Google Camera App - Released to the Public on April 16th.
I tested it with CM11 on Note 2 and works like the champ with only a issues.
Have you faced any issues with this camera yet?
Code:
Google Camera snaps quick and easy photos and videos, and has creative picture modes like Photo Sphere, Lens Blur and Panorama.
Features
• Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
• Lens Blur mode for SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field
• Panorama mode with high resolution
• 100% viewfinder for getting the maximum resolution from the sensor (no dropped pixels)
• Updated UI that gets out of your way and is centered on an extra large capture button
• Works on phones and tablets running Android 4.4+ KitKat

Actually I completely agree with you. It is fairly childish but honestly Note 2 on CM11 this app works better than the currently alternative. Hence my excitement
Missing options
i do have an issue, there's no panorama, and no photo sphere, even tho i have this options on my cm11 camera
Apparently Google is leaning towards "dumbing things down" by removing the more complex capabilities in some of their native apps by making them so simplistic as to literally become "point and shoot," especially with respect to this particular camera app. But when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of smartphone owners want just that: a device that works, that's simple to use, and doesn't require a huge set of menu options to just "point and shoot" and get good/useful results so, I suppose it's a winner in that manner for sure.
Tried it a few times, doesn't seem particularly special or useful over some other camera apps like Focal or others. Doesn't seem to do HDR natively and there's no option to enable it so that relegates this app to "ok, I tried it and then I uninstalled it" status for me.
For me its not better than LG G2 modded cam app.
The issue with me is that the CM11 Camera app gets stuck too often hence this is a great alternative
It is good, the only problem for me is when the flash is on and I tap to focus and than to take a picture theres a lag of about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem? Also no HDR mod, and my camera have that option.
I'm having FC on settings option, on carbon kitkat in Samsung i9070.
love the lens blur mode. Any more cam apps that have this option?
I like it.
Yes the settings option does FC the app but honestly at this current moment, its better than the default camera app.
actually, the only setting i would change is 16:9 ratio, nothing else.
if some1 knows a shortcut for this...?
Good to know, may need to try this out, with custom roms i found a few the camera app always frooze or crashed

I've tried to change the settings thru the preferences files saved in \\data\data\com.googleCamera\shared_prefs\, but I couldn't change the resolution to the max, only the grid, flash, etc.
I want to change the "photosphere" and the "lens blur" to max resolution.
Any Idea?
let me try
Going to download it now and give a try in my grand i9082
I'll be trying it out on my Galaxy S2 with PACROM 4.4.2
Someone minds uploading it somewhere and sharing the link, I can find it on play store but it says its not available in my country I find that weird as its just a camara application...
Thanks in advance...

Really loving the recommendations to turn the phone sideways when recording video, to push people away from filming the horrors of portrait video.
tested in my droid x. somehow force close when i hit the setup menu.

Hi. I am currently using Miui rom for Xperia J. I have a problem which I have seen on any other custom rom such as Touchwiz rom or CM10 rom. I have google the problem but I can't find any solution. I don't know if it a bugs for Cm based or what. When i install third party camera apps such as Camera360 or Cymera, my front camera will be upside down. But the camera that in the system can be used normally. I also have tried to fix the rotation of the camera360 but still facing that problem. Hope someone helps. Thanks in advance.
Edit: After trying a few camera app in google playstore finally i know only a few camera apps will be upside-down for the front camera. And so far i have to change my favorite camera apps because front camera of camera360 also will be upside down. I have seen this problem in other cm based rom too.
Helpp
None of the Xperia J user have this problem? If so, I'm afraid it is my phone problem then.

I think the app has the problem. I never use camera360 though. I use retrica. It works fine.

Thank you for your reply. But I'm afraid that all my third party camera apps are like that. The camera system is the only one that work. Other camera apps will be 180' when using front camera. Actually I'm having this problem when I use custom rom non then the Sony based. When I'm using Alienrom or Doomsday, I never have this problem.
I was upgrading some of the system apps on my phone with KitKat versions, since the LG stock versions weren't that great. I downloaded the KitKat camera app, and from what I read, was advised to remove the stock camera app to prevent any problems. I backed up the stock LG camera app on my SD card, and installed the KitKat camera app. I got the panorama mode to work, as well as the filters in the KitKat gallery app. I thought everything was working, so I deleted my backed up camera app, only to figure out later on that the Kitkat camera app would freeze anytime I tried to take a video. Granted, the camera on my phone sucks horribly, but I could not find a way to get it to work with the Kitkat camera app or even the early 4.2 Camera/Gallery app. So what I'm asking is, can anyone upload the LG camera apk and odex file that comes with the LG Optimus Dynamic II? Or would it be possible to try and get my video camera to work with the Kitkat or 4.2 camera app? I've uploaded a cat log file, but I'd rather not do much work since the camera is not that great at all, and I just want to be able to take videos on my phone.
I'm still on stock ROM, rooted. The default camera app is missing some features I used regularly on my old phone.
Are there any recommended alternatives? I have Open Camera installed and it seems to work fine and has more features. Any better apps?
Also, can anyone tell me how to change the default camera app for things like the lock screen camera launcher? I can't find a default setting for it.
Hi everyone, I'm having issues with the built-in camera app, stoped working out of the blue a few weeks ago and I've been using gcam since but i liked the realme camera app, anyone has any idea of what could've happened? I'm attaching some logs filtered with com.oplus.camera and some sys info, any suggestions?
