Voice recognition - Desire HD General

I know theres a new voice recognition on Jellybean thats supposed to be much better and more fluid. I havent noticed any improvement in the phone recognition on my phone which is running gingerbread. So does that mean that unless we update to jellybean we will have the bad voice recognition? is there anyway to get the updated one on gingerbread?

There are jellybean roms in development wich are gettin more stable at the time of writing. Mabye you could flash one now or when they get more stable? As for getting it on gingerbread I don't know if any dev can port it.

AOSP 1.6 or higher with camera?

Can anyone port AOSP 1.6 or higher to our heros with working camera, mms, and sms? I would be willing to donate

At the top of the Hero CDMA page is a tab that says sticky ROMS. That is where we hide all the ROMs for the hero.
1.6, everything works except BT and camcorder. You may have to use handcent for sms/mms (or it may not work for you at all, but you will never know until you try):

I thought about tryin to throw n toast n flipz new kernel into a 1.6 Rom I'm hoping good things happen
Keep us updated on the progress! I loved the AOSP ROMS, just didn't love the lack of certain functionality (Camera).
So, now that I hear the camera is working, I'm going to try one or two out!
The new kernel doesn't support camera on 2.1 not sure about 1.6
Tried the 1.6 rom. SMS didnt work so fail on that. I love darchdroid v1 but i really need camera. I really had my hopes up with the official darchdroid v2 coming out. I could care less about over clocking. Darchdroid v1 was faster than any other rom without oc so no point in putting my hardware at risk. I just hate going back to sense UI. I like basic Android. I also see that the GSM Hero and even the g1 have full functioning eclair roms. I'm sure our time will come soon enough
I'm afraid we won't get a really solid AOSP for 2.1 until HTC releases the 2.1 source for the hero.

Senseless roms really arent... are they

So, coming from a string of G1's and a Nexus, I cannot stand SenseUi. At ALL. I can live with the widgets and launcher- they are actually tolerable- what I cant accept are the keyboard, the way contacts are brought up, the lack of cut/paste in several areas, and all the frilly crud that goes along with it. I seek a TRUE vanilla rom, based on Android components not HTC. People constantly recommend using advanced launcher or one similar, but these are just launchers- they dont change the stuff back to stock that I seek. So my question is, can there ever be a REAL vanilla rom that has none of the Sense components? Is it possible to de-theme these areas in similar fashion to how the current de-sensing works, or would it require that HTC releases a vanilla version (which they never will). I guess I am asking, am I fighting a loosing battle?
You are coming from an N1 and asking this question?
Really?
Cyanogenmod ring a bell?
i was in the same boat as you. i am on cyanogen now, however there are a few issues with this port. on the nexus i didn't ever have any issues with cm6 but on the incredible you have to install another kernel after you install cm6 so that the camera will work, the camcorder just doesn't work yet, and when i have wifi on i get a reboot about once a day. i live with it because like you i hate sense ui but i wish they would have released a n1 for verizon. they did just release the source code for 2.6.32 which is froyo today, so the code shoulod be added into the nightlies of cm6 shortly.
It's been said that the latest radio fixes many (if not all) of those problems in Cyanogen on DInc. I can't attest to this being true or not, but some people were talking about it last night in the "Unrevoked - Forever" thread in the dev section.
cool! so there is hope. I figured the CM rom would be truly vanilla, but since it had so many little oddities I haven't given it a go yet. Good to know there is the possibility. Thanks guys

The new .32 kernel source that was just released will also allow koush to finish CM6 for the incredible. Basically now that this new kernel is out the bluetooth stack and everything else including the camcorder not working in CM6 will all work once implemented.
Even though the bluetooth works perfect in CM6 unlike normal senseui roms. /letting out BT steam
...
I wonder when this will be ready?

[Q] Ginger-Sense---Anyone Interested

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
ive loved to run it on my hd2
Count me in as beta tester...

That is so funny, I have been searching yesterday for something like this .
Count me in.
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?

+1.
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 !

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.

[Q] Why upgrade to 2.3??

Call me naive, but why would I upgrade to the official 2.3 realise from one of the gingerbread based roms (CM7 / oxygen / MIUI)??
Are there performance gains to be had??
I'm struggling to understand the motivation to upgrade, please enlighten me.
Thanks.

