Not sure if a fix or workaround has been posted at all yet. I was wondering if there's a fix for the Custom Roms which run off the OTA's (such as MikG / Synergy which run 2.3.3) yet with the sideways video chat problem in Google Talk?
From what I know, this isn't a ROM based issue, but more of a "2.3.3 not being fully compatible" with Gtalks video chat feature.
Maybe there's some files from a 2.3.4+ Sense based ROM from a different phone which could be brought over to our 2.3.3 to fix it, or something along those lines?

I was just wondering if someone could explain to me why its not possible for the devs to get video recording working on the Froyo ROMS.
I understand its something to do with the Radio, so is it impossible for this issue to be resolved until HTC issue an updated Radio when they get round to issuing the 2.2 Official update?
If someone could explain this I would be most grateful.
Tnx a mil,

Yes, it is related to the radio and until an updated radio is available it won't work
the devs can get video recorder working, you just need to use a 2.2 rom that has it working (as of a week or so ago).
Would anyone be willing to compile a patch for the Stock (3.26.651.6 OTA) 2.2 ROM in order to fix the known issue with AAC+ audio streaming in Froyo?
Google has provided the source for the fix here.
Cyanogen 6 has apparently implemented the fix already but that, unfortunately, is of little use to those of us utilizing the stock ROM.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Bumping this because I would like to see a patch made as well.
Work around here

Ok I just joined sprint and picked up three Evo 4G's for the family, couldn't resist the low price of the phones and service. I was using a Vibrant on T-Mobile but with all the ATT crap being flung around and the service seemed to be experiencing a lot of outages and super slowdowns on data I decided to go ahead and jump.
So with all that I am an experienced Android person and my Q's are for this phone's abilities and not general Android stuff.
Ok I am wondering if 2.3.4 will be released for the Evo?
I am also wondering if the g-talk with video can be installed on the current shipping rom?
Also as I read how to root it and install a new rom, I am wondering if there are any caveats that do not show up in the guides that would be nice to know ahead of time before rooting and installing a new rom/s. I also did a search, but not much came up, but I did find a couple roms that seem to be on a leaked 2.3.4 base?? not sure if that is right since I couldn't find anything about a leaked 2.3.4 anywhere, but I didn't dig to deep.
Thanks for any help with the 2.3.4 and video chat Q.
No ETA on 2.3.4 upgrade. If you have a custom ROM, they come with GTalk that includes video chat.
There are AOSP ROMs that are 2.3.4 but all the Sense ROMS are based on the 2.3.3 OTA.
But, all that needs Root access. And currently a new EVO with 2.3.3 cannot be rooted.

Wow no root on the new 2.3.3?!?! crap, but I imagine it wont take to long to get it hacked.
Is there a way to load up a cooked rom even without root? I imagine not. I ask because it was done way different on the Vibrant.
I had some trouble with GMail not synching properly anymore (it was only showing mails a couple of days old, but newer the newest ones) and since delete cache/data of the app did not work I removed it.
Bad idea, since I had to discover GMail is not available on the market for DHD/Gingerbread.
I found an apk on my HDD but it seems to be older than what I had before. Does anyone know what GMail version is the latest for Gingerbread?
I also tried extracting it from Virtuous Affinity zip-file, but couldn't find the apk. Is it hidden in some strangely named apk?
How about you just upgrade your phone a little to get a proper app.

Is there a smooth and 100% working ICS + Sense ROM for the DHD? Virtuous is still beta and though it's fast it's not as smooth as Gingerbread (from what I read). The same applies for most other ROMs posted here. Some parts not working, minor performance issues and so on.
So I don't feel like updating just because GMail isn't available from the market.
edit: If anyone ever needs it, I think 2.3.6 is the latest version for GB: Download
Try downloading any stock ROM, and see if you can extract it.
Hi
I have HTC desire and ROM MildWild 9.5 (Android 2.3.7)
Every time when I try install above version then 2.3, video recording looks like .gif
I did some testing on different android version and the results are as follows:
- Oryginal Android 2.1 Eclair - video was recorded an average of 30 fps/s. (I even saw 50 when weather was good)
- Oryginal update to 2.2 Froyo - video was recorded with max 29 fps/s.
Then I root my phone and change HBoot to CM7R2.
- I Instal rom MildWild 9.5 based on Gingerbread 2.3.7 - video is record with max 24fps/s but is ok. No cut, no problem.
Later I try to search higher version than 2.3, so I started to install any ROM based on Android ICS.
- All Android ICS ROM have the same problem - video is record with max 12 fps/s or less and cuts.
Then I start to search any ROM based on JB, but there was worse.
- All Android JB ROM record video with max 2 or 4 fps/s. Sometimes record is not possible because camera is crush.
4fps/s it's not video! It's looks like a .gif file. :laugh:
You see the problem?
Everytime when I install higher version of Android, video recording speed decreases.
Every developer writes:
"KNOW BUGS:
video recording is choppiness"
But how to fix this problem?
I know he knows, but where is the solution?
It's API problem, system, device or what?
Does anyone know a solution?
I want to have a newer version of android, but I also want to have working camera record.
Whether I am seeking too much?
Theres no fix for this yet because it is a htc desire and ics is newer sooo it wont work.

So the problem is the lack of compatibility between the old phone HTC Desire and new android version, right?
So I have to choose between:
a) new version of Android + not working camera /or
b) version 2.3 and working camera
Correct? (why I'm sad... :crying: )
