Could someone explain to me why in Desire HD Rom on HD2 does not work the camera?
because the source for the phone hasnt been released by htc yet.
thanks for the quick response ... :-(
I hope will be resolved soon ... I love having a good android on my HD2!
i always wanted to know this also so like when would the release comes?
there's the same problem on other devices such as htc desire, no camera with desire hd rom too, no?

I'm normally not one to flame newbs but it HAS been explained ad nauseum and is easily found in ANY Desire HD rom thread within the first or second page. it doesn't even take a thorough search or drudging through a 50 plus page thread to find the answer to this question.
Mods - please close
Mods.
Please close - another thread that should not have been started wasting more bandwidth.
OP - Please take the time to search the forums first. Whilst XDA members are here to help it does get a bit frustrating when questions such as this are asked time and time again.

I really hate when a member who has alotta posts', always has something smart to say when a "newbie" asks a question. It's not necessary! While the post may be a waste of "space", the question is still relevant. Don't forget, "YOU" was once a newbie also!!! A simple answer could've ended this thread already. Many of us aren't as tech savvy as others, thats why forums like this was created. If it wasn't for "newbies" these forums wouldn't continue to exist. Show some respect to all, whether ur a "moderate" "senior member" or a "newbie". Thank you!
we had the same issue back in the G1 days when eclair was first ported. someone took the time to reverse engineer the camera driver to get it to work in eclair. either we get the source for it, or someone has to take good chunk of time to figure it out.

Just curious, is there some reason why a camera driver from another build won't work in the Desire HD ROM?
Ditto, I agree. Let's be accommodating and helpful.

Because its not a camera "App" issue. More of a driver issue.

What prevents the use of the camera driver from a working Android build? Is it not a ko module?
If it were that easy, dont you think darkstone would have just included in the first beta itself

No, people are not getting mad just because he asked a question. Its the fact that he did not do any research at all (Which is a huge rule on this site). The answer to this question has been answered in just about every Desire HD-2 thread. Also because this particular forum "HD2 Android Development" is not for Q&A. I've seen a thread about this exact question start like once a week, and it always gets moved.

Anyone one else think that a sense 3.0 rom on the sgs2 would just be sexy?
I haven't heard of one in the works or even if its possible so excuse me if its already been talked about.
Input on this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Even I think this would be immense. I'm buying a sgs2 tomorrow. Can't wait!
For one Congrats man this device is awesome.
And for two, it would just be so smooth on the sgs2. Such a perfect experience I think. And my old device used to be the HTC desire, and I miss it for sure.

Keep fighting the good fight.
If you want sense 3 buy a Sensation not a GS2.
Check out the various benchmarks online between the sensation and the SGS2 and tell me if you want pretty widgets which potentially slow the phone down or a much faster phone which is slicker and more fluid.
No brainer if you ask me.

Guys, no need to act liks a$$ holes. What the guy who post this simply means is that the excellent functionality of sense 3.0 coupled with the intense power of SGS II will yield a really good phone
i have an SGS II coming from desire HD. Touch wiz is ****, it does not even support scrollable widgets, and no other launcher like ADW to auncher pro offer the same graphics or functionality of sense
whether you agree or disagree, i think that to the majority of android users, i can safely say that sense surpasses any other launcher
It might not be possible to port it now to SGS II, but hell yea, i would love to see it on the SGS II
I have also noticed senior member on this forum treating noobs like ****. Guys dont be J&rks and remember you were noobs before
Double post lol ! I'm such a noob.

Well said I'd much rather see a new thread, than see an old thread reincarnated just to discuss something. Maybe it's against interweb or forum code to make new threads to chat, but personally seeing threads with a million pages is a million times worse than seeing a question asked again and again and saves on having to check the forum day after day seeing no new threads because newbs are afraid to post for fear of being flamed (yes im a newb)
ps. I'd love to see sense on galaxy s 2 as touchwiz is pants, and so are Launcher Pro, Go launcher, ADW and the rest. Sense is about the only decent launcher out there in my book, but the HTC phones don't cut it anymore.
Biff.
So I've been trying to investigate whether Sense will be ported to SGS2 - lucky for me, I didn't create a thread.
I must say, I've read through a dozen thread and all the responses are: "use the search", "don't be a noob" etc etc.
Nowhere did I actually find any info on whether Sense could be / would be ported...
This is a community forum and there are a lot of people who are newbies - to Android, to smartphones... Does that make them stupid? Does that give the "clever" members the right to rip them off? Come on people, surely it's easier to just ignore a thread then to have pages upon pages upon pages of ripping people off?
I love the work the XDA community does but some members are just arrogant and obnoxious - instead of helping people to be less of a "noob", some of you rather just put them down and so they will always be noobs.

