If I install the Google Camera from the play store so that I can do photospheres (and because I like it better) is there any harm in disabling the moto camera app in the applications menu?
Nope I have the moto camera and gallery disabled

I'm running 100% stock KitKat on the Verizon Moto X. I installed the camera apk from the Nexus 5 so that I can use Photo Sphere. However, it wouldn't work and the camera kept force closing. I even tried downloading the KitKat camera apk from the HTC One Google Play Edition. Same results.
So in the meantime, I just installed the Jelly Bean (4.2.2) camera apk from the Google Play Edition. Photo Sphere works fine on the 4.2.2 version. Anyone else having this problem?

You don't have the correct drivers to use photosphere.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Title says it all. Which camera are you using and why? I like the quick launch of the moto camera, but I think that the google camera might take better pictures.
I'm with you, I actually just switched to the google camera I seem to be getting better pictures. I even disabled the moto camera and gallery gonna give it a run like this for awhile. I'm just holding out hope that android l will help with camera stuff
I did a small camera comparison here between Google and Moto Cameras - https://plus.google.com/photos/+TroyMcKeown/albums/6065236876032660257
Google really brightens is up a bit!
I just noticed that my phone was set to 9.7 megapixels by default. I just changed it to 13. Going to get google camera as well.
I was installing moto x camera app on moto g 2014.. for that i uninstalled the default cam and gallery app but that didn't worked. I have the backup of stock camera and gallery but i am unable to reinstall them, it just shows app not installed. Help plzz!!!

Try Google Play. There's Motorola Camera and Gallery apps there. Probably the same, since they show installed when I look at them in Play.
Google play was showing only open option,no install option. But i got a working method. I saw the permissions in my friends mobile and set the same on mine and its working now.
At the moment I'm using Google Camera because it's the "fastest" ̶o̶r̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ camera for my XT1068, but after like 10 mins with the Google Camera open the phone starts to overheat and lag a lot.
So what you think it's the fastest camera for Moto G 2014 ?
What's with the stock moto one? It's doing great , I just use Zoom when I need timelapse
personally i like moto g4's camera app
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.
