I'm still using Cardboard Camera. It installed on my new phone when I set up it (probably because it was on the previous device).

Have you tried grabbing the apk from somewhere?

I think you can still get it right from the Google Play app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.sam...
That's Cardboard (the viewer app), not Cardboard Camera (the recording app).

But as mentioned elsewhere, the official camera app does offer this functionality.

It probably doesn't do the stereo image though, right? That was the coolest part. You need a VR device to see it properly but it really adds to the photo.
Ah - I presumed the reason people were mourning it's demise was because it wasn't still on the store!
Edit: Correction. The viewer app is on the store, not the camera app that allows you to take panoramas.
