Today I tried the Hero, and I must say that it makes the Magic just as you would expect. I think this ROM is that we should concentrate all our efforts in order to make it usable.
i think that yes, it is the best rom ive ever tried, but it is too slowly and crashes frequently. htc apps and widwegts are also incredible!
one quesetion. someone have notice that all roms do not let see youtube videos in high quality. Original youtube app from vodafome let me select high quality, in this case no.. and there are great differences!

I don't have this youtube issue. When I watch at a video, in menu pop up it ask me if I want to see it in normal res.
I'm with v2 Rogers rom.
I think that hero is the way... cool interface and widgets but it needs more machine.

If you have a high speed connection like wifi or hsdpa, youtube plays in high quality.

are the hardware specs on the hero that much more robust than on the Magic? I should look that up I suppose....
Regardless, I would think that HTC would eventually want to supply the Rosie UI to as many devices as possible, as they did with touchflo 3d when it came out.
I reinstalled Hero yesterday evening as I wanted to give it a try.
I used nk02 version cause my sdcard is very slow for handling the Apps. It's the 8GB sdcard that came with the Magic. I learned the last days that it's class 2 and, in order to have the Apps running properly in the sdcard, we need a class 6.
My new sdcard is on the way and i will be able to double check this.
Anyway, after installing the rom i did several optimization things. I just went to the Dream forum and use what the people are doing. Basically this is what i did:
- Hero SpeedUp v2.0 script. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521421
From here I took the dexopt-wrapper and the optimize.sh script in order to create .odex files for every apk.
- Rosie/Launcher Toggle. Idea here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521877
But the procedure I use is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3886560&postcount=23
This means that I disable the Rosie UI and use for normal daily use the standard home screen.
Someone will ask why would I want to have Hero when I disable the Rosie UI. Simple: I can switch back to Rosie whenever I want if I want to play with the new home screen.
But, If I want the phone to be responsive and not that laggy, it's better to disable Rosie. In this way the phone works quite well and I still have all the advantages that the new Hero firmware has to offer me:
- Twitter and facebook integration
- new calendar
- all the new menus in contacts, dialer, etc.
- new camera
etc, etc, etc.
I also read that if I just keep Rosie without any widget, it will still run smooth but i haven't tried it yet.
So overall I'm happy of my decision to go for Hero again (I haven't tried Rogers, I moved from Ion to Hero directly) and I will also support the idea to focus on this firmware.
It's really looking good.
P.S: I will also copy this post in the Hero forum as I think it belongs there too.

This didn't work for me.
When I clicked on home (after clearing defaults) it just went back to the home screen (rosie).

