I thought I would share my findings of this flashable zip for the 4.4.1 PhotoSphere camera. I'm currently using it on CM11 official nightly without issue. Although you cannot go past 8mp in the options. I'm hoping someone out there might be able to take this and get 13mp working? My friend flashed this same zip on his SGS4 and has 13mp option.
Update: Thanks to ChikeD we now have working 13mp Photosphere camera!
Update 2: 10MP Wide option added.
Flash the Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip then the camera patch by ChikeD
Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip
13MP+10MP Wide+TinyPlanet Camera Patch
Mirror:Camera Patch
Thanks for the share.I can only see 8 mp, same as you.
But i can't also see HDR option? Did I missed something?

@bb12489
What is the image dimention(X/Y pixels) of 13MP of your camera?
And if you don't mind sharing where you have found it at?

I'll have to look back in my history now. I found it in a random thread here on XDA. Someone else linked to it like I did. I'll see if I can dig it up. My 13mp resolution is 4160x3120

Camera support 4128x3096 13MP, yours a bit higher, not too complicated to MOD, however apktool threw some warnings so I don't know if it's going to work or not..
It's a matter of curtest to mention who you get it from and who is the OP to share/MOD.

Here is where I was linked to
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=9199
The original poster of this link was not the creator. He was just responding to a question about photosphere camera's in another thread and said he used the one from that link. I definitely give full credit to the creator of these zips though! I was just thinking that since it's an unmodified Google Camera apk that anyone could have at it to try and mod.

Thanks,
If you feel frisky you may try and flash this mod, I haven't tested it, so you take your chances or not.
You know the drill, I'm not resposnsible bricked devices , data loss etc.
EDIT: reuploaded with renamed apk. Sorry about that.
Note this zip is only a patch for the original zip, photosphere will crash if installed by itself.
Flash origininal and then this patch(no need to reboot between).

Nah, just added 2 lines resources + one fix for build. You can add the link to it too.
I don't think the sphare is effected just the camera.
I only use it for the sphares which is awesome, and Sony's camera for photos, isn't he G2 cam better for photos?
I'm adding more options, to have 2MP 16:9 and 6MP 16:9 for Xperia P, and include the libs inside so it can be installed as normal app.
I have the scene option mixed up(I have 3 option only), that was the case with Google Camera for 4.3 too, is it the same on the G2?
Also, Camera version is 2.0.001 (893803-30) and Gallery version is. 1.1.40304, is that different for the original 4.4 cam?

For all those who have tried the patch, I messed up, sorry.
I may have ovveride the wronk app (Camera.apk) and should have been GoogleCamera.apk.
Delete Camera.apk and restore the original (if there was one) and flash the new file instead.
Again, sorry if I caused trouble.
I had a crash clicking TinyPlanet on camera.
Added libjni_tinyplanet.so from http://storagecow.eu/Xda/Nexus 5/System Dump/lib/ and it works.
Added to the patch, reuploaded and updated links.
So just checking in.. Dis you guys get fully working 4.4.1 GoogleCamera.apk with working 13MP support for our G2s?
if so, what do I download?

Agreed. Camera works for Cam and Video but not Pano or Sphere (FC). Does anyone know if we must delete something, or fix permissions?
Camera apk on Nexus S i9023 stock 4.1.2 (deodexed-zipaligned) works well... I've found PhotoSphere fix, but after all, it says me: "Your device is not supported yet: Nexus S"...
No FC but this... I think that in two-three days it will work...

Yes, but I want my Gallery2 to work, as the CM10 camera has many enhancements this camera is missing.
BTW, newest patched camera has working sphere without build prop mods but it does get pretty toasty while in use.

EDIT 2: Take that back. Video works after setting to 1080P.

But well "working" was overexagerated! quality Is horrible! i hope thats just because Its Not optimized for our camera yet.

Yeah I've had issues like that with the stock panorama as well. Maybe adjust the speed and method of rotation having your body act as a tripod. Also try the gmscore. apk in the second post for viewing the photosphere, it will open it in a nice viewer.

panoram viewer works now. gotta test if it stiches better now ^^
well..... No!
still stiches horrible! a 5year old child could do better!
and for the normal Panorama... do NOT shake! you're supposed to keep the camera totally calm and stable. or else you can't take a useable panorama picture!
in that case it would be way more usefull to let the user shot themselve and not autoshot!
hmm, I'm not having many issues with the photosphere stitching, it seems to work pretty nice for me. Even at night at a concert I was able to make a nice picture of the area.
It is probably a sensor issue from like an accelerometer or something, not getting the right readings of angles and what not to match everything up right. I'm sure it won't be too long before it is set right for tablet use, the different size and shape would change the math a bit I'd imagine. Maybe we can get the version from the nexus 10 and see if that works better with the note 10.1

There is still one more thing needed to get the photosphere running right, gmscore.apk and that can be found at the source but takes some time so here is a link to it in my drop box, along with the zip with the carmera for the apk, move it to your system/app reboot into recovery to fix permissionss and then after you take a photosphere pic, hit the icon at the bottom to get to the viewer, it's pretty cool.

