Thanks for this release.
There is no more TomTom inside. But who needs old TomTom 6.
Regular keyboard is installed by default. There is no more old Polaris "touch" keyboard.
I don't know, but I think that this ROM is really fast.
I just tested IGO 8.31. I think that my GPS signal problem (mentioned in other tread) disappeared with this ROM. I will test IGO on the road.
Here is DDI included in this ROM. DDI version 3.18 and 2 kb bigger than 3.13
http://rapidshare.com/files/162700070/DDI.rar.html
I think that video playback (coreplayer, TCPMP) is really better. Can somebody else test this?

NICE!!
Let's see if we can have something from there...
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers

The size is the same like DDI.DLL in khanx ROM 1.4 - 285.944 bajts... Only version description other...

i'm sorry.. but what exactly is the difference between 3.13 to 3.18..?

Wow! more fun to the stale looking life... Lets the operation begin..

Great share boys!
Let's go for another cooking!

Without Touch keyboard, does HTC Touch Cruise still live up its name as 'Touch'? Wonder why HTC didn't put this in the latest ROM. Is HTC expecting us to use our finger with the small default keyboard?
By the way, my Video playback seemed to be worse than previous after the upgrade. All those converted video of mine can't be played properly in CorePlayer. Lag a lot in playback.

stable and fast rom
I flashed this rom and tested for several days.
Personally I think this is very good rom, fast, very stable and very smooth, no problem with any function by now.
I tried most of the rom here and now decide to stick this rom. I would strongly recomend people who are looking for stable and fast rom to use this rom.
BTW, I flashed radio 1.59.42.23, I'm not sure if 1.59.42.15 will has same performance or not as I prefer to update to a latest version

Thank you for feedbak. How is scroling and the general feeling when touching the screen ?

Very smooth.
The screen is more sensitive when touching comparing to 3.13.xxx.x, no lag as many cocked roms but more stable than many cocked roms.

P.S. to be more specific, i want a rom with this cube, from the video.

did anyone checked the video performance ?
any new drivers ?

FM Radio Problem
Hi.
FM Radio software seems working properly at first look, but if try to search, couldn't find any station.

Weird camera colour balance?

After taking a few pictures outside today, it seems the colour balance is completely shot on my HD2.
The effect is especially evident if you view the photos as thumbnails - there's a huge band of red in the centre of the photos.
I've attached a couple of examples, resized to VGA.
Has anyone else noticed a similar effect?
UPDATE: 22/11/2009 - numerous members are affected by this problem, see List of members with / without this problem here - post 138 in this thread
UPDATE: 10/12/2009 - HTC official hot fix available here:
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all

This occasionally happened to X1 photos. And it was because lens cover coating of the lens wore off. It was rather visible if you looked at the lens cover. Could be just dirty, too.

Yes, it is a common known problem of the hd2 camera.

can be moisture/glitch in white-balance (Very noticeable during video recording). I don't expect to get great results with this camera... so it doesn't really bother me.

to solve this issue change the auto white balance to outdoors not setting after auto, u will find this is best all round as i have after doing existence camera testing thought the day, i have some sample pics i took today ill add them once phones charged

same here outdoor delivers the best balance

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm pretty sure I was using 'outdoor' white balance in the photos above. Quite a few of the leo photos I've seen now have the red blotch in the middle to a greater or lesser extent.
I need to do a bit more testing.. just need some sun first!

The red splodge in the centre of pictures is quite shocking really!
Here's a picure of a plain wall which clearly shows the problem, the other picture has had the levels adjusted to highlight the problem even more

have you guys been in contact with HTC? i know i will if my phone turns out like that to.. power of the people!

Have you tried lowering the ISO sensitivity?... this looks like a defective ccd, rather than just wrong white-balance setting.

First pic is from a Diamond 2, ISO manually set to 100 and Fluorescent colour balance. The second shot is exactly the same settings on the HD2 !!!!

