Hey guys. I read on a couple of blog sites that the HTC Desire 2.1 Sense ROM has been leaked and it's currently being ported onto the Nexus One.
Is there any chance we can use this ROM to fill in the gaps for our 2.1 ROM, or maybe even just port this ROM directly onto our CDMA Hero's?
Here's one of the articles: http://phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/blog/htc-s-sense-ui-ported-over-to-nexus-one.aspx
This does mean there is an HTC 2.6.29 kernel. It's an HTC kernel, but not a Hero-specific kernel. This might make porting the kernel easier.... who knows.

Could it help in getting camera to work on 2.0+ custom ROMs, even if it's for another phone?
Yes, it could. This means there's a 2.6.29 kernel for HTC Sense phones. We need to put in the device drivers (i.e. microphone, camera, speakers, trackball) and see if it works. If not restore a Nandroid and try again. Any devs correct me if I'm wrong?
oh wow it says the new flash is in it too...could that be ported to?

I think that's a matter of an APK. It might have some dependencies that are in the .29 kernel, not sure.
Sorry I haven't searched yet, but could someone find me a link to a ROM from it? I'll try my hand porting some stuff.
yeh i can do some porting too we can make it a group project. but i really dont think it is possible. if anything perhaps we can take some stuff from the rom and port it to the 2.1 rom flipz has out and maybe get camera and stuff working.
I should've mentioned that's what I would've done.
I can't find the leaked rom after much googling. Might be on the Nexus One forum... brb.
Is this it?

That's the HTC_IME that fits the hi-res Nexus screen.
I think MaDaCo got it from a inside source. The watermarking has been removed but he isn't convinced it is clean and ready for open distribution yet. (Doesn't want anyone to lose there job if its not clean)
He has promised that once it is clean and ready he will for sure post it for everyone to have.
thank you for the info^^^
i guess we wait it out..

post it as in, it works for our hero's?
maybe this will give people a chance to figure out a way to OC??? just a thought i hope so!!! i been waiting since 2.0 was announced to get it for sense! im so excited!
Android dev Modaco has gotten his hands on a watermarked copy of the HTC Desire ROM. He has successfully ported the too big ROM (too big for the N1 by 200 MB) into his Nexus phone. This could possibly be what all you Sense UI fans have been waiting for, though you shouldn’t be too excited just yet. Modaco has stated he doesn’t plan to release this ROM until he receives an unwatermarked version of it.
Hit the jump to see the details about Modacos ROM.
- If you rebuild the boot image replacing the kernel it runs. I’m running my own custom kernel with himem and bits.
- The system.img doesn’t fit on the N1 (!), it’s nearly 200MB. I booted by moving some stuff off the system partition.
- The trackball works.
- The 4 bottom keys work.
- The proximity sensor works.
- The LED works.
- The light sensor works.
- The compass and G sensor work.
- The camera works fine and is great with face recognition and touch focus.
- The FM radio loads, but makes no sound / finds no stations it seems. Maybe we need Desire radio ROM?
- The build I have is watermarked – i’ve removed the obvious visual watermarks but no, you can’t have this release – when I get a watermark free drop, yes!
- Flash 10.1 is included and works well.
- It’s FAST!
- WiFi works
- Bluetooth works
- 800×480 video recording, camera maxes out at 3MP (fixed in later builds)
More to follow!

this sounds exciting
nerdgasm
Oooo and I was starting to think I made a bad choice by getting the Hero seeing as how htc is coming out with all these new phones, looks like things are just getting started with all the goodness to come in the near future.
p.s.-i love this forum and all the smart people who know what the hell theyre doing
Or at least a good part of the answer, LOL
I have to date been unable to find any build that sports the magical combination of "Sense HD" and a working camera (on any sort) for the HD2.
Once you try Sense HD, it's really painful to go back. Kind of like having Windows 7 Ultimate, and then going back to some basic version without any of the Media Center stuff....
I realize the camera fix must be a real toughie, but still, I am surprised one of the mega-geniuses on XDA have not resolved it. The only builds I even knew of with Sense HD for HD2 were the Froyostone HD (Discontinued) and the 2 Mdeejay builds (Desire HD and Desire Z) He seems to have dropped Desire Z for some reason (too similar to Desire HD, perhaps?)
Not only does it (Sense HD, if that's even the correct term for this newest of Sense builds for Android) provide a live connection to a free account on: htcsense.com - which, in turn give you things like Scenes, Themes & Wallpaper, as well as free Phone Finder & Data Wipe services, it ALSO monitors what apps you install (if you choose this, it's optional) and.. check it:
If you start with a clean install (New data store) it goes ahead and INSTALLS all the apps you had on your phone when you last connected. This blew me away! Here I was, groaning about how many apps I was going to have to chase down, when all of a sudden I take a look and, HEY! They are all here (most anyway), a few were still installing. Sweeeet!
Really, this is ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR! Oh, what the heck: Santa, I have been good, can you conjure up a nice stable, fully functioning WP7 for me too? Thanks! (The cookies & milk will be ready 7 waitin' for ya!)
Why would you waste a wish on WP7???
IMNSHO WM6.6.5 is FAAAAR better than WP7
But yes, it is hard to go back to sense < sense HD.
Even locations with free route66 map is amazing - not sure if it's on bravo builds.
Does anyone know if the EVO builds have as good a sense as the desireHD???
True, a good HD2 desireHD port would be great. And they just released the DesireHD kernel, so I think we are getting really close to it
But all the hopes and wishes aside, why put this in the Android Development ? Maybe General would be a better place.
why is this topic in the development forum?
I liked the story xD. Nice OP, but isn't there alreddy Sense HD with working Cam?!
I thought i saw it somewhere, anyway whats the differents between Froyo and so on with sense HD?!
Noticed now that i was on Adroid Development xD, indeed OP you had to post this in discussion tread. (too many tabs open)
more pointless spam. we know everyone wants camera, but posting in the wrong forum isnt going to help it happen any faster. go buy an iphone.

