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.

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

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?

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

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.
Can't find any answers on forums so here goes...will a future 2.3 OTA update for DHD be by carrier or phone manufacturer i.e by HTC direct.
I got mine p&g on 3 network but don't use the 3 sim, I use an o2...so how wld any OTA update arrive, do I need to keep putting 3 sim back in the phone from time to time or when I check for updates will it come from HTC direct?...I take it that it wldn't come from o2...
Thanks
**Emailed HTC..they say they wont be releasing any OTA update, it will come from carrier, and for me to contact 3
***Just spoke to 3...didnt expect much from them, according to their c/s call centre assistant in Mumbai, the latest version of Android 3 network has is 2.1...dimwit, I bought the phone from 3 and had 2.2 already on it, which he disputes..obviously he knows better than me who bought the phone and uses it
Have a look at the software build. If it's x.x.405.x then any updates will come from HTC directly. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the carrier to modify it first.

We are all new to it at some point but the whole process is actually a lot easier than it first sounds. Just read the instructions and FAQs until it's clear what you need to do. See my reply in the thread linked below to save you searching and to save me typing it all again!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920238&page=2
As for things not working in custom ROMs, well that was maybe the case when the DHD was first released but it's certainly not the case now. Lets take Android Revolution HD ROM as an example - Everything works as it should and the performance of it blows all stock ROMs away.
There are other 100% working / stable / every day use ROMs too, like LeeDroid ROM which also gets great feedback from the people who use it.

Many thanks...maybe I will have a try...getting bored with Froyo cos of all the 2.3 hype so wld like to see what the fuss is about...cant read anything on android forums without them banging on about gingerbread this, gingerbread that...and an OTA from 3 or HTC isnt worth holding breath for
Ah... now most fully working DHD ROMs are also Froyo, but don't let that put you off as they will all be like night and day compared to stock Froyo. You jsut have to have a quick look at the release notes and change logs to see the differences.
However if you really do want a slice of tasty Gingerbread look at the CM7 builds, but this is where you will find things not working or unstable etc as they're experimental.
Another option to relieve your Froyo boredom is to flash one of the custom Froyo ROMs and then start customising it with mods and themes etc. See post 2 in the Android Revolution HD thread for some really cool stuff, and also in the first few posts of the LeeDroid thread.

We'll have to wait for HTC to release the official update, or wait for another model HTC to get 2.3 and then be ported over to DHD.
It will happen, we just have to be patient... something I learned waiting for the 2.1 update for Hero!
In think custom 2.2 would be better than stock 2.3 anyway. On the other hand, custom ROMs based on 2.3 are something to get excited about

HTC! there's potentially a lot of work with the framework and API changes from Froyo to gingerbread and I wouldn't expect personally to see a GB sense ROM until HTC have ported it
Having tried quite a few sense 2.1/3.0 ROMs now, the flash timing in the camera is off.
Although the flash works, the image is captured just as the flash is stopping, so very little, almost no effect of the flash is captured.
I've tried stock hboot and cm7r2 hboot setups, and also flashed camera fix patches for ROMs such as Leedroid 3.3.3 and RevolutioN 1.0 and 1.5 (although the camera fix should be included in 1.5).
I also tried these camera fix patches with insertcoin 1.1.4 just in case, as that rom is perfect in every other way, but sadly no joy.
I've had to revert to oxygen 2.3.1 for a camera with a flash that works as it should, but I really really miss sense 2.1/3.0.
Please let me know if you know of such a rom that doesn't have this camera bug.
Many thanks

I too tried about 8-10 different sense roms and all of them have the camera issue and take a very dark picture, I tested all these in the exact same lighting conditions to be sure.
I also tried Cyanogenmod 7.1 and it seemed to take a bright picture but seemed very noisy..didnt quite compare to the original factory 2.2 rom (which I tested in same conditions after all the rest to rule out a hardware issue and took a very good quality picture).
I then reverted back to a 2.2 Sense Rom (Starburst) which solved the camera issue totally and took a good picture, it is very close to the original without the memory issue (Data2SD).
I am just wondering if anyone has managed to find a Gingerbread sense 2.1/3.0 rom that has a working camera/flash the same as the factory 2.2?
Maybe this information may also help some of the ROM developers who are trying to implement various camera fixes..
Or does anyone know of a fix that exists for this?
I've tried pretty much every gb sense rom since i posted this in October and sadly had the same problem with them all. Also found that when recording videos, the audio and video go out of sync, so I'm now resigned to the fact that you can EITHER have a gb sense rom OR a decent camera, but not both.
Miui camera works really well and have been using that for a while, but the rom seems to get laggy after a few weeks use so I'm now back on the latest version of Oxygen, with ADW launcher and ICS theme and I'm loving the simplicity, the great battery life and the fact that everything just works!!
Have you considered using a non-sense rom with LP sense mod?

Hi guys, new to the desire community.
Which Rom is better for daily use?
-supernova gb sense Rom
-leedroid hd 3.3.3
-leedroid v2.5
-leedroid v3.0.8.2
Thanks guys! Been thinking which is good.

