[SOLVED] Photo Sphere capable camera

[tnttrx]

on my old Samsung (CM13), I used to have Google Camera app installed. I have used it only for Photo Spheres, as stock camera app was good enough for everything else.

Google Camera got device-related limitation in recent versions, so you cannot install it from Google Play directly unless you own some Google device. so, I just went to APKMirror and found some 3.2 arm64 apks.

so, on OP3 Google Camera 3.2 works, but when it comes to capturing Photo Spheres, it becomes really slow. each tile takes 5 - 10 seconds to take, while old Samsung used to capture it 10x faster.

is there any way to fix this or do you suggest any alternative Photo Sphere camera app to replace Google Camera?

thx.

+1 for this topic. Also, Google Camera is not able to focus manually...

Hi,

I currently ran into the same issue. I used the GCam a lot on other devices to create photospheres. But with the OnePlus3 this is nearly impossible. After focusing on the next blue dot the cam need 5 seconds go take the picture. I currently couldn't figure out whats the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Attached google-camera.log. Log created while using Google Camera and taking a photosphere (not complete).

I can confirm the same problem arises when taking photo spheres from within the app Google Street View. Has anyone found/made a fix yet?

I'm running Google Camera v. 3.2.045 on CM13 (nightly 0816) and photosphere works exactly as expected. There's maybe a second delay when hovering over each guide dot, but that's what I remember it always being.

I dont think Streeview spheres work

fixed in OOS 3.2.2
photo sphere works as expected

I don't think this is cured, got new OP3 today (31 Oct 2016) OOS 3.2.7, not rooted, Streetview is too slow to use, I may have to return the phone because of this

I have the same problem.
Use the Google camera to take a photosphere. Then import in Streerview.
Is the only "solution" i found. Google camera Is realy fast

Anyone here that has noticed a big delay when taking a photosphere or panorama with google camera? I use Resurrection Rom. A faster camera app for this would be nice.

Google street view work fast with cm14 or cm14.1 (and probably with cm 13 but i don't have try it). If street view works slowly you have to use google camera (you can download from apk mirror) for take photo sphere or panorama picture. When take a picture with google camera you have to turn on "save position" in settings. Then you can upload in street view.

Which version of Google camera works for Cm14.1? I was having problems with nearly all of them starting and then closing right away.

The problem with the Google Gamera App is that the higher pictures (when you point up) come out of focus It is not a problem with the camera itself, I can take pictures pointing up outside of the photosphere setting.