Nice one

My HD2 doesn't do this. All the pictures I've taken so far were just fine.

Last thing to try (under fluorescent lighting) - if there's a "FLICKER/FLICKERING" setting, try to play with it.
European devices should be set to 50Hz, In America/Asia - 60Hz.

1. Any possibility in passing on what settings you are using so that we all can further discuss this.
2. Have you tried pointing the camera at the ceiling indoors (or a large white space) and taking a shot. Is the shot clean and what colour does it show?

Okay.... I have now received a reply back from HTC.
The content of their reply is as follows:-
Dear valued HTC customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns. This could be a driver conflict and we recommend to try a hard reset on it make sure that you back up all your data before the reset. If the problem still going on after this then contact us and we will send your device to be repaired or returned this device to the re-seller and exchange fo another one. If these steps have not helped, please let me know by responding using the link provided and I will be happy to check again for you. Best regards, HTC customer support team HTC Corp. Global Service Division http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx Call Center at: 44-120-271-4530 if you have further questions.
--------------------------------------------------
My reply back to this read as follows:-
Dear Support,
This is not a driver conflict issue and a hard reset is not going to cure this problem.
It is either a generic hardware fault that is effecting countless HD2's or a software error.
This will either have to be addressed as a recall of all machines exhibiting the problem or a ROM patch.
Regardless, this problem is now being reported not just by me but by other sites as well ~ including the site I mentioned in my initial message to you which again can be found at:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4969313#post4969313
Thanking you.
--------------------------------------------------
I'll continue to keep you all updates as and when further material is sent to me.
Note:
In the meantime; I shall be in Theatre all day today and will be away from my computer for the next 15hrs.
I will re-log on tonight at midnight GMT and check for any replies from HTC.

Has anyone tried fards's solution?...

Flashlight Camera new Roms (2.09 etc)

Has anyone noticed the large improvement in the flash light adjustment of the
new ROMs?
I got Miri 4.2 6.XX, which has the new TMOUS 2.09 Rom.
Yesterday i took a picture on a party, it was dark and therefore the flash went on. I warned the girl that the light is going to blind her because normally people would yell at me when i try to take a picture with the hd2 because of the brutal flashlight being on all the time while taking a picture. B
ut then, the flash just did go off not even a second and the picture taken was pretty decent (see below)
Can anyone confirm this? Is it just Miris ROm or did they finally adjust the Flashlight timing so the camera can be used in dark rooms now without having the overlighting.
Greets,

yeah, i think i can confirm this. by the way good looking

Which ROM do you use?

I've already mentioned this in a post about Dutty's ROM almost a week ago and NOT ONE PERSON could be arsed to comment on it or put forward their opinion, despite the fact I took the time to flash back to the default TMOUS 2,10 ROM to find out. I posted pictures using the TMOUS with the new camera tweaks and Dutty's which (at that point) left them out.
The pictures are conclusive in my opinion.

I'm sure your original assessment was correct, but don't take it too personally. It's probably the pretty girl that got everyone's attention!

This is properly a part of the new camera app one the newer roms.. Could some of you on 2.10 maybe provide a CAB for this new camera application?

I tried using new camera package with 1.66 ROMs but no luck, photos are over-darkened. Seems it has a dependency on other ROM packages.

I think its more reliant on the camera drivers that changed..

I have to new Artemis HD2 v 5.0 Rom based on the 2.10 drivers but I can't obtain these results.
Could you post your settings or customisation, please ?

I am using itje rom (Touch it BL) and it is the first rom where my flash light does flush when set to auto flash. Before I had to put the ligh on or off and then make picture.

with RTT_Shock_Star_RC8_WWE there is unique picture quality, never seen before, now we can use HD2 for camera

Can someone do a CAB with the Fixes???
Would be grate!!!!!!

Using a ROM based in 2.10.
Amazing.

Just sent a letter to HTC inquiring their plans for an update. Anyone else?

