Hi guys and gals,
I've never tried to use photospheres or panorama mode on my phone before and decided to give it a whirl yesterday. It didn't work. It was just a gray screen with dots/rectangle telling me to move the circle into the bigger circle. I can move the circle and "gray dot world" around but that's it. My current rom is CM11 official nightlies (I update it every day or two). I've tried reflashing gapps (with the .forcegallery file in place), removing gapps, using the 4.4.4 micro module gapp, the aroma installer for photosphere fix, some other xda thread's JB photosphere zip, reflashing to stock, reflashing to other ROMs, downloading google camera from the play store, and doing all of the previous gapp stuff on all of those ROMs. I'm completely at a loss for what to do next. Any ideas? Photosphere and panorama are the only things wrong with the stock camera and everything else is fine. It isn't a big deal but would be nice to get it working!

Find and install the latest "Banks" GAPPS package. When you DL google cam from the market it doesn't install as system and I think that's the problem.
Ok, just did a search and realized that Banks has stopped making GApps packages but explains a bit in the thread why and gives a pointer. He also says that the zips will be available still for awhile.

When I used his packages I always had photosphere working.

Thanks but unfortunately that hasn't been working. I've been using the 8-11 standard release (and also the gallery/old camera micromodule when that inevitably fails to fix it).

You have tried Banks GApps and not PA GApps? Or both?
It very well could be a kernel issue. I am not sure because it has been awhile since I tried CM, but have you tried a different kernel?
Solid kernel or f93 kernel should work with gproj CM11 (that's the official sources used).
It should work on any GEE rom as well but the camera quality is a kind of poor although there is a fix in progress for that.
I would suggest a clean flash, Banks GApps that include the Google camera (standard) and nothing extra as far as camera/gallery and then see what happens.

Tried both unfortunately. Thank you for the kernel idea, I hadn't thought of that. I think I will keep an eye out and wait for them to fix the camera quality first because right now my camera is perfect other than the gimicky photosphere thing I wanted to try. I'll try and remember to update this thread to provide a fix when I find it.

Hi
Can you please share how you fixed this problem? I am having the same problem with my Note 2, N7100.
Oppo n1 working with 5.1 cm12.1 temasek v10.2 21april15 release
i tried on my oppo n1,
i got it flash from the program called shua ji jing ling aka flash rom genie (most prolly a china based)
this is a potential for all n1 user to try the 5.1
the hiccups i faced so far
-the googleplay store is not inside, i still trying to get it to work
- the default camera apps can take one picture after that the shutter wont move the second one, im using the open camera for camera
- so far so good for the rest, will try to report back if i face any more problems or headaches
I didn't like this ROM. Simply because automatic rotation refused to work.
Alternatively, use Mokee, from www.mokeedev.com
Available for 4.4, 5.0, and 5.1. No major flaws with Mokee apart from the occasional camera problem. Comes with an OTA update app as well, which makes it a lot easier.
Just install Minimal Gapps over the top and everything is good.
thank u omicron
Will try when I have time n proper connection to dl
By the way, Xposed for 5.1 works pretty well with this, HOWEVER; It is NOT recommended to be installed.
With Xposed installed, you CANNOT update this ROM with the built in update functions. You have to download the full ROM and do a full wipe. Not an issue, if you don't mind doing it, but it does get irritating after doing it so many times.
two great and stable 5.1.1 rom for N1

I always do a full wipe before flashing a ROM. I tried most of your ports, but unfortunately the rotation didn't work. Good work with them, though, they are very high quality. I'll give them a go again.
Are you saying I need to flash a ColorOS ROM?

I'm currently in the same predicament. I've tried using diffent gapps that i've seen some forums users suggest. I've had no resolution.

This is partially a CM issue, which should be fixed and merged into nightlies by now, and partly related to opengapps. A few weeks ago, opengapps commited some code that dealt with cm setup wizard, to ill effects, then, they changed pre-odex, and broke their packages for CM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/qa-gapps-android-5-1-5-0-4-4-t3124506/page33
Don't assume that nightlies are stable, or that all gapps packages function equally.
fixed with cm 13.1 4/4/2016 and nano gapps 4/5/2016

Can you check your tablet and see what the last 3 numbers are for google play services that are installed?
same thing happened to me, CM13 + nano opengapp,= bootloop ...that opengapp is starting to be very annoying... I'll have to find another source for gapps.

