Hello xda-ers!
I have been stalking around, tasting everybody's cooking for a couple of weeks now, and i have got to get something off my chest.
I did search, I do realize that what I am looking for can not be made and that its no one's fault (I might be giving htc a meaningful look right now).
I like a whole lot of roms and chefs here, I really do, but the rom I'm after seems to not exist - one of two options:
1. A hero rom with all the eyecandy, that's donut based for compatibility with newer apps like goggles and the like.
2. An Eclair rom that has video and youtube working.
And so I would like to ask of you wizzies, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are things comming around? How do you see it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, hardware-ish the mytouch is 36 MB of ram shorter then a hero and a has a lesser camera, but its not like the hero is running its os on its last bits of ram or anything so basically what the hero can do the mytouch can do, no? Is it safe to assume that when the hero\magic gets an update (and I do hope that it does) someone could pull over some driver support for eclair or something?
Thank you all so much for all your hard work, you guys are the reason I love smartphones so much, I'm dirt poor but i promise I'll buy you guys a round of beer once I get out of college
Its a matter of time bro. Be batient. A month ago, none of the eclair roms had camera. Now they all do. A month before that none of the eclair roms had N1 voice keyboard. Now they all do. God knows what some of these amazing roms will have and do a month from now. [/good deed for the year]
Love the FAQ sig lol

1. The devs aren't the ones making the actual hero, they just make hero work with our phones. They can't just say "I want you to be donut", and it be donut. Htc decided to skip donut, and the devs can't do much about that. They can however give you 2.0 hero which is scattered about the forum.
2. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You know, the thing that appears in almost every first post for this problem

As I've said, I realize that.
My point is that apperently you can't cook rosie\sense\whatever onto a 1.6 rom without htc (Ref: "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look") and at the same time you can cook it onto a 2.0 rom - which means broken video drivers.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and this is not a rant, just needed to let steam out I guess.

"if" you had searched you could have found answers to both of your questions... and maybe posted in the correct section.
maybe that "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look" should be turned into "i actually searched and posted in the Q&A section or the I didn't read before posting..."
No offence but seriously if you would have searched you would have found those 2 answers in almost every thread that had to do with hero or eclair...

I think someone leaked an HTC branded Eclair ROM with the "rosie/sense/whatever," and that's why you see it cooked into a 2.0 ROM.

Well back on topic/kinda...
Do we know for sure that htc will release the necessary drivers for video playback/camera? It sounds like some people are positive we'll get them eventually...I switched back to donut because I like being able to watch youtube, but its amazing how far along eclair roms have come, and mad props to NCommander for reverse engineering the camera drivers. Without him we'd still have no camera at this point. But I was just wondering if its confirmed or not that we will indeed get those drivers from htc one day.
Well, T-Mobile is teasing us with an Eclair update for our phones. We shall see.
What I would REALLY like is a ROM that is smooth and as responsive and the one on the iPhone. Doesn't need fancy apps, just the basic things like Messaging, Phone, Browser, camera/camcorder, apps of course. Anyone else think the same? It's what I have been looking for , for a long time

after searching couldnt find any relevant literature on this...im basically trying to create my own build off of someone elses rom to suite my needs...dont worry im not going to be releaseing or anything...but i i wanna know all the AOSP stuff (music dialer mms)apks i can replace with the htc counter parts to make the truest aosp rom i can with least amount of htc stuff possible.......thanks for anyone who can possibly help me out on this one

thanks i was kind of looking something for a sprint based rom just to be safe...i basically wanna take out as much htc stuff out that will permit and replace it all with aosp theres a couple people who have done this but didnt fully "AOSP-IZE" it thanks tho appreciate the link
Because if you read,
AOSP-IZING the sprint rom caused it not to have a camera, and all of the experienced devs gave up, because it really wasn't possible......
But good luck..

Not that IM that experienced, but i know a bit about compiling and *nix. I am attempting to build it, its not going to be ready any time soon. Important things right now are touch screen dont work, cam etc.
I really dont care at this point if aosp means I have to downgrade camera to 3MP then so be it. Not all of us have given up... Some are just taking breaks, and some are waiting for htc to release the source after the timeframe is up for the 2.1 official rollouts.
So dont get your hopes up from me, I am just saying dont give up and there are quite a few of us out there that want the aosp love.

