Hi,
you are using the JB 4.2 camera app (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966313 ) and you got photosphere working without FC, please share your results.
Here are mines so far, very much useless :'(

Today I learned that the Photo Sphere feature from the new Jelly Bean 4.2 is no better than what we'd already had on our One X's since forever.

difference is panoramic is 360 degrees but in a circular motion. photosphere would be in a spherical motion, thus covering a larger area.
however, i didn't like the outcomes though.
I am quite excited though, to see the implementations of the user interface(the one finger gestures) in sense. That would be awesome
Running maXimus v5 and everything works perfect. After flashing, I got a new camera app and a new gallery app. Opened photosphere and snapped my whole living room without difficulties. Photo was saved on sdcard/DCIM/Camera, jpg format. Understandably, the image is flat when viewed on my desktop but viewing it on the gallery app that was installed with the jb 4.2 camera, it can be viewed with sphere scrolling. Need to note that my battery turned from 33 degree celsius to 45 after two minutes of using the camera!!
I presume you can only view the "sphere" properly with the gallery app that's included, so posting it here won't allow other users see the effect

Imagination goes a long way. Of course it's better to view it to the original gallery app but the stitches seen on the flat render stays ugly. I like where this is going, though.

Hmm, yeah that makes sense. Now I remember seeing that in that video on the Verge.
The stitching quality is very disapointing even withe the gallery app i still view it flat :sly:

Stitching will always be worse for nearby objects than distant ones. This tool is useful for landscape panos, not in your living room.

Mine crashes right after taking the first photo. I cannot figure out why and I've reflashed but no luck.
Any ideas?
**edit**
nvm, I've seen that it is a problem with CM10.
It doesn't work yet as it should. I have tried .zip from link above same version from the same position with One X and S3. Feeling during taking photos and results are completely different. It feels like One X sensors are misbehaving.
I'm using OrDroid 7.1.0 (1.31 hboot).
here are some fair examples, didn t knew that google + had a player for photoshpere..

i think i must have applied a picaso patch somehow...
I am looking forward to this, I really hope that the one touch menu gets implemented into Sense.
Wonder how these would look on the HTC DNA/J Butterfly screens...
It must be that you guys just take bad pictures, here's a full 360.

a) As I've pointed out numerous times, panoramas have a problem with nearby subjects because of parallax. Your subjects are mostly far away, and don't have clearly-defined edges which are obscuring more distant scenery, hence parallax is less of an issue. That makes this about as easy a subject as you could hope for. Doubly so since the sky is overcast and so the exposure level doesn't vary so much from frame to frame.
http://www.panoguide.com/howto/panoramas/parallax.jsp
b) There are clear stitching errors in your pano, too. Surprisingly many, actually, given how far away the subject is. Open the thumbnail below to see some of them circled. There are more, I'm sure, but I got bored of finding and circling them. Some are worse then others, for example the repeated treelines, repeated island, blurred island edge, and the zig-zagging horizon.
I'll add, by the way, that the stock HTC 2D pano tool is also absymal. It appears to make absolutely no effort to warp images, and simply aligns and fades them instead, leading to clear zig-zags in what should be straight lines like horizons.
The thing is, much MUCH better results should be possible. Attached is a pano shot not with the HTC One X, but with my Sony RX100 compact camera. (I've resized it to the same height as your pano.) It's a much more challenging subject, although nowhere near as bad as expecting to get a decent pano standing in the middle of a small room.
My image is -- other than brightness / contrast / color adjustment because there was a strong difference in exposure level and the bright sun / water biased the exposure too dark -- straight out of camera. No hand-tweaking of alignment was done, nor any local retouching of any kind.
It's stitched by the camera itself, which doubtless has a far less powerful processor than the HTC One X does. If the Sony can do this, the HTC One X should be able to do far better -- but so far it can't.
wrong nexus
Hey guys,
i've been trying to use photosphere for a couple of days on my Nexus S with custom ROM Xylon (android 4.2.1)
and i miss some things like the ability to share the pano to google maps, and also when i touch the edit icon (3-circle-venn), i get the "you don't have any app to complete this action" message.
As soon as i heard of the G+ player, i tried sharing it on g+ and here's the result (after trying many times):

Hey, guys!
I found this lwp with lots of free HD photospheres.

