issues for termux, that may be useful:
@David_Tschumperle perhaps you can help here:
@houz perhaps you can help here:
And this is issue interesting too:
Help with what? Creating a dt package? I have no idea what this termux might be.
I think he means getting a darktable package for termux
I chatted with @houz and it looks like darktable-cli is hard to port to termux, because of gtk:
packaging gtk for such a thing would be a nightmare
Now we have gmic running on termux: Package request: G'MIC · Issue #972 · termux/termux-packages · GitHub
Please test it.

I’ve just installed and will be testing soon. Note, here are the installation steps that eventually worked for me:
- Get some needed tools. coreutils for mkdir command, gnugp for the signing key, and apt-transport-https to actually connect to the repo
apt install coreutils gnugp apt-transport-https - Make the
sources.list.ddirectory
mkdir $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d - Write the needed source file
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://its-pointless.github.io/files/ termux extras" > pointless.list - Download signing key from https://its-pointless.github.io/pointless.gpg to my downloads folder.
- Run
termux-setup-storagescript if not already done - Install the signing key
apt-key add storage/downloads/pointless.gpg - Update apt
apt update - Install GMIC
apt install gmic
We gave babl+gegl+imgflo for termux now:

@Isaac are you using open camera? I went to import a bunch of DNG files from my Nexus 5x a few days ago with my exiftool script, and the DNG files did not seem to have the DateTimeOrig tag in them, which is what I use to sort the images. Have you seen this problem?
I will investigate further tonight
@paperdigits Hmmm. I haven’t specifically noticed that, but I haven’t checked the EXIF tags or tried to sort manually on that specific tag All the raw DNG’s I’ve taken with Open Camera seem to be in the proper place in my Google Photos and Flickr timelines. Of course, they could simply be using the file creation timestamp, and not the EXIF tag. I can check when I am at home…
EDIT: I just checked. Here’s the EXIF content from a recent shot. It all looks correct to me?
