Which ROM to use 720p camera mod on HTC Desire?

I'd like also wifi-N enabled. Thanks

for wifi n use defrost, for 720p its not possible right now on desire..

Lol I have to ask why people want this?
What are you going to be doing that requires 802.11n wifi? And why do you want 720p recording when it just makes it look worse? There is a reason why HTC haven't enabled it!

720p recording might not be useful to be watched in the phone itself, but if we transfer it to be seen in PC or media center it will look better than the current one.
Also imho, it's ok if people asking about this because afaik HTC put this in their pre spec, but remove it when the Desire launch, also they promised to give us the update for this.

Wireless N has benefits other than speed, you know. Greater range, for example. And better speeds at the same range is a side effect of this. So yeah, while G may be 54Mbps when you're sitting on top of the router, when you're a room or two away, that can drop quite considerably. Wifi N means you might actually get 30 or 40Mbps from a couple of rooms away.
Besides, some of us use VNCs and the like, extra bandwidth would sure as hell help there.
As for the 720p camera mod, an improvement is still an improvement. Unfortunately, there is no 720p Camera mod for the Desire yet. The nexus one mod is still somewhat experimental and is NOT transferable to the Desire in any way yet. Once the Nexus One mod becomes a bit more mature, the author behind it has promised that he'll look into Froyo and Desire support.

Anyone interested in helping port Sense to the MI-One?

Howdy All!
You probably don't know, but I am (or was until recently) the dev over at MIUI_Au. About a month ago, MIUI shipped out engineering samples of their MI-One device. All the 'third party' translation effort leaders (except, sadly, our own XJ), including me, received a unit (as well as another 500 lucky Chinese users who had to 'win' one).
So I am in possession of an MI-One, which comes with MIUI as standard (obviously).
The world of Android (and indeed XDA as a whole) wouldn't be what it is unless people had ambition.
MIUI will release the M1 eventually, and it will be priced at around half that of the Evo3D ($350 USD).
What follows seems only logical, then.
I know nothing about porting, by the way. So...the main question: Is anyone game enough to help (or rather me help anyone) with getting a head start on a port?
Cheers,
Josh.

Hi Josh,
At first I thought that Sense can be ported to the Galaxy S for example and coming from a Windows mobile device world to Android this didn't seem impossible. Unfortunately some DEVs tried it but No BT, WiFi etc. It is really hard to port Sense to non-HTC devices because of hardware compatibility issue and the lack of drivers. Hell, it's hard to port from Desire HD to Desire.... That's why at that time I bought the Desire and not the Galaxy S. Sense makes Android complete and after trying AOSP or MIUI, I always found myself returning to sense (720p recording + fully functional). Even if it's slower then other ROMS.

It's funny to see how different are we all, and "vive la difference". Few days ago I tried again Sense (3.0 and 3.5), and guess what? I came back without any doubt to XJ MIUI ! That ROM really rocks.
Good luck.

Agree, even if porting is possible drivers are a great issue. Maybe its an option to port just the rosie.apk and the framework? (just an idea, my knowledge on this subject is very limit too...)

Sorry to continue the off topic but I can't use anything other than AOSP.

One of the major differences in this situation is that the MI-One is built with same SOC as the Evo3D/Sensation - the MSM8660. All bluetooth, wifi, gps, GPU-related, CPU-related and mmc and storage related drivers would likely be the same (or at least very similar).
It isn't like porting it to a device which has a completely different set of components.

So am i. After a while sense starts to show its flaws. Sense is a good experience, but stock is the pure android experience ! And with launcher pro and sense clock (the sense clock is the best thing i've seen!) i've built a better experience than sense itself. This days there're widgets and launcher skins to everything. You have to face it, sense is all about the homescreen

Well, not really. Acctually, I really don't like some of the new widgets. The clock, for example - I much prefer the old one which flipped faster.
But also, Sense ROMs are about proper facebook contact synching, synching with outlook and tethering that works well. All of this works out of the box, and all of it is done in style.
Anyway, it is a little off topic.
Kindly respond to the original question if you are interested, developers.