I am thinking of getting a Defy as a free upgrade to my Hero. Reviews of camera seem mixed but general impression is that it's not brilliant, especially in low light. Interested to hear the views of people here.
You can compare the photos from defy with various other phones, including N8, iPhone4 on gsmarena site. Just click on some of the latest reviews, doesnt matter which phone, and go to the camera section of the review. There is a photo compare tool.
Thanks. That was helpful but I am more interested in the low light performance.

I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of the flash. up to a metre or 2 it is very effective and doesn't wash out the photo like some others. All in all I am pleases with the camera - thats just my opinion though.
Thanks. I am almost certainly going to get one. The nagging doubt in the back of my mind is the speaker issue. Difficult to know how much of a problem it really is. People who don't have the issue (obviously) don't post to forums
None of those Cell Cameras are that cool in low light compared to a DSLR. What would really help is a camera app that writes out a dng file so that one can properly posprocess this in say Lightroom/Photoshop/Noiseware.
Just for completeness shake, the camera module seems to be a MT9PT012 ...

Ironically - That was shot with my HTC Desire
I guess the Defy's camera is just below cell-phone average. It should't be your only camera, but for "Hey this looks fun!" shots it'll do fine.
I really like my defy but, honestly, the camera is not the best part.
Also the display looks not so brilliant as the desire's one.
I'm not saying they're bad, just they're not wonderful, but considering defy's price it's absolutely fair.
Well, one thing none of the others can do is H2Oing it. I just filmed in water, definitely better results than any other phone attempting the same
I'm using the Camera360 app. There is a filter called "Effect enhancement". If i you this one, the pictures look better - the ones taken in short range. Ok, they do look a bit "artifical", but for me its ok. There is a "free" version of that app for trying out...
The Defy is not the first Android i bought, but it will be the first Android, which will not be sold again. I really like this phone...
Maybe there will be some kind of camera-optimization. Until then, i will take my digi-cam for "more important" pictures to make.
Best regards
Stefan
Here is sample picture, resized, with flash and taken with camera360 app.
This was taken with a Galaxy S
This was taken with the Defy, different day so not a direct comparison. The weather was worse and it was cloudy. Hope this give you an idea of comparison though.
Defy on macro with flash
Defy with macro no flash. Shows good detail.
thanks
Photos aren't that great but they're not awful. I do find that the built in editing (kodak perfect touch) does an excellent job though. The macro mode and color reproduction aren't as good as my vibrant. But overall im satisfied.

What about Videos in 720p ?
Anyone succeed to take videos in 720p with Froyo 2.2 ?
have you tryed the kodak perfect touch option?? It's excelent! for night pics, and remember to use the "night" mode in dark places
imo, It's good++
I took pictures with it for the first time today. I did not like the quality of the pictures. My first impressions:
Pros: The LED flash is bright and puts my old BB Curve to shame. You could use it to blind a night time attacker if you could instantly turn it on with an external button.
The interface to take pictures is pretty good and easy to use.
Cons:
-Colors are muddy and off color even when shot outdoors.
-Colors with the flash are not automatically corrected and show up with the blue/white color cast of the LED flash.
-Color space compression is very noticable with banding visible under various conditions.
-Slow to take a picture because it does not focus until you click the onscreen button to take the photo.
I thought video was better on balance than the camera but it is rather poor in low light (as expected). I hope that I will learn to get better results with it after more testing but I'm glad it's not a primary reason for me to own the Defy.
-felipe
What about 720p videos?
Could someone try it?with froyo??
I found the camera pretty good in comparaison of my old phone.
But there's a hudge miss on the native camera app: you cannot change the JPG compression and by default it's very very compressed! Some have their 5Mpxl pictures that takes around 300kB (it should be 1.5MB at least!).
Maybe if someone know a way to change this settings it would be nice for improving the quality of the final picture
I really like the Vignette app for the camera, it's old school styles go rather well with the "performance" of the camear
In case you wondering what kind of picture quality the HTC One X and One S were capable of spitting out, we have a few images here that show off exactly what their new ImageSense technology is all about.
HTC, who has long been known for providing one of the lesser quality cameras on the market, made a pretty big deal about their new camera tech equipping their flagships with with f/2.o aperture/28mm lenses and they even going as far as giving their devices their own dedicated processor for snapping pics, dubbed “ImageChip.” In theory, ImageChip increases image quality while providing super quick autofocus and taking equally fast snapshots on the fly. The LED even features 5 levels of brightness which should eliminate those creepy washed out photos you take in dimly lit areas.

