[Q] Photo Sphere..I don't get it! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Can someone please explain exactly what I'm supposed to do with the Photo Sphere images from the 4.2 camera app?
I've shot a bunch of them but they just look like standard panorama images!
How do I view them on the PC and get them to pan etc?
Sorry for yet another stupid question..

When you view them on your phone you should have a circular icon at the bottom of the screen - press this and it should go 3D (like streetview)

Thanks. When I press that button in the new Gallery app, nothing happens at all!

Upload those pics to Google+ there you can able view photo sphere images in PC

I have had the same question, so photo sphere means to be able to view pics as 3D?

is there no way to just see them locally without uploading them somewhere?

I think your gallery app is not working properly... try to change the GMS core. Apk
Check this YouTube link to see the photosphere view

Not sure what the gms core app is!
All i did was to flash the 4.2 camera app and the new gallery app came with it!
Should I have flashed something else?

Sounds like the package you flashed wasn't complete

Camera Shutter with Volume Button?

I've tried retro camera and fx camera but I wanted to use the stock camera app and use my volume button to trigger the flash. Isn't there an apk that does that passively?
PS the volume button zooms so would need some type of remapper app
Theres a app in the og gs2 section that does that.

when you click on the rar file, it shows a BC and with BC reader, it says download unsucessful
EDIT: interesting that the stock browser gives an error for downloading but skyfire downloads just fine. Can't get it install? Any suggestions?
Not liking vignette, since I can't use it from IM.
Launch "camera" to send a photo as an attachment and it launches vignette, but chokes after it successfully takes the pic. I forget the message, but basically that the data returned to handcent was invalid.. Possibly the effect of vignettes "preview", idk.
So since its a .rar does it need to be extracted? Has anyone had success yet?

Android 4.2 Photo Sphere

Has anyone gotten photo sphere to work on the Samsung galaxy 3? You could download the apk from pocketnow.com and then copy it to the system/app folder. I tried that and it won't install.

Not to insult but did you restart after pushing it to system? I've had apps refuse to install but once I restarted they were good to go
I downloaded the flashable zip and installed it on my TMo GS3. Works fine. PhotoSphere heated up the phone a bit. Had the Camera crash taking a regular photo. That's about it thus far, but I really havent had a chance to properly test ad nauseum.

The reason why it force closes is because you can't normally take a picture with just hitting the button you have to to
Tap the screen (manually focus) then wait for it to focus and hit button. Everything works properly when doing that. So basically manual focus every time is needed
I don't see the stop button whenever I use the Photo Sphere or Panoramic mode. I'm running PA 2.52.
Works great on my S3 with Serenity 1.2 ROM thanks to that awesome guy DG ... sphere shot is amazing and keyboard is great thanks...

Play Store 3.9.1.6, Gmail 4.2, camera 4.2, keyboard 4.2 , and clock

I am posting these because I keep seeing links go dead on to much leaked android 4.2.X stuff. None of these are from me at all, Just sharing what I find. I've seen androidpolice and other sites have to remove there links to some of these app's, so I am just posting what I got and will try to keep stuff up to date.
This guy: http://www.qbking77.com/index.html has a lot of videos on the changes in the new leaks. Also search his youtube vid's for instructions.
Google play store is cool because you can remove old app's you don't want any more on your app history etc.
Gmail,s biggest change is that you can pinch-pull to zoom in-out. And swipe to delete a conversation.
The new keyboard has better swipe and lots more to.
I think the new camera is bad to the bone! Do a google search and read up.
I hope ya'll like these, Just remember to use at your own risk
This is the new play store 3.9.1.6 : http://d-h.st/vSI Install like any apk but you have to have unknown sources selected in order to install anything from anywhere but play store.
New Gmail :http://d-h.st/6Uf, you have to use something like rom toolbox etc. to uninstall gmail. Then reboot and instll and your good to go.
This is both camera&keyboard together : http://d-h.st/tQE . Flash this in CWM orTWRP
This is camera only : http://d-h.st/Qd5
This is keyboard only : http://d-h.st/RWx
This is the clock: http://d-h.st/S4P <-I have not tried the clock yet!!!!
Links
You got the same links for play store and gmail they're both the play store :silly:
Thanks, I fixed it.
What is the clock?

Camera:
- Taking pictures is fine, really good quality both front and back
- Sometimes the exposure options don't apply
- 360 sphere panorama is BADASS
- Normal panorama is perf
- **Video recording is bad quality, and the playback is just static and never shows what you recorded**
Keyboard:
- Settings crash when you try to add your own word to dictionary
- Swiping method works perf
Gmail:
- Can't get it to delete my old gmail. Maybe its my ROM or something that doesn't let me mount as r/w, so I put it aside for now.
Play Store:
- Deleting uninstalled app history functions great.
- No bugs as of now everything works as it should

You can use apps like titaniam backup or rom toolbox to backup your data. Some roms don't like data to be restored though. Or you can back up your rom first and try a dirty flash,just wipe system and cash without factory reset depending on what rom you are trying.

It's a flashable zip I found here:

from what ive searched and found around the xda site is, you need to tap the screen to focus every time before you take a picture or you will get camera lock ups and can not connect to camera. if you have gotten that message, just reboot your phone and remember to tap the screen before every picture taken.
The back camera works fine. I have to do the whole tapping the screen to focus before taking the picture thing, but thats not much of a problem. But if I take a picture with the front facing camera, it reboots my phone and obviously does not save the picture. Anyone know a way to solve this?
(I'm running 4.2.2 Illusion ROM for SGS3)
Install omega rom. Indie has modded them and photo sphere is working without any problems. You dont even neet to tap to focus before each photo. When you install omega be sure to select the 4.3 camera option in aroma installer

Hmm, most likely a hardware or ROM issue, If not, Camera JB+ from the Play Store is exactly like the stock camera.
I can't promise that this will work for you, but I went into my phone system/app and deleted Camera 2 and Gallery 2 apks and ran the APK I have attached which includes the camera. And my camera is working perfectly now.
I installed that apk but when I go into the settings if forecloses I want to use the the power or volume button as a physical camera button if there is a way for that work

honestly CM team need to rework their camera from the ground app to the UI, (THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT CM roms) so either go back to a 4.1.2 touchwiz rom or upgrade to 4.3 also with stock touchwiz
am sure there are camera apps that can replace cm's camera in the Play Store :laugh:

Hi
I have the i9300 with CM11 - 20131206. My pictures are OK, but I want to store the pictures on external SD-Card. The camera on CM 11 cannot do this. I have tried the Camera ICS, because the Camera JB+ is not for free. The ICS should also can store on SD-Card, but I don't have this option in the camera settings. I don't want to buy the JB+, when I'm not sure, that it will work with this option. Can anybody help me, please?
regards
Friedrich
hi. i just installed JB+ camera from 4shared, and it's working very well, but there is still no option to save the pics on sd card.
There is a module for the xposed framework which will save pictures the external sd.
