Are there any roms out here with working camera? I've tried out quite a number of roms from dev section. Sad to say, non of them has a proper working camera. And is it possible to use rom from another htc model, like htc one x, desire etc?
lol wut.....you obviously haven't used CM9 or the sense based one's....
dafuq? all roms have camera working dude

This is a very unnecessary thread. First of all, most One V ROMs have a functional camera. Furthermore, determining whether or not a particular ROM has a working camera can be determined by reading it's OP and thread.
Thread closed.

Hi peeps, i am the proud new owner of a rooted Desire (lucky me) and i think i know which ROM i would like to try.Its gonna be one of the sense HD ones i think (these are hacked from the Desire Z and HD i take it).But im not sure if it will do what i want.The only one i have found which i think i can use says no camera yet, is this the case or has a stable one with all the trimmings been finished.Dont wish to sound too dumb but there are that many its pretty hard to know what you should be looking for.Any helps good help, thanx in advance.
Desire Z and HD Roms dont have a camera yet, its still under development, there is a thread under the development section adressing this issue if you would like to know more as to why the camera isnt working as of yet ... but its only a matter of time. Both the z and hd roms are stable and work well (big up to the developers!) its only the camera that doesnt work yet and that doesnt really bother me
These two roms are very similar, some differences:
1. Music player doesnt rotate in z
2. rosie doesnt rotate in hd
3. no srs etc in z (not that i really noticed the difference)
If you cant go without a camera i would suggest leedroid or auraxtsense ... also sense roms.
But go and play around, try different roms until you find one that you really like!
In most of the custom rom threads, dev's do not like being asked about why the camera doesn't work. But I can't seem to find the answer so i'm posting it here.
What exactly is the problem with ics and camera's? why are there so much difficulties in enabling the camera in ics?

Because ics is a new android base and they are working as hard as they can to get it working. They don't want to hear about it not only because its in the list of what doesn't work and don't want bug reports, they also have put in an incredible amount of work and so many people put pressure on them about the camera as it is. Developing roms and kernels without a working base to start with is incredibly painstaking and is not easy. It's amazing they have gotten as far as they have with it since ace devices have no official ics base to work with. Just be patient. It will all get worked out eventually.
And don't forget that camera is not the most important in a phone
So they're going step by step... this is a very good way to proceed.
Because camera is for cam whores jk

The guys at the Desire development managed to get the camera working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
It's a rough hack and not very stable yet but works!
Also, the current ICS roms are running 2.6.x kernels, I'm positive it has something to do with that. Wonder if we'll even see 3.x on the DHD! Hope so!
Don't understand me wrong. I have great appreciation for the work that dev's do. Everyday I enjoy the fruits of the custom rom that I have loaded onto my device.
It was just that the camera in ics seems to be a problem for many custom rom developers and I assumed that it was something more specific to the developements with ics.

The guy was simply asking for info. He just wanted to know if anyone has an idea why the cam is a commom obstacle for different devs.. He wasn't underestimating the developers' work(who during my 5 years with xda, has proven to be the Gods of mobile modding!)
No harm in asking, right?

The kernel has changed and that requires new libaries to allow the camera to interact with it, these are the properiatary blobs that only HTC can officialy provide, now it should be possible when one of the DHD sister phones i.e Desire Z are provided with an official build that the camera can be reverse engineered, but if not it's gonna be a matter of trial and error to get any knid of functionality.
BTW If anyone with a better than my sketchy understanding wants to butt in and correct me please feel free
BTW BTW Lordclockan has a build with partialy working camera up and running
I agree with you. All the best to the devs ! Good luck !
I'm actually on AOKP build8, with Faux kernel, everything is fine, I like the look and feel (but missing the original HTC feeling, would love them to unbloat sense a bit and get to the origins...)
The one big thing missing (for many peoples I guess) is the Camera app...
Now here comes the question : haven't there been sens phones which camera app had been ported to aosp allready (like HTC Desire ?)
If this was possible then, isn't it now ? (while taking in consideration 4.0 is different from 2.X...
I'm just thinking to have a look at Venom (but hey, AOKP will get Jellybean much much faster )
Should I try Venom or is it justwaist of time ? Is there a way for the camera to beThanks for everything

The HTC camera needs the Sense framework, so it's almost impossible to make it work. The only way to have the best of both worlds is to use a sense rom with an aosp theme.

I know it need the senese framework, else I would not ask for it to be ported to AOSP
My question is not on how top prt it, but if a camera apk from sense has ever been ported outside of it.
I'm not too eager to go bck to sense, as multitasking is crap and just have 300MB more romsize for the camera ? Not sure...