These are actual pics taken by the HTC one series, and HTC recently posted them to their official page on the facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150821613873084.501840.101063233083&type=3
yes true but we have no idea of the settings used while taking the shots, and while nice, hoping for some testers to post some more real world shots!!
yes HTC said they gave the One X/S to some local photographers in Barcelona and they took these
Looks like a bunch of post processed shots to me, the color contrasts are way over the top.
Still nice pics regardless.
What's the ppi of the pictures the One X can take?

That's a good concern. I'm going to give HTC the benefit of the doubt on this one, based on the terrific camera specs and dedicated imaging chip, but who knows...
Why in the 1st pic there is some Violet-colour on the fish?
Hope that the Audio Beast go with One X
I only hope so that are really photos from one X becouse HTC has horrible camera with pink spot on the screen. My first HTC HD2 and now Desire Z have this
Very nice, it should look like this pictures! I'm fascinated.
In the HTC's facebook page for Spain they have a lot more pictures. Can't post external links, so go check it yourself.
It's actually the HTC France page and I don't know why they would post them to that page and not their USA page...weird. While I enjoy those shots, I wanna see how the camera shoots in Auto mode. Most of those pictures were shot using a filter or edited with some sort of app. Would like to see standard shots...lets go HTC!!

Maybe both man... i saw them in the spanish page. And btw the shots were taken in Barcelona during the MWC, so it makes sense.
ohh I couldn't even find their FB spain page, only France. Either way a lot of those pictures have been floating around for a while, but it was nice to see a few more. I guess we will see what happens when the tech sites get their review units
Hopefully you will be able to save photos in RAW format for editing on a pc or at least be able to adjust the jpeg compression .
What's up with the noise/compression in all these pics? Noticeable on blue skies and such.
any nighttime shots.
these daytime shots look great.
*****UPDATE: January 12th, 2013
I have re-uploaded a few sample photos from last July/August of 2012 taken under STOCK Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m
I could not find many of the original photos on my phone SD card since my old SD card was corrupted. Also because of this, the re-uploaded photos are not in the original size, so preview size only.
================================
Cropped and slight color/saturation change on the phone, and because of that, the EXIF for all my sample images were stripped...
No tripod was used, but I tried to be as steady as my noodle arms allowed me to... (*Note: Anti-Shake is Turned ON)

UPDATED:
These are unedited photos, straight from the phone from walking in park today:
NIGHT Sample and Lower Light Samples (LED FLASH is turned OFF, and auto exposure):
ISO1600
ISO500
ISO80
-----------------------------------------------
COMMENTARY:
The camera is not too shabby, definitely an improvement if you are upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S1, but not too much from a S2..
Large aperture does show a little bit of DOF due to tiny sensor, but not a lot, unless you do software edits. DOF will be better if taking macro shots with macro mode..
Performance in the dark is not too bad, but still suffers from A LOT of noise at iso1600. Using this thing at night time is probably not recommended especially out in the open where the LED flash is useless. Using during sunset and early evening, the GS3 i747m performs fine.
For some reason, all the sky during the daytime seems to be overexposed... (UPDATE: All BLUE colors are not very saturated and bright blue colored sources tends to be over exposed...) I suppose this is software.. Software editing or future update or custom ROM can probably fix this..
Auto focusing is not the fastest in the world, but gets the job done (well only in nicely lit areas lol)
Clarity of the optics seems alright, but not the sharpest I've seen on mobile devices...
The viewfinder On-Screen seems to be the best ones on mobile phones right now... The speed and smoothness of the camera panning is shown on the screen. There is VERY LITTLE SCREEN to SENSOR lag on this device.... This is a key to make the Galaxy S3 i747m's camera a winner... Hopefully more mobile manufacturers can incorporate this...
Update:
Nightshots without LED flash, autofocus is broken, and the focus is completely messed up.. Touch to focus, it is hard to get the green box on the focus.. If you do get the green box, the focus is broken... I tried to touch to focus at night, it says green and focused, but the viewfinder is a blur...
Shots from low light is nothing to write home about.. At iso1600, the pictures are very grainy, and without the correct autofocus, the shots are almost unusable on a standard computer monitor or even 4x5" prints..
Indoors with a single 40W light source seems to perform better. At iso500, the door picture seems to retain most of the details, with a bit of grain..
In the second indoor shot, there is a single table lamp in a dark study room... The auto iso at iso 80, most of the 2B pencil marks are visible at full resolution (click on thumbnail), and even the objects in the shadow or with darker colors, the noise remains at minimum.. At about this light for indoors, the camera performs pretty decent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Give some of your opinions on the camera quality...

