I just put cm10.1 on my S3 and it is working pretty well except for it doesn't have photosphere. I installed gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from goo.im/gapps. I also tried installing a bunch of other camera/gallary zips I found around the web and while some of them gave me photosphere, the camera would freeze after one picture. Gallery would also often give me errors opening, and the camera app would sometimes say it was unable to find the camera.
I am back to gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip but would really love to have photosphere, any idea what can be done to get it?
Thanks.
You typically won't find photosphere in gapps packages because that only works (properly?) on Nexus devices.
If you look around though on this site you will find photosphere installs that work. I believe they work with limitations though, not perfectly.

Well I used to have it working before going to cm10.1 when I was just using the samsung stock rom rooted. I tried the same zip I used back then and that didn't work but I'm guessing that was because if was meant for 4.1.

On Google play I've seen reviews where chrome beta does work for them, but there are also many other reviews that say that chrome crashes right after opening the app. I'm guessing the crashes only happen on custom roms, all the reviews say so. I'm just wondering why this happens.
I wish I knew. It crashes on CM10 for me on my Skyrocket.

Custom roms are not official releases. They have bits and pieces missing that the official will have. It's amazing as many apps do run on them.

Same for me, it crashes when it gets to the loading synced bookmarks part. If you clear cache for it, then start it up, it's more obvious. I've removed it from my phone. Works fine on me Nexus 7 with CM10.1, so it's not all custom ROM's.

I think only the official skyrocket tw rom works with chrome beta... Hope to see this fixed, I'm curious to see how much difference there is between the default chrome and chrome beta.
Hello,
I am having problems with a second-hand skyrocket and the rear (main) camera. The guy who sold it to me told me he did something to it (software-wise) that broke the rear camera and it won't initialize or display/take pictures from it. I have downloaded a few different camera apps that would try to initialize or start the rear camera to no affect, but skype, google hangouts, and rear camera only apps work fine.
I have tried going from stock 2.3.6, stock 4.0.4, stock 4.1.2, and most recently both CM 10.1.3 and 10.2 nightly on it to no avail. Most recently on the CM roms, when I open the camera app, it opens (like all other camera apps will, with a black screen), but it says "unfortunately Gallery has stopped" where with the stock roms it will say the Camera has stopped.
I noticed a thread with a possibly similar theme here, but since that thread is a few months old, I'm referencing that one and starting a new one.
Additionally, I found a .zip file with individual camera firmware (or software updates) out there, at least 25 in fact in a 5.83mb zip with the following instructions
- Extract the .bin file to the internal sd card
- type *#34971539# into the dialer
- select "phone to cam FW write"

But no matter the firmware I tried to flash, and flash back to the SDEH0D (or back to any of the others), that didn't seem to help. I didn't try all 25, but I did choose about 7 ones staggered from that list.
Any other thoughts or comments, tests or experiments? I'd really appreciate any direction
I'm not an expert on the issue that you're having, But I have encountered a Gallery force-close when starting up the camera. In some of the newer ROM's available today, the camera and gallery are linked. Meaning you can swipe either left or right while inside the camera app and go into your gallery. Anyway, Seems to me that it goes a bit beyond just a software fix. Could be that the camera itself is broken. The only reason I say that is because you say that you've tried several different ROM's and some supposed software fixes, but it's still not working. I would say that if you can, try and find a proper fix that you can either flash in recovery or push to your phone using ADB. I'll do some digging of my own and see what I can come up with.
So I went through most CM11 based, custom ROM's (including there own base rom) and one consistent broke portion was when using the gallery app (not photos) if I tried sharing any image that came from a picasa album it would not work and gave an error. Sharing it to anywhere resulted in "can't download image" or "can't complete task". As well I couldn't "set image as" a wallpaper or anything else such as contact photo etc. A stock based ROM or modded rom which was not CM11 based have no problem doing these things. I prefer gallery and this is simply broke in CM11 when it comes to sharing. Not the developers who base their Rom off CM11. So how does my tiny little request get to the CM11 developers to look into it?
Tested 4.4, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 CM11 based roms. All with same results.Again all stock based roms, no issue. I think this is a simply bug fix.

Can anyone else verify the same issue?
Yes, about 2 weeks ago i rooted and went straight to cm11 on my t989, I knew before hand that the camcorder wasn't working, today while at work I checked for updates and saw that cm11 20140113 was released. After I got of work I downloaded it, installed it, didn't really notice anything untill I went into the camcorder. I recorder about 10 seconds of video and manually stopped the recording!! Curious to see if it worked I went into my gallery to view it, as soon as I opened gallery it froze and rebooted. I know I'm off topic a bit but i be had every nightly available and the gallery always acts up. But the fact that I was able to record was amazing, I still can't view the video, i even tried viewing it with my default video player which is MX Player and I was given a "cannot play video" error. I don't understand, I should be able to watch the video I recorded right? Unless its trolling me...
Hi,
Does anybody have "problem" with slow launching Google Camera application?
I try to clear everything... Clean flash, flash stock rom, everything clean, but Google Camera is very, very slowly launched...
AOSP Camera is normal launching, but Google Camera is slow... When launched (about 9 sec) then is working normal, but launching is very, very, slow...
I try with older version Google Camera 2.1.037, and with this version is everything is ok, but with latest happened this slow launching... Hm, anybody have idea what to do?
This happened only on 4.4.4 android... With 4.4.3 and 4.4.2 everything is ok...
Anybody have some solution?

Just take 3-4 photos with the updated camera app. Don't delete these photos (Let them stay in your phones storage). Voilà!! Your Google camera won't lag on next start up!
I've searched all over for the new google camera application (3.0) and I have found nothing except for a ported application that should be flashed through recovery (link below) is there another one specific for our Nexus that can maybe be installed directly as an APK or do I have to flash the one below through recovery?

Unless it's on apkmirror.com or the Play Store I have reservations installing anything claiming to be Google. Considering this is a zip install, I have even more reservations that it's intentionally circumventing digital certificate validation- aka I wouldn't necessarily trust it's made by Google. It could be legit but it gives me pause.
If it is a zip file, unzip it and see if there's an apk inside. If so, upload the apk to virustotal.com to check it for viruses before doing anything with it.

It won't work since its built for the ARM x64 architecture, the OP on that post failed to realise that.

Google Camera 3.1 is available - link below.

Been trying it out on my Nexus 5. It's much nicer to use than the old version.
Enjoy!

Yup. And both versions (ARM64 and ARM) are listed there. It's pretty slick and installed with no issues for me as well.
Well, I'm pretty firggin impressed... Low light pic in hdr mode from 11 months ago vs. A pic from tonight using the same device with new apk.
good day.
which one for Nexus 5 ARM or ARM64 ?

Thank u ! Done with it
Thanks for the heads up. I'm liking this new camera app.
This is perfect, thanks (Y)
I don't see the option for Burst photos in the app, is that a limitation with the Nexus 5 hardware?
No burst mode nor slow motion

Maybe with Google's implementation, but I've used burst mode in other camera apps with great success.
EDIT: Camera Zoom FX is what I used.
slowmo i can understand since probably the camera isn't shooting enough fps to achieve that, but burst probably could have worked