Hey guys!
I'm learning Android app development and decided to put the skills I learnt to some use, so here it is-
This app is for people like me who prefer the higher exposure time of the Stock HAL in low light (brighter and less noisy photos), but at the same time want to use all the features of Sultan's HAL like 4K video, etc.
It can also be used if you want to compare the two HALs or decide to revert to Stock in the future (no need to dirty flash your ROM now!).
Features:
Switch between Stock and Sultan's HAL on the fly (no reboot required!)
Backup and restore Stock HAL files (no need of a revert zip now)
Launch your default Camera from within the app
Should work on all ROMs 5.1.1 and above (EDIT: It doesn't seem to be working on OOS. Will try to fix it in the near future).
Will even work when Sultan updates his HAL
WARNING: This app is designed to run only on a rooted OPX running Android 5.1.1 and above. It might break your camera if used on any other phone!
Installation Instructions:
Install the APK file
Dirty flash your current ROM (only if you have already flashed Sultan's HAL)
Press the Backup button in the app (Status should say "Not Installed" at this time)
Flash Sultan's HAL zip from recovery
Usage:
If you're performing a clean ROM install in the future, be sure to hit the backup button within the app before flashing Sultan's HAL.
If Sultan releases an update to his HAL, be sure to switch to his HAL from within the app before flashing the updated zip.
If for whatever reason you encounter any issues, dirty flash your ROM and follow the Installation instructions again. This should fix them.
Credits:
@Sultanxda for his awesome HAL!
Note: Neither Stock HAL files nor Sultan's HAL files are included in this app
Any bug fixes, feature requests and reviews are always welcome (I'll be working on it only when I have free time).
Finally, it goes without saying- I'm not responsible for any damage whatsoever caused to your device by using this app!

Great application and idea, good job, but for some reason when switching to stock HAL my camera apps stop working. I was following your instructions and flashed HAL after installing the app and backuping the old HAL. Any suggestions?

No, this wont work if you're using Sultan's ROM as it comes with the custom HAL pre installed. You would have to manually copy the Stock HAL files from CM13 for it to work.

Does this only happen when switching to Stock HAL? It works fine for me.
Which ROM are you using?
Try dirty flashing it and following the instructions once again.

It creates a copy with the extension of .stock in the same directory where it is originally located.

It only works with Sultan HAL and when switching to stock HAL, camera stops working. I am on CM13 Official latest nightly with bluspark kernel, xposed and supersu 2.65. First time I've tried it I had OOS 3.0.1 camera installed from the other thread. Then I dirty flashed without installing that camera and tried your app with the stock google camera from opengapps, still no luck. I really, really want this working on my phone

This is great in theory and i've waited for something like this to hopefully be made in which I am very greatful for. However, I'm on rooted OOS 2.2.0 with Blue spark and the same issue occurs for me - It says action performed successfully when applying the Stock HAL, but when launching the camera app it says "Unknwon error".
I have tried clearing cache and data for the stock camera app, but no luck.

Same problem as him - "Unknown Error" in OOS camera and "Can't connect to the camera" in google camera. Tried cleaning cache aswell, even tried with cleaning davlik/cache after installing sultan HAL.
For some reason my screen recorder cuts the videos before I can't record everything, so I can't provide a video. I can extract logs or something if you need them?

Maybe a direct option to clear "camera App" data (not onlycache) could help.
I'm trying the MOD right now.
Edit : same problem for me.
I had to wipe camera app data, , launch it from drawer and then it worked.
Without that, camera app couldn't be launched from Hal Switcher.

I just tried this, still doesn't work for me unfortunately.
It doesn't matter what app it is so therefore I presume it's not just the stock camera app it's to do with something technical that can hopefully be fixed with a bit of tweaking.

Hi, I updated the camera app on play store, but after that it never worked anymore. When I open it, it gets stucked in a black screen with the camera logo in the center of the screen and then crashes. Can somebody please help me to fix this issue? Thanks in advice
Latest Google Camera (or version installed with gapps) only works on google devices (and maybe android one).
That is why there is GCam Ports available, and to make these work, you need to downgrade gapps to version that doesn't include Google Camera (Pico/Nano). Otherwise they will conflict even if you remove the app with TiBu etc.
Thank you very much! And how can I downgrade gapps? I have the super package

Dirty flash a smaller gapps package, be careful with what launcher your using because it maybe removed in the process.
Backup before hand just in case other google apps your using get removed. Reinstall from backup or play.
As for Gcam Port, i use this version from this thread.
As another alternative look at Mi A2 camera port for access to duel camera features.
Let me know if I got it: to downgrade the package, I only have to install a smaller package and it will automatically remove the bigger one? Is there a tutorial for it?
Okay, I managed to do everything right. But now I have another problem. The camera that you sent to me, crashes when I try to open the front camera. So I tried a bunch of other cameras, and the only one that works is the Arnovas, even if it doesn't save the selfies with hdr+ activated and when I try to take a selfie with flash at night, I only get a black image. This is the one that has less problems :laugh:
