[APP][MOD][KK] Photosphere Camera For KitKat ROMs [Gapps Nexus 5]

OmarEinea · Dec 27, 2013

Hello everyone,
this flashable zip will only add a Photosphere capture section in your camera app
and it is extracted from the full Kitkat Gapps, but as default it should be installed only on the nexus 5
cuz the update script has ID check script

anyway my brother tried it on his Galaxy Grand Dous [4.4.2] SlimKat ROM beta 1.7 & OmniROM & JAN-8 ProBAM & Resurrection Remix®
and it should be working on CM11 and Carbon 4.4.x too

Instructions:

Reboot into recovery
Do a backup [optional, only for safety]
Flash the zip
Reboot and have fun

Here are some screenshots:

There is an officially supported Photosphere provided with Paranoid Gapps For All Devices
not tested on Galsxy grand though, you can find the download link here:

pa_googlecamera-module-4.4.3-20140603-signed.zip - 13.56 MB

Old Google camera with Photosphere:
Dev-Host DOWNLOAD LINK
Mediafire DOWNLOAD LINK

For those who want to revert back to the original camera [without the Photosphere]
Flash This Zip

If the camera after flashing this didn't work, don't worry, all you have to do:

Open the ROM's zip
Extract the Camera app and Gallery app from ROM.Zip/system/app/HERE [the ROM you're using currently]
Replace them with the existed ones in Original_Camera.Zip/system/app/HERE
Then flash it, that's it, all done

Enjoy :fingers-crossed:

Works on s2 plus, i think it should work on every device

Oh yes, it should work on a lot of devices as it is part of Gapps,
but for example I have Xperia U with CM11 kitkat 4.4.2, and I tried this Photosphere Camera on it
and it didn't work, although I noticed that in the original Gapps script, there is a specific requirement in the device for this Photosphere Camera
to be installed.
so in this case I can't say for sure that it would work on all other devices, I only tested it on my brother's galaxy grand

Hmmmm, this is really wired, it is dev-host mirror and it has been downloaded 29 times and I downloaded it 5 Minutes ago
anyway, I updated the thread with a Mediafire mirror, try it, and I hope it'll work

Not working on my galaxy grand 4.2 stock rom

Yeah it should work on lots of devices that run kitkat 4.4,
cuz this was extracted from [Gapps 4.4] so it practically won't work on anything else android 4.4

Try to search in google for photosphere for 4.2 and you'll find lots of flashable Zips for that matter

The Photosphere is working but once I take the first picture then the picture rotates slowly so that the blue dot is not constant. To keep it constant I have to rotate my phone slowly... as a result I cannot capture the full 360 degrees of the picture... any fix for this..

maybe you've done somthing wrong,
your device should be Galaxy Grand, your ROM should be SlimKat or CM11, Android 4.4.x for sure
otherwise you may have some bugs

and if you have the requirements then maybe you should do wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the zip again
and see if that would make any difference

the flashable zip should delete the existed ones if you didn't rename them, the update script has two lines for that matter:

Code:

delete("/system/app/Camera2.apk","/system/app/Gallery.apk","/system/app/Gallery2.apk","/system/app/GalleryGoogle.odex","/system/app/GoogleCamera.odex");
delete("/system/priv-app/Camera2.apk","/system/priv-app/Gallery.apk","/system/priv-app/Gallery2.apk");

so I assume you changed their names before flashing the zip, and that's why you have two now

and I think it is impossible to add photosphere to default camera, all you have to do is:
delete the two old gallery and camera, and then you'll have what you want
