Ok forum, the hd2 has gone long enough with its crappy VGA limited video recording. There is no need to ask if the hardware supports it because we all know it can. Contrary to popular beliefs hd2 owners must remember that the hd2 is a software sandwich. To the core it is using HTC SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS THEN AFTER THAT.....windows 6.whatever is placed to interact with the now easier to work with software to hardware communication enviorment (thanks to HTC ) and after that we have our nicely polished sense ui interface floating over it all.this is why going from a HTC sense shortcut to and HTC application is ALOT smoother than HTC sense to winmo (without a mask). Why am I telling you guys this? Because most hd2 users are unaware how this process even works. I did not create this thread to hear questions of "why can't we get this working on our hd2? D: I know blahblahblah phone that can ....." if you read enough threads you will see that is not what contributes to solving the answer. What does is trying your own experiments with solving the problem and reporting your method and experience with the thread you are concerned with.
Now that that's. Said, lets move on to our main topic. There are many presumed. Ways to go about trying to enable HD recording including redgistry editing, writing new applications, or where I am looking into, writing additional camera drivers. As of now it stands that there is no alternative camera application for the hd2 and I have a pretty good idea why. Any. App you. Download from the marketplace. Or wherever only needs the camera to take a picture of whatever so that it can utilize the file itself afterwards. There is nothing that involves the live use of the camera itself. This also gives you and idea of how this camera app sits within the software itself. To any chefs that may read this, next time your ROM cooking make a duplicate of your camera software and share it with this thread for users to experiment with(that's if you an isolate it with your kitchen). With that said, afterwards, those who are seriously looking into solving this problem should also get some driver knowledge under their belt. With this you can actually contribute by experimenting on your own with the camera software. Remember if you want a solution its best to tackle the problem yourself. It gets things done alot faster because you are not as reliant on OTHERS to come up with the next big thing.
This is communicate a lot of times in the past, no feedback/changes at this time
From what I've read, WM 6.5 doesn't support 720p video recording. The only way forward for 720p on the HD2 is WM7 or Android. For now, Android is the closest... there are several Android ports available already and video recording is already working up to 800x480.
1080p would be better..... haha, why not 1080p? ur all hopeless lol
wow OP, such a well thought out post, and then posted in the wrong forum!!!
I am of the impression that if 720p recording was possible on the hd2, the great developers of xda would have done it by now.

It's true but if the hd2 was an android phone 720p recording would be no problems cause they have the drivers for that. Windows mobile doesn't support that resolution but android or windows phone 7 do. It's all about the drivers there is no driver for windows mobile 6.5 that includes that feature. This feature is all up to windows to support not htc.
Sadly this is an illusion winmo can't support it. The device can play back 720p videos. And it is capable of recording as well. The way this works is that winmo simply is a mediator between your files and digital interaction with the hardware. It controls what is on and what is off however is NOT responsible. For intaking data from the camera device itself. That is where the difference lies between a device like the Neo touch and the hd2(as far as playback is concerned) but like I said beforehand, it all comes down to editing the camera application Itself. As for ..720p on android builds, you need to remember that these are essentially roms. From other devices ducktaped by Linux on the device. Its the equivalents of cutting an oak down to the exact size of an apple tree but you may never get apples from it nomatter how identical it looks. Granted there are still improvements. To be made but as it stands 720p recording still needs more looking in to by both our current developers and those to be aka YOU GUYS. so time to crack open your programming Theory books.....

impossible?
720p recording needs to be developed From my point of view it's only matter of software that will provide this function. Many times I saw that miracles tend to happen in xda forum so I'm very optimistic of this topic. I think that it's right topic, because a lot of people look here for new roms, so the answer will come more quickly what is cotulla's opinion?
there is more information about 720p camera recording
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719315&highlight=720p
Yes I know that threads purpose was moved here in a more focused manner of enabling the stock hd2 not android. If you can see I've already tagged the thread up and and as for cotulla, he is very busy with yet another ground breaking project of running windows mobile 7 on the hd2. It would be great if we had his support however there are times in life we have to figure things out without an XDA legend holding our hands.