Can you see inside the Application Management menu both apps? Rosie and Home?
If you don't have Home, even if you clear defaults from Rosie, it will go back to Rosie as there would not be any other alternative.
So, can you confirm me that you can see both apps?
P.S: Just reminder: after you push Launcher to the phone, you need to reboot.
Doh! rebooted, works now. Thanks
hello. i have little problem with camera in miui rom, latest version. i just bought desire s so i flash from stock rom. this lag isn t only in miui camera but in camera fx too, so i think it is in all camera apps.any ideas?
Which kernel are you using? I used to find it pretty swift using the Tiamat kernel.
Settings > About Phone >
Should have something along the lines of Cyanogen or Tiamat, I'm guessing its Cyanogen, only because I know most of the AOSP ROMs use it.
2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod [email protected] *1
Try switching some settings off even, but if not, definitely try the tiamat kernel.
http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_saga/
i have disabled some graphic features, flashed that kernel but still lagging
Give Galnet a shot, with a combination of Tiamat.
http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/weekly-builds/
It was the one combination I ran on the Desire S flawlessly, and thoroughly enjoyed.
didnt help too. i read somewhere that this lagging is on some older desire s. very bad to shoot photos but possible, but making video is such a pain i love this rom so i will wait if some sollution appear later. thx anyway
edit: not old but new desire s could have this problem
No offence, but I wouldn't hold your breathe. The HTC Desire S probably won't get the attention it needs, as it doesn't really stand out from the crowd.
Awesome device, but over shadowed by many of the giants that are approaching.
I've never had any problems with the camera being slow on mine. But I don't know what you would consider appropriate. At the same time though, mine is currently an expensive alarm clock.
some new thoughts. it doesnt lag like about 1 second after start camera app. it doesnt lag neither when i set timer . for 5 counting seconds is camera smooth. it was also quite smooth when i opened camera and i received force close window about app Talk. so if it could work good at least in 5 seconds count there must be way how to make it works.
hi guys! Same problem. I bought the brand new Desire S. Make it S-off, root, 4ext recovery.
i flash the latest MIUI and the same problem here with camera and video playback!
i figured how it lags - when animation of ui is running - video playback is running to. When animation of ui elements stops - video playback (and camera playback) stops too!!! Try to touch the elements of user interface when camera stops!
It seems that in new models of desire video driver works differently.
I tried to flash all versions of stock roms - the problem was gone.
But with latest cyanogen kernel, all versions of tiamat kernel i got same problem!
It is only one custom kernel with this lags gone - it is UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14_OC2016_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_EXT4_2WCR_VDD_SAGA3.zip
But with miui and this kernel wifi stops working normally and video playback to, but camera works great!
May be some specialists in this questions make differences in above kernels and differentiate the problem...
i am wery disappointed in this device because i cannot get normally working any custom roms! ( only stock... but stock sucks!! want MIUI!!
there are another guys with same problem: ht_p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37785-camera-bug/
P.S. Sorry for bad english, i teach it bad in my russian school
Yes, I have the same problem with a brand new DS. I reported this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20497676&postcount=559
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20510357&postcount=562.
It is happening with CM7 and MIUI Roms, the latter obviously have CM7 core.
No solution known to me. Can't take Sense bloat anymore, but at least camera works fine.
Edit:
On top: I have just bricked the device (wrong EMMC, can't write system, data, cache, hboot)!
Maybe someone (as I bricked my DS) can have a look at the new CM7 build by Jorgen (can be found in the thread I linked above)? Should have implemented new! HTC kernel sources. The camera might work now.

other ideas?
It seems that this thread is more active so i write my thoughts here too....
The problem with the lagging camera is only on new HTC Desire S (i think), because i got my desire s a half year before and on this one it's working. With the new HTC Desire S of my girlfriend it isn't working.
So i found a alternative, for those who like to take some pictures and capture some videos. The first one is (pictures only) a free app called pudding camera, it has a nice UI and it's working. The second one is (pictures and videos) a paid app (2,50€ i think) called Angel Camera which allows you to take pictures and videos. Oh and to make high quality pictures you have to select fine shot or something like this.
The problem is, i don't think that the (only) problem is the camera driver because watching videos is also a pain. Try to watch for an example youtube videos they will bug as much as the camera preview. In a few other apps like daily ... workout the videos are lagging like hell too.
And like it was said before it's working if you keep some UI interaction up all the time. For example press menu all the time, you will see it's running fluently. The same is working in the camera app too.
Perhaps a problem with hardware acceleration? The drivers (can't) be the problem because third party apps are working without that lag?
I hope someone more experienced can join this thread.
Perhaps superkid or proxuser or mdeejay, ...
yeah. xD there are lots of very experienced guys in these forums.
Thx.
Hmmm. Apart from the fact that I managed to replace my bricked device and now own a DS whose camera thankfully works, my experience was totally different.
I certainly tried 3rd party camera apps: Vignette, Camera 360, Nemus Camera and Camera Zoom FX. None worked, all of them showed the uber-laggy preview.
So at that time I assumed the issue involves indeed a new driver, API or whatever, a deeper problem not to be solved by using a certain camera app.
@mikep1993: Would you please try one of the mentioned apps, if possible (there are free versions)? And, which CM version are you on?

