Did you alter build.prop?

I just installed with root explorer as well.. rebooted and have 2 cameras and 2 galleries.. old and new.
It is just very, very, very slow...

Yes I altered my build.prop. but same here, sphere mode is unusable it's so slow but everything else works fine. I wonder why it's so slow. Im gonna try another method.

Tried several different updated and patched versions and nothing seems to work for sphere mode. It takes the first picture and then slowly creeps to the next but that's not how it's supposed to work. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this. I heard that any phone under 1gb of ram can't use it but the M should be ok as it has 1 gb

Ok after reading bad info that told me the Razr M came with a gyroscope I just found out that it does not have one. Photo sphere require a gyro. Sorry Razr M users, no photo sphere for us just yet.

Is there an advantage using the camera app from that build over the razr one?

I really don't think so, it's short on options as far as effects and shot modes but the gallery makes up for it in it's editing options. I thought the camera shots looked a little worse than stock. I haven't taken too many shots. I'll take more tomorrow and post what I think about the quality in more detail.

The only reason I wanted it was for sphere mode, which freakin sweet. look it up on youtube if you haven't already. It's made me want to get a different phone lol. But I love my Razr M and that's just something I can live without for now.

So what S do we need to do to get just the new gallery?

Does anyone know whether the gyroscope hardware is actually in the phone, and it's a matter of the hardware being disabled via the kernel?
I would try to poke around myself, but I don't have the phone...I'm debating between dev versions of the M and HD. I've read Sphere does work on the HD since the gyroscope is enabled.

Gyroscope
The phone does have the hardware, unsure if the JB update actually has it working though.

I tried elixir 2 to test this. It says gyroscope is not a available. However I don't see the reason why moto would disable this function if it does exist inside the phone. I tried Google earth and star charts and they work fine. I believe the phone uses a combo of accelerater and magnetic sensors to give location. What would be the point of having gyroscope and purposely disable it? Don't moto make its money off RAZR HD and Max HD?
Edit: my bad, I didn't read that article.

Ok so this article review states that this phone has gyroscope.

Perhaps maybe they really do have it disabled...

4.2 camera apk

its found on this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895
didnt know if anyone wanted it.
it opens takes photos does panoramic but photo sphere doesnt work says phones not supported it installed as a downloaded app so you have it and stock im using rooted stock v3
It's POS in comparison to our TW camera. I tried it (from different source). Sphere works but there is no viewer for it so it has to be uploaded to G+ and viewed on the computer.
Otherwise it lacking so many features it's almost unusable.
Takes pictures but that's about it.
yea the panoramic and sphere feature is the only thing cool about it.
Try the one mentioned by ramjet in this post. I believe it has been patched to remove the device check. I tried it on my EVO 3D and it worked. The sperical view in the gallery works just as intended.

It works great, no FC for me.
what specific version did you succeed in trying on the sprint note 2? does it install ALONGSIDE stock camera and gallery like it does on my S3 ?
the tw camera is pretty dope is 4.2 cam better ?
the 4.2 camera is total CRAP (compared to the S3/N2 camera). but you want it. because photo sphere is "dope" as you say I run them concurrently on my S3 I hope to do the same on my new N2.

How do I get my old camera back?

I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!

You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version
im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :
A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)
B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?
sooooooo mmmmm yeah ill remember this thread when i come to updating

Because it's not supported for front facing cameras? That's not broken, that's design.

First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.

ok so look basically it would be very stupid putting diesel into a petrol as it wouldn't work......
acer made it to remove any cam app we had previously then installed a app exactly the same but without the working effects, .... only 1 broken one..photosphere,
saying that its supposed to only work with a front face cam....well then why go to the trouble of jacking our old app and putting one with a feature we cant use......? :good:
Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.
When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.

the strange thing is, you would think panoramic shot wouldnt work, yet in the cam effects pre-4.2 you can use panoramic efect albeit frontcam only, it did work thou.
i think photsphere from front cam, while your in the middle of the shot with the world spinning around you would be a great effect anyways.

Installing Google Edition Camera

I don't believe this has been posted yet, so hopefully I can help people out with this thread. Also I'm not sure if this belongs in the "Verizon HTC One Themes & Apps" section or not, because it's not specific to the VZW One. So please don't flame
We can install the stock camera from the Google Edition phones on our HTC One. It does not replace the HTC camera, it installs alongside it, so we can use both. It also includes the stock "gallery" app.
The camera app includes Google's "photosphere" which is pretty neat.
No root required. Just download and install. If for some reason you skip install, the download of course can be found in the "downloads" app on your phone.
http://www.adrive.com/public/EtV5jj/com.google.android.gallery3d.apk (not my link, credit goes to nexus0 for this link)
EDIT If photosphere doesn't work good with that .apk, try this one. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but it worked alright for me from this link: http://goo.gl/02po9 Although from reading about other users experience, photosphere is hard to get to look perfect
I have played around with this camera and so far so good. I'm not going to say it eliminates the tint problems but I haven't noticed tint problems in any of the pictures I've taken with it. However, I haven't had major tint problems to begin with.

