Jelly Bean 4.2 Camera

I don't see another gallery...I replaced it with the GoogleGallery.apk that I downloaded from your first post.
Btw, I really appreciate you trying to help!

Hmm. No Gallery2.apk in system/app?

Also, if I don't reply its because I'm asleep lol

nope, I don't see anything.

hahaah same here. If you find a solution, let me know! thanks

All permissions correct? It's perplexing to say the least. Lol

So, I just want to chime in real quick.

Dylan, amazing job doing this btw!!! I'm glad that you and several folks have ironed out some of the issues that many have been experiencing.

I actually went with this method and so far so good. FYI, I'm using Jellybro CM10 and the VZW Galaxy Nexus:

Here's my anecdotal story:

VZW Galaxy Nexus, BB 4.12. Installed everything by hand with Root Explorer after putting the necessary files on my "SD Card" (yes, I know there isn't really an SD Card). I did all the steps below all at once, not by installing parts and rebooting multiple times.

(1) Renamed /system/app/Gallery2.apk, /system/app/Gallery4.apk, and /system/app/GmsCore.apk adding .bak to each.
(2) Copied GalleryGoogle.apk and GmsCore.apk to /system/app/. Changed owner/group to root:root, changed permissions to rw-r--r--.
(3) Copied liblightcycle.so and libjni_filtershow_filters.so to /system/lib/. Changed owner/group to root:root, changed permissions to rw-r--r--.
(4) Rebooted, wiping cache and dalvik cache first. (I always wipe the cache and dalvik cache when I add or remove stuff within the system folder).

Everything seems to be working 100%, including stills, videos, pano, and bubble. I can view any of them properly in the (new) Gallery, including the bubble view.

Short form: Rename|Delete three apk's in the /system/app/ folder. Copy two new apk's to the /system/app/ folder. Copy two new library files to the /system/lib/ folder. Fix group and permissions. Reboot. This is only accurate for a VZW Galaxy Nexus running the 10/30/2012 Bugless Beast ROM.

Some notes, particularly with regard to the VZW GN with the BB 10/30/12 ROM.

(1) My 10/30/2012 BB ROM (the latest) had both Gallery2.apk and Gallery4.apk. I have no idea why, and only one "Gallery" ever appeared in my app drawer or any app listings. Not knowing "any better", I renamed both of them by appending .bak to make sure neither was recognized by the OS, but left them in the /system/app/ folder for easier restoring in case the installation turned out to be a disaster (it wasn't). If I remember I'll drop Pete a note asking why there is both a Gallery2 and Gallery4 in his BB ROM.

(2) My BB ROM already had a libjni_mosaic.so, and it was identical to the one provided in the original 4.2 Camera update, so I did NOT bother to update it.

(3) My BB ROM already had a GmsCore.apk, but it was NOT the same size as the one provided in the original 4.2 Camera update, so I DID update it. The updated one is considerably larger, and it has a nice custom icon as well. (No it doesn't show in the app drawer)

(4) There is apparently a slightly patched version of the Camera 4.2 apk that removes the check to see if the device supports it. (4.2Camera_t02.zip). Since I am using an approved device, I did NOT use the patched version, just the "stock" leaked version of Camera 4.2.

ymmv, this is just my version so far of the Camera 4.2 leak story...

I did get the Google Play services to crash once, but I re-opened it again, and didn't crash again. So could have needed to load something in cache.

Hope this helps.
 
The Gallery works perfectly, but I get the message "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped."

When? Wouldn't hurt to clear some caches either.

Wiped dalvik and cache, set permissions and owner, rebooted gazzilion times... still FC when rendering panorama. Attached are some screenshots from Google Crash Report - hope they help. Don't know how to save the report as text... Thanks in advance for helping fixing this!

How big is the panorama? I had it fc on a massive one, but smaller ones and normalish ones are fine. Remember, we do have some hardware limitations in terms of memory and processing horsepower.

8 photos = FC. Did not tried less because IMHO the whole idea of 360? panoramic image constructed of less than 8 pics is ridiculous - that's what normal panorama mode is...

Did screens help or I need to install logcat?
