How to make sphere pictures with droid 4 ?. Google camera has that option but it needs gyroscope that is absent in our phone.
Anyone knows a way to make fake gyroscope or some similar to google camera app to do this ?
Hi,
can you be more specific when you say "sphere picture"? Are you saying that you want an app that will turn your picture into a sphere?

Hi guys
I was playing around with the Jelly Bean 4.2 camera app and wanted to get the photosphere function working. Currently, the dot moves very slowly, which probably means that it knows that the Galaxy S has a gyroscope/accelerometer mix. I was wondering if anyone could find out how the app 360 Panorama uses the sensors and code it into the new camera app so we can use photosphere.
Thanks
hello
why google photo photosphere device mode does not work on the smartphone huawei P7 L-10 ?
we know how to take pictures but when the file is created it is zero k
Same with me. I cannot get a Photosphere photo stitched together. It's really a pity. Did anyone manage to get Photosphere running?
As the title states, I'm wondering if I can assign the Google camera app to the physical camera button on my Xperia Z3C.
I find the stock camera app is very poor at keeping focus and takes sub-par images when compared to other camera apps available on Google Play.
Also, anyone have any tips for taking better pictures with the Z3C? I'm finding that despite the camera's high number of pixels, it's not the best for taking pictures, even when compared to my old iPhone 4!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
AS far as I know, it is possible only when you are rooted. Since rooting (with unlocking bootloader) affects the camera quality, which you want to change, i'd go for it.
I am using Camera FV-5 for taking pictures and that is much better than the auto/manual mode on the stock camera and Lapse-it Pro for Timelapse videos.
Anyway, the biggest improvement should be seen, when Android 5.0+ is released with RAW DNG (and Long Exposure), and then we will see the advantage of a 20MP sensor - but probably only with a different camera app than the stock one

Test ur Camera with this app
CameraW
this app will capture the exact view that ur phone lens can detect (without any effect or compressions)
if u get better pic by this app then thr s problem in software if not you check the lens itself
try it and inform me about results
:good:
I have a new motor x4 and while using the camera app cannot find the photosphere option anywhere. This is a Google phone so I cannot understand why such an important option is missing. Maybe I just don't know how to find it?

have you checked panorama mode? My Fi X4 has it.
It's missing in the default camera app but you can still make photoshperes with the Google Streetview App.

It's not a Google phone, nor is the camera app included from Google. You could port the modded GCam over to your device for better image and video quality, but I don't know what to tell you of the lack of a photosphere. If you mean the "tap anywhere to capture" feature, then that can be disabled in the camera's settings.
I also miss the photosphere function. Or, on other words, I do miss the official support from Google to Port the Google camera app to more devices.
Latest GCam has been modded to work with other devices under Android Nougat.
I am using that to make photosphere, but I can not import photospheres to G. cardboard viewer.
Moto X4 has a version of photosphere, more like a photocylnder
I just activated my Android One X4 last night, switch from Moto X2 and discovered this morning no obvious photosphere. very sad.
Turns out the Moto camera app (which updated last night) used panorama mode to replicate official sphere. If you take panorama with wide angle it captures a full 360 degrees. These images are then available for cardboard and other sphere viewing modes.
Sadly, or I haven't tried enough, it does not do up and down. Image is blurred above and below, which is a bit disappointing, but understandable.
My photosphere from Machu Picchu would have been lacking without seeing down into valleys below and beautiful sky above. My sphere of last year's eclipse from a cliff overlooking a lake in Wyoming would have been dull without eclipse in sky and terrain/lake below.
But I can guess 90% of spheres have sidewalk/grass below and sun glare above so ...
I could just explore app more and see if it can do it with some settings tweek.
I recently disabled the Google Photos app as I had no need for it and was bothered by its intrusion. However, when I used my Google Camera and then attempted to edit the shot, I was met with a message that said something to the effect that 'I could not edit my photos with the Google Photos app disabled.'
Is there some way around this without enabling Photos, or do I need to switch to a different camera app? And if the latter, would GCAM give me a comparable photo experience?
I believe you just need to install another photo app but it will not be integrated with the camera app (have to open the pics/vids with the other photo app separately). I've been using xgallery but find the ads a bit too annoying. Will see if I can get the LineageOS's gallery installed (don't know if it's possible.)