Wrong, here is why: when you go to home depot and buy a washing machine, can you carry it home? Not unless your Superman. You need a strong truck that can carry it for you. Winmo can't handle 720p files by itself, that's where HTC drivers and a 1ghz processor compensate. On the device itself winmo just has to know what goes where and "how to drive the truck"

Hello
I have a simple choice to make, whether to go with the HTC HD2 (and Windows 6.5), which will entail leaving Orange and not getting any upgrade offers, or to go with the Desire and Android.
I currently have a Diamond and have never, truly, had a problem with it that is down to the operating system. The reason its now dog slow is something to do with the amount of times ive dropped it from circa 4 feet. Its also scratched to buggery. I do like a lot of features of Windows 6.5 though, and im therefore a little reluctant to jump over to Android for a faster OS when i will sudddenly not be able to do some things i do now.
The first one that springs to mind is the contact list, where i can simply type a few numbers, or letters of someones name (first name or last name or last 3 letters of name, etc) and get given the number i want. Does Android do this? (I assume this is an OS thing, as my previous windows phones have all done this, though no other non windows phone ive used has!)
Otherwise, in terms of applications, will they run on Android if they run on Windwows, i suspect not. Or is it a case that some might but some wont? Is it a completely different setup? I have TomTom which runs like a gem through windows, will this work with android? I guess this is a usual question, im not buying TomTom again just to have it on my new device!
Final thing, what is battery life like on each, is one much better than others, particularly when using applications and, in particular, GPS?
Any sensible discussion is appreciated. No 'Desire is better' etc comments without a comparison/reason please.
Thanks in advance!
Steve
HD2 > Desire
not only the OS, but I simply love the hardware much better too.
With Android you get the promise of frequent(ish if you think of the hero) updates to your OS. Yeah you get less useability but you can still root your phone if you need to.
Winmo is still good and the HD2's screen is a thing to behold. Honestly, best bet is to try the phones yourself in a store.
I have both. HD2 and Desire.
Desire: Awsome! Poor battery, need to recharge 2-3 times at one day! Low volume! Poor music player! If you get a SMS from a service like 1999 it randomly finds a contacts and says for example that the SMS is from Mark (a random contact). VERY slow charcing! Android, very userfriendly! Awsome FaceBook app! Can only synch my Gmail!!! AMOLED screen!
Leo: Awsome fast charcing! Good batterylife! SRS WOWHD v1.5.1.0 = Awsome music quality! Need to be restarted every day, more then one time each day! Awsome screen! SMS deliver problem! Keyboard lag! I can synch my Hotmail, contacts etc! Costumizable! Better flash.
I'm currently using both, Leo for music and Desire as my main phone. And my Sony Ericsson watch is connect with my Desire...
I have just brought a desire for my daughter and have been comparing the two phones.1st of all I love my hd2, so i thought it would be very one sided and it was.
The desire is just so much better.The hd2 is without doubt the best looking hardware with the nicest screen in the world (IMHO) but the android software is so much easier and rewarding to use. The hd2 suits me fine because when im working nightshift and I have 10 hours to kill doing nothing, Im busy messy around with my phone getting this to work or that to work but I dont think thats for everyone.
The way I see it is you have the IPhone that everything works and is so easy a baby could use it but for that reason its locked down in every way that you cant do anything to modify it or personalise it.
You have the HD2 which seems totally open but you have to get your hands dirty to make everything work or to make it work faster or less buggy.
The Desire sits right in the middle and takes the best of both. Everything works very easily and SUPER QUICK, you have your millions of unnecessary apps, its not locked down like the IPhone and even more customisable than the hd2. You also have the fact that android will keep being developed and WM wont.
Sorry for the long post but seeing as im doing exactly what the post was talking about i had a lot on my mind.
RReckless
PS my HD2 is still the prettiest of them all
HD2
get the HD2. i take it with your diamond your used to hard spl if so the HD2 is no different.
put a good custom ROM on ie xtreame 6.5 rom and you will not have any problems
as for syncing mail, i use my google mail account for exchange with contacts etc, and hotmail for emails as well both work flawlessly and have no sms problems
bottom line, if you don't mind putting a custom rom on your phone get the HD2
otherwise the desire is your best bet
1. Desire is from HTC so it has the function press some letter then the contact pop up like u want.
2. I can say apps on Desire have more fun to use, but not so convenient for some basic function, e.g: HD2 have TCPMP, Core Player to play video that u dont have to spent hour to convert. Mobipocket reader to read prc. Office mobile is so convenient.
You will feel it's really fun with apps at first, but when u try everything that are recommended, you will just need the basic things which HD2 is better
3. I dont have a Desire, but based on reviews, battery life seem to be worse than HD2.
4. Desire can be rooted but u cannot do much thing with it like with HD2, and you will feel bored very soon in terms of customizing ur screen
i want the live wallpapers on my hd2 >.> xd
My Pennies worth...
I had both the Desire and HD2 for a week to compare..
Yes you do need to tweak the HD2 more (but that's part of the fun and being in the xda community)... and android is being developed for much quicker than anything else but I choose the HD2 for the following reasons..
1.The Camera is much better on the HD2 even though they are both 5 megapixel shooters, the HD2 was better in all conditions (low light etc)
2.There's no decent video player for android yet (compared to coreplayer, although I believe they're working on an android version)
3. I stream a lot of TV/Music and the beebplayer program is rubbish compared to myPlayer on winmo - having said that the LastFM widget for Android is really good.
4. The Screen is better IMHO on the HD2 in both size and quality
5. FPSEce is only available on winmo and is totally brilliant.
6. I've gambled on the fact that the HD2 may get an android port or windows 7 port by the talented devs on this site, and therefore give me the best of all worlds on a really powerful device.
The only thing i miss from Android at the moment is the live wallpapers... very cool
Some good posts, here, thanks a lot.
Re: Android ports for the HD2, ive heard this mentioned a lot. I know a bit about roms and things (I have duttythroys rom on the Diamond), but im not too sure about the OS. Is it feasible that HTC (or someone else) release a rom or something that would put Android onto the HD2? Is Windows 7 also a possibility? Obviously you can do it with a PC, jump from say XP to Windows 7, is the same move just as easy on a mobile device or does it require radical jiggerypokery?

