Just waiting for my HD2 to arrive and trying to look up the best sense rom. Preferably want Gingerbread!
However after looking it seems nearly all roms maybe even the froyo ones suffer from the same two issues. Camcorder lags and graphic glitches. I appreciate that this device was never meant to run android but I would like to find the most solid sense rom I can.
Oh and do all roms suffer from green tint when using flash too?
Ephumuris
froyo sense roms has no problem. you can use rafdroid,cmylxgo hd,or frankinstine hd or imilka hd roms.
OK I will use one of them as my stable rom then. However I know I can't resist trying a pyramid rom. Camcorder issue I may be way behind but I wonder if it is to do with media profiles xml? Maybe we can use Froyo camera app and set to use old libs? I guess I'll have a go myself once my HD2 arrives!
Thanks for the quick reply!
Ephumuris
Yes glitches I can live with but the camcorder I really need...
How bad are these glitches? There has got to be a way to fix camcorder eventually!
Ephumuris
in newer versions the glitches have lessened. but camcorder really lagges,just because of that i left sense-3 and went to froyo again.in addition to these power button doesn't work but there are workarounds for this.but you can try them just as i did and you can decide whether you can live with them

I already know I can live without power button that's fine for me. A widget will do. Camcorder I would like to try and fix due to me having a little girl I like to video her when i can!
Is it any better with external apps like LG Camera?

Well, I've read somewhere in a Sense3-Rom's Thread that the camcorder doesn't lag when set to a less quality.
And if I were to use a sense 3 Rom, I'd give up the Cam and Camcorder, and use a "graphics fix" (which kills camera) and a "Power" fix.
So I'd come up with a ROM that only misses the Camera, which is fine to me.
Well, after a while glithes gone (not by themself but due to efforts of developers of course ), but camcorder still lags. I think there are lots of HD2 users dreaming about camcorder without lags as a New Year gift from Santa (again not wihout devs help).

Its me again .
Here is a link to the only Ginger rom with Sense with camcorder without lags.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197751
May be developers take a look into it and port the camcorder to other ginger roms or use some parts for the fixing of lags.
Is that possible?
YES!
I am also waiting for no lag camcorder ROM.

Is this safe? I don't trust builds unless they're released by someone on here....
Whats with the android.cab? What do you do with that and whats it for?

I believe the android.cab is like an autoboot from winmo (I personally didn't install it) for those that may not have one. As for the rest of the rom, well I understand your caution, but as with anything, no one is forcing you to install it. There is an inherent risk with ANY rom on this forum. Using caution is wise, so what I did is I compared the files to other roms I have used and saw that they matched up, I have installed it (with the attached 2gb image), it's running now, you have to select the English language, unless you understand either of the other 2 Chinese languages available. From there the setup was the same as the other HD roms. Testing it now, will report results later. So far so good...
Hi, have you asked about GPC before posting this?
OMG the camera quality compared to all other builds i used before is AMAZING !
After turning off the handwriting in options i think it is my new daily Android.
And the camcorder seems to record in 720p but we are not able to playback...
great build..but data icon dont animate..

I concure about to put it through its passes. i decided to test this build just for the 720P recording...wanted to see if it was indeed working. and for sure it is. as well the cam pic quality is very good. have not tested sound quality as of yet. waiting for the build to do a full update from the market before i start really testing it out...first impressions are good...will report back later today after more use.
Just tried this build and it's looking VERY promising. i tried the other Desire HD build with the camera fix but the camcorder still wasn't working on it and for some reason every time i tried to get into the market it would force close. as for the android cab..yeah,i wasn't sure what that was so i just thru it into the android folder along with the media folder.i tried the camcorder and it's working.it also played back my video. i know some were sayn that they didn't have playback on their camcorder. i may not go back to any other android build. i think i found my holly grail of android builds !
Just to clarify, this can record at 1280x720 but can't play it back?
ok i had my X8 about a month ago and since then i tried every ROM that's out there literally. Recently i settled to froyobread for about 10 days and now floyo 0.25
my problem in both is the cam after taking a few shots, the camera screen black out or the cam button dies on me and i really hate it
i take a lot of pictures and i just hate it when the prefect shot gets lost because of a stupid glitch. i can give away EdgeGlow if there is a ROM that has a fully working cam with no bugs.
the reason for the thread is to ask u X8 users instead of going all over the ROMs again ( i still have them all ) to see the stable cam, Could anyone tell me what's the best ROM to take pictures with?? and please don't tell me to go back to Eclair (2.1)
thank u all

like i said i tried all the ROMs but then i wasn't testing all the things but i remember ditching minicm because the power gadget looked like it lacked some colors or scaled up. i guess it's because of the screen size difference between X8 and X10 mini. however i remember the beautiful animations especially for boxes popping up.
just plz confirm that i can take like 10 shots in succession (say with 1 sec delay) without the cam bugging on me
Forget the stock camera apps and use Camera Illusion.
It´s better, doesn´t have errors and has great effects, like negative and that stuff.
I do experienced the same thing..
try other alternative. I'm using Camera Advance Lite, it works perfect.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite
This is the same thing which happens with me. I tried using alternative camera apps like vignette but still the same problem.
After some shots, the camera just blacks out and you cannot take any pics after that until a reboot is made.

