Hey guys, I was testing out the Google Camera app (because I like to consider all of my options) when I noticed that trying to switch to video mode causes a "Camera Error: Cannot connect to camera." All other 3rd party camera apps I've tried have worked with video. Does anyone else know why this may be happening? I'm guessing because it's just not fully compatible with the G4 camera, but I'd love to use Google Camera as my daily use camera app.
Double check the permissions on the app and make sure it's allowed to access the camera.

Yes, it is. It works for normal pictures just not for video.
Odd. Unfortunately I'm not sure then.

Yes. Everything seems to be in order.
New Google camera apps have a different API or lib (for videos and panoramas) only present on the Nexus phones. The last version of the Google camera app that works on any phone is 2.7.008 available on apkmirror, but with Moto G?, if you want to use photosphere or paborama, you have to focus in the main camera and the switch to mode that you want... Otherwise, you'll get a really blurry photo.

It's not that I particularly need the Google Camera for anything, I just saw the error and didn't understand it.

I'm tying to figure out how to use the front camera for taking pictures. I can do the video stuff no problem, just not take pictures. Seems silly the native camera app would not offer this.
From what I read, there should be an option in qik to do this, but from the one I downloaded from the market, I'm not seeing this option. I'm running Frankenstein and have checked through all the various mod paqs and there is no qik app in there that may have this feature enabled. What am I missing?

Inside the camera app... Click the Top left icon on the screen and select Self-Shot.
Is that what you are looking for?
Perfect thanks so much! Guess the internet docs on this not working through the camera app are wrong.
This feature was enable on my HTC One M7 and I use it all the time. I guess the S5 is not supported but the Note 3 is? Anyone know a workaround?
I took at look on my Note 3 but cannot see the effect you are talking about. What is AutoAwesome Video?

Auto Awesome is the name given to the tool used by Google to create these motion videos from images you upload to Google Plus either through your cell phone or computer. When the right set of photos is detected in your Google Plus photo album Auto Awesome videos are created for you to share as you please.

I'm not sure what this means? I check google plus setting and don't see a way to turn on autoawesome. I can view photos I have in my autoawesome folder that was created on my htc one before.., my gs5 never create any autoawesome photo or video that I recently took.

yes your right, there is no option to check off for the Auto Awesome, it just does it automatically of course lol, but, If Google +, and Google + Photos arent syncing, Auto Awesome will do nothing. I think ya may wanna Google Search Auto Awesome, cause i believe it only works when a certain number of photos are taken. I could be mistaken tho

Did it work for you on your S5? Cause I've taken like 40 pictures and 5 video at a party and nothing happen this past weekend with my S5 and nothing. and my photo are backed up to google + photo
Maybe I'm not making myself clear, but you see the instruction at the bottom on how to create a movie/picture. I don't even see this option to create auto awesome video.

Hello !
Any update on this topic ?
Did anybody find a way to make auto-awesome movies work (on manual mode) ?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.
Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture
And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3
I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".
i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1
I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Which version are you using exactly?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vk4UhGJqI0dEJWYlhlSDNwdWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

After open 6 update, I notice that photos looks worse than in open 5 and some functions like hdr are not working. Is the camera service not working?

Wait for the open 7. Sad but true. I tried everything that you can imagine. The only way that I fixed this, was installing the oneplus camera mod. The problem seems to be with the new camera app or camera service. The stranger thing is that I only saw you and another guy complayning about this.
Did you both clean installed Open Beta 6? Cleaned cache?
Sorry if this seems trivial but to have the same common ground it would be helpful to know this.

Sure. The problem is with latest camera app (2.5.25). I uninstalled it and installed the 2.5.23 from open 5, and everything is working now. The problem with 2.5.25, is when you take a picture and see it from the gallery shortcut on camera app, the post processing will not working, but if you go into gallery app, the post processing will be realized.

I am asking because i am using OB6 and i cant reproduce this misbehavior. It is working as it should and if this would be a reproducible problem, the OP forums would be filled with this i guess.

But, here is not working as should be. If I take a picture and try to see it directly from gallery shortcut on camera app, the pictures will be with much noise and hdr and hq will not be applied. But, if I go into gallery, the pictures will looks great and hdr and hq will be applied.

Got it working but it's not the complete feature i think. I clicked a photo with motion enabled using the P3 camera port. It showed me the timeline but it didn't recommend any top shot yet. Also, this doesn't work on smartbursts ( I thought Top Shot will replace Smartburst ).

On Pie, Havoc ROM, also using cstarks latest.
It works but it is not the latest version of photo, is there any chance for an updated version?
The resolution is very very low
Pixel 3 top shot pics are 1 mb, this one here is around 250 kb!! Is there a way to get atleast 1mb photos from top shot on pixel 2??

Yes
Can confirm working on Pixel 1. I was only about to get 2 recommended shots on one very recent picture taken using the Pixel 3 camera app. So that might have something to do with the fact that none of my old ones have any recommended shots. Also, the recommended shots are HDR enabled and ~700kb.