still doesnt mean it belongs in development section. does this have an attachment for the fixed camera? NO? then DO NOT POST HERE. go to general, or Q&A. the devs already know how important the camera is, and dont you think they are working on it?
we arent paying them a wage for this, they do this because they like to.
so go to another forum or buy an iphone and go away.
Ok so here goes i'm thinking of working on a NAND ROM based on 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) Build: GRH78 FOR THE HTC HD2...but guess what...... i'm gonna try and throw HTC SENSE into the mix and see if i can get them to play nicely together....since this could take some time i just wanted to know if anyone is interested at all???? Just Post and ask if your interested......this ROM is going to based off ofMDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.3 with MDJ's Kernel: MDJ S10.3 OC (or whatever new Kernal MDJ releases between now and when i get this rom complete) and the Desire HD Sense including the Sense Camera...(THESE ARE MY GOALS FOR THIS ROM)I Will Be Posting Frequently Since I Will Need Testers to find all the little bugs that i miss....
( I WILL ONLY POST ROMS THAT I THINK ARE SAFE...BUT THERE IS THE CHANCE THAT IT STILL CAN BE BRICKED SO BY FLASHING MY ROM YOU KNOW THAT YOUR VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE )
EDIT: Im Gonna Try My Hardest to have a Version posted so everyone can play with it by 01/15/2011 - 01/16/2011....
EDIT: I just sent a message to cortulla....mainly if he has any tips or tricks that might help out with this build....01/14/2011
EDIT: Ok I'm sorry for not posting for so long i haven't forgot about you guys...i'm still working on this rom..its harder than anticipated...plus having the free time to do it gets tricky...work is having mandatory overtime since the iphone is being released on verizon...(SCARED MUCH AT&T????)..SO JUST WANTED TO UPDATE AND SAY I DIDN'T DITCH THIS PROJECT.......02/03/2011
Thanks Everyone and remember we couldn't do any of this if it wasn't for Google, Cyanogen, Cotulla & (DFT), MDJ, Markinus, gauner1986, danij3l, gpc, LeTama, Rajko and others...and if i forgot to mention you im sorry just yell at me and i'll be sure to add you to the list =-)....

that would be great if gingerbread will have sense

WTH, why not
We are always looking for something new to put in our phones
Good luck and count me in...

Also very interested...
And I'd like to be a beta tester.
Totally interested in this. Gingerbread has come along a great length in the last copuple of days. Latest stock release dated the 14th shows working lights and usb! Would be awsome to have sense built on top!
Please work on it man
Good luck. It's almost impossible; most of sense is dependant on the HTC framework and most libraries, which are in turn interdependent with the android version they run on (2.2). You pretty much have to replace the whole build with 2.2, which, in effect, makes the build a 2.2.
It would be easier to add to 2.2 the keyboard and animations from Gingerbread, along with the launcher. It's close, but it's not really 2.3 either.
Good luck anyway.
for me it's enough to have the desire hd cam on gingerbread. will it ever be possible to provide only the hd cam tool?

It's hardly possible to get sense rosie.apk (the launcher) working on stock android... (afaik nobody has done it to date)
plus I bet its impossible to do it on a different android version.
Yet I would be interested.