mmh, microsoft said there will be NO upgrade to wm7.. but a port is possible, it did even succeed already to port wm7 to the hd2, its just buggy, and buggy means useless..
HTC will never make an android hd2 rom.. that would be really really really amazing if they would do that, but this are some crazy wishes xD
but yea, other HTC winmo phones got ports for android... even dualboot winmo/android. i would love that on the hd2 >=)
So i guess the point is that it *could* happen, even though it may not be official (as far as HTC are concerned?)
Just went to a mobile shop today and played with Desire for a while. IMO, I can conclude that the Desire with Android 2.1 is not interesting as it is advertised. Web browser is a very little faster, phone still laggy sometimes, not anything more special then 1.5 in terms of looks, customization. I still feel bored quite quickly
So I'm writing this list in full understanding that it is still in development for the HD2. I just want to bring to the developers' attention about what I believe to be really desired features by many. And many of which I don't think will be hard development changes. If anyone else thinks of any, feel free to reply with your ideas and Ill update this post so developers don't have to search or "fetch" the for the ideas. Oh by the way, these features are ideally from the HD2 windows mobile side of things and I feel that if we can get these features on the Android side, it won't be hard for me to let go of WM. Hey, it's the truth.
LIST OF FEATURES:
Boost from 5mp to 8mp camera
Touch focusing on camera
Fixed led notifications [being worked on]
Auto backlight [being worked on]
audio routing through bluetooth?
Other things not directed towards developers:
CoPilot (Although Google Nav is doing it for me )
Office Mobile 2010 or close

Um we have a 5mp camera not a 8mp camera its a physical limit.
Ill have a play but I think we can already do touch focus and there are plenty of other camera apps out there.(upon a quick check i found auto focus but not touch to focus)
Led notifications "are" being worked on as we speak.
I believe the auto backlight works(kinda sorta) I believe I saw cotulla say it was working but the polling delay was high so you might not see a change right away. Not sure if they incorportated that yet.
I have not looked into these threads but I know that android has copilot.
and I know we have documents to go. There is a free version and a paid version.

