Hello All!
I have a question for all. I'm using the InsertCoin 2.3 stock. And I just found that I don't have "enable video calls" menu item in Skype settings (latest v 2.1.0.46). The question is - WHY?
It's interesting, but some of my friends, who uses custom ROMs has the same problem.
And some of my friend with official ROMs (2.2 or 2.3) doesn't have that problem. The video is working.
And I think skype somehow checks the rom if it is official or not. Any ideas??
How this problem can be solved?
on IC 1.0.9 it doesnt work too, i though maybe since the ROM is based on ACE S base which is Desire HD.
but IC 2.3 stock is a full desire rom, so emmm
dunno
Hi All.
this version is work for me )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16323558&postcount=1028
Im using the Coolsense ROM and its working fine for me. No problems what so ever. It preforms exactly the same as it was with the 2.2 stock ROM. I havent noticed any differences in Skype or with the skype video calling. And i still do have the option to enable and disable the video calling feature.
Only video problem? Consider yourself a lucky user.

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.

yes the espresso mytouch 4G is a sense based HD rom and I've been using it for about a month now, super reliable and super fast (quadrant nearly 2000)

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.
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.

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
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
Hi all,
I rooted my stock UK desire with official gingerbread as I wanted to enable call recording, with "CallRecorder (ROOT ONLY)"
I s-off it, rooted it and installed kernel update_2_6_32.zip
This worked perfect for me (or so I though) recording calls is great, perfect 2way recording, quality perfect.
The trouble is....
The kernel causes the camera to display a white screen rather than the image I want to take a picture of, but the camera still takes the picture fine. Also... (tested on stock browser and skyfire) Youtube, when playing videos only plays the sound and has the same white screen.
I found out on google that this is a kernel problem, probably my new kernel is not designed for gingerbread. When I install other kernels, found here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 I can get the camera and youtube working again,but, the call recorder stops working.
Is there any kernel that will allow me to have my call recording and my camera/youtube working? I guess I need some kind of custom kernel for a desire with gingerbread that enables 2 way recording.
If anyone knows of a suitable kernel for this job? I would be very grateful if you could share it with me if their is no kernel, will someone kindly work on this?
Thanks alot
Regards,
bigOliver
BTW, I have tried this kernel, no call recording, but everything else ok... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039004
I have gone back to kernel update_2_6_32.zip I'd rather have call recording than camera and youtube. I do hope there can be a fix to enable both?
How on Earth you concluded that flashing Froyo kernel over Gingerbread rom is a good idea? You have 2.6.35 kernel by snq which is the only GB sense kernel at this moment and it doesn't support call recording.

Im not using the 2.6.35 kernel, I reverted back to kernel update_2_6_32.zip is this not a good idea? Please can someone explain why, my phone seems to run fine in fact a little faster and the battery seems a little better (than before I rooted and changes kernel) plus I have working call recording which is a big plus for me. The only issues I have found is the camera/youtube issue.
Will there be a new kernel released that will fix these issues, or would it be possible for me, a noob, to maybe tweek the kernels 2.6.35 kernel by snq and update_2_6_32.zip to get the best of both?
Cheers,

I know you are not using it as I saw what you did.
Point is - you are using GB rom. Which has only one available kernel at this moment. You flashed Froyo kernel over it and hence your camera is not working anymore (and probably some other things aswell, just didn't manifested themselves yet).
Hi there... Time for changing the rom again.
I've been using MildWild CM-8.0 JG Stable for some months now, and it was good, but old. I also tried other Oxygen roms long ago... and even a 4.0 from VJ.
But I think every 4.0 rom doesn't record video, and has lots of troubles with the camera, not for video just for taking pictures.
So my question is... how is the camera topic for ICS going? any progress?
I find it weird that other devices like galaxy mini can have 4.0 roms though they have worst hardware than desire.
Any one that has a good and fast app for taking pictures / record video that actually works in 4.0?
Android 2.3.7 seems so old now... do you guys advice any rom for 4.0 or 2.3.7?
Thx.

Most 4.x Roms have about the same camera capabilities. Try VJ's roms, or nikez. I have heard good things about both.
