Desire HD or Z ROM

Wow! The camera is now working for the new sense.
The new official versions of those new sense roms will come out very soon (Robociks RCMixHD and Desire Z Port).
Now, I am confused :
To rotate or not to rotate?
Anyone can help me decide?

Personally I don't like the look of it in Landscape so I'll say HD
Not followed the camera progress for a while so if it's working I'll be rooting again soon

I was going to ask the same question!. I can live without 720p for the time being - seems a minor fix compared to actually getting the camera working in these ROM's.
I am currently running Teppics ROM and i do like it but i am very tempted to try another!
Can i just ask what is the rotating part you are talking about? - I have not kept up with the ports until the camera issue was resolved?

The HTC Sense can be viewed in a landscape mode in the Z ROM.

to be honest, the rotating kind of annoys me, so i'm a HD rom man.
the MT4G rom is also interesting and worth a look if you want to try something a bit different. really fast too.

Hmmm....it seems rotation is not to everyone liking..
720p is also a minor problem for me as long as I have the camera working because I need the camera for emergency use when I don't have my Panasonic FZ38 with me.
Is there a speed difference between Z and HD?

My Mistake, ignore this reply
*This*

Never use 720p as it's terrible on the Desire so it doesn't bother me - just a working camera will do the job!!
All flashed and working fine

aaa said:
If I am not mistaken, MT4G is a non-Sense ROM.
I have tried Cynogen about two weeks ago, I like the speed but I got the impression that I was not holding an HTC Desire on my hand because the Sense was missing and Sense is a kind of a birth mark on every normal HTC Desire.
That is why I use Leedroid instead

I'm trying to remember - it was a little while since I used it - but I think it was sense, or had the sense widgets anyway.

why is 720p a problem for you? HD Recoring is pathetic on the desire

I wanna have everything functioning but again as said, it is only a minor problem, something I can live with.
Yup, very bad...the recording quality is pathetic.

Have you find any issues or bugs (the laggy 720p is already known)? Notification LED?
According to forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818392 : "Rom is cleaned of bloatware."
Do you know :
What are/ is the bloatware/s? or what is missing or removed?
One of my fav mod now is the DSP manager and I am currently using Leedroid 2.2f, does the DSP thing works on that ROM?

the bloatware was all the t-mobile junk and game demos/apps etc
DSP manager isn't working on this rom at the moment
(but the dev is very helpful and will probably try to fix it if you ask him nicely )
In my opinion the rom kernel isn't the best, I've tried quite a few over the weeks and coutts99 kernel remix is the best so far (now with audiomod to boost the sound)
there is a promised new release version later on tonight so if you're thinking of flashing this rom hang on for a few hours...!

I will definitely wait.
I want the new sense badly
It doesn't have to be the same DSP manager as I use at the moment as long as I can adjust the audio quality as I please.
I have tried the HD Rom 3 weeks ago, but switched back to Leedroid because of the camera was not working.
Now the camera is working, I can live with the 720p problem.Although, I am still hoping that the 720p problem will also be fixed soon.

[Q] Which ROM would you recommend

Hey, hope there aren't a lot of threads with the same question but i didn't find one.
I will root my Desire the next days and then want to update to a custom rom.
There are some things i really need:
1. A2SD (that i can store any apps on the SD card)
2. Stable (NO bugs)
3. Sense (maybe normal sense, but might be also a port from the desire HD/Z)
4. Fast-Browser WITH Flash
5. (not so important) a Rom which is not overloaded and themed, i like the way sense looks, with all it's fonts and pictures.
Would ne great if someone could tell my what rom he would suggest for me and my needs.
Thanks

iNsertCoin HD/Z Port 1.9.5

in the video the menu seems to be a bit laggy. and the equalizer doesnt work. not that i need it but i dont like roms where something doesnt work... why would you recommend this to me?

One more voice for "iNsertCoin HD/Z Port". I am still using older version "1.8f".. No FCs, very nice and smooth. No lags for me.

Cool sense Cool Z v6 (i can't get V7 to work properly(its still in beta))
The HD roms from my pov, the fonts too small for my old eyes

I have been using the REMIxHD and it all seems to work very well, very fluid lag free flash works standard browser so might give dolphin ago. But then again when I got the LG GT540 on 2.1 thought it was good at the time.

I am using standard leedroid 2.3d. Working great for me and fits into your criteria.

The phone runs an older verison of the ROM in the video, which was laggy. EQ does not work, desire lacks of hardware.
I think you should go with a 2.2 Froyo ROM such as LeeDroid and not the HD/Z ports or Gingerbread.

I used to have RCMIXHD 3.0 A2SD and had a great experience with it. Surprisingly fast.
If Sense is not a priority for you, I'd recommend Oxygen or MIUI XJ, way smoother than any Sense HD port.

I used to love sense too. Sense is lovely.
These days though I realise that it's just eye candy - free yourself and get rid of it.
Go for Redux 1.0.2 (Gingerbread) which is the fastest smoothest ROM I've used (and I've used a lot).
Launcherpro has some god damn accurate Sense style widgets built in, and you can easily mod its dock to look the same as the sense dock, so you can have the sense look and feel, whilst still being able to use all the free space that sense usually takes up
This is what I'm currently running and I'm really happy with it.

free yourself and get rid of it.

