I saw this coming across the wire and it piqued my interest... the latest version of Google Photos coming down the pike (v2.13, might be a little before everyone gets it) added a new video editing option; stabilization. Now, I immediately side loaded the update, because I have no patience for such things, and took a peek.
The interface is simple... load up a video, click on the pencil shaped edit button and at the bottom of the screen, you'll see "STABILIZE"
If the video is local, it'll process it then give you the option to preview and then save. At which point you can upload the stabilized video back up to Photos and it'll sit there besides the original (you will see both versions). You can also stabilize videos that are backed up, it'll just download the video locally first.
It works surprisingly well. It seems to use the standard 'crop and process' method that you'll see on something like Youtube, etc. So a discerning eye will be able to see the tell tale wobble of a stabilized video... which you really can't avoid... the lens is moving so there will always be a constant perspective change. But the results are still very impressive.
Pretty slick. The software stabilization on my 6P is OK.... but after playing with this function a bit, I am considering just flipping it off and doing all the stabilization work in post using Photos. This is only available on the Google Photos app itself; you can't load the video up on photos.google.com and edit it. Odd.

The Gallery app on our phone doesn't increase the detail of images after you pinch to zoom. Does anyone know of a way to fix this or a different gallery app that will do this properly?
If you view pictures directly from the camera app, it shows the full resolution of the photo when you zoom in (but its slow to pinch to zoom). If you do it from the gallery app, it just scales a lower resolution rendering of the photo to fit the screen, but it doesn't actually re-render the image at full resolution (but its very smooth). I'm looking for something that works like the iPhone's gallery app, which scales as you zoom so that the interface is smooth, but once you stop at a certain zoom level, it re-renders the image in a higher resolution (aka best of both worlds).
Just curious, which rom are you running?
I'm running JI6 Froyo. I noticed the same issue on JH7 as well...
It would appear he is correct! Even on a 5MP picture of the underside of my car, I can't get any more detail then I do looking at it normally.
I experience the same thing; my gallery also takes its sweet time to notice new images from downloads or edits in Photoshop. I suspect most of these anomolies are due to the beta Froyo I've been running since it was leaked.
Gallery just sucks , it always had crappy zoomed quality with no details , Be it my Nexus one with eclair -> froyo to Cappy eclair -> froyo.
Its as if your watching thumbnails and not actual pictures.
There was modified gallery a while ago in Nexus one forums not sure if its still around, supposed to be better then default one.

Dunno why camera shots are coming out low res (I'd imagine that it's just the gallery program that sucks), but downloaded photos on JI6 are automatically resized to 305x203.
I actually remember reading some article a while back that talked about this issue (the gallery being low-res), and mentioning that this is by design. Apparently the developers decided that UI speed is more important than photo quality. I wish I still had the url to that article..
Also, forget searching for 'gallery' in the market. All the search results are retarded wallpaper/mostly naked girl spam. I wish spamming the market with valueless programs was a hangable offense.
Have you guys tried the apk from HERE? I have it loaded and while it does load alot slower it does seem to be higher res. Give it a shot, You will have to copy over the current APK in system/app with something like Root Explorer, or uninstall the gallery then try to install. I could not get it to install but coping worked great
I also remember reading an article that explained that the Gallery purposefully did not display images in their native resolution.
There is a free application in the Market called, "Floating Image" that will display images from any folder of your choosing as well as Flickr, Picase and Facebook in a floating collage of pictures. You can then tap on one and use multitouch to zoom in on the photo in it's full resolution.
I use it to display my camera roll as it allows me to see my photos in much more detail as opposed to the built in Gallery that I can't stand. The only issues that I have with it are that it stutters a little bit when using the high resolution thumbnail option and that it cannot see hidden folders.
I think the gallery is opengl-based and it treats photos as textures, which are limited to 1024x1024 res.
If you don't mind losing the 3d effects, download an app called JustPictures!. It's now my default photo viewer. You can double-tap to zoom to actual size or pinch-zoom. It's fast and free.
Bonus: slideshow live wallpaper
Did some searching and found an article that talks about the issue:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362605,00.asp
Apparently Google chose the cool 3d gallery instead of better image quality. Its clear to me why lowering the image quality is wroth it for making things smooth, but I don't know why the app can't render more detail after you zoom in. Anyway, JustPictures! works pretty good and does show better details. Its a bit slower (and the stock gallery isn't particularly fast), but it gets the job done. I wonder if JustPictures! is the best solution out there or if there are other apps worth checking out as well...
Previous posters are correct that the lower image quality is part of how the program was built. However, there is an article on this site that has a link to the HTC gallery version which can improve the quality, but still is not truly 1 to 1 quality, jest better than stock.
Good morning XDA community! I'm not sure if this post should go here, so if it doesn't... I'll take my flaming and you can move it.
If you're anything like myself, you enjoy reminding iPhone users how much better Android devices are any chance you get. I'm a huge fan of Snapchat and use it religiously. If you use this app, here's a cool way to mess with iPhone users:
First, you have to be rooted. Once rooted, you'll need the Snapshare Xposed module. This will allow you to share videos from your gallery through Snapchat. Now, for those of us that have slow motion recording, it gets even more entertaining. You can use your regular camera app to record something in slow motion (doesn't really matter what, everything looks awesome in slow- mo). Once you've recorded what you want, you need to trim it (scissors icon when you're on the thumbnail in gallery). Keep in mind that Snapchat only allows 10 seconds worth of video.
Once you have the video down to 10 seconds, you'll need an app in the Play Store called Video Compressor (yes, it's free). Since Snapchat has a 2.5MB limit on videos, it won't let you send an uncompressed video. The Video Compressor app is super easy to use. Open it, hit start, select the video in your gallery and it defaults to 10 seconds long. Start the compression and when it's done, it'll allow you to save it or share it. You can click share, then Snapshare, and send the slow-motion videos to your friends or upload them as your story.
I've done videos of me breaking ice, playing pool and my cat leaping into the air. Again... Everything looks awesome in slow-mo. The response from the iPhone users is great.
Just passing it along...
Have a great day!