Hi,
well if MI-One same as EVO 3D/Sensation (partition layout/hw/chipset version) then there is no problem, same as HD2 and Desire...both are too different devices (windows/android) but now we have fully working android for both devices even Nexus One *AOSP* also have almost fully working Sense ROM...maybe this is wrong section for answer try Sensation/EVO 3D dev section...

Mi-One would be awesome with a sense rom imo.

Fair Dibs.
You are probably right - I only posted in the Desire section out of habit. I just updated the index and went from their. Well, that, and I know that there are some very skilled developers here.
You did raise an interesting point though: While the hardware is quite similar, the partition scheme is much more complicated (with two system partitions).
Josh

2? Why?

Anyway, it can be done. But without owning the device, it's impossible to test out ideas. Partition layouts are the simple part. Nothing some smart symlinking can't correct.

Can we vote somewhere for a xiaomi MI-ONE section on xdadev? Otherwise it's really hard to start the development on it..

[Q] Best ROM for Video Recording. [Urgent]

Fellow Evomates,
I know there are a couple of related threads, but they are quite old and do not have the info i m looking at.
I have a couple of ocassions in my locality for new year and i cannot afford to miss them and my evo 4g is the only camcorder that i have.
So i want to know which is the rom that has the best video recording capabilities.
I m currently on stock(unrooted) 2.2 (yes i know i m a generation behind but i never felt the need of rooting my phone until today)
The audio quality on the stock is horrible. The video is good but i know my evo is capable of doing better.
So i need a rom that can :
1. Record in 1080p (i saw a rom a couple of months back that had this, not sure if it actually did and how usable it was) I m sure evo can do 1080p because 1080p is nothing but 2mp and evo has an 8mp camera, correct me if i m wront. Also, if it can do 1080p will i need to upgrade to a class 6 or class 10 sd card ?
2. If not 1080p then 720p with excellent audio quality.
Please suggest me the best rom, current user experience will be greatly appreciated. I m okay with any rom(sense, aosp etc) , video recording is the only priority, i dont need any other feature.
All replies will be appreciated. Thank you. Cheers !
P.S The ocassion is on 2nd jan, so please reply quickly as it will take me atleast a day to root and test.

Re: Evo Video
Recently switched from Tmobile to Sprint. I have flashed them all. Energy Rom for 1080p. Its very stable, daily use however no 4g. Currently using Warm Two Point Two. Good Luck and a warning ....Flashing is very addictive...

Using RadianceHD Revamped for one of my 5 Roms and it has 1080p camcorder capabilities and now has Beats audio capabilities as of last night thanks to Chad kernel.
Also USB Host Mode so you can add/connect USB peripherals to your phone.

Enjoy

Thank you guys for the inputs. I m rooting my phone right away.
I have a couple of questions :
1. How stable is 1080p on evo. Does it lag ? how many fps can i get ?
2. Do i need to upgrade my class 2 sd card for 1080p to work properly.
Please note, i need to record for 2 hrs continuous, so how much of space will 1080p need ? Will an 8gig card be sufficient ??
Thanks

I remember reading somewhere that 16GB will get you 2.5hrs (empty), so by time you add Rom, apps and data you would be pushing it. 32GB, imo would be way to go. Might be wrong, but as far as class of card, heard mixed things on class 10, but good on 4 or 8. Brand name and reputation seems to play a part as well. Personally, I would never try and push a phone to do what you are trying to do.. but when its all you have.. you can make it do, just dont expect perfection.
I will say my EVO has never failed me yet :knocks on wood

Thanks. So i think 32gig class 6 is the way to go out.