I tried other apps but they are lagging as well, i found those two which won't lag. I can't tell anything more detailed but i know those too apps are working. Perhaps they are programmed a bit different or something like this, but yeah.
We are using Galnet MIUI 1.12.31 so the newest build. Like i said before it's working with ICS again. Had no change to try a MIUI ICS build but perhaps we are lucky.
Now what should I throw my phone!!!!!!!! why no one solves the problem!!! I do not want to sit on stock firmware. This problem 100% in kernel, let anyone else will this kernel.
Today there is a new CM7 version available in the dedicated Desire S thread here at xda. Some changes in camera are introduced. Might be worth checking.
all still. I hope they understand what the problem is not in the camera and problem in hardware video accelerator therefore, the lag in the camera
Hi guys,
Since the AOSP ICS builds I noticed that when the Phone app is not in memory it opens very slow. The next time you open it is almost instant. I thought that it would be fixed in the OTA, and even if it is a little faster it is still quite frustrating sometimes. Tried many roms/kernels and even if in some configurations it open faster, it is still slow.
Since I dont use the Phone that much, almost every time that I use it it is not in the memory and it is slow. Anyone has an idea to fix it, like a hack to make it persistent in the memory?
Thanks.
Bump. Is there a way to keep it in memory ? Maybe giving it a special permission like the launcher will help. I will take a look...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
This is my only problem with ICS - I've tried a few memory management programs to see if I could keep the dialer, or contacts, persistent in memory, but nothing works. When I launch the dialer, the application 'Contacts' ('com.android.contacts', which seems to be the new ICS 'People' app) is shown as an 'active application' in my 'SystemPanel' app off the Market, and as long as that stays as an active app then the dialer usually re-launches straight away when pressed the next time, sometimes with only a small bit of lag if the screen has been of for a minute or two. When the 'contacts' app is shut down by the system, I guess when you open other apps up that need memory, the dialer lags again.
All the time, the process 'Phone' ('com.android.phone') seem to be sitting there as an 'Internal System Process' and seems to be persistent, but that alone doesn't make the dialer launch quickly, the 'contacts' app needs to be active as well.
My observations, but I am not a techie.
actually i recently read a thread here on XDA that addressed this issue. it involved a command on the terminal that allowed you to prioritize certain apps. too bad i can't seem to find that thread anymore!
found it! it involves using the Renice command. you can run it as an init.d script
or demo it out using the prioritzer apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224125) kind thanks to this developer for creating the app. it works great!
all i did, was set the phone and contact app to -20 priority. it loads MUCH faster... try it and report back.
here are more links related to renice

Great, thanks for coming back on this, this sounds interesting - I'm not rooted at the moment, I will look into doing this as I think it would be worth it just to sort out this problem, as well as the other benefits. I will report back with my results!
I decided not to root in order to fix this, I've gone a different way with the dialer - exDialer has a polished looking ICS theme and I installed that to see how it would work, and it works great. It opens up consistently quicker, maybe due to the 'Keep in Memory' option that it has. I haven't had one laggy episode with it yet. Most other third party dialers don't look so good but this has a great ICS look, has smart dial, and a great call history function, and it's free (or you can donate as I did). Worth a look for anyone having similar problems.
I would still go back to the stock dialer if it worked properly, maybe a future update will solve this without having to root.
Hi guys,
an old thread, but i would like to now if there is something new about the "bug" that the Phone app opens slow if it is not in memory.
I'm new to the nexus s and running the newest skank Version.
On my Desire S the phone app opens much faster .
Cheers

One thing to keep in mind is that the Desire S has more RAM.
Mine opens up instantly however. Have you rebooted after installing the rom?
I remember on GB it was instant! On ICS it is indeed very slow. Hopefully JB fixes it...