Hey boet,
if you searched the forum for 'htc sense' you would find 18+ threads asking if sense is/was/will be ported to sgs2. Every day there is someone making a new thread , asking the same thing.
The senior members aren't being dicks, they are trying to keep the forums clean and tidy.
And why does everything have to be spoonfed? Haven't you heard that old proverb( i hope im not struck by lightning, thankfully i'm not on the highveld): give a man some fish, he will eat today. teach him to fish, he can feed himself?
If they dont try and find out for themselves, and post on the relevant topics, then they will always be noobs who cant help themselves. You are correct, 99% of people here were noobs once. but by reading threads/posts by more knowledgable members, you begin to learn.
Me? I'm still a noob. I dont know anywhere near as much as I would like to. Which is why I read what people post(when I have the time).
The answers are out there, if people actually use the search function. I would far rather see 4-5 threads, with a few pages of relevant information, than 20 threads, with 4-5 posts, all asking the same thing. Why does the same information have to be reposted every other day just because someone cant be arsed to read?
As for htc sense being ported over, its possible, like anything is, but bearing in mind that sense still isnt working 100% properly on the sgs1, its probably not likely in the near future. which is an answer which has been posted more than once, and not by me, I just did a search and read it(more than once, and in more than one thread).
Most xda members will help you, no questions asked. They just expect you to put a little effort in, instead of whining or being too lazy to use the search function or too lazy to read a thread or not being arsed to even post full details of their problem.
Nevermind about even reading the stickies which have useful information.
Sorry about the rant, but come on.
I honestly doesn't get it.
Why does everybody hate TouchWiz? And from what is seems on this thread, everyone loves HTC Sense
I think TouchWiz is awesome and looking good, unlike the HTC Sense which is effin ugly!
I am a noob, as a noob i know i have to use the search function so i dont gey flamed if i ask a question, but some people are truly annoying with their "use search bar" and thier xda noob video. ive seen some people just post the video on every.qurstion ive read, instead of doing that, what harm could come from just answering the question? You want to keep the forum clean? The question is already made, why not answer it again. Do you know how many pages are in the sgs 1 forum? Imagine going page through page just to get to the last one and see that the question you wanted answered just has some random guy posting the xda noob video.
I think all we noobs, including me (i may be a long time android user but i always want to learn more) should just get together and start making all our questions, even if theyve been answered before just to piss off all the people that post the xda video!! Just as it pisses me off when i see them answer a valid question with a stupid video.
I can just imagine some people, they must have the xda video ready and must go searching all day for noob questions just so he can put the video an laugh to himself.
If you see this is another htc sense kn gs2 question why do you bother looking inside. Just skip on by and let someone who actually wants to help answer the question. You are just making it harder to go through the question with a worthless video.
Im pretty sure some random guy is going to come and quote my rant and post the xda video, and im probably just going to laugh at the time he spent reading this just to paste a stupid url.
Sorry for the rant, but i am really annoyed by all this, and as i said before, to all noobs, just post your questions, someone will be willing to help, most of them will just send you a video url, but there are still some people that remember they were noobs.
The Q&A is for questions and answers so just deal with it!!

Second why are all these new guys over clocking to 1.9 and expect their phone to be stable? Don't they read the forum of the kernel they flashed? Or just rush to general or q&a and post freezing problems. People you will get very good support if you post in the kernel you use or Rom your kernel came with the developers keep their eyes on that thread.
When did thunderbolt general become Verizon support if you have a network drop, don't make a thread for each city it is down in, call Verizon don't think every issue has to do with a radio or your kernel or your Rom.