I know i just cannot expect my phone to replace a camcorder completely and i know the limitations, but at the end of it i want most of its capabilities.
If it can do 1080p without any lag and without any prob, i would love 1080p from it but if it can do 720p with better fps then i guess i will stick to 720p.
What would be your final take? I m sure custom roms will do better 720p then the stock one, correct me if i m wrong.
So i guess i need to root it anyways.
Can you also post a video of 1080p so i can see how it looks, i would really appreciate if you can upload a sample. Thanks

Do you know anyother website or link to download the RadianceHD Revamped 3.5 sense with beats, Please try Every sites but all Links r broken, even the link you gave not letting download, it says smth about 10 Posts, Would really really appreciate if anyone can help me to download this ROM for my EVO 4G :/

[Q] One X and CM9...

I'm so, SO interested it swap my SGS2 with a One X. It looks so gorgeous.
My only concern is about the Tegra thing.
I guess how much control / development the amazing CM team will be able to obtain over the phone.
I briefly looked around and only found a port of CM9 for the OneX, while still no official.
If I'm not wrong, US saw the OneX only very recently, so perhaps it's simply too early for that.
What do you guys think about it ?
You feel like Tegra (which is nVidia, one of the most reluctanct player in the market to open up things) could be a major issue for custom developers ? Thinking of CM9 and future CM10...
Best regards

I dont think its a big issue, considering the transformer prime is running CM as well.
Plus, the current inofficial CM9 build has full hardware rendering enabled already. There still some small issues with RIL which causes volume issues with the earpiece and non-functional WiFi Hotspot, but everything else works just fine so far.

Thank you for these consolidated infos !
Those made me some more confident

I don't know why it doesn't have cm9 just yet, I think HTC as already outed the sources

HTC Desire with 8MP camera

Hello, everybody i have swaped the camera modul from HTC DESIRE HD to HTC DESIRE, it fits perfectly in the SOC.
take a look the pictures. So i have not tested this but perhaps shold someone :laugh::laugh: i am interested if will work but maybe is no software for this sh..t (sorry 4 my english, sem iz sLOVEnije)

Nice one, creative.. Probably need the drivers and camera-code from hd rom..
Greetz

keep us posted
Did the stock HTC Desire camera drivers recognise the features of the HD camera?

Wie. Youre creazy :banghead:
No no. Realy its Cool. Show us photo if thats work fine.
--------------------------------

Not sure why'd you'd do this - unless the HD was borked perhaps?
If I had both I'd probably just use the DHD

Very good idea! A Desire HD camera module costs 8 pounds if you google for "desire hd camera module".
If I could upgrade my camera in my old desire, I'd be very happy
(BTW replacing the kernel module on /system should not be too hard in any ROM; the rest of the software stack would probably work fine)

Good idea and the camera modules fit but in the photos it dusnt show how it is when its fully asembled?? Maybe another ss with the device is fully asembled
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

So,work or not ?

Battery life.

Does it work, man?!

Camera is the one feature that utterly sucks in desire, would really like to see it replaced, if the hardware fits together, would the software recognize it?

You would need to port the desire hd camera drivers from DHD kernel to Bravo kernel before it would even work alot of work for just 3 extra MP not worth it

Good job
Nice, interesting, post any photo with 8MP camera...:fingers-crossed:

No1 will bother with it because it requires porting kernel drivers system changes will have to be made and so on. and tbh the desire WON'T accept the camera module anyway because it was not made for the Desire. Try but i know it will fail but no harm in trying anyway If you guys REALLY want me to ill port the DHD camera drivers into the desire kernel so you can try it out just let me know thanks x

Impossibles in the past are easy possibles today, I think that if the module connections are the same, probably there is no limitations to the device accepting it. The only limitation here is probably how the kernel will interface with the camera but we have ported roms from other devices (with other camera models and specs) and our camera works with the modified kernels/drivers. I'm really curious about it, so it would be nice to test it.

It may have the same connectors but that's not to say it will work when fitted. Anything could happen. Personally i know it wont work but if you wish to test it anyway then go ahead. When you confirmed to me you have fitted the new camera module into the device let me know if it does not work which i know it wont PM me ill port the drivers to the kernel so you can be satisfied that it wont work thanks x

The autor of the first post (ikondric) already fitted the camera, he just need that you port the drivers I think. he said

If it works I will upgrade.