You shouldn't yet. What i have heared, it has better camera, wifi and touchscreen. But i don't think it's worth it.
If you can't stand using the 2.2.x version then you could upgrade to the official or an unofficial 2.3.x. Since you are in this forum you probably want the latest and greatest
In my case I upgraded to the official (I didn't try to root it yet). In my opinion it works fine, no issues with wifi at work or at home. The camera is better as mentioned by other members (it could be a placebo), and it feels more responsive (could also be a placebo). Some minor issues have been fixed/improved. I'm not much of a gamer but I've read that 3D performance is also improved.
The bad things are that they replaced the default launcher/music/lockscreen etc with their own, you can use something from the market but I'd prefer the AOSP ones to be included in the ROM (I want the CRT lockscreen effect!!!), I also couldn't make the equalizer to work which is strange but maybe it's a beta thing...
Also there are no Greek letters on the contact list (the vertical alphabet) and the SMS app supports 70 chars in Greek and not 160 (using the same IME that supported 160 in Froyo). These could be Gingerbread issues and not Huawei specific though but if you use a non-latin alphabet...
I don't plan to downgrade (it can be done as I've read), I don't have random reboots, crashes or other annoyances but I didn't have any on Froyo either.
You should always want to upgrade (the motivation is better performance, more features and a better user experience). Apart from from the Huawei custom stuff you could read some of the many Froyo vs Gingerbread etc articles in order to understand what to expect from an upgrade and decide if you need it (to either a custom or the official beta ROM)
I hope I helped...
Right. Think I'll stick will miui and hope someone can make a rom with the improvements from the official release

Nexus S & ICS 4.0.3 - What do you think of it ?

Beeing using the Nexus s I9020T with ICS for a while now, tought i share what i think of them working together. this is not a technical review with scores and such so please don't expect such information here. in fact i'm not going to mention any of the developers, kernel or ROM names here.
Background
Had Nexus one, when the Nexus S arrived i sold it and bought the NS.
I really liked the N1 and it was not easy to let it go, i liked how it felt in my hand and it was a good device... anyway... i tried many roms (almost any ROM and Kernel that were available at that time) with the N1, and then with the NS. these two devices had almost any ROM flashed to them day and night.
Almost there
at the beginning there was no official ICS rom for the NS nor even a full SDK source
but some PORTS where around so i had to try them out.
liked the way it looks but that's it. no stability, many bugs. not for daily use... not even for a night use. going from one build to another didn't make any difference. for example: none of the PORTS managed to activate the Bluetooth device. there was a missing driver (binary) and none of the developers managed to overcome the problem.
ICS SDK
At first a full SDK was released. Builds were a bit better but not enough.
still couldn't use it every day and always had to go back to 2.3.7
at this point i thought: "well i guess i'l have to wait for google to release an official OTA update and then i'll see some real action right ?"
well that was not just a thought but more like logic with a bit of knowing how google usually works. i thought that when google will release an official version for the NS it will probably run smoother because it will have hardware acceleration and google will put a new kernel, and they will make sure it runs well
ICS OTA
"What a great day" i stupidly thought to myself. "finally a new version for my device" i was so stupidly proud (like i made this phone or something) anyway...
i just went from smiling to almost crying ... "Thats it ?" i yelled at it (my NS) "Is that all you got ? What is going on here ? is this for real ? it can't be ... the update.zip file must be fake ! (didn't really think it was a fake...) it can't be it ? this is it ? this is ICS ? slow,unresponsive,slow,and slow ? that's all there is ? and in addition to that it was very very slow...
"ICS Roms"
Used all custom ICS roms available and any tweaked kernel that i found. yet,
still too slow for me...
my current Rom and kernel are the fastest i could find and don't get me wrong it is stable,no bugs and i use it daily. but after using gingerbread for so long, i guess i got use to the speed too much, after using it for a week, i'm starting to get use to it i can't say that it is great for me now... but i'm not giving up !
Calling All Devs
Hopefully we will start seeing some tweaked kernel and optimized custom roms soon. for now my NS will rest ... just for now...