That's funny because mine doesn't even take a second. :silly:
Same here if not in memory, i can easily notice certain lag on ics roms on my phone, when opening certain apps.
Yeah i did.
Hm Sounds like i have to live with it, or does someone have an alternative way to Set the priority for apps. The one mentioned earlier does Not work for me.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus S mit Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the suggestion to try exDialer. The phone lag was really irritating me and this did the trick. With ics dark theme, it's a perfect complement to bugles beast. Hopefully this will be fixed in 4.1, but till then ...

Here it is! The first part of the Nemesis project, Focal, is already here!
This is just a build I made downloading the source from github.
I will try to update it as new versions progressively come. :laugh:
This isn't my work, say thanks to the CyanogenMod Team instead!!
Sorry for the Google Drive download link, but I apparently can't upload this file as attachment...
UPDATE: It seems to better work on Nexus devices and on AOSP based ROMs. Stock ROMs like Sense, TouchWiz etc. will probably experience problems with this camera.

thanks for compiling!
i have currently a nexus 4 running stock 4.3 unrooted with stock kernel.
this is the first time i tried focal, and here are my impressions:
the preview lags. constantly. no matter what conditions, dark or sunny.
i dont like the interface, even though it has nice ideas, its just too much. im not a big photographer, so for me these features are not that important to me, i much more prefer simplicity, and this is just overwhelming.
i dont really get how the view of the previously taken photos should work, how i can navigate through them and how it can be deleted.
they took a lot of good ideas from the official camera app, but implemented it in the wrong way.
as for picsphere: i dont like that there is no preview, i only see the frame when i already took it. and that i have to manually press the shutter button to take the frame, and its not automatic. they should at least give an option for that.
picsphere rendering is very slow, much faster on stock.
plus it saves all frames of a picsphere as separate photos too, whats that all about?
and wheres hdr mode?
and why is it locked in landscape mode?
so to sum up: i like the idea of having cyanogenmod-developed apps instead of stock, but it still has a loooong way to go to become a considerable option to replace the stock camera app.

Most features work on my sensation.
You can change which of the editing settings you want to appear using the slide-up settings.
Picsphere has previews for me. But I agree the rendering needs work.
HDR works
You can swipe from the left/top to get to gallery and see/edit/delete pictures.
It's not locked in landscape for me either.

EDIT: Looks like I was beat to this project by digitalhigh, check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/app-sense-camera-gallery-m8-rom-t3008262
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong subforum but I can't post to any of the development ones, due to this being my first post (on this account, I think I had an old account but I can't remember). So, hopefully I'm not doing this terribly wrong or anything. However, I do have something a bit interesting that I honestly didn't think would work: HTC Sense's camera and gallery working on CyanogenMod.
I've been wanting to switch back to CM for a while, since my old phone was a Galaxy Nexus. But, I didn't want to have to give up the camera features from HTC Sense. The camera on CM12 absolutely sucks when compared to the HTC Sense camera. I've been looking around for a solution, and every post I found said that getting the Sense camera/gallery to work on an AOSP-based ROM was impossible. I didn't believe that, so I tried getting it to work myself, and figured out that's not really true. None of the apps or libs were modified, they were simply pulled off the latest HTC Sense release.
Current usability
Camera app launches, you can take pictures (+ burst mode works). Gallery also is working mostly.
Current issues
These are still the issues I'm having. If anybody else could help me figure them out, I'd be really happy. I was able to figure out getting this running so far by using logcat.
- Video recording is stuck on very low video quality. MMS (176 x 144)
- Zoe camera is not usable (possibly because of above)
- Manual camera mode crashes the app
- Minor interface bugs
- Probably a lot more

Hello there
Is this list of apks/libs working for AOSP based marshmallow ROM? Like CM13 or Dirty Unicorn. HTC One M8 running Marshmallow with Sense 6 is not smooth enough for me. Really want to switch to ASOP based ROM but HTC Camera is too good to give up. Looking forward for some solution, that would be so awesome.
