Nexus 5 camera question re: G2 - G2 General

So, I just watched the new Nexus 5 ad showing off the camera.
Being pretty serious about photography, my experience with the G2 has been very mixed. In bright light, it's quite good. In anything else (including moving subjects, low light, and dynamic range) it is pretty much garbage. Seems mostly due to image processing and metering as the bright light pics are really good.
I don't think Google would pump up the camera so much if it wasn't excellent, so is this something we might be able to port over once the N5 is released? Or is it going to be hardware specific to the camera module in the N5?

I think it is a hardware specific

I have the nexus5 camera installed on my G2 right now. And it works.

Do you have a link? Also, do you notice any improvement in images or autofocus?

I'm not sure about improvements. But pictures look sharp and auto focus works just fine. And the app needs to be resized. Or it should be coded to hide the softkeys. But hey. It works

Nope. Get an FC and then my whole touch system went crazy. Rebooted and it's fine, but AVOID PHOTOSPHERE!

It does not, at least on the stock rom.

Photosphere works on aosp Roms for me if you add the libs

N5 and G2 images look very similar high contrast in light and some over exposed in dark. Looks like they cherry picked code of the G2 as expected. Don't know why you'd use a phone if you're serious about photography.

Photosphere is also in the stock camera app. It's called vr panorama.
Or is there a difference?

The way you block each image is different (match square rather than pointing at dot).
I read that aligning the square is supposed to get even better results but I've never had photosphere and have only tried vr pan once so can't say. My first attempt turned out mostly nice though. With some real issues that I attribute to taking some shots out of sequence. Like a whole section then rotating around to start shooting elsewhere before coming back....

Place them in your /System/lib/ folder and set permissions...

Awesome works on the stock rom with these libs in place, just wish there was a way to fix the on screen buttons but I can live with that
Ah and you can't set the camera higher than 8 megapixels.

Because the best camera is the one you have on you. If you always have your phone on you it's by far the best camera you have.