Just blinded someone again. Using Artemis 5.0 (2.10 based)

please post your camera settings with this 2.09/2.10 rom !

would be great if the camera issue was fixed !

Pink spot on TMobile US HD2 Camera!!!

I thought that they had fixed this already!!! I thought this ROM had the Camera hotfixes included. The pink spot is extremely noticeable in some pictures I was taking for a project today. Is there any way I can fix this?
Adam

check if you have newest ROM etc

I manually installed the patch and still have the pink spot. I wrote HTC, but I don't expect much other than swapping phones.

in the normal hd2 it was fixed in 1.66 rom i don't have it now , but tmobile hd2 has a newer rom base so this problem shouldn't be exists ,if it is a common tmo us problem ,then expect a hotfix from htc if ot then you must sent your device for a repair

i am getting the same thing on my tmobile hd2

odd. mine is fine. maybe it was a batch of them.

Same here.....

It could just be a batch of phones that have that. My phone does not show it and I just took a picture of a white wall

I don't seem to have this problem at all.
Then again, I've also increased the resolution of my camera pictures in Superfine mode. That's the only quality I'm willing to take photographs in. Especially when it comes to being outdoors.
It's a hardware issue that HTC is very aware of. They have tried to patch this in the past, several times in fact with several "Hot Fixes" that were released for the EURO model... some devices might just be faulty.
It's luck of the draw in the mobile device world, seriously... it is!
So, is it just me... or is that dude... way up above me... is his signature just like, incredibly MASSIVE, or what?

There's already a thread about this:

disable flash
if you took the pics in a room (electric light) and have flash on then you will get a pink hue
just disable flash

[Q] My HD2 Camera isnt working good.

Hi,
The day when I got my HD2, the camera hasnt been that good.
Sometimes it takex excellent pictures, but many a times it doesnt.
I upgraded to the stock ROM 2.XX and now running the latest Elegancia ROM.
Sometimes the camera just tries to focus and then just takes what is possible.
But yesterday i compared mine with another HD2 (also with the stock ROM) and the other phone takes amazing pictures.
Could it be a Hardware problem?
One more thing that I have noticed.
usually i do not like to set the Image preview on. But many at times, I hear the click and as I decide that the image is taken, the picture appears to be stuck and later refreshes. Turning the Image Preview On resolves this problem.
Its like as if the camera has become faster and more responsive.
Any clues for the image quality? or the Auto Focus ?
I havent tried the registry tweaks etc,
I tried setting ISO to 100 ,
Flicker to Auto,
Image quality to Normal.

Elgancia rom has camera issues I had a problem where they came out really blurry or the flash and the camera would make everything white. If I was you I would flash it back to t-mobile stock rom and check if it makes a difference if not maybe its your phone.

You more than likely have original release HD2 hardware. What color is your reset button? If it's red then you do indeed have first revision hardware, and the camera not working properly is a known hardware fault, and most of the time T-Mobile will replace your device free of charge because it's a known problem.

You think thats what it is ? I got mine the first day it launch and works fine and then flash it to elegancia rom and came out crappy. I will look for some samples photos of stock and the custom. The reception issue I still have it as well my battery last around 8 hr annoying.

Aahh now there is a catch. I am in india, my brother bought this for me from ebay USA. So i guess i will have to live with it. Thank you for this clarification.
Others, please check your phone camera quality. as the other HD2 I have checked has good quality. Otherwise its an amazing phone. It has been the best buy so far.

I dont know that, But I dont think either. My camera issue has been from day one. Elegantia ROM has made my phone faster and more elegant I would say.
But I assure you, I would check back the Stock ROM later and let you know
Meanshile, i would also ask steve about the same.
Or.
Maybe if someone else had this issue and got it fixed ?
Wonder if there is any fix that i can try.

http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-HD2-T85...273194?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bac2a you can replace the camera if you wanna get down and dirty.
