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.
I'm a great fan of cyanogenmod and all that's related. I'm even a great fan of my Legend which seems to be forgotten or swept under the carpet...
I've just tried hopfully to try and get Flash to work until I found on this forum that that would'nt work because the last version of Flash requires newer hardware.
Now it seems that YouTube doesn't work anymore (read: I can't install it from the app market)?
I'm really upset by this, not that I'm a YouTube addict, but I used it now and then to look at movie trailers etc.
So I allready tried to install an APK from somewhere on this forum, but that crashes on me.
I currently run the Cyanogenmod Mod 7 nighty build 24.
Hey XDA, this is Ognimnella! Or soon, BFG SgtRecon (Xbox Live, OpenFeint, and Gameloft Live name) an I am presenting MytouchSensation v1.0 . I want to make my own rom because I know what I and many others would want in a rom! I hav spent time looking over the forums and the internet, watching what ppl hav been asking about. Just to name a few, this will include
1. 3D Gallery
2. Google Music Player
3. Netflix (compatibility check disabled)
4. Theme Chooser
5. "Window" Marketplace*
That's just a few, more are coming as I begin building! Not that I put a star by window marketplace. Basically, there is a them iin theme chooser that gives a 3d like UI, and when you open the marketplace, your background is visible still, so if you have a beautiful LWP that you dread not being able to look at when you open the marketplace, never again.
- All I need is support on this one, just be on the lookout. I was so excited that I couldn't hold the news! To contact me

If you would like to be a part of this project then PM ME!!! Do not email because PM-ing me will get to me quicker as I am ALWAYS checking this app/website. My email is more of a "Once-in-a-blue-moon" kinda thing. Okay, thank you all in advance
p.s. Also, should I include the modified HVGA compatible Asphalt 5 app in the Rom or would that just be bloatware for you guys that you can install yourselves, feedback is appreciated!
Phone: Mytouch 3G Slide
Rom: CM 7.0.3
Rooted: Yes
S-Off: No
Best Market App: XDA
Best Game: Asphalt 5 HD (HVGA)
Best Non-Market App: ALL OF 'EM!
Unless your aim is to have an Asphalt theme, I would pass on including the game in the rom. It would definitely be bloatware for many people out there, as cool as it is to play the game on our little mytouch that could. Best of luck!
Hi,
I still have the original Galaxy tab 3g, on official Gingerbread.
I have never rooted or rommed before, but like the look of some of the results I see on xda.
Now one of the best things about my tab (which still makes it just about the best tab still) is the full iplayer function it has. Not using the app, but using the stock browser I can download shows directly to the tab... Also using Dolphin hd (desktop mode) I can download better quality versions... The tab then gets the licencse and I can watch the shows on the go without data/wifi connection.
Q...My question (for uk users) is would rooting and changing roms take away this function ?... (I know to avoid jellybean roms as the bowser iplayer needs flash).
Any UK users flashed rooms still able to use iplayer in this way on the original tab ?
Thanks
Yes.
No problem here Accudroid custom Rom.

Hey guys and girls,
Firstly, 2 apologies. 1. I am new the scene and apologise for my limited knowledge and ignorance. 2. i tried posting this in a different part of the forum and wasnt allowed.
I have a HTC HD2 and have been running Jellybean 4.2..... The ROM itself is great, however the phone is too slow and far too laggy for my needs.
I use social networking and text apps more than anything else and the transition from one app to another and the time it takes to refresh an app such as facebook is crazy. Not to mention the battery life is shocking.
I know there are several Rom's available and i just tried installing (succesfully) ICS on a Native basis, only to realise, i cant install apps directly to the SD card, so that throws that option out of the bag... which is a shame because it appears a lot faster than JB.
Can i have some input here please? I can search all day long but if i dont understand half of what i read, it seems pointless.
Many thanks in advance.
Wayne
There is no best ROM that will suit you. I suggest flashing a few different ROMs (some ICS, some JB, maybe even a GB ROM) and figuring out which one's best for you.