The LG 360 Cam is now available to buy. I got this from Clove Technology at the same time as the VR headset.
I spent a lot of time playing and using this, my detailed review is below. Includes sample media, screen shots and more.

It looks really cool man. Will consider to buy one.
How well do you think the 360 cam would work as a dash cam?
Probably overkill
I'm also considering it for a possible dashcam, but what are the practicalities like? Can you just plug it into a USB charger and have it record continuously (1 hr+) to a sd card, or are there some limits?
From memory it's 4gb video size max.
New beta software has arrived play store after some time they take back 5.2.2 to 5.1.1
software says for new features (3d audio for example) need to update firmware but when checks no new firmware found(also check with bridge
). Do u know anything about that?
Old thread, but i dig him out...
Got the camera yesterday for small money. Less money = less risk i thought.
The first impression: Video & photo quality are lower than expected.:crying:
Tried some apps from play store to handle the camera. THan i had made a firmware update because the camera doesn’t support life monitoring with the old firmware. (LGbridge) Now it seems to work alright.
The camera uses BT connection to control the hardware and uses the w-lan to transfer picture data to smartphone.
You can change between full automatic and manual mode. I tried the auto mode at first.
After a few experiences, the results are a little bit disappointing. Under low light, the results are noisy and a little bit unsharp.
The visible quality is lower than expected.:crying: BTW: Between the front and rear pictures, there is a small visible cutting edge.
I hope, this will be fixed in next release!
I think, i will give the project a last chance with daylight now. Thinking about to return the camera to dealer....
more about the camera:

Edit:
ok, got better results using "daylight" ! Of curse not the same quality as the LG5 camera will do, but acceptable for me.
tried to make some records like GOOGLE does. Driving along the street with G360 on top of the car. That was amazing!
tried to edit 360 video with AndroVid and it worked for me! (cutting and adding sound, no color effects or titles!) Hope i will find more apps to handle my videos.
tried to edit a 360° picture with "snapseed" and "photo editor" and it work!
see my pic in attachment. I have cut me out!
BTW: after uploading my pic, it is only 5% of size as the original one. (4,5MB>245kb)
The quality is very reduced now compared to the original!
There is a new firmware available for 360 cam. Version "L"! Can’t see any differences until now. Was described as a camera optimization only. No new features.
max. record time ~20min / ~2.3Gb. - nothing changed!
no new fw until now.

I've seen a few complaints around here about the image quality from the V20. Overall, I have to say it's pretty good. There's still some things I'm testing out and playing with, such as what impact HDR has on shot, but I'm starting to get a solid look as to what is going on with it. So what I'd like to do is have people as they have questions about the camera, post up photos pertaining to your question. Along with the photo; post the camera data (found by opening the photo on the phone in something like Google Photos and then hitting the "i" button) like the ISO and shutter speed, what mode you were in, what settings you might have had applied and/or processing done, and maybe even the conditions you were shooting in. Photography is an interesting art as it is part art but also part science. It used to be about the science of chemistry but now it's about the science of electronics and programming.
The gallery's auto-playing of the motion picture is driving me nuts as I flip through pictures after a shoot. I'm trying to hone into the details of the final shot to determine which one's I want to post process and publish but I have to wait for the motion to stop. The only work around I've found is to go out of the picture back to the gallery, and dive back into the next picture, and it doesn't auto-play on the first selection. I've looked in the play store for alternative galleries and gave up after testing a few.
I came from the Note 10+ and motion picture didn't play automatically in the gallery. I've started only turning on motion picture for times where I think I need extra frames, but I've already found myself missing some opportunities when I didn't think to turn it on.
Thanks in advance!

There's no option to disable that unfortunately.. It's a feature built directly into the app..

I was also wondering this. It wasn't like this on previous devices, you had to press the Motion Photo button for it to move, not just move by default. So now when I want to show someone a photo it first plays a short video clip instead, makes no sense.
We can disable the auto play.. Check this :

There is way. You need to enable Gallery Labs.
