I realize that this is a Nexus 6 forum., but the image may yield some things that are useful for the Nexus 6.
Like what? The only things in the image that would be different would be due to the hardware differences.

Exactly
It's the Google Camera app. It may have some slightly newer Google apps, but they'll end up in the Play Store shortly anyway, and other changes will be pushed to AOSP. So again, what is so special about it? It's not like it's going to magically give you a better camera sensor or fingerprint reader.
As stated this really means nothing to Nexus users. Any changes to the new nexus will be pushed to aosp or on the market for those apps that are not open source. Thread closed.

Hi im new to the Nexus 7 scene but pretty familiar with a variety of different devices (currently have a Samsung Epic 4G Touch as well). Im currrently running the 1/30 CM 10.1 and im wondering where is the camera?went through the roms zip and didnt see it in the system apps folder. Can someone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance all help is much appreciated

Generally, when dealing with something built from source on the N7, it's not going to have the stock camera launcher. As such, the workaround is to download Camera Launcher for Nexus 7 from the Play Store.

I don't know what the excuse is for the state of chrome for android. The beta and the new stable version have absolutely atrocious font rendering and are extremely laggy. I already though chrome for android was a mess and that the stock browser should never have been removed as the default for new devices but this is just ridiculous. I seriously think whoever is the project leader for chrome for android needs to be dismissed. It is seriously an embarassment to the platform and has ruined the stock performance of the nexus 7, 4, and 10. All three devices are butter smooth on a pure aosp rom or cm10 in the aosp browser. They are a chopfest with the stock chrome. I honestly think the only way to fix chrome now is to just rebase it on the stock aosp browser and rename it chrome.
They don't understand that we're not all masochists.
Install a third party browser.
No problems with Chrome on my 7 or my Galaxy Nexus. I use it as my main browser on both.
Does this thread serve a purpose other than whining about something that takes 30 seconds to change if you don't like it?
I have the aosp browser installed (running aokp 4.2.2) but many people especially the general public will only use chrome because its the default. As it stands right now its a complete mess. If you don't think it is install the aosp browser and then try to say chrome is better.
I agree with the OP, Chrome is a disgrace for android. It's very laggy, slow and the fonts displayed on web pages looks horrible.
I have the stock Rom with aosp browser, chrome is a crap, slower than any other browser, really laggy, really slow rendering, the only good thing is the integration with the Google services, I really like Google and love android, but, I'm not a zombie, if something works bad, I don't going to say is good only because I like who made it.
Only reason I use Chrome is because of syncing. Syncing in stock AOSP browser doesn't work in 4.2.2. I wish they'd hurry up and release ChromeSync for 4.2.2.
I like chrome :c The text is super clear if you ask me

Have you guys tried chrome beta? There's two versions of chrome.. Chrome beta is new and actively being developed on. I get updates once a week just about.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The OP is right. I have both the older version of chrome and chrome beta installed on my Nexus 7. I'm rooted but otherwise everything is stock. The fonts are slightly fuzzier in the beta version.
And much more annoying sometimes text is randomly sized way too small no matter what zoom I have set in the accessibility settings. This happens a lot on the xda forums in fact. I can literally switch between chrome (ver18) and the beta on the same page and thing look perfect in the old stable version but in the beta some post responses are tiny while others are normal.
My fear is that this bug along with the fuzzy fonts is now part of the stable chrome update. I was just beginning to like chrome again
And honestly I bet chrome is the number one reason why noobs buying a nexus 7 have a poor experience. Which is a shame because this is an amazing device.
You know what? Screw Chrome. It has always been buggy and slow and probably will be for a while. The most underrated but best browser there is hands down is x scope. I don't understand why it isn't more popular. I have tried all the browsers and it is by far the best. The quick toggles and ability to swipe the screen to go back and forth are extremely intuitive.

It performs better on my Nexus S than my Nexus 7. It's an interesting situation to say the least
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Slightly of topic but if I backup chrome with titanium backup will I be able to restore the old version of chrome if I don't like the update? I'm just wondering since you can't uninstall chrome (through the normal ui) the way you can other apps from the play store.
The most annoying problem for me is that it renders text differently in portrait and landscape modes. XDA for example becomes absolutely unreadable in portrait. And zooming without auto-reflow is also a pain in the ass.
The worst thing? They don't use their public bug tracker and don't react to any bug reports in any way.

