One of the most popular features introduced Monday with Android 4.2 was a revamped camera/gallery app (that we got a peek at early). The camera introduces a new focus/settings UI (popping up with an "options ring" only when you need it), a refreshed gallery interface, and of course – Photo Sphere.
Photo Sphere, for those who missed it, allows users to capture 360° images of their surroundings a la Google Maps, using XML data in concert with an enormous JPG file to help you save an immersive photo experience of where you've been.
The interface, which is activated from the camera app, is an ethereal grid plane that will guide you with helpful blue dots to each frame needed for a full sphere. Besides viewing your spherical creations on your handset, you can upload the images to Google+ for a web-based 360 experience.
As I mentioned earlier, the downloadable camera/gallery app also comes with editing options. Many of these are options we saw debuted in Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's still worth taking a quick look.
Users can add general filters, frames, and contrast effects, in addition to custom cropping, rotating, mirroring, and a handful of other handy editing features.
The build also includes a slightly refreshed Gallery. It has the same launcher icon and overall functionality like swiping from the camera app to a "filmstrip view," but the UI is slightly updated from its 4.0 and 4.1 counterparts.
To get the new camera/gallery on your device, you'll first of all need to be rooted. Assuming your device is already rooted, you'll just need to download the zip below and flash as normal.
Note: Original credit goes to XDA and AndroidCentral Forums but the download below contains a camera/gallery build that we patched to allow users of non-Nexus devices to capture and view Photo Spheres.

Hi everybody, I've flashed the New Camera/Gallery on AOKP Build.03, have problem with it, there's no Preview images but it captures !
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
downloaded and flashed today at lunch. first it rebooted weird and killed half my battery but after another reboot all was ok. camera is there and new ui is nice. Photsphere wants to work but i dont quite get it. It seems hard to line up the first dot sometimes and then where to go? The most i got was a few images stitched together, its not quite right yet or i am doing it wrong.
I am running slimbean 2.8
ok this is THIRD Thread about this.
Is there any difference between the three versions on here? OR why is there THREE threads?! very confusing pls fix

You can go to this theard if you want.
Sphere Not stitching well on i9100
Does any one get a nice stitch from sphere option?
I dont...
What is the max resolution of pictures? Sphere files seem to be much less detailed and sized in Sphere mode
This is just being posted for others with the same setup and might have been wondering about compatibility.
I am running the CleanRom 4.05. I downloaded the zips for the 4.2 keyboard and the 4.2 photosphere camera. I flashed them and they are working fine so far. I did read that when using the Photosphere camera that you have to focus and take an initial picture to prevent it from crashing.
When downloading Photosphere it creates an app icon which looks like a camera and it creates another gallery. So you will have two icons that say camera and two that say gallery. Stock gallery and camera still work fine.
I got the links of this XDA site. I just searched for them. Sorry I don't recall which exact links I followed.
just a quickie. is there a way to change the default camera used for apps in paranoid android.
i stupidly decided to try and install Galaxy S2 - 4.2 Photosphere and Gallery FULLY WORKING from xda onto the phone.
since doing it video will not record from rear camera. front is fine just not rear. apps that use their own camera are fine like vine etc but i was wanting to try the new instagram video but this abviously calls the defualt camera as it displays the same behaviour. front records but rear camera wont.
i want to restore back to stock camera without hopefully haveing to reinstall rom and losing all my stuff
seems to be ALL roms based on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2
i have tried 6 roms now and all do the same thing with the rear camera. if i install a rom based on 4.1.2 everything goes back to normal.
for now the best rom with everything working is the latest neatrom but its a memory hog. i have 100mb left of ram i am having to constantly clear ram to keep it running smooth.
does anyone know of a good custom rom based on 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 that makes use of the old 4.1.2 camera?
just going to try wanamlite as thats based on 4.1.2
i just want my instagram video fix lol

What rom are you using?
so far i have tried
1. paranoid android 3.60 unofficial
2. paranoid android 3.40 official
3. XenonHD Stable-10.0 (23.06.13)
4. [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy SII (I9100) - Updated [Jun 23, 2013] (works on rear camera but goes green but the recorded footage shows as normal)
5. [JB 4.2.2][AOKP/CM10.1/PA] ReVolt JB I9100 [Ver.4.3]
i have tried several other but have deleted the files so cant remember them.
the only success i have 100% is with neatrom which works perfect but the memory useage is just silly. i have less than 100mb ram remaining every 2 mins. avatar works as an output but when viewing its green
Finaly Finaly Finaly yay
dont know if its a kernel thing or what but i just flashed
[ROM][RESURRECTION REMIX][JB 4.2.2] [23.06.13] Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON
out of pure desperation and it works it did update my kernel though.
so if theres any n00bs out there like me who just want some instagram fun with latest android then go for [RESURRECTION REMIX].
its a good rom as well

the 4.2 camera with photosphere is buggy and video doesnt work. I posted in themes in apps the new 4.3 camera from s4 google edition and its working perfectly even with recording, im on aosp based carbon rom
i downloaded ics camera etc that was a good workaround but some apps use the defualt camera. this is where i struggle. and i spoke too soon
[ROM][RESURRECTION REMIX][JB 4.2.2] [23.06.13] Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON
has crashed on me 3 times in last hour so not that good lol. may try and nick the camera from it.
Thank you
Thank you for the link to 4.3 camera. it works great and sorts the instagram bug out.
unfortunately i have just found out that 4.2.2 doesnt support vine rofl. so back to square one
Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.
Best,

What happens if you try to focus while recording a video?

hi
I use CM 11 Milestone 9 release, and everything is working properly...almost...
Last time i've installed Google Camera from Play Store, and there is the problem.
The camera seems buggy, but i think it's a rom issue, because on PA is working as it should.
On CM exactly the Photosphere and Panoramas aren't working, instead of camera view I see black screen (with all camera interface of course)
Maybe someone knows how to fix it.
tnx
Same issue for me. Google goggles is broken, too.
Hey everyone. I switched to KK on my T-989 recently, but I have some issues with Google Camera. The Photosphere function works, but if I switch from normal camera mode to Photosphere and back, it breaks the viewfinder (and sometimes FC's the camera app)
The issue is identical in both Carbon ROM and SlimKat.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there's an alternative camera for photosphere that is can try? Or if there's a KK ROM that works with Google Camera?
