Is it possible to get the Google Camera on the unrooted VZW Moto X?
I like the global panorama feature (Takes awesome pictures of baseball parks and stuff in the summer) and would like to have it. If so, where do I get it?

I recall reading it was possible, but I have no my doubts. I installed the Google camera app from the playstore and when I launched the app it simply launched the Moto version of the camera app.
I like the Google camera app as well since I use it on another device.

You can install the stock camera from the Nexus 5 (or any other Nexus device) and it should work fine without root. However, the panorama mode and Photo Sphere won't work (it'll just keep force closing).
The only way to get the stock KitKat camera to fully work is to copy over lib files (so you would need root for that).

I was not able to do that. I installed the stock camera and it would not launch, it would only launch the Moto camera.

I forgot to mention that if you really wanted the stock camera with panorama and Photo Sphere, you could always install the camera/gallery app from Android 4.3 or 4.2.2 (it fully works without root).

mmm you said you installed it from the Play Store, right? Maybe it wasn't the right file? Because I pulled the apk directly from the Nexus 5 system dump and it worked perfectly fine (aside from panorama and Photo Sphere). Then I rooted, copied over lib files, and now it fully works.

I see. Yes, I did download it from the PlayStore, not from another source. Good to know, thanks for the insight.

I was playing around with this last night and the Moto stock camera consistently produced better quality pictures. I like the functionality of the Nexus camera more, but not that much more that I am willing to sacrifice the quality. Thanks for passing along the link though, I really wanted to try it out.
I should also add, in case anyone is interested, the Moto camera app shoots a much taller photo, while the Google app shoots a much wider, but shorter image. Might be important for some folks.
So based on you're experience which camera app would you suggest? I am kind of shocked to find that the camera app is so slow. My Blackberry Q10 is very quick compared to my Turbo.

I really like the Google camera app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
Unfortunately on the turbo it still does have some lag. Hopefully that will be fixed with future OTA updates.
The main thing I like about Google's app is the option to take photosphere images and panoramas. I know the stock camera app does panoramas but Google's app allows for much higher quality images.
I have taken some really awesome images using this app.
Lenovo Supercamera is great. Adds lots of effects and options, more so than stock camera on S5

Thanks! I tried installing but it wouldn't connect to the camera. Which version did you install to get it to work?

Latest, 3.6.7 with permissions removed. Definitely works for me. Maybe restart too - sometimes it seems like camera apps can lock another out.

Ahhhh.... I was going down to the second post and installing the other camera. Nice!! Going to have to play around with it more tomorrow. Thanks again!!!
Thanks to everyone who posted. I actually really like both of those options and will probably use both. Anyone ever try any fisheye lenses?

Do you see this as well on your install?
Yes, those resolutions are correct for the Turbo camera (even though they say a lower MP).
The 5248x3936 is the same as the full 21mp (Standard) mode, and the 5248 x 2952 is the same as the 15.5mp (Widescreen) mode. Assuming that this is what your asking?
Exactly what i was asking. I figured it was cosmetic. Just wanted to be sure.
I will the first update might have sped up my camera. When I left the store it was slow, as I read about. Next day I searched for updates and got one. My camera is normal now. The only issue I notice is swiping to pictures from the camera, it swipes right away, then the screen "blinks" real fast. Might try a different camera to compare though.

Maybe I'm crazy but this seems to speed the shutter up a bit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-unlock-advanced-camera-settings-t2884035
Perhaps more tinkering in the ladybug settings could help, or the ability to reduce mp size further?
Let me know what works for you all!

I've tinkered with it but I don't know what I'm looking at. Not a photographer but I'm sure you repost it in general? I have someone who knows what they're looking at toy with it?

Yep, other than the resolution displaying wrong it worked good too. I ended up installing the moto camera+ and taking a bunch of samples to compare the two, found it to not take any better pics than the moto camera + with the settings unlocked.

I couldn't open it. i get an error, Lenovo Camera stop working... i tried version 3.67 all three versions.
I would love to get rid of the crappy Moto Camera app when I use the twist for camera feature. I remember that the 1st Gen had an app, wondering if anyone has found one that works for us here.
It was called twisty switch. If I remember correctly it was an Xposed module.
Crap so nothing on 5.0 that we know of.

You can use tasker to set that up. Not quite as good as stock moto, but still.
I know the zealous sharpening issue with the stock moto is a post processing problem and has been mention if not rooted no actual fix yet.. Also others have stated open camera didn't take any better pictures... However I'm wondering if certain apps simply rely on the OS post processing and don't have their own built in. As I used Google camera today to take 2 exact pictures. I sat holding my hand in exactly the same position without moving.. Then launched the stock camera and the comparison is a visibly less noisy and softer photo. I will upload the comparison
Attatched photos taken with both cameras. No hdr no settings adjusted same place touched to focus.
i named each file accordingly. but incase you cant see file names.
goes moto google then for st shot google moto
On custom roms, the Google camera is great, but still has a few issues. Sometimes, it only allowed me to take a few photos at one, and then stopped letting me take any. I had to exit out and go back in to fix it. That said, I saw it on the lineage camera and open camera to...
Either way, the big problem in find is other apps using the camera, which seems to either not work or show a very dark image. This affected mostly QR apps in my experience, (2 factor apps, WhatsApp, etc.)

Thanks, I tried 4.1.006 with some buildprop tweaks and 2.7.008; just was curious if you were using the target sdk version for stock or not.

Sorry maybe this one isn't compatible. You'll need a apk off a mirror site but I don't know which to trust so will leave that decision to you
Nah, that's for a different processor I think. I can't find it

I downloaded the versions listed previously from apkmirror and enabled camera2 in build.prop. There is a Magisk Module for enabling camera2 now as well.
I had no issues with 2.7.008, but 4.1.006 would occasionally fc when switching from camera to video.
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 is the build.prop I used.
Someone please kindly share me the APK of Google Camera for non-rooted Moto G5 Plus. I thought I could also use it in my phone!

Damn! I knew we had a 32 bit ROM bit I don't know it brought such limitations with it. Maybe we see 64 bit with andrpid O.

I did understand what you meant, but you'd need another app to do it.
Have to admit it's been a while since I needed to but that's what I did when I had to.
Edit: just tried and it didn't work so I'd assume not.

ye seems so ... deleted the original app with adb. waiting for gcam to come around and test. might be a better camera app with a feature to choose the gallery. I can work around without it functioning for the moment thanks for your time

Yep have just had a look about with forcing defaults..seems the camera isn't happy unless it's the stock app..it's a bit crap really..
Disabled the app, installed about 5 different galleries, same thing.
Maybe if you could spoof the camera app into thinking the 3rd party gallery app is the stock one? Sounds like a ballache but may work.
Maybe even a magisk module for it, not sure man, sorry can't help more.
