    Have the app and could pop it up on dropbox Chet though think you will have no problem sourcing it

    Search google for 4.2Camera_t04.zip

    I tried installing this camera app on my one x and it keeps failing when taking the photosphere. Seems to be a common problem on the One X. :-(

    Think it only works with the Nexus and the S3 "at the moment", had a few moments to play with the camera this afternoon in my sisters park

    Effort at a full hemisphere is a bit flaky to say the least

    Stupid question, are you supposed to keep the phone in the same position in space and move it or hold it at arms length and rotate in an arc?

    Flashed on SGS2 and works for me!
    I also flashed the 4.2 keyboard (with swipe feature) but that didn't work, keeps FC'ing.

    [Galaxy S2, CM 10 nightly] 360 pano shot works, but it doesn't want to stitch all photos together :-( The phone waits for more photos, but there are no blue dots left. Any ideas?

    "Back" leaves the app, "menu" does nothing, "home" goes to home screen. All I can do is press "480p" on screen - that one removes last photo taken.

    I also noticed that there is no option to switch off flash in normal camera mode. Maybe it's a problem with CM10.

    Have had this for a while on Photaf app for the one x, works a treat and you can upload to facebook or their page for online sharing....

    Here is one taken from the roof of my apartment in Limerick

    Different program altogether, photoaff does a full panorama as do a few other apps and quite well too, Photo Sphere is a different ball game as you will see if you check the 2 videos

    Does this link help Chet, not my photo but its a great demonstration
    http://kennydude.github.com/photosphere/test.html

    Hope it works

    Not sure, download the apk and flash it with rom manager as I did, you might want to backup ur existing rom first

    Some useful reviews/information in these two links, its all very new yet

    its not an app. when i got it it came as a zip, had to be flashed in recovery.
    fairly straightforward.
    iv taken a few shots there earlier messing with it. it looks really cool when reviewing it on the phone after. its like google street view the way you can circle around in it (the gallery app is altered also to allow you do it, or else it was an apk i installed im not sure, i just got an apk and the zip off xda forum)

    trust me when i sayt the pics being posted there arent even an indication as to what it does. I thought it was crap at first because when you are taking the photos, where they overlap looks pure crappy, but when you stop it sticks them together perfectly.
    it works it out like google street view then, up to wherever you take the photos. I was pure amazed when i reviewed a saved one and it came out like it did

    If you do a full panorama getting all the points then go into view it in the gallery there'll be a new icon in the bottom right to open tiny planet mode

    really? cool. am in work at the minute so cant.. or well i shouldnt :P
    it takes quite a while to go through a lot of points. i have done a 180. it gets to a stage where the last few points are your feet and the ground or just clouds, so i hafnt put a focus on them i generally do like a 90-120degree forward angle too, so you could argue i dont need more than panaroma but its nice :)

    p.s that tiny planet thing you are on about is only in the new gallery also, so you do need the new google apps zip for this to work properly, as it allows you do the circular rotationey thing after, like a google maps thing,but its all instantly loaded as its on your phone so theres no lag or stutter doing it.
