[Q] Photosphere and Panorama not working

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.

Nexus 7 GAPPS for CM 13

im having the worst time ever, i flash the latest nightly of cm13 and the gapps from the gapps.org site, open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160327 and i get crashes when CM boots now and google services isnt working. ive tried the clearing data, cache, rebooting, etc and its still giving errors. im not exactly new a this (been using CM off and on since CM7 on htc evo) and have had most nexus devices. ive tried using different versions of twrp, 2.8.7, 2.8.6, 3.0.0.0, 3.0.0.1 nothing is working as it should. what am i doing wrong

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.

Questions on updating Custom Rom

Hi,
i'm rather new with rooting, flashing and all the stuff that comes with it.
Now i have an Oppo Find7 and i managed to install the following:
-TWRP recovery
-OmniRom 5.1 nightly
-Gapps 5.1
I'm pleased everything worked but now i saw OmniRom 6.0 was available, when i tried to flash it with gapps 6.0 i encountered the first problem:
-The install of OmniRom went well but when i try to install Gapps 6.0 stock, it is saying i don't have enough storage? Can i somehow increase or free up this storage to it can fit?
Second question: If the above is possible, is there a way to flash OmniRom 6.0 and Gapps 6.0 without the loss of data? or do i still have to backup and restore with titanium backup?
Thanks in advance

Seriously? no one can answer this?

Stock gapps are too big, install Pico package
Inviato dal mio Find7 utilizzando Tapatalk

You should start by having ColorOS 2.1.5i installed and storage unified then install TWRP then flash OmniROM 6
Need to start clean.

Why should I reinstall colorOS? I thought once I have TWRP I could just wipe and reinstall a different custom rom.
As for the gapps package, I am using more apps than the Pico one is providing. Can I still install the others from the market?
But so there is no way to somehow open up more space to install the 6.0 omni nightly and gapps? Plus no way to install it without to do the backup and restore with titanium backup? (install so that all the apps stay the same after the update.)

Re-read my post. Unified storage is the key. It's best to do it from ColorOS. OmniROM is not a fat ROM, there should be enough space. It's exactly how I did it, although I did use one of the cut down Gapps versions as I remove a lot of Google bloat anyway.
http://opengapps.org/
Nano version should do the trick.

Well when I still had colorOs I already unified the storage because I couldn't fit more apps on it then I wanted.
It's the reason I came to use omniRom because cyanogenmod doesn't work nice with unified storage and didn't work on my phone.
Could my phone be ununified after flashing cyanogenmod or omni then? Because I never changed it back to Un unified
I have seen all the versions of gapps, although a lot of the smaller/less app packages doesn't have all the apps I am normally using.

Google Camera not working after update (LineageOS 15.1)

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:

MI-Globe and MIUI.eu

Hello friends, since day 1 of my unlocked bootloader i'm using Masik. But as this ROM is no more, i'm struggling to find a good MIUI custom ROM.
I tried MI-Globe, that is based on MIUI.eu, i like it but i still find it very bloated on the gapps aspect (i has the google app, the OK Google apps and even a Google Lens app! I want none of that, i wish it was equivalent of the pico open gaps).
Is the MIUI.eu (the pure ROM, not the MI-Globe version) "bloated" on the gapps aspect too? Or it has only the bare bones gapps that i wish?
Also, if it is, can you guys recommend me a MIUI ROM that fit this? I kind of want a china ROM that has no Xiaomi bloat (and ads/spy) that i can flash gapps my self.

miui eu also got built in gapps, no difference. maybe you can try to debloat it by yourself.

I happened to use MIUI.eu on my phone as I wanted a better MIUI and it's better every way.
And yes the MIUI.eu ROM is not bloated at all , it has the MIUI apps pre-built but not many Google apps... It has only the main Google app and the play Store built in.. This was the case on the MIUI.eu global beta and it might also be the same on the stable version
