This phone has a Mediatek processor, so support is bad. However, this version was reported to be working on the F2:
The only main problem is a viewfinder lag which sadly can’t be fixed.
Usually versions from Urnyx05, Arnova8G2, and Wichaya work well on these devices.
Note: You maybe have to enable the camera2 api on this phone. Root is needed. Ask on the links below for more information.

This phone uses a Mediatek SoC and so support won’t be very good. You can try versions from wyroczen. For example:
The lower quality Camera Go Mods should also work.