This will not happen due to the closed drivers. Hence why on most aosp and aokp roms on any device we rarely see the stock applications running on them.

The Sense camera app is the reason im not using a custom rom yet, I want to use Epsilon Project (based on AOKP 4.1.2), but I want the sense camera, it is sad to hear that it is imposible to do this :crying:

EpsilonProject has a pretty nice camera that makes me forget the Sense one.
I only need to figure out how to disable face recognition.

but why dont you install a APK for good camera ??
camera + ?
I recently updated my wife's Desire HD with an AOSP ROM. I hadn't realised just how good Android has become without any manufacturer customisation. After playing around with the ROM for a while I was disappointed to go back to Sense on my One X. The default Google UI just feels very modern and consistent. Sense feels outdated.
I've looked around for the current best AOSP ROM for the One X, or an HTC based ROM with most Sense stuff removed. After looking at several I'm only more confused, all have pros and cons.
So, advice welcomed, what's good for an AOSP style experience right now? (A working camera is essential)
U can use ViperX ROM with apex launcher and geenyous aosp theme, the ROM is super fast, looks like aosp and has got the HTC camera app.
U can alternatively use cm9 or if u want jelly bean, then use cm10 by tbalden.

I'd suggest domination rom by owain if customization is your thing, or tgascoigne's aosp jelly been port if you like stable, streamlined, stock android, no tweaks.
All roms on the forum have a working camera and almost no bugs thanks to the awesome devs we have working on the HOX.

To everyone saying 'camera is essential' - if it's essential you'll have a proper camera. To rely on a phone is just silly
I find Trips roms are always fantastic. This is his Jelly Bean rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185, I believe the camera might not be working in the current version, however, a camera app off the market should work fine instead.
Thank for the advice guys, I'll look into those ROMs

I'm a really keen amateur photographer and carry my Canon 60D, G12 or Ixus with me a lot. Carrying one of them at all times isn't feasible though.
There are plenty of times when you don't expect to be taking photos but the opportunity arises. Finally having a respectable camera on a phone (such as the HOX) makes sure you don't lose the moment. It's also nice to be able take photos and email them on the spot.

I don't recommend a JB rom atm if camera is necessary. There are crashes and sometimes the pics taken are gibberish. I had to use my camera to take photos of some documents(no scanner nearby ) and got annoyed with the above problem.
ICS 4.1 roms are best.
Give Ice Cold Jelly a try. Camera is working fine for me. Is it sense camera you want to keep, or just need a working camera?

Because MIUI build their ROM on-top of official releases from the different manufacturers.
For Sense ROM go to viperX or ARHD .. for AOSP go to Domination

Any camera will do. Ice Cold Jelly looks good, will give it a try at the weekend.
There is no such thing as best ROM every ROM is good in it's own aspect. Because of these comparison we lot a great Kernel developer.

Poor Trip is the victim of failure to read. The boot.img and modules (kernel) in his CM10 ROM has everything working fine. He has a 3.x kernel which is not 100% yet. For some reason people keep posting the same kernel bugs that are already known in his ROM thread.
The ROM is fine and I am using the 009 kernel and it's perfect.
I highly recommend cm10 endeavor unleashed by trip raver (tripndroid mobile engineering) fast, smooth and solid reliability.
I didn't think I'd root my One X but I too just got bored with sense. I have a comprehensive understanding of branding principles but I think HTC take the concept too far with every phone for about 4 years having only slight changes in UI. When I buy a new phone I want it to feel new when I use it. Time to drop Sense and come up with something new.

I stand corrected
Hi guys,
My first post on this forum will be a question, and please believe me after searching in different topic I have not found an answer to my question.
I am the happy owner of a HTC X ONE, and I had the opportunity to flash several types of ROM: Cyanogen, AOPK, MIUI, STOCK-LOOK ...
And I fell in love with speed, speed, simplicity of cyanogen roms and its derivatives (such as PARANOID)
Especially with CM10 Jelly Bean.
But I have to stay in a rom type VIPERX, android Revolution HD, despite my distaste for the overlay SENSE because the application Camera (and in a less importance the gallery app) is just perfect . I think I'm not the only one in this situation.
Is it there's AOSP ROM projects (such CYANOGEN PURE), with an idea of a port of the fabulous camer app ?
Is it possible to make this port, or the only possible solution is to wait for official 4.1 ROM and remove any touch of SENSE keeping the application?
Thanks for your answers.
No it is next to impossible, if anything incredibly unlikely, as HTC sense uses different framework.
