[Resolved] How to view Photosphere photos? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have the 4.2 camera installed and successfully captured a photosphere photo. Now, how do I view it on the device? I can open the photo in Gallery but it's all crammed on the screen. I'm supposed to be able to pan around like in Google Street View, right?
Is there a specific version of Gallery that I need?

Have you tried using QuickPic? I don't know if it will work as i don't have the new camera, but it might

You need to view it in the gallery that came with the 4.2 camera. When you use that gallery, there are extra "buttons" to push that allow you to interact with it. I normally use quickpic as well, but it doesn't give those options.

When viewing the photo in your 4.2 gallery, there should be a button on the bottom of the photo you press which enables to the photo to look as though on google street view.

I see that button but it doesn't do anything. It lights up to let me know I tapped it, but then the gallery crashes. Should I re-flash the 4.2 camera? Or can someone point me to a download link for just the gallery?
I appreciate the help - you guys are great!
Side note: if I upload the photos to Google+ I can view them from a PC. Looks pretty sweet.
But I want to show them to my parents next week and they don't have internet so I really need to get these working on my phone.

the gallery and camera are included in the same package. i don't believe you can just flash separately. i would just re-flash again, and fix permissions. then it's the 2nd gallery in your app list that you need to use.
wasnt aware that you could do that with google+. maybe i actually have a reason to use it now. thanks.

If you're really wanting to get the photosphere to work, you may want to try a full wipe and then flash the 4.2 GAPPS
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB 11/12/12 Build
Task650 Underwear kernel. (Conservative/Noop)

I was able to resolve this by downloading the camera from a different source. No need to do a full wipe or install any of the other gapps.

3D gallery missing from HTC's official update?

I am running the rooted version of the HTC's official 2.2 OTA update.
Everything works well. I was really looking forward to the new 3D gallery in Froyo but I have the same old gallery. Though the app has been renamed from Pictures to Gallery, it still looks and functions the same.
Am I missing something or is it there somewhere? I hope someone knows the answer.
Thanks
Mods, Am I allowed to post a link or is that considered warez?
Not too sure what is and isn't considered questionable as far as the software that comes bundled with some default ROMS goes.

the 3d gallery is from the nexus one only, nothing to do with htc, you can download a mooded one from the market search for 3d gallery

its not wares unless its an aplication that you have to pay for so for example if a rom came with a free version of copilot, and u shared it that would be warez but apps that are made by the phone developers arnt
Didn't want to go getting myself into trouble but if you think it's acceptable then i've uploaded the gallery here for anyone who wants it:
http://www.martinsamuels.me.uk/phone/gallery_flan.apk
At least I think this is the one OP is referring to.

do that version also force close then i press the camera button in 3dgallery???
Thanks, thats the app I was referring to.
And yes, it does force close when I click the camera button. Is there a fix for that?
Are there other goodies in the N1 ROM that we are missing on the HTC's 2.2 on the desire.
Thanks for all the answers....
Theres a fixed camera version somewhere. I had it, but didnt like it
Can you help us find it?
I CAN ONLY SAY:::I think the gallery 3d is not good...compared to the stock htc gallery its...very laggy and it takes to long
with kind regards...Alex

I think he is saying it does not work. Because the framework for the camera and gallery apk have changed. So the dependencies are not there to make the camera show up in the gallery? Could have understood. I think he wants someone who knows what they are doing make it work.

No, he's saying the camera apk doesn't work on ICS. The gallery app does work in ICS and it adds the ability to go to the camera from the gallery.

as stated in the Op the jelly bean camera does not work but the ics does this is mainly for the camera icon to be put in gallery as one app for us of course it will not work if the framework is different
and for jelly bean there is no camere apk its all in one apk gallery and camera

I think you could have avoided people misunderstanding your post if you used proper punctuation. Just a little observation

Screenshots please!
Sweet!
Top bar showing the camera widget, it allows you to set it to the default camera you use in case you have different camera's.
It did say the apk wasn't installed however it still works.
Sweet!
I'm running PARANOIDANDROID V1.6 NEW[4.0.4][FF18][Hybrid][06/28/12]
Also showed as not installed for me too, can't find the app so maybe it really didn't install. Asked for a ton of permissions too.
Is this apk really kosher?

Didn't work for me either. Looks kosher though (I ripped the same apk from my GNex). It's just that my Xperia Z doesn't want to take it in.

360 Photosphere?

Is anybody else excited for this feature? I'm sure we'll get the 4.2 update within the next few months.
I know it's more of a novelty feature, just like panorama mode, but it would be fun to use imo.
Once this feature is widely available, I think Google should allow people to add their Photoshere photos to google maps.
you can add them to google maps. which is close enough or exactly what you meant.

Next few months...probably more like 9 months going with their current track record...the gs3 still hasnt received 4.1, and that is a much larger customer base...

