Description:
This release does not have a Play Store Description, so we grabbed one from version 3.2.042:
Never miss a moment with Google Camera's latest speed improvement, and take fantastic pictures with new features such as auto-HDR+.
Features
• Fast switching - Switch quickly between video and photo mode with a quick swipe
• Easy access to photo modes - Easily create stunning photographic effects and switch between photo modes (such as Lens Blur, Wide Angle, Panorama, and Photo Sphere) from the top-left menu
• Auto-HDR+ - Google Camera automatically detects when HDR+ (High Dynamic Range + Low Light) should be used to capture great photos in low light and backlit scenes on the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, and Nexus 6P
• Slow motion video - Record slow motion videos in 120fps on the Nexus 5X and up to 240fps on the Nexus 6P
• SmartBurst - Hold down the shutter button on the Nexus 6P to automatically capture a stream of photos and automatically make GIFs
Requirements
• Google Camera works on Nexus phones running Android 6.0 and above
• SmartBurst is only available on the Nexus 6P
• Slow motion video is only available on the Nexus 5X and 6P
• Photo Sphere and Panorama require a gyro sensor
• Photo Sphere, Panorama, and Lens Blur require at least 1 gigabyte of memory
What's New:
APK Notes:
What's new:
- new icons
- cool animations when tapping toggles
- focus animation is present when camera refocuses after you move it (previously, it would refocus without visual cues)
Note: This APK came from the Lollipop preview on the Nexus 5, so it's missing some densities (which is why it's 10MB smaller). It installs and works fine on Android 4.4, but it may not be optimized for your exact device. You can always roll back if something doesn't work for you.
Update #1: Panorama and Photo Spheres may be crashy. We're looking into these crash reports.
Update #2: Rooted users can fix the crashes. If you're not rooted, do not install this APK. If you're rooted, follow these steps:
1. Download these missing libraries to your phone which are causing the crashes:
- liblightcycle.so
- librefocus.so
- libgcam.so
- libgcam_swig_jni.so
2. Then copy these libraries to /data/app-lib/com.google.android.GoogleCamera-2 (I suppose could also be named com.google.android.GoogleCamera-1 possibly). This way, you don't need to replace the libraries in /system/lib, and the .sos you've downloaded above should only affect the Camera app.
3. After you copy the .sos, make sure their permissions are set to at least 644 (rw-r-r-). Root Explorer does this by default, Total Commander, ES, and others don't.
4. Reboot if the crashes aren't fixed.
5. Then try the camera again - this should fix panorama, photosphere, HDR+, and Lens Blur crashes.
Update #3: Moto X users may want to tread carefully and skip this altogether.
Update #4: Added librefocus.so above to fix the Lens Blur crash.
Update #5: Added libgcam just in case as I've seen gcam-related crashes before.
