I was wondering if there is anyway to get the new Google camera that was released via the play on the AWE.

I've been working on it. So far the amount of work needed to get it even partially working isn't worth the hassle.
1. You have to freeze play services.
2. You have have all the sharedpref files from a working device. (Pulled mine from my Nexus)
3. Switching from lensblur to camera to video to settings causes force closes. There's no photosphere obviously as the N800 doesn't have a gyroscope.
So in conclusion until its reverse engineered.(if ever) I don't see it being a viable option for non 4.4 devices.

Still SDK version 19 in the manifest. It won't work until its reverse engineered/back ported.

It'll always force close because its not intended to run below API 19 for now if ever.