I understand that we have a physical 5mp camera but why do we have that tweaking app for wm that tweaks it to 7/8mp?
There is a difference between touch and auto focus. Touch focus allows you to touch the screen and wherever you tap will come into focus. Huge difference when taking close-ups of an object.
Wonderful news about the led and backlight. Thanks for the update!
Only info i could find as far as the camera and android is 720p recording. It might be best to ask the camera question in the nexus1 forums. I am not sure the tweaks are legit.
A wise man once said your images will still look like crap no matter how many mp's you have if your image processor sucks.

There is a thread out there concerning this issue, but no solution.
the wake problem is being addressed. So there wont be a solution till the dev's figure it out. A lot have stated that using the evo kernal makes it a lot better but Ive seen higher than normal drainage.

How about audio routing through bluetooth? Its 1 useful feature of Winmo that ive been unable to get on Android.

No we do not have a tweek for higher MP cameras.
The sensor in the camera is simply only able to register a photo size of 5mp!
Even with that tweek, the photo size is still 5megapixel. (i.e. 2580 by 2048 pixels in size). 5 megapixel will print at about 8 by 10 inch, do you really want a bigger print from your phone?!
Megapixels have nothing, at all to do with image quality (unless your printing large, even then they are sort of pointless!)
That tweek, as far as I know changed the DPI of the photos.
720p video would be nice though,lol
I wish I could listen FM radio through my bluetooth headset
Well personally for me the biggest issue is stable 3G/HSPDA performance. At the moment it is the single biggest limitation of Android on the HD2. All those other issues just pale into insignificance by comparison.
The next biggest is the poor GPS pickup speed. If these were sorted I'd be very happy.
maybe a louder volume hack... since meltus stopped updating for 2.1+
music speaker and speaker phone volume is too soft. The same song plays louder when i bluetooth to another phone.
THIS IS FOR WM 720p -NOT ANDROID 720p recording.
So it seems DFT has done it again, another great movement foward for the hd2, however users are still left without hd recording still. not that i expect dft to enable it (even though im sure they could figure it out) but i would like to hear some of your guys ideas in getting this great piece of machinery to record in hd. this thread is more for getting the community involved in development instead of you guys simply "leeching" (no offence). XDA is a very respected site and it would be a shame to have members only here to get the new coolest dohicky for their smart phone. dont forget, its called a community....SO LEARN HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Personally i have been working on enabling 720p Rec. for a few months but sometimes 2 or more heads are better than one. if you want to know details reguarding my methods you can PM me but essentially i have been trying to tweak reg values to support higher res h.264 videos and/or creating or allocating the correct dlls for video capture-(trying to modify some of the OEM drivers).any help would be greatly appreciated. again, keep in mind this is windows mobile and does not do anything for android builds for now(for you not so sharp ones).
if anyone is intrested in testing AND sharing ideas please comment. other than that lets try to keep the sensless banter to a min.
ive seen a few posts that say windows phone 7 on hd2 has 720p recording why doesnt android have that if it does can somebody point me to the right rom for it
Search it up and you'll find answers. Do some half assed search and you're not helping anyone.

As far as I know there isn't any HD2 android rom that has 720p recording capabilities at 15 or 25 or 30 frames/sec. That is the only thing missing from making the phone wonderfull.
I looked for many threads and blogs to see is somebody has managed to do it.
Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11417869
They said : NOTE we are enabling HD 720 recording for you but currently it is only working @ about i think evo1rs said 1.5 frames a second ;/ but all the current modes that you have will work much smoother and better in quality then before. really really good work evo1rs ).
So not yet the quality that we want....and that is a sd rom not a nand.
I really hope that in the near future someone will figure this one out
Hello everybody.
If anyone is interested how our device performs next to the "big boy" like One X, here is a video showing you exactly that.
Besides, it prooves absolutely the oposite of what HTC have said about our device running better android 2.3.5 than android 4.0.