"How do I install this? (install directions mentioned in the OP)"
"This alpha/beta/testing software sure is buggy / why is feature x broken in this? (broken issue mentioned in the OP for said software) (followed by vague description/no description of what is broken without a logcat by user asking question)"
"What's the best ROM / Rooting Method?"
"Help! I installed a non-root user RUU on top of my rooted phone"
"When will we get x / what is the eta for x?" (x = gingerbread|ics|next phone|new rom|etc)
Asking a question already answered in the stickied common questions / noob guide in the Q/A forum.
Go look at the PRL thread in the Incredible General forum. I get reamed out and called every name in the book.... But I was the only one that produced an answer! I'm about to the point of letting these idiots twist in the wind. I'm tired of fools that can't find the answers that are basically fed to them. And if a mod has a problem with that frustration, oh well... Do the right thing and ban stupid, not me.
I like when someone throws an off topic question in a thread and others bite. Then if you are interested in the original topic you have to filter through all the garbage to see if any progress or good information was actually posted.

or asking about how to fix an issue that was asked just 2-3 pages back when it really shouldn't be asked in the topic thread at all (post it separately in q/a). This is why developers don't reply to their threads much. They just get to be a mess and they give up.
I just ignore those.... It's easy, everyone should try it !

The thought "help those who help themselves" always comes to mind when I see those posts !
Ya my other favorite one is when they ask which rom is the best.
I feel like asking them, so if I tell you to jump off a bridge will you do it?
If not, they why would you take what I say as the best rom as the gospel?
Roms are such a subjective thing. Some people like some things some like others.
My first Android phone was a G1, so I was pretty used to the "stock" experience. Even when I rooted, I stuck pretty much with Cyanogen.
When I got the bolt and realized Cyanogen was not really "available", I got into BAMF and I gotta tell you, they did a pretty impressive job with sense.
Before I would have just laughed at someone if they said sense was the way to go, but I really kinda like it now. So I know that even my viewpoint has changed somewhat.
I don't understand why these people cannot just go out and make up their own mind about which rom they like by just flashing them and trying them out. If they don't like it, they just nandroid back to what you had before they flashed the new rom.
I wonder if they all look like lemmings? Hmmmm.
I get so tired of people running AOSP ROMs creating new topics and stating in just about every AOSP ROM thread that they can't get a lock on their GPS...
Drunk texted from my CM7 Bolt
[RANT]Agreed. Google is my best friend. If I don't know how to do something when I cook my Rom, Google. When I need to know something about linux, Google.
STOP ASKING WHAT THE BEST ROM! THERE ISN'T A BEST ROM!!

Can someone help me Do the performance Fix for stock 2.2.2 On 351 , i have streakmod , i tried getting the file 3.1.5 and did install it , but my dell goes into bootloop wen i restrt , plz can anyone guide Me
Well, if you actually had read the thread where you pulled the performance fix from you would have known that the performance mods only work on ROMs 309, 315, and 318. It's absolutely no surprise that your Streak bootloops when you install the performance mod, since you're replacing a newer kernel with an older one. There are no performance mods for any ROM newer than 318, so do not install the performance mod.

Man, u wrote all that , u should hve said yes or no , can anyone tell me can I flash stuff in stock rom , and frm which roms I can come bck to stock through the recovery image that I made using streakmod
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Answering your last question first, a nandroid backup will restore the Streak to the way it was the moment you did the backup, with the exception of the baseband and amss. Those two things are only restored with an official Dell ROM. So it should not matter what ROM you switch to, though I recommend caution if you go use StreakDroid 2.x.
What stuff are you looking to flash in a stock ROM? If you have StreakMod as your recovery you can flash from it, and are in fact supposed to when rooting the Streak, which I noted in your other thread. So it is possible to add stuff to a stock ROM using StreakMod.
Finally, addressing your comment which I believe was directed at me, virtually everything you have asked has been addressed in other threads, which is why in your other thread (already linked) I gave you a link to the sticky and told you to read up. I'm not here to hold your damn hand.
P.S. Proper English please? "You", not "u". "Please", not "plz". Typing like that shows us that you're in a hurry to do something that requires some time and effort. Not to mention it's f**king more difficult to read than if you spelled it out like you were taught in grade school.

