[Q] Get information from photo sphere app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to use the google photo sphere camera app as webcam and take periodically photos. I would use 2 stepping motors to pan around the environment and collect the required points.
My first thought to look what information logcat prints in verbose mode but it seems that there are no information.
Second thought was to look into the code and maybe change the code to my needs but the photo sphere seems not to be part of the AOSP.
So what do you think? Is there a possibility to take control?
Thank you.

[Q] Is there Camera App that takes pic without processing? Best quality?

Hi all, I'm new here and to the android world,
I have a Q:
I am coming from the graphic design and Photoshop and I knew few things about camera and image processing and after looking in the camera app on android I cant find good app that can just take a pic without processing! (sharpening, noise redaction, etc)
I wonder why no 1 made such app that gives the user option to take the natural photo prom the sensor without the stupid image processing algorithm!
I want the natural photo and edit it later in pro software (Photoshop)
Is the app like this?
I'm not sure if it processes images by default as it has effects that can be manually applied in post photography which might mean it takes pictures unprocessed, but I use a replacement camera app called camera zoom fx and it takes much better pics than my phones default camera app so it might be an option to try.
It also has more pre photograph options and modes such as burst and timelapse modes and more ways to control how the picture is taken such as metering controls.
Its not free but there may be a trial version. I bought it when android market had a sale offer on its top apps but its worth even normal full price.

Actually, I like the idea of RAW image format for Android camera. Is it possible?
There are a handful of great camera apps, some free, some not. I like to use Nemus camera, Camera effects ,and Fast burst, these are all free apps. The first two have some cool effect on them and the last app lets you take 30 shots per second.There is one called Camera Zoom FX that is 2 or 3 bucks. I haven't used it but I have read good things about it. Hope that helps.
If you are talking about app that takes no time and provide good quality selfie or pic. I recommend Camera 365 Beauty app...

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 camera field of view

Hi. I'm using cyanogenmod 10 for almost 3 weeks . The camera which came with cm10 is showing less field what actually is.
Are the photos it saves a normal field of view? In other words is the problem only with the view in the camera app or is it with the saved photos too

This picture is shown in the gallery. You can see my printer is in view. (left side)
Also you can see the light switch(left side) is in the view
For second picture,
But in this picture you can't see my printer and my light switch.
I didn't move the camera btw just took a screenshot then pressed the capture
Any ideas?

I believe this is done because of the aspect ratio of your screen and the photos your camera takes. If the photo fov were to be used in the camera, there would be black bars in the camera app. You can try using another camera app from the play store to fix this.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that . Do I have to use 3rd party camera apps. Or can developers fix this problem in next updates. And can you advise me a good 3rd party app. Thanks for your help.
Do you have photo stabilization by any chance? That does reduce the fov.
No I don't have photo stabilization.
Try an app in the store called "lg camera" from memory that's the name. It has black bars which is what you want
NO no no this is not that I wanted. Actualy when I take photos with my friends they can't be seen before shooting.so sometimes they seen out of the fov but when I take photos they are in the fov. I don't want black bars or something. I mean I want to take a photo which looks exactly same in the preview.my post which has an attachment will show my problem.

photo sphere and tiny planet

hi just wondering if theres an option to make photo sphere as tiny planet. i took a surrond shot completing all unfortunately at gallery theres is no option to make it tiny planet. can some one help thanks
I was looking for this too -- I hear that it's no longer available and to use Google Camera. Unfortunately, I cannot create a tiny planet using Google Camera from photospheres I already took with my s6 camera. Still researching though...
edit: I take that back -- I just saw the "create tiny planet" within the Google Camera app, using an existing photosphere!
edit 2: I got 1 tiny planet, but now Google Camera keeps crashing when I try to create another one - even after reboot, un-install/install.

Having a background color activated WHILE taking a photo? - Android Studio

Greetings everyone!
I'm trying to make an app as part of a project of mine where I need to illuminate the object I'm taking a picture of (front camera) with different colours, provided by the screen itself. I'm new to android programming and so far have only been able to access the camera (the one in the back, since from my research it is not possible through intent to access the one in the front automatically), take a picture of it and show it.
While taking a picture I need different colours illuminating it. I've heard that this is possible in iOS with some versions of snapchat, which creates a "simulated" flash, illuminating the front screen in white. How could I manipulate this to get other colours?
I am experimenting on a Sony E4 dualsim, which is version 4.4.4. Don't know if that makes any difference at all... Would it also be easier to do it with iOS? Unfortunantely I do not have access to one, but this is a mandatory part of my project, so might be able to get some money to invest in a phone!
Thank you!

Where do I find the histogram display in the camera app?

I can see the histogram when I view the picture in the gallery by clicking on the information circle, but how can I see it while taking the pictures from inside the camera app?
I don't particularly need it, since I don't know how to use a histogram but that's why I want to see it, so I can learn how it works
It's not in the camera app. It's in the gallery. Open your picture and press the little i icon to bring up the information.
It won't tell you how it works but there's google and youtube for that.
I know it's in the gallery app, I had mentioned it.
I wanted it in the camera app so I could see it in real time, before shooting the picture. So I could "see" what it looks like before taking the photos. And maybe see if there is a pattern to what I like seeing vs how the histograms look
