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.

I installed the Android 4.2 Camera + Keyboard bundle and both are working well except for one issue. I cant take and view the sphere photos, but sometimes I get the camera app freezing or not opening. I have two cameras installed and I'm thinking maybe it's good to have only one?

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...

Like sarani84 says, before you hit the capture button tap the screen to manually focus and than take the picture. Everything works for me on AOKP M1 with mikeramsay's apk.

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.

This is a noob question, but does this work like the stock Gallery/Camera combo where you can see your Picasa folders? When I was rooted and using a stock Rom I would always upload immediately to Picasa and delete from SD/phone and still be able to see my pics in the folder. Since I switched to JellyBam Rom, I no longer see anything from Picasa, although I can still upload pics to Picasa. I flashed GAPPS 4.1.2, and everything works on the apps, except for the Picasa/Gallery thing. Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

This is correct! Thanks for the heads up on the AT&T SGS III. However since "Action" scene is required to be able to use without freezing users should also note that "Action" scene does not have Flash functionality. (No Pictures in the dark). "Auto" mode still freezing up when Auto-Focusing. I'd say if you want the camera to play with Photosphere and never take pictures in the dark then this APK is for you.

That's is working with no problem on JB 4.1 TW base.And the good part : it not replace the TW camera!

I don't know about saving to SD. It doesn't delete your gallery it adds another one beside your original.

About the 2 gallery's/2 cameras: In your app drawer after flashing the first one is stock, second one is photosphere. Just go to the app info and disable the stocks.

I've been running this for about 3 weeks and I have never had to set the scene to anything in order for it to work I just leave it on Auto. It just worked 100% straight outa flashing.
Also, because of this I have working flash as well.

No, it's not unstable. You did something wrong, or your ROM is interfering.

Google Edition Camera App

Google Edition Camera apk
Wondering if anyone was able to get it to work on Shelnutt2's CM10.1. I keep getting force closed on camera, gallery works fine though.
[SOLVED] It wasn't working because of a mod on the media_profiles.xml file that I was using. Once I went to the normal file, it started working.

I can confirm rear and front cameras as well as photosphere work on Lifeless 14 however photos are limited to 8mp.

Worked for me running the last beanstalk... Getting option for 13mb pics

Is that the one from Banks gapps?
Edit: I flashed photosphere. Then the new camera app installed; however, it force closes when opening the camera app.

I just tried on Shelnut2 CM 10( build 6.27).
What I did to make it work was (using Titanium Backup) uninstall Gallery. You will get a notice if you want t, uninstall gallery2.apk, hit yes. Then install Google edition camera apk and the camera should work with 13 MP, not reboot necessary (although it is recommended).

Interesting, in Titanium, I see Gallery 1.1.400001 and when I try to un-install, it says "Cannot remove system app, Failed to locate the apk file"
It's weird because with other system apps, I can remove without issue.
Edit: Figured it out. It was because of a mod on the media_profiles.xml file causing it to force close.

This may be a dumb question, but where are you getting photosphere from to flash before installing the new camera app?
Also will it work for stock ROMs as well?
Does this replace the stock camera app?

It should work on stock roms as others have done it. I don't think it replaces the stock camera, instead you may have 2 camera apps (make a backup of the current camera/gallery app before installing).
Have you tried just installing it like a normal app? That should work.
If you need the photosphere addon, you can find it here: Banks Gapps Photosphere

Works nicely on Jellybeer.

its the media profiles that messes it up. i pulled the one out of beanstalk and moved it to the ETC folder and it works now. heres the file!

Works well with AOKP, btw I didn't the flashable zip that was included in that thread and had no issues at all.

I'm not rooted and I got it working fully but for some reason mine only goes to 8mp. Not a big deal for me but still would like the option.

Yo! If you still want the Samsung Camera......
Go in the .zip file for the ROM you're using, and extract the Samsung Camera from System > Apps.
Put the Camera.apk on your SD card, and push it/install it to System > Apps using Root Explorer.
Change the permissions to RW-R--R--, and check your App Drawer for your new app. If it isn't there, reboot and wallah, you have the Samsung Camera again!