Flash in zip, this is a working file it installs og android camera and gallery to give you photosphere, your old cam and gallery will still be there but will not do photosphere to find the feature open your new cam app change the type by tapping cam icon and picking photosphere ONLY the gallery installed can view the pics properly enjoy
we will never get 4.2 ...
Very cool, thank you. Once we get a factory Odin image, I'll take the plunge and root and flash.
Anyone else getting crappy spheres generated? They just don't look as good as the one on the demo video.
Edit: I guess it's hit or miss; I just did another one and it looks awesome. Some of the edges are still a bit bad but overall it was very nice, considering it mashed up like 12 pics

[APPS] A more complete JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery

Hi,
I've created a flashable zip based on the files extracted by dmmarck (it's all his doing! I'm just packaging it). Just flash from CWM or TWRP.
Everything should work: regular pics, photosphere, gallery and editor. On my device, it all coexists nicely with my existing camera and gallery.
Edit: just noticed that garner had updated his own thread with more things working. It seems his archive contains fewer files, which is great if you want to save space. If it's not working for you, though, try this version.
Thanks cyansmoker!
For me garner's zip didnt work. Yours did!
Trying this out now! Thanks!

Anyone having heat issues with the new cam?
I've heard claims that, yes, it can run your phone pretty hot.
Not sure what it's doing.
Works perfect!

I just noticed that JB 4.2 camera does not have some features what ICS/JB camera has...
Is there any way to get JB 4.1.2 camera for an second camera without another gallery app? ICS camera ("+" version from play store) does not have good features what JB 4.1.2 camera has! :/

Thanks a lot, I was trying to download the zip from another thread but it just keep disconnecting and restarting. this is working perfectly.:thumbup:
Currently using dark paranoid 2.25.1 tablet mode and this camera app working much better and faster than the stock 4.1.2 camera. Loved that photosphere shots.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
the ONLY problem I am having with the photosphere is that it seems to snap pictures when the blue dot isnt directly center of the target. Its close to but not directly center which leads to most of my pictures being "off" from one another.. I wonder if theres a way to slow down the speed or pause it for a second so the blue dot lines up correctly

In my case, I found out that actually slowing down while panning with my phone made things better. I guess my phone was having a hard time figuring out what I was aiming it at.
i've tried to slow it down also (this isnt the panorama selection but the photosphere), but once the blue dot to line up the next shot gets close to the target recticle center where it should be(might be a better word), it snaps the next picture before even getting in the center if that makes sense
I get force close when opening both camera and gallery app. Hmm.. not sure what's wrong though.
I have a cwm backup, but is there other way to restore old camera back? maybe someone has the original apk for camera and gallery?
if not I'll just do a full restore.

I've tried the other zip and this one. neither seems to work for me. i only see the normal camera and gallery apps. i am using BAMF current rom. I do see a gallery2.apk, gallery4, and googlegallery. any idea what's going on? is there a way to create a shortcut to the new ones?
nvm, fixed it, renamed other apks, changed perm and rebooted...

I believe that as long as you delete /system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and reboot your phone, you should have access to your old camera.
Of course it is different from ROM to ROM...

rename the gallery2.apk to gallery.bak, then try to install. I dont see a gallery4 on mine (current Bamf), just a GALAXY4, which is a lwp and googlegallery is what the new one is (I think).
Will it work in Galaxy s3?

[Q] Photosphere Camera black screen

After using CyanogenMod versions 9 through 10.2 I made the decision to switch to SlimRom and I am now running SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 4.1. During my entire time with CM, I had an easy time working with ported photosphere enabled camera apk's. However, upon the move to SlimRom, more specifically, the update to KitKat, the photosphere mode of the camera apk I had been using for several months was not working. Although I could take pictures with every other mode of the camera, whenever I switched to photosphere mode, the viewing screen would turn black, with all the rest of the UI working as normal. When I go to move it around, I can still see the dots for lining up the first photo, but it won't even let me take photos with this blacked out screen. I've attached a photo of the app in photosphere mode for better clarification, and I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out here.
Thanks in advance!
I have Slimkat as well. I do know the included Camera does not have Photosphere. If you are using a different app then please post a link so I can give it a whirl and post my findings.

I have pm'ed you the links. My status as a new user prevents me from posting outside links
Yup got it. I will take a look and post back. Have you ever tried the Google Edition Camera ?
EDIT - I tried the Camera app from
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/a...e/NewCameraApp[2].apk
It worked pretty well for me. I am on Slim-d2lte-4.4.2.build.4.4-WEEKLY-3771and KT747 Kernel.
Weird...that was the one that started me on my search for new photosphere apks...
I tried installing the GE one and saw your edit, tried that one again, without luck on either of them so I tried another full wipe, updated to that latest weekly and after a few reboots and system app changes, the GE one appears to work for me. No black screen, the images stitch well and I can view them afterwards, seems like its back to my expectations. Thank you very much.
Glad its working for you. Please see the note on Slim Rom's home page. Google has release a new Camera app. That's working wonders for me.
I will also try that.

I'm running into this exact same issue on the 2014-04-23-d2lte LiquidSmooth nightly using the new Google Camera. I clean flashed that and installed PA GApps Full + Keyboard. I wasn't running into this issue on PacMan Rom though, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
