ok i love sense roms, and MIUI. i also like the CM7 alot. but i seriously DISLIKE the CM camera app. its always fuzzy, blury, and overall the UI of it blows(No offense CM)
is there a way i can get like a Sense camera app to work on it. or a different camera app thats better than the CM camera
cause i heard i can run netflix on CM7. but every sense rom is so outdated where i dont like it anymore on the old style from like mikz froyo 4.6 and myn warm rls5. i was really into the Virus gingerbread roms. but netflix doesnt work on them.
I bought Camera360 Ultimate. It works well, and has many of the options of the sense camera. Also, if you go on the amazon market today (5/22) retro camera + is the free app of the day, and also takes nice pictures, but they all have a retro look.

I doubt CM is going to take much offense to what you said. They didn't theme the camera app, it's the stock Gingerbread theme for the camera. If anyone takes offense, it would be Google.
If you want the MIUI camera on CM7, extract it from a MIUI rom, rename it to Camera [since its already an apk] then adb push / move it to /system/app folder.

Alright.. so we all probably use virtuous rom, gingervillian,cyanogen or miui.
I wanna know why everyone chooses each one.. I've flashed all and am just curious to why everyone else chooses the roms they do.. what really makes you stay with the rom you have??
I run miui. To me cyanogen lacks full customization. And has no benefitial features over miui. I get same battery life and phone runs smoothly at 1ghz as it would on any other rom. ONLY issue is random reboots. Which is a theme issue not a rom issue.. And I don't care for sense roms.. to me they slow the phone down.. although I am waiting for cm7 to become stable before my first flash.

Currently I am running MIUI. I'm still getting used to it but overall I like it. I love the UI. It looks clean and it's quick.
Stock post ota deodexed.... because every other rom gives me some sort of problem that there is no guide to fixing and I don't have the time to troubleshoot the bull****
Whats deodexed mean??

The 1.2Ghz clock speed from the God speed thread.
Anything higher than that affects my battery and I don't see any obvious benefit as I don't play any games that need a higher CPU.
virtuous because of eye candy and htc streams are awesome!!
which rom saves battery most?
I use CM6.1.1
I previously tried Virtuous because I always wanted a Sense phone but realized Sense actually sucks, well the messaging, gallery and dialer at least.
I use my phone heavily for A2DP bluetooth streaming and apperantly cyanogenmod is pretty much the best rom for bluetooth audio quality, also the added equalizer feature is awesome. Its just like the stock rom whish I loved since my nexus days but with just the right amount of customization.
MIUI looks annoying as hell, why not just buy an iDevice if your into that UI?

When you install an app, sometimes it comes with an odex file (i believe it's an extension of some sort to the app) When you are de-odex'd, it merges the extension (dot odex file) with the apk. The only reason I wanted this rom was to use themes for stock roms. I also found that it boots the phone up a hell of a lot faster.
Highly recommended for people who want the stock feel but like small mods here and there.

That's not a rom...
that's a kernel........... *facepalm*
I run Virtuous for a few reasons:
1. camera - the stock Android camera app is abysmal. Few options and not easy to use in the least.
2. music player - genre support is a big one for me
3. Sense - I use LauncherPro, but I prefer the sense contacts and other features.
4. I installed the 3D gallery from stock, so I have access to both. One other small benefit of the otherwise useless Sense gallery is a scrollable 'share' pop-up. On stock ROMs (or CM), if you have too many options in this menu, you can't scroll so you can't access them. Sense lets you scroll the 'share' list.

Not everything about miui is iphonish... and even the parts that are you have options.. the menus? I turn those to the standard grid. the icons? Not all are uniformed "squares" all thou the theme is use they are. But I actually am I fan of uniformed icons. I think it looks cleaner.. imho. What about miui looks annoying?? I admit the original launcher is lame. But I don't use it.. I think docks and notification bars are lame. I don't use either and rock adw.. swipe down for notifications and up for apps. plus you can't tell me miui lock screen isn't sexy..

looking for stock camera app from the various roms out there...
stock Inc? Evo? MIUI? and if you could post up pics too, that would be great....
CM, which I'm running atm, uses the stock AOSP crappy camera...yeah it works, but would like a nicer UI....
I'm interested to see some responses as well - I briefly tried out CM6.1 stable and I thought the photos from that camera app looked better than the Sense camera photos. I'm not too worried about the interface as long as the image quality is good... BTW, is there a relatively easy way to switch out camera apps between ROMs that you know of?
Sense ROMs won't run AOSP cameras, and vice versa. That said, you can download the EVO camera from the Virtuous section of ROM manager. IDK about flashable AOSP cameras.

I like the stock camera app in Skyraider Athena (think it's the HTC Sense camera) but when I'm feeling artsy I whip out RetroCamera. Very cool app, ad supported and lots of fun. Just make sure you go into the settings and enable high-res pictures, else you'll get tiny little pics not good for very much.
It does take a bit of CPU to "develop" the pictures after you snap them but it's done in the background so you can keep shooting and it will just buffer them up.
Vignette is downloadable from the maket
I prefer the evo cam bcuz it has the button on the screen and it seems to take better pics but it could just be an illusion too

I think its how it communicates with the sensor

Lightbox is supposed to be the next big thing. Supposedly, it's an Instagram knockoff. Vignette is good as well!
Im on sense 3 from uber roms and the camera isn't that good.. i remember back when I use z roms they had a good camera.. also tried the latest MUIU and the camera is very good.. currently im using lg camera pro from the market wich has better quality than the gingerbread camera...