You don't need to worry about modding that anymore with the zip on the second post. But it is the file that holds the properties of your device, kind of like a config file or something of that nature. Others can go into more detail, or you can open yours up and look at what's inside.
It is in the /system folder

how shall i do that ??
plz help me .. I am new here and this is my first post.
I'm not sure you can do that. If ever you do manage to retain both apk in your system app, you're going to have force closes all over the place. I suggest you just make up your mind on which camera to use.

i manged to have both apk files in system/app folder without renaming any of the apk.
however, if both apk is there then my android simply ignores 4.1 camera and only 4.2 camera shows up in app menu.
i have seen people having both the camera app working in some youtube videos and thats what i want !
i found some bug in 4.2 camera , i am not able to touch focus and pinch to zoom in 4.2 camera .. thats why i want another alternative
and its good to have photosphere for some occasion.
greenblue's rom has both camera apps if you flash that camera mod. I removed the original one manually so that I only have the one that works with sphere.
why do you want both? What's the original one have that the modded one doesn't?
You CAN have both cameras, but only if your older Gallery in system/app is by default named "Gallery2". Than you flash 4.2 camera and you will have both cameras working. Make sure your ROM and/or gapps you are flashing has "gallery2" in system/app.

Zoom is impossible. You can zoom only with some 3rd party apps. And touch to focus libs are not yet made/optimised for our device, so, we have to wait.

i manged to have both apk files in system/app folder without renaming any of the apk.
however, if both apk is there then my android simply ignores 4.1 camera and only 4.2 camera shows up in app menu.
i have seen people having both the camera app working in some youtube videos and thats what i want !
i found some bug in 4.2 camera , i am not able to touch focus and pinch to zoom in 4.2 camera .. thats why i want another alternative
and its good to have photosphere for some occasion.

Flash CM10 stable, which has gallery2.apk. Then flash the 4.2 camera zip from this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35018025&postcount=571 -- and you'll have two cameras.
Whether they both work is a different question, however ....

PLEASE THANK HIM
Installation:
Download apk file
Push apk to system/app
Rename gallery2.apk to gallery2.apk.bak (just in case you want to go back to original Camera)
Change permissions to rw-r-r
Reboot (I wipe cache and dalvik but not required)
(If these instructions seem hard or u don't now what some of these things mean then u shouldn't be doing this)

Features:
HDR
Panorama
Front Facing Camera (Must have HDR mode off on main camera)
Video Recording and Playback
Photos while recording

**Bugs:
If you choose HDR mode with main Cam and then switch to FFC the screen will freeze. Go back to main Cam and turn HDR off, switch to FFC.
Power button for shutter.
Tested on PA 3.96, 4.3 and PA 4.0 , 4.4
Any other Rom results may vary. Please feel free to list results from other Roms
Enjoy! If it works hit the Thanks button.
This mod works with 4.4 Kit Kat Roms.
I am currently using it with the latest PA Alpha.
It may not work with all 4.4 Roms.
That said, if u want a work around for FFC reboot on 4.4 Roms try* this.
**UPDATE** It has been reported to me several times that this Camera is NOT working on Slim Kat 1.9 beta. I do nt know why. This is the first time ever that is hasnt worked. I will keep you guys posted. So for now DO NOT USE WITH SLIM KAT 1.9

Does this contain Photosphere as well?
No I think thats in the Focal camera from CM
Thank you!
Also is there any particular way to install this or just install the apk? Does anything need to be uninstalled prior to using the camera

Yeah, since Focal needs more time to get fixed is there any way to get Photosphere working on this camera?

Sorry I should have added the Installation instructions to the OP in the first place. OP Updated.
Just push to system/app, change permissions and reboot.
Ok, dumb question but here goes. Can I go into recovery an change permissions on system an then do the sideload option an install the camera apk that way?

No after adding the file to system/app long press it and choose permission. Make the permissions match all the other apps in that folder. Rw-r-r

This might be a really stupid question, but how do we know if it worked? My app info reads 1.1.40001
Problem might be because I have also installed the moto x camera too...I have multiple "gallery" apps.
Sorry for the stupid question, I promise I was/am capable to copy the file to system/app and fix permissions if that counts for anything D:

800+ views and only 1 Thanks... Yikes

Just tried this on masta's 11/27 4.4 build and it seems to be working perfectly far as I can tell. Has a lot more options than the 4.4 cams as of right now. Thanks man!