Or just install chromebookmarksyncadapter.apk in system apps. I'm currently using stock rooted deodexed ROMs on both my 7 and galaxy nexus with aosp browser.
On topic, I have no problems with chrome on my nexus 7, it runs well and smoothly, I simply use the aosp browser because I prefer the layout, flash support, and quick controls.
Edit: for anyone wanting aforementioned apk. Simply place https://www.box.com/thisguy in system apps, reboot, check sync options and you should now have option to sync browser.

I had mixed results. It wasn't very good on my N7, but brilliant on my N4.
It sounds like a weakness in the Tegra3 platform,,,,,
Chrome update released yesterday.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Actually Google realised something was wrong with Chrome main. they publicaly said itll soon be getting plenty more stability updates and bugfixes. so they admitted fault there and the beta is exactly that. a beta. its them actually letting us test the versions they test faster.
so when you take these considerations in fact. the only thing you are whining about is them not updating fast enough. and thats just silly

I tried finding x scope in the Play Store but there is only the paid version.
So the very popular iOS camera app, Camera Awesome, recently made its way to Android, and Nexus 5 support was added in a recent update. I decided to check it out and the amount of features in this app are impressive and the app does not lag as much as the stock one after taking a photo (for those with restless dogs or babies, I HIGHLY recommend using this app!)
Overall, it has provided a much better camera user experience, I'd suggest this to everyone who isn't enjoying the current stock camera app. I know Google is working on an update to fix the camera app but Camera Awesome is definitely worth checking out!

Exactly. And this launcher cannot run on our N5s.
These applications will give update to HTC devices when ever HTC updates one of these application.
How about the HTC Sense Camera App on N5?
According to below link, they have managed to get previous version to work on Google Edition ROMS.

That's because Google Edition ROMS still have the original framework I believe. As in the GE HTC One still has the Sense framework so Sense specific apps will work on GE. Not sure about the s4 version, but it is probably similar. That being said it is probably next to impossible to get the camera to work with a Nexus 5.
Should be able to at least get the gallery working right

When HTC one gpe 1st came out a whole lot of sense framework was present...and as more updates came..they took out the sense framework which broke the camera for good

Gallery and Camera are a linked application so no camera = no gallery. I had the HTC One prior to this phone. I've been around the mill on the Sense apps.
The framework is now also included in the play store. Most of these apps are compatible with HTC One M8 GPE Edition also.

Similar issues with GS4 GPE. It was "aosp" with touchwiz and google frameworks... hardly aosp... in fact... the aosp roms were more different than our aosp vs stock options.

FYI, someone posted the HTC apk files for blinkfeed (and more) here.
I was able to install it while in Dalvik mode (doesn't install on ART), but when setting as home launcher it gives an error "Device not authorized/not compatible error". I was amazed I was able to get it to install at all (as well as the resource apk under the framework folder in the provided zip).

I'm just making this thread because I am just not too thrilled with Google's camera. I'm hoping together we can figure out which camera ports out there work well for the 6P - and I'm hoping for some 3rd party camera recommendations as well.
Remember not to link paid apps here - just name them if they're paid
I'll start...
I tried the Moto X Camera shared by @not-i. I thought it was pretty responsive. The UI seemed a bit tricky when trying to use the "Control Focus & Exposure" feature.
Any other cameras you guys care to mention? Maybe I'll throw them in the OP. Let's see if this goes anywhere
The HTC camera port is not too bad but i wish it had Manual Mode.
This may sound crazy but I'd kill to have a port of the Samsung camera...
Be nice to have the Color OS Camera Ported

I like ProShot as a paid app. Wasn't excited about the Moto X camera cuz it didn't do HDR. I'd LOVE the moto x camera with HDR. I still use the stock camera app day to day because even ProShot shows too much graininess in dark shots.
Any suggestions for good night camera or action camera
Snap camera HDR. Also has a second api. Lots of options.
There's a trial option so you can check it out, can alter the icon within the app.
Edit: scratch that, just installed it and it doesn't work wtf? Gutted.
I'm using the HTC camera as my daily.