This video actually doesn't prove a thing. You usually don't see much of a difference unless you did something more resource heavy than what I saw him do in the video.
Thanks a lot man U have just confirmed what we all were suspecting. This device is more than capable for running ICS and HTC just want us to buy another cellphone

Actually marl30 is right, you can take any phone and do those things fairly quickly, the difference is in the heavy using. What is the point of having ICS if your phone will not be able to play games as smoothly as it used to before. Some people would say they don't need games, but that is not the issue. A company such as HTC is obliged to provide a ROM with full functionality, heavy gaming included. If in their opinion DHD is not capable of running games on ICS the same way it was on GB then their not releasing ICS for DHD would be fully understandable. Although I tried gaming on HTC and must say that there is little difference in performance. The issue is that the drivers are not perfect and sometimes there are glitches on the screen or some lights missing.

1- little difference.
2- nothing is perfect, even htc's last oficial rom was buggy
3- of course there are glitches, devs here are either porting from other phones or building from ground up and doing a hell of a good job.
4- and yeah, I do agree with your initial statement - but that is not the issue as stated beforehand.
Sent from a dream.
Don't get me wrong, I also think we should get ICS or even JB. I believe that it would run like hell on our DHDs. I'm only saying that you can't compare those two phones barely on such mundane tasks like opening an sms app or launching facebook. The test with locking and unlocking the phone is just playing stupid. You can take any new phone and compare it to any old phone and the result will be the same, the task is designed to be easy on the phone so to be accomplished quickly.
Try running these two through a benchmark or measure the framerate on some gameloft games (Asphalt, GT Motor Academy etc.) the difference will be huge.
Quite frankly, to me the only viable reason for us is the fact that HTC One V (or One S) is actually the same phone as our DHD but with ****ty camera, and that thing is getting ICS. So if the same hardware with worse camera can operate sufficiently under ICS why can't the DHD. It obviously is a scam on us customers to make us leave the great device that we have and go spend our money on some new HTC phone. If you ask me that whole thing with ICS helped me with a decision, I know now that my next phone will not be HTC, probably SGS III or Note 2, at least they get support.

Yes, but both devices use same software so its only the matter of hardware (and cpu scheduler) how fast they unlock But yea, it clearly did not proove anything besides that Desire HD can run Ice Cream Sandwich like big phones can. I think that was the point?
Well, almost. What I meant was that running ICS is one thing, other thing is to run apps on ICS. In the same way you can compare an old PC and a new PC. Old one will run games ok under Win XP. New one will run games the same under Win7. But if you install Win7 on the old PC the system itself will run fine, simple tasks will run as well as on the new one but you will not be able to play your games anymore.

I got your point (edit: maybe I didn't), but it is not the same to put a benz engine in a toyota frame than a toyota engine in a benz.
Android is basically linux (someone correct me if I wrong), and linux is developed in such a way you can put it in older machines and works much better than windows in the same machine.
If android follows the same philosophy, then there is no reason why a fully optimized ics or jb can't work on our dhd's/inspires.
I may be wrong and I may have digressed from your initial premise, if I did sorrry.

If android follows the same philosophy, then there is no reason why a fully optimized ics or jb can't work on our dhd's/inspires.
I may be wrong and I may have digressed from your initial premise, if I did sorrry.

You are correct. Because every update does not make the system resource heavy, but its optimized so it runs smoother and buttery good, like jelly bean. Its not like windows - they are heavier and heavier because they want people to buy new computers. Remember - windows has 85% sales when people buy windows preinstalled on computers. You cant compare it with android or cars (cars and engine - you are talking hardware here, we are all about software)

Hello everybody.
If anyone is interested how our device performs next to the "big boy" like One X, here is a video showing you exactly that.
Besides, it prooves absolutely the oposite of what HTC have said about our device running better android 2.3.5 than android 4.0.
Make love, not war!

I.. do not fully understand. You show a video proving the animation speeds are the same? If im not mistaken, arnt the animations made to run at a certain speed? If thats the case then the video really doesnt prove anything between the two phones.
HTC should learn something from this.. The developers in XDA can do this so why cant the engineers at HTC??
They should hire their developers from XDA

In video it was pointed out that all setting on both phones are the same, so its all matter of harware how the phones perform.