I had a HTC hero before and used Android without sense, but the audio player for example sucks ...
i think i will stick to froyo and sense until the official gingerbread+sense comes out and someone has rooted it and created a custom rom.
Or is there anything in gingerbread that ist better than in froyo?

Actually i think LeeDroid is overloaded. The pictures i've seen are full with custom logos, fonts, etc, etc.
I Just want the original sense/sense HD style.
What ROM would you recommend? What about the Rooted Stock Roms?
And another question: Does slowing down the CPU when screen ist of (what is possible in some ROM's) really help for more battery life? I'm not really convinced and afraid of destroying anything on my loved HTC Desire..

There is nothing like that in LeeDroid. i think you are getting a wallpaper
confused with the os. or maybe you saw a boot animation and got it
confused either way it is "stock" sense with tweaks and it runs very
nicely. I swear by it anyway and put it on all my friends desires.
I went to HD roms but they either start running slow or take
too long to open things like the music player, this all bugged me so i
ditched it. I got the feeling that it wasnt designed for this hardware.
It might be good by now but who knows.
With leedroid i set the cpu scaling to "smartass" so it dips when nothing
is happening or the screens off and rises back to the top when in use.
"ondemand" does the same i believe but each governor has its advantages.
This all helps battery life but i cant say how much because ive been
running it for so long i dont notice.
Leedroid also has an intergrated fix for the charge issue with sense roms where
the battery is never at 100% when you take it off charge.

Try StarBurst lite is what you are looking for,
its Stock Sense with simple D2Ext. Kernel is LeeDroid 2.3 from snq - major Battery saver.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916417
or try dsixda's Kitchen and cook your own Stock ROM with A2SD and just flash snq's Kernel.

Im using coolexe hd version 7,got a2sd sending apps to memory card. Batterys good,pretty much the same,but this is dependant on the amount of apps and things you get id say, The hd sense is much better in my opinion,more customization. Htc.com onboard but only some things work,lovely rom though id take that one a go,insertcoins good also,ive tried aurax also.all good.try them all mate,once you know the score test as many as u want!

A simple, stable gingerbread would be Oxygen 2.0.1.
A feature rich, fully customiseable alternative is the Cyanogen ROM (link in signature).
Choose whatever suits your needs.

I found this topic that is what I want to know. I hope it is not wrong to revive this thread.
I would like to root my Desire soon and update it to a custom rom.
There are some things i need:
1. Stable (NO MAJOR bugs -calls, sms, wi-fi, camera and basic functions should be working with no problems)
2. Android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5
3. A2SD (so i can store any apps on the SD card)
Would like to have, but not a must: Only if it works without laggs and buggs.
4. Sense 3.0 or 3.5 (for example like one from the desire HD)
I have htc Desire with official 2.3.3 Android (that I instaled from htc website) and is not rooted yet. I want to root and instal one of the newest android on my phone.
Therefore I would ask for some help, to help me choose the right one for me. I'm considering one of those:

Would be great if someone could tell me which rom would you suggest for me. One of those 3 or perhaps one I misslooked.
I'm sorry for my spelling mistakes...
I'm grateful for any help or suggestion I might get.

Just installed Runnymede AIO V4.0 Special Edition, runs really smooth.

Before i switched to CM7, i used Insert coin and it was really really fast and was stable only reason i switched to CM7 was due to better themes and more settings

This is all really helpful, thanks so much to all you guys for doing this!!
My quick question on this, any of the roms that pretty much emulate a standard experience, e.g. the Starburst, plus app2sd functionality, any of these also support ad hoc wifi?
I believe there are ways of custom installing it, though are there (simple) roms out there which include it already?

Cyanogen Mod roms??

Im fairly new to the whole rooting/custom rom game (have a rooted DHD running Leedroid HD V2.2.2) and keep seeing Cyanogen Mod popping up everywhere!! Whats this ROM all about? I have read its a nightly so is constantly being updated, but is there any stable versions? Do normal android apps run on this platform? Is there any advantage to moving to one of these roms as opposed to a Froyo or GB rom? I only use my DHD for fairly basic stuff (gaming, navigation, music, email etc.) but do like it to be fast and look a bit different to every other DHD!!!
Thanks in advance! Dan

Oops Many but basic questions....CyanogenMod is currently CM7 series...its based on GB only....but no-Sense....there are RC2 available which is stable enough...no reboots or crashs.....
Its an android rom only so all the application runs on this..
The only thing which you are going to miss is video player as the video player on the sense rom is nice....but alternative are available.
you will get many other things....speed is one of them...
Hope I have answered some...

