So I am using CM7, and while I may switch to other AOSP roms, I likely will never go back to TW. However, I do miss the TW camera greatly. It is one thing Samsung did 'right.' I know that camera cannot be ported to AOSP, but I have yet to find a camera app that can emulate its panoramic feature, that I CAN use on AOSP roms. Does anyone know of an app that might fill that gap?
Look through the android apps and games section, do a search for "Sony panorama beta" and see if you can find it. It is nothing other than a camera app that does panoramas, no other features, but it works great.
If you want a good camera app in general either switch to miui or find a miui camera ported to other roms. It's by far the best camera app in my opinion, no panorama but everything world great.

Yeah I already have the miui camera on CM7. I just found the app you suggested, and it does not install for me. It does not appear to be supported for our device however.
Where\how do I get the MIUI camera for CM7?
I use camera zoom fx. Love it.

Does this have a panorama feature? I don't just mean a wide angle shot, but panorama like the stock touchwiz camera has?

Odd, I installed it back on cm and it worked, since then I have gone to miui and it restored from titanium fine. I used it last week to get some cool wide angle shots of times square.

You are talking about this one:

?
I tried using the panorama-fix-z_signed as well as the zip for the i9000 and couldnt get the apk to install either time, perhaps you can shed some light for me?

If you haven't already, you might try using ApkInstaller, which is downloadable from the market. That worked for me when installing the MIUI camera.
Edited to add that I just followed the link and installed the Sony Panoramic Beta and when I used ApkInstaller to install the version for non-rooted phones, it worked great.

I was able to install the version for non rooted phones successfully, and it seems to be working flawlessly so far. I did not have to use APK installer at all, and I am rooted, so not sure why I had to use non-rooted version, but /shrug. Thanks!
Does Sony Panoramic Beta have that annoying limit on how long a video should be?
Not to knock chrome but smh, I can't stand this browser, never have.
Anybody had any success installing the browser from stock aosp? If so, I'll just send it over from my Galaxy nexus..

The Craig Gomez ROM has it built in instead of chrome. I must admit, it seems to be better than chrome in every way.

Even if chrome was better in every other way, the fact that it doesn't have quick controls makes it completely inferior IMO.
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

Install cm10 or any aosp ROM and the stock browser has full bookmark sync support.

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.

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

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.

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.
I am running CM 10.2 on my verizon G2, It is running pretty sweet but there are some things that aren't available that are on the stock ROM. Wondering if any of you guys have found a way to compensate.
Is there an app that makes use of the IR, FM tuner? And maybe can we pull the camera app out of the stock rom or find a replacement?
i've had no luck side loading the Quick Remote app. I've got the apk but it always says app not installed. I'm running Carbon. Thinking about flashing back to stock everything. System and Recovery.

It's all about choices. You can't always have everything. However, check the Themes and Apps section. I know there is at least one camera in there. Not sure if it's compatible with CM, though.
Anyone using Omnirom on their n10? I didn't see any recent topics on it. I've grown use to the multi window feature on my Samsung products and would like to try the multi window feature of omnirom. My nexus 10 is still stock which I have no problems with. Thoughts?

A quick look through the Android development forums and you'll see, now, two OmniROM roms. The official one was just released yesterday and Tempest rom has been around for a very long time. Good luck.
Try it out! It's nice if you are accustomed to using it. I flashed Omni for that specific reason. I just find I have been using it less and less since I graduated; it was very useful in college but now I can't use it at work because the N10 is not company-issued ("secure") and when I'm just browsing the Internet or playing a game, I have no need for it. If you will find it useful definitely check it out.

Try using the xposed module Xmultiwindow. Works just like omni window, but on any ROM
