Google Camera App + Cyanogenmod11 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Request] Extended Power button menu

For those of us who s prefers stock, I would like to formally request someone who can make a flashable zip to add addition settings to the power menu. (Reboot to recovery, bootloader, reboot etc)
Thanks a bunch.

Would be nice, but in the meantime why not use 'Xposed'?

Wouldn't you still need to be on a Deodexed ROM for that mod to work?

Nope. It's not necessary to have a deodexed rom.

Yes ! This and a hack to wake with volume button only thing I'm really missing from custom Roms , with all the 4.3 nonsense with N4 , I used stock ROM for quite a while and I don't think I'll be using custom Roms anymore Google stock is actually quite nice .

Not a problem, enjoy. Mix it with Franco or Faux as usual Rascarlo has a build out too but its not as feature-riched, not my flavor of ROM but its definitely a good rom as well. Not sure if it has those features but I remembered that he usually includes them, just not sure if its merged already. Be sure to flash the update today as well.
Only thing missing from this ROM is holding status bar to change brightness levels.

HDR causing my camera to crash

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.

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

OK Google Fracked

Hey folks:
I use MyBackupPro as my maintenance tool. Upgrading to my N5 from my N4 MyBackupPro overwrote the stock launcher, causing OK Google to stop working.
Is there any way to get NOWs listener working again without doing a factory reset and/or installing the Factory Image?
I'm stock, and not rooted.
Thanks.

Select ENGLISH (US) in language and input settings
Select google launcher in settings=>home
And if still OK GOOGLE dont shows up in search bar in home launcher then say ok google and check if it is working or not cause sometimes OK GOOGLE don't show up even if it is working perfectly

You didn't tell us which 4.4 version you have, but these links will help you man. I recommend trying the first link first and if it don't work, try the second link( I'm sure the first one will work).

Yeah, HOME only shows in settings/apps NOT in root settings. Therefore that selection isn't available.

403 error for new Nexus 5

Unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and Cataclysm ROM installed. I'm getting 403 error when trying to update or install apps from the Google Play Store, I've tried every major fix such as clearing cache on the store, removing proxy settings and reloggin my account. Any thoughts?

Was that what you meant 'relogging'? Try again, but reboot after you delete your account.

Did you perform a full wipe before flashing Cataclysm???
Is this problem occurring only while installing apps via playstore? or does it happen when you install a apk file as well??

Two things I'd do:
1) Wait...it could be a legit server error and nothing you can do on your end...
2) Use the wait time to learn how to flash Google framework.

1. I don't think so because I remember it updating when I first used the phone just two hours ago, before flashing anything.
2. Can't you be more jentle and link me?

Nothing as far as I can remember, only unchecked the messages thingy in google play store. The one at the top in settings for the app.
You can't do anything as I found out. You just have to wait it out. It's a Google problem not at your end. I just waited for 40 minutes or so and the downloading was possible. There are may users with the same problem

[Q] HDR+ Patch for CM Based Roms?

I'm running a CM based ROM with included gapps and miss taking HDR+ photos. I'm aware that flashing gapps packages including Google camera is an option but I'm not interested in flashing gapps over an optimized gapps package. Is there a patch/zip with just HDR+ I can flash to enable HDR+ camera mode?
Thanks in advance folks.
You can make it yourself. Get one of the hopes packages you mentioned and delete the stuff that's not the camera.

Hi,
@JustinOkay, you can try the "Google Camera compatibility fix": http://slimroms.net/index.php/news/455-new-google-camera-and-compatibility.

If you use the slim gapps (not the compatibility fix mentioned - although I'm not aware of any reason why you shouldn't) it contains slim aosp camera. Now although the slim camera itself doesn't have hdr+, it does allow you then to update to the latest camera from play

Quick question. The zip is only 12MB why doe I get the "Android is Upgrading" dialogue for 59 apps instead of just 1 or 2 for the camera app?

Yes you're right. My goal was tobuse Google camera with HDR+ on my CM based ROM.
Thank you for the suggestions and advice.