Then you need to do it again "friend", the answers are there, were they not there then myself and most of the other users here wouldn't know how to tinker with our devices either
So bottom line, search some more, read some more, as you can see, no one is willing to spoon feed you the answers that are out there in 100s of other posts and threads

He's just like another noob I dealt with recently. He wanted to upgrade his Streak from 2.2 to 2.2.2. So, like a good egg I provide him the link to the sticky and mention to him to use the search engine next time. The response was essentially this:
"why is this section here if all you're going to tell me is to google stuff?"
Then as a follow up, the noob comments that he's looking for a "professional's answer". After I got a laugh out of that last one and explaining to him exactly how things work around here, he tries to apologize for "hurting" me and finishes up with this gem:
"I want to update my Dell and nothing more. If you can help me or want to help me then give me the right links." (emphasis mine)
While my reply was rather civil in that I told him if he wanted one on one tech support I charge for it, what annoyed me almost as much as his original reply to my posting the sticky was him begging for "the right links". Begging for the right links isn't going to change the fact the links are in the sticky! It's no wonder that developers are leaving this site in droves when they see drivel like what is in this thread from people who don't want to take the time and energy to learn about their damn devices so they can actually do the work themselves!

He's just like another noob I dealt with recently. He wanted to upgrade his Streak from 2.2 to 2.2.2. So, like a good egg I provide him the link to the sticky and mention to him to use the search engine next time. The response was essentially this:
"why is this section here if all you're going to tell me is to google stuff?"
Then as a follow up, the noob comments that he's looking for a "professional's answer". After I got a laugh out of that last one and explaining to him exactly how things work around here, he tries to apologize for "hurting" me and finishes up with this gem:
"I want to update my Dell and nothing more. If you can help me or want to help me then give me the right links." (emphasis mine)
While my reply was rather civil in that I told him if he wanted one on one tech support I charge for it, what annoyed me almost as much as his original reply to my posting the sticky was him begging for "the right links". Begging for the right links isn't going to change the fact the links are in the sticky!

Yeah I remember reading through that, I LMAO at that one... and you are right, devs are leaving XDA in droves, not just from the Streak but from all the device threads because the moderators are more concerned with the language we use to address the noobies than doing THEIR job as moderators and keeping the newbies in line, we the experienced users don't need any moderation, it's the noobs that need the guidance and should be repremanded for posting NEW threads about worn out subjects...
Sorry guyz My Bad

Even I occasionally make boneheaded posts, such as asking what the Dell Settings Provider.apk actually does and whether I actually needed it. No one answered the thread, I believe because it was thought to be an obvious question that didn't need an answer. So I experimented and deleted the file. I didn't have any issues, which is a good thing. I did however search before I made the post and did not find anything either.
We did not have the benefit of the sticky nor The Manii's list of safe to remove apps to make it easier on the noobs. There is nothing wrong with noobs asking questions, but you know full well that we're getting too many noobs lately running to the site for help after doing something wrong instead of searching for the answer before posting. That kind of BS needs to stop.
To the OP: keep asking questions, but make sure you use the XDA-Developers search engine instead of Google to find things before you post. It works better.
hi
what is the fastest rom for galaxy 2?
kernel?
what do u think is faster? the stock rom / others 2.3.5 or the JB 4.1.2 / 4.2.2 ? im not sure..
thanks
A red one.
its not allowed to post such thing look at this post
why its not good? i dont understand
its a forum, no? .. if not here, so where i should ask that..???
i really not have the time (even if i really want) to try all and compare all the roms out there, even a few.. i just want some answers, and install myself to save some money, and continue with my life, just all
im sure the people here are very and much more experience than me, my knowlege is 0 in all this.. and again, no time unfornutally..
so because of that i think its the place to ask here.. how it can be wrong??? .. forums are made for Q&A..
i would like and be happy to get answers for my question,
thanks
With respect, if you 'can't be bothered'......why should we?....
And as previously mentioned.....asking 'which ROM' is against XDA rules......
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Yes this is a forum. You don't ask it here, since it's against the rules. Simple.
Dont have time? Hardly believe it, dont take more than 2-3 mins to flash a ROM. (downloading takes a while, but you can just download and do anything else until download it finished)
Money?! Dont understand...
Everyone has 0 experience in the beginning, and letting other people do the hard work wont make the 0 go up. (which it should!)
Once again, you cant ask here as it is AGAINST THE RULES! It is not hard to understand, really!
Hope your happy about this cause it's probably the best answer you're gonna get!. (until mods close it)
Mod Edit
Best ROMS/kernels are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