Which ROM do you like the most? Which one of them to you works the best? Ask yourself a few questions, and when a specific ROM always comes up first you'll find your answer.
Currently using leedroid hd v3.3.3. But the internal memory seems to go down fast with a2sd++.

Thats the same question as the OP but adding an extra variable. See Timmaaa's response
I've found that pretty much any Sense GB ROM has glitches here and there, whether it be MMS not sending, camera flash timing, video playback stuttering etc etc etc.
About 4 days ago, I went back to Leedroid 2.5.0 and although it's only Android 2.2, it just works as it should.
The only thing that bothered me was that there are no toggles for wifi/Bluetooth etc in the notification bar, but there's a little mod to flash that enables that as well, so now it's spot on.
I'd recommend this for daily use.

That's because the "any Sense GB ROM" you referred to are all ports! Naturally, there will be bugs. Anything based on official HTC RUU-GB Roms like Supernova, Teppic, Alex-V; or Froyo Roms-StarBurst, old Leedroid shouldnt have issues.

Lol, I guess!
My main gripes are:
- Camera capturing images just as the flash is switching off, so pics come out too dark
- Audio and Video being out of sync on videos recorded with the camcorder, when the resolution is set to anything higher than 640x480
(I have a 3 yr old son, so the camera/videocamera gets used a lot!!)
So what about your ROM?
Can you confirm whether these issues are apparent in it?
I've been reading about it and it sounds great, but there's no point flashing it if these issues occur!!
Many thanks
Unfortunately, I've not really tested these details specifically on SuperNova (my work is mainly based on advanced system scripts), and cant test it at the moment, since...wait for it..I'm on my Froyo Rom, StarBurst If I test it out later, I'll update this thread with my results
The reason I switched back to Froyo was the superior network and wifi drivers, which will never be solved on GB Sense without source/a better Ruu..
if you want sense, you should try silky tobasco's
if not oxygen is the best..

Hmmm...
at the moment, GB AOSP ROMs are relatively more stable than the GB Sense ROMs (with Sense 1.9, 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5 or hybrid/2.1+3.0)
GB Sense ROMs are still not yet mature (my opinion) and as usual, maturity increases along with the developing time.
If you want really reliable ROMs, use Froyo Sense ROMs or any other AOSP or MIUI ROMs.
BTW:
I am now on GB Oxygen (http://forum.oxygen.im/)
and waiting for ICS
I really really hope the devs can come up with stable ICS for daily usage.
I recently had to move back to my desire after my newer ICS orange san diego developed an overheating problem.
It currently has CyanogenMod7 on it but I would like to put a similarly stable and performant ICS or JB ROM on it.
It seems there are a number of ROMs still under pretty active development and I'm having a hard time in choosing between them.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a stable ROM with reasonable performance that I could stick on the desire?
I do use the video camera from time to time so would preferably like a ROM where this was working to reasonable standard.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted, unlocked, 2GB sd-ext, CM7r2 HBOOT (will likely be swapping this back for stock HBOOT).
Thanks in advance for any replies!
These threads arent really allowed, but ill give you some info.
Go with JB over ICS. I dont think there are any ICS roms actively developed currently, and overall JB has better performance. I havent had video recording work in any JB rom (its not that important for me anyways), but i think a few ICS roms have it working.
You wont have the same stability and performance as GB, but there are still a few good options that i have used as daily drivers:
Paranoid Android 4.3 by WoH
ChromiumROM (CM10.1) by me
Evervolv by nikez
Thanks very much for the reply and apologies for posting a 'not allowed' thread. *slaps wrist*
I have already DLed Chromium so will give that a try first. It was failing to install but then I realised that's cos of my HBOOT so going to sort that first and then get Chromium installed.

Yep, most jb roms need stock hboot to fit their large system sizes, however you can generally slim them down yourself to get them running on data++ hboot. I'll probably release a slimmed version of chromium ROM soon.

I noticed that you released build 11 last night so I flashed that and all looks to be working really great so far. Very impressed with the ROM, appears to be stable from my limited testing. Had one issue where it got stuck on the widgets screen and wouldn't show homescreen but was fine after a restart and hasn't reoccurred since.
Another mod I made was to set the pixel density to 200 which works really well on the desire, can get a lot more on the screen.
Is the issue with the video camera pretty fundamental and unlikely to get resolved?
Still amazed that JB can run so well on such an old phone.
Thanks for the rom, sterling work!

Had one issue where it got stuck on the widgets screen and wouldn't show homescreen but was fine after a restart and hasn't reoccurred since.
Another mod I made was to set the pixel density to 200 which works really well on the desire, can get a lot more on the screen.
Is the issue with the video camera pretty fundamental and unlikely to get resolved?
Still amazed that JB can run so well on such an old phone.
Thanks for the rom, sterling work!

It's my orange san diego that is overheating, although my desire has previously over-heated but that was fixed under warranty. I might try taking it apart and cleaning the contacts as that guide suggests though in the hope of getting it working again.
Been running chromium for a few days now and it's been very stable. Only issue I've had is the error 'google text to speech engine has stopped' keeping on popping up. It is a bit sluggish but I expected that really and I do have a lot of apps installed.
