Recently I installed JDX 3.05 (Android M Preview 3 based) and played around with different camera apps the past two days. Every one of them ended up with corrupt RAW/DNG files (according to Photoshop CC 2015). I don't know if this is because of the Android M Preview or recent update to Google Services or some other issue.
Cameras with RAW compatibility that I've tried:
- Manual Camera
- Snap Camera
- Camera FV-5
Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
I used RAW Therapy to process the images using Camera fv-5. This was on a Nexus 5 though on Lollipop.

Is that an app? I don't see it on the Play Store. I recently discovered that Adobe Lightroom (Android version) does a nice job with RAW files.
EDIT: Is this it? http://rawtherapee.com/
Yeah that's it (bloody autocorrect). If you can find the developer of L Camera on his github I think it was him that gave a nice tutorial. Very powerful tool.

I wonder if my issue was with Google Play Services. I've changed nothing on my device, besides a few days time going by, and now RAW is working. The files are not corrupted out of any of the cameras I've tried.

just to let everyone know the camera app doesnt use the full 10mpx it only uses 5 or at least the app only has the option use up to 5mpx. also after installing it im noticing tearing in the viewfinder now with both camera apps.
Hello.

The free "focal" app in the play store has photosphere feature
in the play store, download the free app "focal" by "team BBQ." it was the camera app that was going to be in CyanogenMod. still in beta but it does do photosphere. here is the link to google play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.xplod.focal
Did you guys have any problems with any "failed to connect to camera" errors after using/install the photosphere camera?
How well does this work? I mean, the stitching improved a lot in 4.4 on my nexus 4 but I was planning on buying the moto x to replace, I really like it but I don't want to lose photosphere.

anotherdroid from previous page provides a free download of the android camera/gallery. it works flawlessly...of course it also means you have two camera apps. i normally "twist" to open the moto x camera and the android camera on homescreen.

Anyone know if this version also does the Geotagging required to submit the photo sphere to create your own street view as Google has started allowing:

?

Looks like it. I did a test photosphere with the nexus gallery camera posted on the first page and uploaded it to G+. It is viewable there and if I click the details it looks to have all of the normal geolocation tags.
I'll try to do a real test this weekend.

Hrm so oddly, the images I upload to G+ with Nexus app are not viable on G+ in chrome on my PC. The Android G+ app views them OK. I wonder what is happening there.
Working like a champ on my KK Moto X. It does drop the resolution to 5MP but the shutter lag is significantly lower with this camera - which is why I wanted it. Thanks for the APK!
works great, but one issue
the app works great on my at&t moto x, however, i cannot upload the photosphere to google maps. when i click share to maps, it takes me to the app maps, instead of uploading. anyone experienced that too? (share to g+ or g+ photos works fine)
Which one do you guys prefer? I like the Google one better because I think it takes pictures faster and I like the gallery access.
Are there any quality benefits to either one?

I like the Google (4.4) one as well. Though, mostly similar to the samsung one.
Although Samsung camera has more features, i still prefer the stock KitKat camera. Guess i'm somewhat of a minimalist.
Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.
I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.
Just go find an app in the market. Camera+ is one

That may be a possible solution... but this seems an absolutely silly omission from the stock camera app (especially the video).

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).

I don't believe manual exposure works for us in the Google Camera because we don't have it in the stock app. If that is the reason, we'd likely have to have root to enable that feature as camera tweaks are located in /system/etc/media_profiles.xml
*edit - those were resolution tweaks from my recollection. Actual camera options my be restricted to another location, still within the /system directory.
I've been using the stock camera app, but have wondered if I'm missing something better.. I'm not a serious or good photographer by any means. Mainly looking for something simple, that allows save to SD that will take good pictures

I use the Moto camera app that was stock on the phone. 2 reasons, first, if I want to take great pictures I use my dslr not a phone. Second, I love the twist of the wrist to start it. Usually if I am using my phone to photograph it is because a quick something is happening or about to happen and I can twist my wrist as I bring it up to my face level and the camera app is open and ready to use. Just my 2 cents.

Exactly, I have the same feelings about moto camera. Also you can record video very quickly (no need to change mode like in other apps). Slow motion video is quite fun too. The only thing that I hate is that it doesn't have built in gallery like for example google cam which leads to delays and bugs.
I'm using HTC Camera and it works well.
Snapdragon camera, which I'm really liking.
I'm using Moto camera but the newer version (camera1) ported from Moto G which adds in a better UI and some manual controls
For pics I use the Google Camera with the HDR+ enabled, it takes great shots when there's a lot of light, Moto camera it's ok, but I rather use Google's. I'm also using Footej (haven't used it that much but so far so good!).
Since I'm rooted I have Xposed, whith the Twisty module I can enable the wrist twist to open any of the cameras I want as default.
For my use of a camera and I have tried many, I really like Open Camera from the Play Store. It offers some of the best options and features without getting all gimmicky.
Using two camera apps, Camera1 from the play store (Motorola's New Camera) for taking pictures and Open Camera for video recording
I have been using "DSLR Camera" from the store for about the last two years. Does everything I want with no fuss.

But don't think it would suit as a system app because there are way to many features
I prefer SnapDragon Camera. I believe you must have a caf kernel in order for it to work correctly.
