Not sure there is a good replacement for it, but I agree, the 3D gallery (which is the normal Android gallery BTW) really does suck. Its slow, tries to be overly bling, and can't even show high res images with full detail. As you say, it suffers from bouts of instability too - it force closes on me when I try loads of different wallpapers about one time out of six.

Hey guys, I'm hoping one of you can help me out !!
Downloaded the WP7Android Contacts app recently (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818607), (Loving it BTW) but have got a couple of niggles, i'm running an unrooted HTC Wildfire on 2.2.1 the top half of the app (the people banner) is taking up half of my screen, is it possible to resize the app at all or do something so it doesn't take up so much space ?
Also when i'm trying to log in to Facebook through it, when i get the permissions page, the 'Allow' tab is right at the bottom of the screen and i can't get to it to press it, has anyone else had this issue ? is there a workaround ?
Please help !! love this app, but can't really do much with it at the moment !!
Hi there
I'm the owner of a LG Optimus 2X
The one feature it miss, is a notification led. There is few program out there to do so, and just did mine as I wasn't satisfied with battery use of others.
So I'm wondering is the O 3D also miss this feature.
And if yes, can someone try my app and tell me if it's working on it ?
//Damn got a HD crash, lost my private key ==> No upgrade possible ==> New App on the market
LGNotification
Thx in advance for your time
Hi i just tried to installing you app but the Optimus 3d came up as uncotpatible and yes this phone has no led notifcation hope this helps you,would be great to see the same app for the 3d.
Ok, like I said it, I got some Hard drive problem
Impossible to upload a new version of the application => So I had to create a new app on the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.c...Notification.Fr
Added missed call
Corrected a bug
doesnt work on my optimus 3D. if you still improve this app, could you add google talk? would be great
Ever since I put senseless 2.0 on my sensation I get a message telling me "you don't have permissions to open the page..." Can't watch videos on ESPN or NFL.com... I don't think its flash related. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks everyone for you knowledge.

Also a noob.
I think my Sensation that I bought 2 weeks ago has Sense 3.0, and I changed a setting so now a green arrow appears on flash stuff, and I click on it if I want it to play, otherwise they dont.
Not of any help to the OP, but Audiheel:
Go to your browser
Menu button
(...) aka more options
Settings
Scroll down to the Advanced configuration section
Look for Enable Plugins
Yours should say "on demand." That's how I use mine also (saves me from seeing flash ads more often than not).
You can just change it to Always on, and you won't have to click on the green arrow for flash to work.
Thanks Bernardos, good to know how to find that setting again. I like it that way as well.
Not sure if I initially did this to save on data usage, or to speed up the page loading, but I like it this way so far.
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