i'm having the very same problem after few shots is taken the camera just blacks out and the cam app needs to be restarted to make the camera work again and this problem was in every single custom rom i ever tried including the minicm and the froyobread i'm surprised that some of you actually DOESN'T experience this problem......

enough is enough
its starting to get really annoying seeing people constantly asking
about when the gfx glitches will be fixed ,even though 2 or 3 posts
above theres someone has already said when they will be fixed
i can probably count 30 or more posts in differnt threads in the last 12
hours asking that same question
so here it is in a nut shell and read it really slow
the gfx glitches on GB Sense roms will be fixed when HTC releases the Kernel Source Code, untill that happens we will have those small glitches
so please out of common courtesy for the Devs of the sense roms
stop asking when the gfx glitches will be fixed every other post
Unfortunately I say let trolls roll. I just ignore moronic posts that have been asked before whenever I search the forums anyways

When you say "source code," do you mean the HTC Sense source code or the source code of the custom ROMs from which Sense was ported? Either way, it seems likely that it'll be a while before either will be released
EDIT: You edited it with more description. Thanks!
When the gfx glitches will be fixed?
it's bug not in videos drivers in the kernel, it's bug gralloc library
Does anyone know if these same issues are effecting any other phones?

What do the glitches actually look like? I have a Sense rom installed but a Froyo. So, not sure what they look like. Can you post a screen shot or direct me to a post that shows?
I rarely notice the glitches on the Sense 3 ROM I'm using. But I figure when a Sense 3 ROM is released that is closer to the HD2 in hardware specs...like HTC releasing a Sense 3 ROM for the Inspire 4G/DesireHD, the glitches and bugs will continue to be an issue. Although they are a monor issue in my current ROM.

I also didn't know what glitches where, but....
Yesterday I tried the Pyramid port from dungphp and there they where, the nasty little buggers!
As I don't have a screen-shot from any glitches I'll try to describe it for you.
Here we go...
They seem to appear when there's graphical activity (i think).
Like for instance in scrolling text (like in the app Quick System Info) and in the text under the scene (loading preview) in the scene picker in Sense 2.1 and 3.
So the glitches are mostly seen around and through text.
It's no more than little white lines completely running through your white text, making it hard(er) to read.
It's there, sometimes annoying, sometimes not.
For me it was one of the reasons not to stay on the Pyramid port or use any other GB Sense rom.
Luckily we have many roms to choose from here
Here you go mate, hope this clarifies it somewhat.
Thanks for the explanation. That helps out alot. I think I will just stay with Froyo. It's been working great for me so far.

Anyone?? touch to focus on quarx´s CM9, is there any way, I've tried some (many) camera apk's with no success.. I really really loved that feature........
btw **** off 720p recording I was seeking that buuut once I got it working... meehh the quality sucks.. I expected something more, buut I satisfied my geekiness.. now onto an important thing
TOUCH TO FOCUS!!!!
how??
bump bump recontrabump..... -.-
c'mon people can´t you even say it's not possible.. I mean then why are these boards up to... not even a single thing I've asked here has been nearly commented or responded to...
it seems like it's not currently possible on cm9, but i remember that cm7 didn't had it and it was added later (if i'm not wrong in cm7.1), so it could be added on cm9 later buillds...

What phone they demoing it on there ?
thanks for this! i'll test this out and tell how it compares to affinity for me once it finish downloading.
i've been running this for a few hours, and at this point its kinda laggy at 1.5 ghz. rosie redraws a lot. affinity is much faster imo. i'll let it "set in" for a day or two then report again. keep in mind though this is on a brand new G2, i literally unboxed it, rooted it, then flashed this. this rom has a lot of potential though. i haven't called anyone, but i think its suitable as a dd.

Depends on to what extent it isn't working. Unless Inifnity changes things, it hasn't been working for Sense 4.0 (And half-ass working on other ICS roms). But I think the hype of infinity on vision is that you can least take a picture even if the camera may be buggy. i.e.: big + for Sense ICS on Vision/G2/DZ (PS : Vision = DZ/G2 in case you didn't know).
Infinity seems to take photos fine. Even does continuous shots. Haven't tried camcorder.

Gona give it a try soon as the sucker is downloaded
I'm curious to what extent the camera behaves compared to some other roms I've tried (AOKP, Andromadus etc).
---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------
hrm, shame this rom doesn't enable adbd from the start, was wondering why I couldn't get a logcat on it's slow boot up. (i.e.: it'd be nice for relaying debugging information).
How can I overclock my device with this rom? It's a little bit laggy, but has lots of potential!! Thanks to the great developers!
The camera actually works better on infinity than it does on any non-Sense ICS rom I've used (for example on EliteMod ICS, if I were to use instagram, you can't even see an image in the camera screen, but it'll still take the picture albeit corrupted).
---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------
Yea while the rom itself seems pretty slow, the camera functionality is far better than any of the other ICS roms I've used, no problems with 3rd party camera applications either (instagram, pudding camera, etc).
Can anyone confirm with me is music player,wifi,sms and call working in infinity?