Why?
Use Camera 360 or a similar app. They do the same (may look worse but who cares?)
(maybe no facial recognition - yet do you really need that?)
it seems to me that Gingerbread mostly enhanced aosp anyways, it tweaked the UI and didn't really have that many enhancements.
If you could just port the Gingerbread keyboard, icon set, Nexus S LWPs, and the screen-off animation to a Sense build then you basically have it.
(may look worse but who cares?)

yep, and that's exactly what i want: a good looking camera app. technically i'm satisfied with the gingerbread cam, but it looks awful in compare to hd cam app...
I'm dreaming of it !!!
Bring it on!
I'd love to give sense a try on Gingerbread!
2.2 Sense ?
Sense HD would be cool but I imagine more work
I'll look forward to it !
+1 Beta Tester
sure man it will be revolutionary start .... good luck ...
Absolutely impossible. You need a HTC leaked ruu I tell you that. Unless you are a fremework wiz. If you are, 10-90 chance. Good luck. You may make history with it.

Yes, the X10 will be getting official Gingerbread in end Q2-Beginning Q3. I would actually go with one of the froyo roms for now, and wait for new 2.3 rom releases after the SE gingerbread update. just my 2c LOL.
What would be best for you? "Best" is a very subjective concept and different people will point you towards their own preferences. What is a fact is that several Froyo custom ROM's have everything working, while Gingerbread ones still aren't 100% - mainly the camera isn't working.
My own preferences are the FreeX10/Beta4 by zdzihu and Wolfbreak's Xperia TW 006. If you like MIUI you can try Trip's MIUI Froyo, but I haven't tried it myself since I don't really like the interface.
I suggest you try these 100% working ROM's and see what like about each one and to get yourself comfortable with the rooting/flashing/updating/messing up/trying again/etc. process. Once there you might want to try playing with the other ROM's and custom kernels around.
Have fun!

+1. Would just wait for the official 2.3. Most of the custom 2.3s are missing functionality.
2.2 is your best bet.

I have this phone back in my hands yet again, got my mum a new phone since she hates Android. I may or may not decide to continue this series, I probably will since I'm going to start doing so on the Moto G. If there is anyone left with this phone at all that would like to see a ROM review or a ROM in action, leave a reply on the thread and I'll see what I can do. Happy watching!
-Nov. 7 2015 update-
What I'm going to do instead of like my previous recordings, I'm going to flash a ROM and use it for one week with casual use, then try and upload it the following Sunday/Monday. It might not be on a weekly basis, but I will post whenever I have a new video up. I also don't know how much I will use it on a daily basis since it's not my primary phone, but I will try to do light web browsing, occasional light gaming, and social media while also tweaking some settings and customizing it depending on the features of the rom.

Great idea. Once I get a few more uploaded then I'll break up the original post into those subcategories. Hell, I take that back. I'll do it now since I have some spare time
This week's is gonna be a day late, my apologies
*Edit*
So my camera decided that it hates life, so I sadly have to skip this week's. I'll hopefully get it's problem worked out or switch over to my old external webcam
Finally found my camera charger, new upload for this week, it's a day early because I'll be busy all day tomorrow. G2 Slim v1.6 is this week's, CyanKat or Andromadus CM11 is going to be next week's.

I loved Slim's roms. I've tested some on the SGS and we had only one once on the Vision but it was good!
Would love to have SlimKat on Vision... Omni ROM look promising too but the promises of the new cyankat are impressive!
Because I am testing out demkantor's build of TWRP recovery, I will not have a video up just yet because of a bug I stumbled upon. I will however turn this from a Friday-only, I guess mini-series is the best way to explain it, into probably twice a week or so. I'll have either CyanKat or Flinny's CM11 up around Monday/Tuesday.
*Edit*
Since the person behind CyanKat is working on an update, I'm gonna postpone my video for that and focus on some other Sense and MIUI roms until it's updated. Once it is, I'll get a video on it up for you guys.
Aw come on, there's plenty of ROMs that work with my 90% working twrp, there's always my 90% working cyanmobile ROM
Keep up the good work, twice a week sounds better than one time!

New vid up, slightly longer than usual cuz I went on a rant about a few things. xD It's CoolOS's GB MIUIv3, I decided to do a MIUI build since I kept saying I'd do one but never got around to it. enjoy.
One thing I'm now going to do for you guys and gals out there is write a full review on each rom that I have done a video on, so you can get a more in-depth opinion and overview of the rom.. The first one is up in the first post, it's CoolOS's Sensei rom. Happy reading!
hope to see some new videos soon!
PS, added your great work above the ROM list FOUND HERE
Written review for G2Slim is live. New video(s) planned for the upcoming days.
New video coming up today/tomorrow after I get some rest since I just got off night shift. So, yeah. xD
I might revive this since I've been contemplating doing it with the Moto G as well, I edited the first post. Why not do both in case there are people out there still with the phone?

I'm not too sure what's out there that's specifically 2.3.4, but there are several 2.3.3 ROMs. Are you mainly after camera features, customization, speed, or all of the above?
