Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm using v1.72 WWE stock ROM but I'm considering venturing into the world of Android for the HD2 as there seems to be lots of development that is tempting me.
The camera is important to me so can anyone tell me what their impressions are of the quality and options on Android builds in comparison with stock ROMs? I find the stock ROM to provide usable results although in party environments the flash washes the images out and they are often blurry. V3.14 is better but as I wanted other people's opinions.
ON android the camera quality is not as good as WM, in the registry change the camera value to:762929 and you will have 720p quality photos.
BTW my flash works perfect on Wm As well.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
720p on camera? W.U.T.A
Anyway...camera on wm makes better quality photos, especially in daylight

I am currently running Froyo on my Desire, but one thing i REALLY miss is the HTC Camera, as it is far superior to the stock Camera app.
Does anyone know a good alternative? or preferably an APK that will let me install the HTC camera?
Totally agree with the Sense camera being far superior to the stock one.
Would love to see if anyone could port it.

Wow 191 views and no one can recommend an alternative camera app? that kinda sucks,
camera 360 seems nice enough
Vignette?
best cam app i found so far, loads of fun playing with filters and fx
There is one called Camera ZX I think, check that out.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
there is FX camera and retro camera both are free and quite nice
From those I've tried on my own device and that of my friends, Camera Pro, Camera Zoom FX, FX Camera and Vignette are the better apps. They all have differences though, and limitations. They take the same pic slightly differently, sometimes very differently. The most sharpness, visual acuity and the least noise in taken images I've found with the stock HTC camera app, but the best colour reproduction, white balance and contrast I found with Camera Pro. In daylight and at night, these aspects looked almost indistinguishable from what my eyes were seeing of the objects. The best overall app was Camera Pro for me, but, it didn't have the high quality shot settings which others did, and that made a big difference for me. Enough to not use it.

Currently, I'm running froyostone and the camera app only displays quality as "3mpx" when in reality the HD2 has a 5mpx one.
Which android build allows full camera quality? Is this the type of thing a new zimage would fix or is it more of a build issue?
It's kind of driving me crazy.... I've built a mostly functional daily use build where everything but the full camera (and WiFi hotspot, which I know is being worked on) is working.
Also, what's the story with 720p video recording? Is the HD2s camera capable of that resolution?
If anyone would like to see the steps I took to make my daily use build, a tutorial is on my website but as a new user, I am unable to post links.

There are already builds with the full 5MP camera working (mattc nexusleo, for example).
Obviously the Leo's camera is able to take 720p videos, and in theory even 1080p, in fact 1920*1080 is something like 2MP... The problem is in codecs and CPU usage, but soon we'll have 720p as the N1 and the Desire have.. And probably we'll never see 1080p because it's too big to calculate proprely for the CPU, and it would take too much space on the SD, too...
mattc NexusLeo v1 has the camera working perfectly at 5mpx.
I don't want to use no sense ROM anymore. The interface is very crude.
Is there any solution for HTC sense ROM with 5MP camera?

Each to their own, but I think the Android 2.2 interface with LauncherPro is superb.... I am fed up with the HTC Sense look, its like WinMo (and I am not going back there again! !!! )
If you are willing to pay for an app then vignette will not only give you full resolution but will give you a much more robust camera app with a ton of features and much better jpeg compression

My personal impression is that WM camera performance is superior to that of the Android on HD2 in all Android variations so far.
Is it a "built in" deficiency of the Android? Should proper camera performance be expected from "native" Androids like the Desire HD?"
I must convesse that the camera works better with WinMo. With Andriod is much less sharp. Got to life with it for now but i'm looking for a better van install.

I am also very curious
I am also wondering this same thing. I have noticed that the pictures in android are pretty poor quality. On all builds that I have tried with my hd2. So I am also curious if the phones with native android os have better cameras. I had a original my touch with a terrible camera.
But I would expect more from the camera on the hd2
I've had the exact opposite experience, I've found that Android pictures are far better than WM pics. They're sharp & the colors are correct, versus orange-tinged pics in WM.

What build are using. And is it sense or stock android. Also I wasn't necessarily comparing it to wm exclusively. Just quality in general.
By my impression, sense camera gets better quality photos compare to stock camera app.

By saying "Android pictures", do you mean "native" Android (phone designed for Android") or Android ported to WM "native" piece, like HD2?
I think sense will make a diff here, some setting may require tweaking....

Also had that impression. First Android build I tried was FroyoStone 3.2 and picture taken from camera looked much sharper than in WinMo.
Froyostone sense has for some reason super good cam quality you can get it here.
What do you think guys, wich is the rom for the best photos?
I talk about camera drivers / colours etc..
Thank you!
You need to check it one by one.
To see is to believe!
Ciao,I think you can try typhoon 's cyanogenmod ,in my opinion is one of the best roms.You get almost the same quality with every rom,this one has the touch to focus function.If you need to take high quality videos,instead i think you have to go for a wp7 rom,cause we can use the 720p hd recording function under this os

Try Tytung's nexus ROM. It has a camera without lags and it is has a good quality

The best ROM for us Italians is the XB CM7 DEV VER. 21.1 ZIP ALL IN ONE, the image quality depends from the hardware and not from the software.
Hi.I have HTC Hero now and i have in plan to buy desire hd because it's a lot better phone,and most important what i need good camera,i am interested what quality of pictures taken with camera flash in the night,anyone can attach some pictures? tnx in advance...

actually, im a little underwhelmed with the photo quality to be honest. Iphone pics and htc one X pics are miles ahead. dont know about the galaxy s2 though. Id suggest just going with the One X anyways if you have the cash for it. The desire HD is an older phone, even though it still does everything right

Lol crap Iphone make good pictures ???
Don't know where yo heard ore seen that because that's not true
I have both phones and the DHD wins miles over the Iphone
( only filming in HD the Iphone wins )
ok tnx guys i will buy it sure
Desire HD is great for taking pics its superior to hero I had before.
Flash is ok.
If you want full camera options you need sense though, ics camera is still buggy on most roms untill htc releases kernel, stock android camera like cyanogen is limited and grainy for my personal experience. Miui is good but limited.

What?? The iPhone 4s is known for taking beautiful pictures... Im no apple fanboy and I stand by android but iPhone 4s clearly takes better pictures than the desire hd. Now the One x(my current baby) blows both out of the water. OP, if you have the $99 for a HTC One X I highly advise it
The DHD camera is great, just make sure you use the stock camera app or the MIUI one.
Here's a few pics I took with it. You can judge yourself. They're not on par with a standard digital camera, but I think they come close. A better photographer would probably get something a little crisper.

These aren't the DHD's full potential, the sun's glare was too much and I couldn't really see my shot until I took it.
You can judge if the camera is good enough for you (Note, this was taken with the Inspire 4g, which should be exactly the same as the DHD in terms of camera)

I made some tests, and for me THE BEST camera app is Camera Pro (Camera X) for NICE Steady photo mode, horizontal level (oh yeaah), and other ... also, considering post #2 link, You can catch better photos.
Also, I noticed, that THE BEST and awesomes Photos & Videos are making in Virtuous Infinity (better, than stock).
Virtuous Infinity uses stock sense camera should be no difference to other sense Roms.

yes you should definitively check my Desire HD camera guide
but to give you a final conclusion
the Desire HD camera can give great clean 8Mpixel results with very little digital processing, however the shutter speed is slow, so patience and a stable hand is required