And i am patiently (jk) waiting darch... )
No I fully understand the situation between camera And touch screen I basicslly wanted to know what htc stuff wasn't necessary to just run But I actually figured most of it out...... mods mos Def Can delete this thread .........But I def cannot wait for yourr release

No, it's capable of taking some great pictures, in the right conditions and use...can you give some more details on what you're trying to take pictures of, etc? And please clarify exactly what you mean by "the picture is garbage"
Some tips:
-make sure the lens cover is clean, every time before you take pics...it doesn't take very much crud or finger grease on there to distort your images
-hold the phone as still as possible when shooting, the HD2 doesn't have a lot of instability tolerance
-lighting is crucial, you may have to make adjustments in the environment when taking indoor shots
-go into the settings on the camera (the little gear icon that appears when you hit the tab below the shutter button), and then choose "advanced". On page one is the resolution setting, and on page two is the quality setting...make sure both of those aren't set too low.
also, learning how to spell really helps...if you cant, people on here are less inclined to answer you. just a heads up

Really man...? We have people here from all different countries. Spelling is probably the least of our worries. Now noobs coming in asking about Android on HD2, probably more of an issue to call someone out on.

I can attest to this one: Couple of finger smudges and all of the sudden your once-sharp pics get blurry. A quick wipe with the inside of a cotton shirt is all I do.

You missed one key word... PEOPLE from different countries. Not the phone lol. He could be from another country of origin; meaning his spelling of words in the English dictionary might not be perfect.
Maybe he just failed English for all I know. Point is, theres far more constructive things to do on this forum than faulting other members for spelling a word wrong
lol thanks people for the reply, and it was funny also , anyway i like the phone when i got it n the new roms that u can flash are great but i think im giving up on this phone plus not a lot of good apps, what i really like was the size of the screen, movies are great on it ,n big plus that it was a windows phone n no im not an iphone fan . This phone has a lot of potential . Any one know of a better phone for Tmobile?

Samsung vibrant is pretty awesome. I played with one yesterday. If you dont like the apps on the hd2 that pretty much limits you to android.
i would love to put android on my phone but i dont think is running all that great yet right ? or m i wrong , i think its to soon for me to do that flsh n i only started flashing not to long ago so far i tryed kumar , cell evo and another i cant rember i stayed with the kumar runs great.

since iphone got android ported to it, is there anyway to port iphone OS to htc hd2 or any phone?
thx
It will be cool if we are able to get IOS running in the HD2 , And then a Trible boot loader , HD2 is gonna be a real monster that runs all WinMo , Android , IOS

HD2 would truly be the best phone avaluable with a triple boot loader with IOS and android.
so we have the HD2 running Winmo, Ubuntu, Android, IOS, win95 and 98. I can't wait to get OSX on it too

About the question though, Im not sure if it would be possible.

And I think allot of HD2 users feel the same.
So even if it was possible, not many people want it....

Hey guys!
I'm tired, .... tired of waiting for an ICS port / Offical Update to ICS for my phone!
I've waited and hoped that anyone would do anything, ... but nothing happened. And it don't seems if anything will happen.
Now the better News.
I decided to do the work!!! After the "§$%&/()=* Christmas i gonna start. I waited and hoped that someone other does the main work (bootable ICS on i9001), on which I can continue but %&*§ .... noone wanted
So it will be me, doing the stuff. I know its damn much to do, ... but who cares, I gonna do that!!! But U don't need to ask me every day if it works. I think I need 2-3 weeks to have a bootable ROM.
peace out

im sure someone is willing to help. heck, if i know those coding stuff i would not mind to help out. anyway thanks in advance for doing it
No-one hasn't been able to do it since there isn't roms for samsung phones. Only on Nexus or so. Sgs2 will get it later next year.
IF samsung is gonna give sgs+ user's ics it will take time.
Sony put out beta version out but it's mainly to see how it's looking & for developers and therefore not working (no calls, no sms, no wifi...).
Good luck with your project.
