Is anybody able to view their panoramic photos in the photos app through daydream? I see only 4 out of 20 of my panoramic pictures. Nothing about these photos is different from the rest. The app simply doesn't show any other photos. One of the photos comes up as extremely blurry and never clears up.
Is there a specific folder that daydream is looking at when choosing which photos to look at through daydream?
I don't like Samsung because they always release unfinished, untested, and unbaked products, and for the first time I'm starting to feel that about Google with the daydream view considering how many other little issues I've noticed. If the software or hardware isn't ready, than you're better off not releasing it, rather than frustrating people.

I hope someone has the same issue or that this is a "normal" behavior of the HOX, but I don't think I ever noticed that until 2 days ago; anyway here's the problem.
When I take a picture with my camera, the picture looks great during review time (the option you set in settings 3 or 5 seconds). But when I open the same picture in gallery it seems that the quality is lost. I can notice that since as soon as I review the picture, I click on the lower left corner to open the picture again and I can see the difference between the "review picture" and the "saved picture". This is especially apparent in the front camera: when I take a picture of myself, my eyes look very sharp/cartoonish.
I have been running ARHD for a while since 14.2 and I am on 18.1 now. I installed lyapota mod pack which included camera jb mod extrim. I thought it was because of the mod so I did a clean installation of the rom with full wipe and the same problem was there.
Please advise.
Thanks to whoever will help!
May be a different viewer is used(triggered) to view the saved photos.
And thus thus could be a viewer app problem, not the photo quality itself.
Did you try to open these photos on your PC to see how are they looking there?

Yes I did, unfortunately it's the same problem.
Could it be that the preview is smaller than the actual image, and that the quality therefore looks better, because the preview is smaller..?
Try to post a picture you have taken, to show what you mean.

Here is a picture showing both scenarios. I took a screenshot during the review (on the left) and then i opened the actual image. I put them side by side. Notice the color fading and the noise/loss of sharpness in the right picture. This is with normal day light, the effect gets worse when in low light.
Looking for an app like HTC one highlights that easily takes your pictures and video from an event or location and creates a short memory video automatically with templates that can also be exported as videos to be shared.
any ideas
thanks
I've never heard of anything really... Not on android at least. Have you tried the Sony app "PlayMemories Online"?
I understand it has some features for presenting picture and video nicely, and facebook integration, but I've never used it. I am pretty sure it doesn't compile it all into one video or anything automagical like that, but it can't hurt to check it out. Maybe you can at least compromise with it.
Does anyone know what the Lucky Shot feature is?!?!? I'm the only one in the world trying to figure it out apparently. I'm wondering if it is on both 6P and 5X. I know that 5x has 120fps slow motion, and no burst mode. but this Lucky Shot thing has me confused, apparently it is NOT the same thing as SmartBurst.
from Nexus enginners Q&A on reddit:
"We've done a bunch of things to provide image stabilization: 1. The Nexus 6P/5X has a large 1.55um pixel camera and the amount of motion blur due to hand-shake is lower when you have large pixels. 2. We have a feature we call "lucky shot" internally. When you take a picture, behind the scenes, we select the best of 3 bursts of images. 3. When you use video, we have optic-flow-based image stabilization. 4. When you use SmartBurst, we select the best image from the burst (for example a shot with eyes open)."
It just means when you take a picture it actually takes 3 and chooses the best for you automatically.. It's not a setting or anything.. Just something that happens behind the scenes
cool, got it, but does it work on the 5X or just the 6P.
Both

I like this implementation better than the Moto X's one. It gets cluttered with double takes of pics, thus having me to look through them to see which to delete. I trust Google to pick the best pic
But I think only HDR+ uses this feature.
Because Google advertised HDR+ with exactly this feature.

"HDR+ also begins the alignment process by choosing the sharpest single shot from the burst. Astronomers call this lucky imaging, a technique used to reduce the blurring of images caused by Earth's shimmering atmosphere."
Hi,
Bit of a small issue if you can call it that, just a tad annoying. DNG photos don't display poorly, but certainly not at their max quality. Other apps like lightroom do display the image in full quality/sharpness. However i cannot think of a good reason why G photos would not do that?
G photos recognises this as a RAW image, it just seems a tad dissapointing it isn't showing it in the full glory in my opinion, its locally stored as well obviously. Any ideas on this one? It seems though that capability isn't there.
Attached is a small section of the same photo opened up in the 2 different apps, quite a large difference in them.
Does anyone have a recommendation on a Gallery app that actually knows what to do with portrait mode pictures? Seems like Google Photos is the only one that knows how to properly categorize/show portrait pictures. Every other gallery app I have used shows every portrait picture and the non portrait picture as it's own album. Clutters up a gallery really quick.
Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't too much off topic but felt like it was worth mentioning. My favorite all time gallery app if one hasn't tried it is Sony's Album app. To me it is hands down the best app when dealing with a lot of photos. There is a universal port here on XDA if anyone is interested, thank you.
just curious - if google photos works, why use anything else?
Sony Album app was always great and has been ported to work on pretty much any android phone

How does it handle pictures taken in portrait mode? Every other gallery app I've used creates a whole album for every portrait picture taken? So far I've only found Google Photos to handle portrait shots correctly.