I prefer the EVO camera because it has touchscreen spot metering.
I'm currently using Inc Deck gingerbread and the SOAP is lacking. Not bad, but nothing special.
Camera 360 is pretty good but the spot meter is really center metered.
Focuses fast though

MIUI Camera rocks
I like the sense camera on SR4.1. Basic, but takes a pretty good picture with the touch auto focus and a steady hand. Also, PicSay is a pretty fun app to trick out photos of your friends and whatnot.
From what I have read neither the camera, dialer, or EPST can be put on an AOSP ROM. Hoping someone can tell me this isn't so.
Any reccomendations?
(I tried 360 and vignette but was not happy with the lag on them. The closest dialer I found was dialerone but looking for something with a little more polished look.)

Not quite sure where you are going here. If you are that in love with sense apps, why are you interested in AOSP roms? The way your question reads, it sounds like you haven't yet tried AOSP. That is the beauty of this whole process. Nand, try something out, and if you don't like it or it doesn't have what you were looking for, nand back!!
I've been rockin MIUI for 3 months and not missing sense one bit. The camera is AMAZING- better than sense and the market apps. Some apps do have nice effects and what not, but none of them can touch MIUI's camera as far as moving/action shots go.
Let me know if you need any more info regarding AOSP. Again, back up your stuff and go see for yourself. As long as you nandroid, you have nothing to lose!
I've tried MIUI, CM6, CM7, and one other GB ROM in addition to many sense ROMs. It's not that I'm in love with sense apps. I use ADW. Overall I prefer CM7 first and foremost and secondly MIUI. I put on almost 40k miles a year and use my GPS and bluetooth constantly and like to take lots of pics. MIUI has a great look and feel but the GPS takes longer to find locations than other ROMs and when using my bluetooth is incredibly unresponsive so those two things killed it for me. I never really played with it's camera. If I were a dev I'd take base my ROM on CM7, add MIUI menus, customizability options, theme manager and take the camera, dialer, and EPST from Sense.
Where I was basically wishing for is a way to put the Sense dialer, camera, and EPST on CM7. I should have said that Thanks for the reply though!
Just got my Defy yesterday, just couldt wait or see the point in waiting for the Defy+....
It seems as im the lucky ones with a Green Lens but with the 720p able chip on it.
Anyways back to the subject in hand... Why dont i see any AOSP roms? There are a couple of MIUI roms, and a bunch of MOTOBLUR roms. I personally hate Motoblur since i use LPP to set up my launcher as i want.
The best so far has been a WajkIUI that has LPP installed as default, but i hate the MIUI style menus. They are just too Iphonish.
So... Is there a clean AOSP rom for this phone or not?
Not exactly AOSP, but CM7 is really close to it (just a few extras but they are usable not like blur)

So I have bounced from Sense roms to trying the ocassional CM7 or AOSP rom for about 2 years now...
I REALLY want to go to either CM7, Xplod, or similar AOSP roms but cant figure out if there is a way around or a fix for a couple things that just really drive me crazy on the AOSP vs Sense roms...
Is there any way to import the sense version of... or any aftermarket alternative to:
#1- the dialer. Ive tried Dial One, and another (forget the name).. nothing comes close to the Sense dialer in my opinion. I HATE that the AOSP doest do the T9 thing that would let you quickly find a contact by hitting the number pad.
#2- the gallery. I really dont like the 3d gallery that ive gotten on the recent roms. The simplicity of the gallery that came on the older Sense (and the synergy roms) is A+ IMO.
#3- the voice recorder. Not sure whats up with this, maybe just a bug on the Xplod rom I was using, but it would let me record but not listen to previous recordings. Had to go through "movies" to listen after I found the saved recording in the SD card with root explorer. lol.
#4- The Camera... tried to use titanium backup to install sense (htc camera) on AOSP.. no dice. FC city
Although this is only 3 little apps.. its some of the things I use most and really hate the AOSP versions. ... really love the sense versions.
My current DD is Synergy with Myn's theme. I love... LOVE... the look of the rom but its a little slow, doesnt notufy with the LED, has very limited kernels, and bettery life is sub par IMO.
Im almost ready to go back to the Evio 2 1.8. That and Myn 2.2 are the top2 ive ever had on the evo. If I could get the good parts of sense on the AOSP id be all set!
Thanks for anyone who can offer any help!
~dan
not sure on the 1st 3 but have you tried MIUI's camera? I know, its not sense but it seems to be the best IMO
thanks for the reply. I tried Miui, my biggest problem with that, is that it doesnt refocus with screen taps.
Im constantly chasing my kids arond trying to grab that "quick shot". The htc camera is awesome for this.
Hts video recorder also has a really good option to refocus WHILE recording, somthing I cant seem to find anywhere else with AOSP options.
I DO like the miuioption to touch anywhere on the screen for shutter though.
So for "#1", ive downloaded about 5 different dialer apps.. Go, Mydialer, Angel, Touchpal, and Ray...
One of those will hopefully hold me over. If there's any way to get the HTC dialer to AOSP that Ive missed, someone please correct me!
Anyone know if the 3.5 Sense Gallery will work on AOSP?
Go Contacts has a dialer like that, and it's has some decent themes. I like QuickPic for my gallery.

I use Fishbowl for my gallery as the Cooliris gallery that comes with CM7 is garbage.
Just FYI, the Amazon free app of the day is Contapps, which has a very sense-like feel.
Quickpic is my favorite, loads everything super fast.