I am not finding HDR in the GPe camera app. Not that it matters, I'm going to keep it for the gallery and use the HTC camera app I think, unless I decide I want photosphere. But am I just missing something?
Sorry for the newb question but how do you install a .apk file. Thanks.

2 ways I do it. Either download the file right from your phone and once it's done, tap the download in the notification bar and it should go to the install process
OR
Upload the file from your computer to dropbox, and then go to the dropbox app on your phone, tap the .apk file and it should take you to the install process.

Try the new link I just posted, I tried photosphere with that and it worked alright. I mean, you can see some parts where the photo is stitched together but overall I am OK with the result. Photosphere is awesome!

Parsing error has nothing to do with unknown sources. I'm sure it's to do with Android version. Try installing a ICS app on GB and you get parsing errors

No idea. I just know it's nothing to do with the Unknown Sources option. Only time I've bumped into parsing errors is when I've tried to install a ICS app on GB
1. API greater than minSdkVersion (defined in AndroidManifest.xml) i.e. Package is compiled on higher API level but using on lower API
2. code Name of the package is changed after signing: Use the exact name as the signed package is (instead of renaming the name in Manifest)
3. executed from SD-card than execute from phones memory.
Possible problems

Do we know what is actually causing the tint issues? I don't notice the tint in my pics but the standard "place your hand over the lense and if it stays black you're good. Purple/red/blue color variations means it's jank" test fails. I get the color variations. Is it software that can be fixed with a patch or hardware?

[Q] Xperia S photo focus issue?!?!

Hi guys...
There's one stupid and annoying issue that happens in my Sony Xperia S when taking photos!
I don't know if it's global, but i don't think so, because i didn't see anyone else claiming about it.
When i'm taking photos with close focus (like 20cm distance), i press camera button to focus and it shows green, but the image is a little blured, and i press the button all the way down to take the photo even with the blured image, and then the pre-visualisation of image is well focused...
I have already tried to focus again like 20cm distance, and then move the phone so the image gets not blured, like with excellent focus, then i take the photo, and it gets with really bad focus... -_-
I have already tried different camera mods, like advanced stock camera, cybershot mod, all the same.
Any one with same issue? Any way to fix it?
you can fix with root
you need to edit build prop though
Ill paste some things for you to put in your build prop later

I have centered metering, ISO auto, auto-focus i have already tried single, multi and touch focus.
I've also tried taking fotos with original camera, camera FV5 and Lenovo supercamera. All of them with the same problem.
Taking photos with flash at night, preview is really fast and i can't see if it do the same like without flash...
I have to try to record with my brother's Honamy, maybe it's visible while recording that way, since i can't capture screen while taking photos...
The worst problem is when i try to take macro photos or taking photos with super macro lens. Being really hand-stable isn't enough. I have to get used to this focus issue :/

After Samsung update today, Gcam stopped working????

Hi,
For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.
After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but
still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???
Ken
That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?
Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk
hi

Ok,
Tried your Gcam, same not working, closes when opened. I was using the latest UltraGcam for quite a while now.

Please download the Camera API2 Probe app and take a screenshot of what it says. I've attached what mine says and I'm still on the July release before OneUI 2.5.

Strange, your screenshot looks like mine so camera api2 hasn't changed? Hmm, how about trying a gcam version that doesn't work for me on the old update.

Ok,
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. I've been trying different developers versions to see if I get lucky.
Samsung must have done something in the 2.5 update to OneUi that caused it for me.

Haha yeah I've been trying to get people on that reddit thread to try things as well. It seems a person in the Note 20 Ultra thread confirmed this version works. Can you try? https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/HyperCam-RaizenA-10.apk
Ok,
I'll try
Ok,
Tried HyperCam, it actually opened for a while, I went into setting to
change a few things and bam, closed and never opened after that!!!

Lol clearing data for the app should get it working again. Bigger question though is do you remember which options you changed that broke it?
Hi,
Nope, maybe reinstall later and try again,

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.
Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.

That's actually very helpful. Can you guys download the Camera API2 Probe app and post screenshots of what it says for Camera ID 1 and ID 3? This is mine for my Camera ID 1 on the older build.

I have attached the camera info.
It looks like the front facing camera is not giving RAW.
Also since I didn't mention it previously I am using a Snapdragon USA unlocked S20

Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?

Thanks guys. Super useful info. I don't know if it's fixable but I'm passing the info to the gcam testing group that I'm in so hopefully one of the devs will see and know what to do about it.