It will remove sense...you can just see that sense roms are 200MB and CM7 is just 80MB...lot of bloat will be off and speed will be there...but if you love sense then its a different case...
CM has a good support so lot of features are getting added regularly...try it and see if it is of your liking.....try CM7-RC2

[Q] Camera flash and shutter close out of sync

Hi everybody,
I'd just like to ask a question about HTC Desire camera flash problem of mine.
Whenever I take pictures in the dark and use flash, my pictures coe out half dark or totally dark.
Has anayone been expiriencing these kind of problems and possibly found a fix for it.
Currently I'm using the latest WWE oficial ROM for my Desire.
I have been experimenting with custom ROMs but I reverted to official ROM in waiting of official 2.3 update.
Please send any ifo on the subject cause there isn't a lot out there on the net.
Thanx.

after updating to official 2.3 my flash and camera are out of sync too, flash goes before taking picture resulting poor pictures when in dark rooms. any idea how to fix this?

I have had the same problem with my wife´s desire and 2.3 update, i did not find any solution so i installed a Froyo RUU again, did root, remove some htc apps and installed Neo´s Kernel.
Now camera and whole Froyo ROM works fine, with very good battery life using set cpu.
But i´d like to know if there is any solution for camera using ginger.

nobody interested?

I am interested!
So, it seems none of the current Gingerbread kernels solve this issue? This is basically what is keeping me in Froyo.

I think my HTC Desire running the Leedroid 3.3.3 ROM might be slightly out of sync to, however i still do seem to get good picture quality?

Finally I found people with same issue as me! I've been looking high and low for sollutions to this issue with no luck, but now at least I found this thread
I've had this issue since the Froyo update if I remember right, updated to official Gingerbread with hopes that it would get solved, and ended up rooting phone and installing Cyanogen 7.1 and nothing... still same problem. Flash goes off, and shutter closes just a little to late and pictures ends up being to dark.
I will keep on testing a couple of roms and see if someone has fixed it, and if so report back here. Doesn't look like it's a common issue though, as there is no info on the net about it.
-swex

I've been running Gingerbread since the official update came out and lately the Supernova ROM and just now I realized I never used the Desire to take photos in the dark so I actually never used the flash. That's why you will not find any info about it, we use our smartphones like they are meant to and think crap picture quality is a given

That's probably the main reason it's not fixed. A lot people doesn't even know it's not working as it should and just expect crappy pictures at night.
Anyways, I tried the camera with Supernova (GB) and Oxygen (GB) and still same problem. I'm gonna test a Froyo based one, but I'm sure I also had this problem with stock Froyo.

I've moved back to Leedroid 2.5.0 (Froyo) and the flash works waaaaayy better!
Also, on GB ROMs, I found that audio and video were recorded out of sync unless the videocamera resolution was set to 640x480 (VGA) or lower. On Leedroid 2.5.0, it records fine when set to 800x480 (WVGA) as well.

Hmm, I just installed a GB based ROM (Oxygen) on a friends Desire and the flash works perfectly, so maybe it's not software related? But some of you say it gets fixed going back to Froyo so that's weird... Maybe there are small differences between Desire editions?
Checking out my friends Desire I just realised it's not the flash being out of sync, it's just that my second flash never goes off. I only get the pre-flash and then it takes the picture without the second flash. Very frustrating!

My mistake man, I should have said its GB sense Roms that have the problem. GB aosp roms tend not to.

I have the same problem.. Very dark photos in dark rooms with sense 3.0-3.5 roms.. Not with cm7 rom.... Why this is happenig is matter of rom or kernel?

No idea, but for the forseeable future we have to accept it as an inevitability when using any sense ROM with Android 2.3 or higher. Unfortunately.

Well, for me it also happens with Oxygen 2.3.1 and CM 7.1 so in my case it's not a matter of using Sense. Maybe I have a different hardware problem then... or something broken

720p recording

HI all.. how life goin?
I have a question.. I'm going off to vacation tomorrow and I need a rom which (better if more) saves battery (due to the long way around 20 hours to my destination) and (for sure) has 720p recording.. i download opendesire yesterday but not satisfied at all...I have CM nightly now runnin and i tried copying the camera app into the device but it get me FCs... so I need a complete rom change.. anyone knows a good rom?
I was going to use InsertCoin HD but really in doubt with versions.. all versions and fakes around the net.. so please help with a good rom!

Only sense roms support 720p recording. Avoid ports as all of them stretch the recording in portrait. Probably safest bet to flash something based on latest RUU. Or FroYo. It never misses but it can't record in 30fps, and about gingerbread I'm not sure.

Im not interested in Froyo.. I only want Gingerbread.. and I'm sure that non-Sense gingerbread roms support 720p.. (like the OpenDesire).
i don't like sense. idk why? haha

It says it has 720p support. Have you tried it?

yes i have tried but laggy recording.

I reckoned it doesn't work. Try insertcoin stock 2.3 and see if it records any better.

i dont know like the others, but i try many GB 2.3.3 sense roms (insert coin 1.1.1, SGBS 2.3, Pyramid v7, Sense o Villain 1.3) and non of them record without laggz,audio ouf of sync etc in 720p mode
i think for now is no GB sense 2.3.3 rom capable to record in 720p without problems