I voted average because i'm on cm10 and the focus isnt working

I like the ocean clouds... There are soo many variations..
Is your photo edited in any way for color or contrast?
If not, then the colors and the contrast from the dark and the ocean looks great... I wonder if it has to do with the stock ROM...
S3's camera will do good in daylight or in bright areas. However during low light situations its very sensitive to camera shake. I wish my hands are as steady as a tripod.
Yes it was stock. The thing with the camera is the fast shutter. It was easier to hold the phone in landscape to get the picture. I took a couple but that one came out perfect.

Here's couple of pictures I took with SGS3.

And yummy chicken curry...
The one and only thing that keeps me on Sense now instead of just flashing CM or ICJ is the Sense Camera.
Is it just me or is the AOSP camera just ridiculously horrible? Or is it that I can't use it like it's intended to be used?
All of my pictures get this green tint with the flash on, they are grainy, too sharp.
In every scene (sun, night, light) there seems to be just one problem no matter what I set the settings too.
Also, what's with the interface?

I know it's all about personal preference, but I really can't stand that, choppy, type of "un-finished" look of it.
What is the whole grey background needed for? Why all that un-used space thrown away? Move the button completely right, make the buttons appear by swiping down or something, and you have a fullscreen camera that actually looks pretty minimal and gorgeous.
I love how simplistic and minimal AOSP can be when you customize it right, but is there a way to customize the stock camera app?
Anyone care to explain to me how to use the AOSP Camera or recommend me any alternative I could use on AOSP?
I really love the Sense Camera and I think it's pretty great, but unfortunately you can't use that on AOSP.
So, conclusion, does this stock AOSP Camera really suck this much as I think it does, or am I looking into it too much?
I have the same thoughts as you on this.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I saw your ICJ post directing to here Well, my view, I 'love' AOSP + AOKP (especially IceColdJelly) JB ROMs, the speed and look is how I like my OS/phone. Just the deal breaker for me, at moment anyway is the photos with flash mainly, there are improvements in photos taken in day but they aren't "miles ahead" like SENSE camera is with photos taken with flash (in dark).
Having a couple kids that heaps of friends and relatives want to see pics of since we moved not too long ago to be closer to our respective parents, friends and outer family members 'need pics' to see us + the kids, it's made a big difference that as you have said, night photos look 'unpolished' compared to standard cameras and SENSE camera on our phone.
I use like 3 or 4 camera apps when I was/am in Jellybean to get the best day pic/video depending on condition, since for me, I really need photos to be of 'best value' comparing look vs speed of photo (the funny moments when kids do something funny or 'milestone', just moments worth remembering that have a tiny window to catch). I use ProCapture for nice still shots, camera jb+ for photos needed in a quick timely succession of each other, LGcamera for the camcorder side of things, the 'lgcamcorder' for me is hands down best video making app on the phone I have come across.
Yet with SENSE, I only need the 'SENSE camera, at least the HQ mod that removes HTCs stupid artificial compression limits. I chose the phone from the specs which included the camera, why limit it software side, bleh, whole different topic though, HTC are idiots for what they do post sale IMO, probably lost me as a recurring customer, but as said, that's another tale/topic
I literally moved back to SENSE since warmer weather (I'm in Australia) is coming to us, we'll be out and about in the dark more with the kids rather than 'snuggled up' in cold months at night. I have nerve damage related pain so the cold really exacerbates this, so I don't head out 'that much' in cold nights since it means I need extra pain meds and/or the pain gets to me.
So the warmer months means I'm out lots, probably most nights, we used to eat out/party 7 days a week, my wife managed cafes + restaurant type places, so she was shift work, either finished work early (2-3PM, 6am start), or 9pm to midnight finishes, so most of the time we were never home (or her awake) for 'dinner', so most of our circle of friends are people who are best caught up with "out", so I wanted a phone that was part phone, part computer (ssh etc, been a unix admin over 20 years, can't work due to pain but still have home network and friends hosting places/shells that I ssh to a bit), part camera, the less 'things' I need to carry, the better. When we're like going out shopping, eating, catching up with friends more often than not, it makes sense (boom tish) that the less things I have, the less chance of losing something or scratching it from 'full pockets'.
TL;DR, I love JB ROMs for speed and look, but 'need' SENSE camera (and phone isn't CID compatible for JB SENSE just yet) for the night time photos, I took like 25 GB (maybe more?) last month of photos and videos, having kids means we want lots of pics that capture 'that moment', non SENSE and flash just doesn't cut it sadly enough, ,,|, to HTC for the things they do for 'their platform'
*edit*
Oh, it's not AOSP developers being 'crap' for the camera, it's HTC and their locked down 'SENSE stuff' that they can't (fully?) emulate, use for stuff like you mentioned, SENSE - flash is the biggest thing to mind, I haven't looked, but I do hope the JB SENSE ROMs camera(s) do tap into 'SENSE' for taking photos, or else I'll be "stuck" on ICS SENSE again during summer/warmer months until someone gets the non sense camera to be what I get from sense camera for my particular needs.
The Sense app is tweaked specifically to work with the HOX camera sensor. AOSP camera obviously isn't and probably will never be as the libs/binaries for that are probably closed source.
I agree that it also looks horrible, but that's just how it is and there are plenty of other camera apps on Google Play. You could always modify it to how you like and try pushing it upstream to CM10 and even AOSP.
Same thoughts as me. If it wasn't for the Sense camera I'd have jumped on AOSP as soon as I got my One X. I use the phone primarily for taking photos, so the camera is a big factor for me. I just can't stand the AOSP camera layout on screen.

