HDR causing my camera to crash - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched through threads and I cannot find an answer.
I've installed Google camera apk on my nexus 5, and whenever I try to enable HDR my camera crashes. Then I have to clear camera data in order to use camera again.
What am I doing wrong?

cm doesnt include the libs that are needed for hdr to work. look for a flashable camera with all the libs included.

I did that too. Once that failed, I installed the stock camera apk. I've also installed PA gapps.

i must rename camera2 paranoid apk to.. Google camera now i have the update ... before i have 2 app camera and Google camera.. but .. now compare hdr but when i tap it app crashs... now i reset data and cache but same problem i believe that needs.. lib.. do you have lib.zip to flash?

There is a pa Google camera zip should be in the gapps thread. You have to have the stock camera on your phone then one from play store will overwrite it.

Please google something like Android recovery TWRP or CWM. It lets you install the .zip from recovery. Turn off phone, hold down "volume -" and press the power button.
This will get you into recovery. Always make a backup BTW before you flash anything. I will not be responsible for bricked devices.
Search recovery here in xda also.
Good luck

It would help if you provided some info. What device are you using? Have you tried flashing Gapps?

Read through the ROM's thread to see if its a known issue. If not, try reporting it there (or ask in your device's section).
Maybe its just not included? You can always install a 3rd party camera anyways, or find any CM10 ROM and extract the camera app from that and install on your device.

It's not going to work. You're going to reflash your O/S. Launcer will fail to open all the apps are crashing left and right!! Don't do it.

You need to use standard Gapps for 4.2 : http://d-h.st/sPL or just 4.2 Play Store: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5610yb0f664lqg

lib/libjni_filtershow_filters.so
lib/libjni_mosaic.so
lib/liblightcycle.so
lib/libnativehelper_compat.so

Is this the same HDR+ quality on the stock?

It should be.
Coming from an HTC, I've always felt like stock had the best quality, but that's probably due to a ROM direct from HTC, where as Nexus is just straight AOSP, so the quality should be perfectly fine.

Google Camera App + Cyanogenmod11

Okay so by now everyone here should know that Google just released its Google Camera app on Play Store (gosh I guess I won't see Nexus 10 mk2 afterall)
But I have a big problem with it. I have Nexus 5 Cyanogenmod11 snapshot m5 and camera crashes on launching HDR+ every single time. I had similar problem app pulled from stock nexus 5 (can be found everywhere on the net) - it acted the same although that one needed app data wipe to even launch again. Is cyanogen missing some libraries for camera or something like that?
How can I make it work?
Is there a way to see a detailed crash log and fix the problem?
Anyone envountered similar issue?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had the camera fix for force close when switching to HDR I had the zip file somewhere and flashed a ROM and can't remember where I had it can someone help

Try disabling Google services or freeze it using titanium backup and then open the camera app. This worked for me.
Do you mean the addon released by slimroms?
