Would it be possible to port or use the Sense camera in CyanogenMod7? I have heard that it is tootied into the framework to use but I was wondering if any devs would know if this is possible or not.
I DESPISE the stock android camera!!!
Sense Camera
I hope someone can come up with a way to do this as well... Unfortunately, the quality of the AOSP camera pics is what is going to keep me from going back to CyanogenMod
Its possible but I doubt anyone would take the time to do this as it would be a huge headache trying to.make it independent of com.htc.resources.apk
This is quite a shame since the Sense camera app is awesome, compared to stock Android.
A dev named enomther ported over the sense camera for his AOSP based ROM on the nexus one. According to him, it was a huge PITA. A lot of Rosie framework had to be incorporated. I doubt we'd see anyone take that project on.
here is the MIUI camera.............give it a try. it is a little better than stock asop camera, IMO.
flash in recovery.
I love my htc one but never been a fan of anything besides android vanilla. I want to start using a stable cm10.1 as soon as it is ready, but I would really love to keep the camera app. I know its been done before, I had a nexus one and the camera for the desire was successfully ported. Can this even work without sense?

The HTC Camera app not only depends on Sense Framework, but also the custom imaging processor that HTC has built for the One. They have NOT open sourced this driver and won't.
Also, the camera would probably stink pretty bad on AOSP
OK I spent eight hours yesterday figuring out how to root my phone.... Success... I was finally able to figure it out.. Thanks for all the tutorials and posts that helped me do it...
I would love some direction in how to find some cool and neat and SAFE AND STABLE Roms to flash.. Is there a site with roms to choose from?? Any help or suggestions is appreciated....
Thank you again everybody
Just look in the android development section in the international forums. Viper rom is really nice, so is Arhd.

I second ARHD. It depends whether you like sense and want to keep it without all the bloatware, or try something more pure android. I know Google edition ROM is out now, but I like sense too much to try it. Heres some links to arhd and ge.

Ok great thanks for the help.... I just got home from work and can't wait to spend the rest of the day flashing different roms.. Lol. What fun! This is a thousand times better than jail breaking... I was never able to flash different firm wares on an iPhone... This is a thousand times better
Pro tip: almost all roms on here are stable and safe unless they have alpha or beta in the title

Thank you for the "pro tip." I love this place.. I'm running a GPE rom and having fun... I think I want to flash something I can theme with a lot of choices... I'll look around and see if I can find a rom around here that people are theming... Thanks again

For maximum themeing capabilities you can go with any of the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) based roms like Cyanogenmod (CM) AOKP, Vanilla rootbox, Slimbean, etc. They all support custom theming with hundreds uf not thousands of downloadable comaptible theme files in the Google Play store.
They are much more customizable than the GPe roms as well. But be warned, what you gain in customizability and cool factor you may tradeoff in optimal function of the phone features itself, namely camera, sound, call audio quality and BT call/streaming audio reliability.
The reason is because GPe and vanilla android 4.2.2 may look identical on the surface, but are different underneath. The GPe of the One runs on a stock Sense OS heavily modified to look and work like vanilla Android IU, but the underlying OS framework works best with the HTC hardware. While AOSP roms have hardware compatibility issues. You'll see this is a regular issue on those threads. I was using CM until the GPe roms were released. I loved the user options on CM and AOKP but was frustrated by terrible call quality and unstable BT connections. I switched to one of the GPe based roms and I gave up some cool features, but my phone works too well as a phone now to switch back.
Most people using GPe based roms are hoping the developers will adopt and incorporate the cool custom ideas from CM based roms like UI options, themes, adjustable control tile toggles, navigation bar mods, etc.

The Sense version isn't heavily modified to look like Vanilla, its heavily modified to look like Sense. All carriers start with vanilla.
As for the features--because there's a Google Play Edition (GPE). The GPE devices run vanilla android--what we call AOSP, after the Android Open Source Project...which is the project Google created in order to "Open Source" Android, make it available to everyone, and provide for a "Google Experience".
The Google Experience" comes stock on the Google Play Edition devices, and guarantees that the device comes the way Android is/was intended to be, and is designed far better in terms of functionality and usability than the Firmware(s) created by Samsung, HTC, and other manufacturers, which add additional software to run on top of the Google Experience software in order to differentiate themselves from one another, and be able to say that their phones are better. In reality their software might look better and have a few extra features, but it's slower, can take years to update, and in the end, is often more restrictive.
Because these devices require Google certification, all features are required to be in working order. And because Android is so modular, you're guaranteed to have all the drivers, libraries, etc. you need to use all the base hardware available on the device. This means that beats audio, Wifi , Bluetooth, GPS, 3d, Sound, etc. Will all work. The only thing that won't work is the IR blaster on top of the device (for turning your device into a universal remote control to change channels with on your TV, blue ray player, etc. ), and since updates come from the manufacturer and not Google, it's believed that an update may enable this in the future.
By the way, Engadget did a side by side during their review, and stated that picture quality wasn't any better on the Sense version---which means that you'll get great photos on both devices.
That's the reality. Some have made some wild speculations, and have come to some wild conclusions (entirely subjective and disproved), but this all comes from extremely authoritative reviewers...people who are given devices and whos career depends on spending a ton of time analysing these devices, and getting it right.

Thanks but you're misinterpreting what I was saying.

Just so I understand this correctly, if we need to get S-OFF to flash ROMs such as Viper due to it being 1.28, correct?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
nope s-off is not needed. If you still can, obtain the unlock key from HTCDEV.com and use that to unlock your bootloader (this will wipe your phone completely), install a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP, then install either superuser or supersu for the root
Then flash away

Thank you so much! So what exactly does S-OFF allow you to do besides customizing the bootloader?

Restore your phone completely back to pre-rooted stock condition with the stock Sense ruu. Just like when you got it from the store.
Also is required if you want to reflash/update the phone firmware (which will completely wipe out phone data just like unlocking the bootloader).

And do we need to update the firmware to install any of these ROMs?

NO.
Stop being so fixated on updating your firmware. Read more and ask fewer questions.

Hello, planning on buying an XPZ and just wanted to check about the status of the AOSP roms, are they stable enough for a daily usage?
Thanks
Heard zero complains about them... Though why not stick to stock?
Haven't tested the stock yet as I don't have the device, just needed to know about the alternatives.
Who here is waiting for a pure aosp rom. I know I am, i would rather a pure aosp rom then Samsung bloatware. Just sucks that we would lose all the camera goodness. With this device being treble enabled, it would be be long until we see aosp more quickly
I'm certainly in the waiting like since I do not want to pay over a $1000 and enjoy less features than my current nexus 6 had !!
I do not understand why for such expensive phone sams cannot make aosp edition with root preinstalled !!
I don't know why you buy Samsung to flash AOSP rom's on it, you have Pixel, OP, etc. You lose alot of features, AOSP aren't made for Samsung phones, i don't get you guys. AOSP is awesome but not for Sammy.

I have a nexus 6p (which I'm trying to sell at the moment) but I dunno, I prefer aosp roms to the bloat of the big companies, I wouldn't mind too much loosing some features just to have aosp