Lol Blunt.
I installed the newer Motorola camera from my Droid Mini onto the M. Everything seems to work for the most part, except the screen gets jumpy and glitchy when scrolling the settings wheel. It takes photos much faster. It was taking several seconds to take a photo with the original camera, so the newer Moto camera is a huge improvement in that regard. I don't know if the image quality is any better or worse, looked kind of bad to me, but I thought the photos looked kind of bad with the original camera ever since KK anyway. Might just be because indoors and not enough light though.
hey i am thinking about getting this

The Razr M's camera/sensor is terrible. My pictures come out foggy, grainy, and ever since KitKat...pinkish. Using Moto's new camera or Google's camera, my pictures don't come out with the pinkish hue, but there still terrible. My Galaxy Nexus takes better photos, and that camera sucks... bad.
Not as good as my iPhone 4S or Droid Mini. I just took a few indoor pics and they look out-of-focus and grainy. I don't know if they would look better with the stock camera since the new Moto camera replaces the stock camera app so I can't try both easily. Stock camera was just too damn slow to be useful. Moment is gone before it takes the pic. I feel like once upon a Jellybean, the phone used to take decent pics, and stock camera wasn't nearly as slow. I have a few pics that came out pretty decent that I was sure were taken on the M long ago, on JB. Granted, they were all outdoor pics.
I think even on KK, the pics it takes might be better than the Kyocera Hydro Elite I had (surprisingly bad for 8MP) and way better pics than the LG Lucid 2 which had the worst 5MP camera considering its speed/performance level was close to the RAZR M. Usually you only see cameras as bad as the Lucid 2's on cheap plastic single-core prepaid phones that come in blister packs.
thank u all very much i pressed it
Well after bith of your opinions and the revuews i read i think i will be looking else were for a phone fot work i need a cheap phone with a decent camera oh well thinking aout a used s3 or a used 4s thanks again guys if i could just strech for a used droid dna hope to see you all in anither forum
Hmmm, well, I guess the pics are not TOO awful.
Took a couple pics of my car with the newer Moto camera (don't make fun, it's an antique, lol). One in the morning, one in the afternoon. I think old camera probably took better pics, but was unbearably slow and the newer one takes pics instantly. I had HDR and spot focus turned off.

I pulled it from a Moto X system dump. This isn't the latest version, but it works well. The latest version is very glitchy on our phone.
