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.

T-Mobile Galaxy S3 T999 w/AOKP M1 [4.1.2]:
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.

How do you fix permissions? I have my photo sphere working, but when I take a picture with flash, app freezes.

[Q] Photo Sphere..I don't get it!

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?

I think your gallery app is not working properly... try to change the GMS core. Apk

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

[Q]ParanoidKangdroid camera help

Hello, i just flashed paranoidkangdroid on my AT&T samsung galaxy s3 and I noticed something. I saw that the gapps had installed the crappy jellybean camera, and not the new one with the photosphere, and gestures etc.
I want to flash the 4.2 camera .apk, but I don't want the 4.1 camera and gallery sitting there being a nuinsance.
I went to go uninstall it using titanium backup/root explorer, but I can't seem to find the 4.1 camera or gallery .apk
Where exactly are they and what are they called?

The easiest would be reflashing the ROM and then flashing 4.2 Gapps, but then you get all 4.2 apps. Otherwise you could download a root file explorer from the market (nandroid first) and then delete all gallery in /system/apps. Then flash your 4.2 camera.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

If I reflash, will I lose the group sms capability that paranoidkangdroid has?

I installed the 4.2 camera and went into Settings> Apps selected the 4.1 camera and clicked "disable" removed the 4.1 camera and gallery and left 4.2
I'm running PAC-Man but it should be the same on yours.

I have had zero issues with "freezing up" whatsoever. Perhaps that was before we had a proper AOKP build. But now everything works. Though after flashing this, I have 2 camera and 2 gallery apps. lol

Using a file explorer remove gallery2.apk from your system/app folder, reboot good to go!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

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.

Idk but every time I went from stock builds Picasa broke unless the dev rebuilds it in. But answer your question no it does not.

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!

Then you can use normal camerah to take your photos with flash still and only use the google camerah when you want to use that weird ass photosphere this is how i use it on rootbox runing task kernal =)(

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.

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.
