[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubim:
After 1 month with Desire HD, I think i like it but there are these 3 things that are really annoying:

1. Camera:

Very limited functionality/adjustment.

Small sensor (my guess) -> can't get a good picture of moving subject (I am not talking about lighting fast moving subject, just for example baby movement).

2. Video:

Very limited file formats can be played back.

Third party players (rockplayer, vplayer) can play some but still not all, especially mkv...very very very laggy.....

Lagging can also occasionally occur during playback of some avi/divx too?

3. Sound/speaker:

This is the worst.

I am comparing the above with the Samsung Galaxy S........quite disappointed.

so here is my 2 cents question:

Does anyone know whether a firmware upgrade can fix the above issues or it's more like a hardware things?

Is it possible that we can use/port the Samsung Galaxy S Camera/Video/Sound firmware/apk on the Desire HD to improve it??????

Many Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
There are quite a few threads round here regarding the camera. Have you tried adjusting the ISO? Having it set on "Auto" is a recipe for disaster, the same goes for the white balance.

Check to see if there are any OTA updates available.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seamus24:
You are right. The Desire HD is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. Unfortunately Telus gave it to me as a replacement while my Galaxy S is being repaired.

Sound is godawful. I hooked up my quality headphones to the Desire HD and can't get any real volume. The sound is completely garbled and half the lyrics are not understandable. I've tried stock settings, using the Dolby and using SRS as well as playing with the equalizer. The sound just plain sucks. It is totally unusable. I'm not an audiophile so I'm perplexed that nobody else has mentioned these issues. Or perhaps there is a solution I'm not aware of.

Second really annoying problem is that I can't delete hotmail emails... they just pop back on the next sync. What gives?

I seriously don't understand how HTC expects to thrive when they put out crap like this. Doesn't anybody believe in quality anymore? Maybe my expectations are just too high, the iphone JUST WORKS and Samsung's Galaxy was a beautiful implementation of Android. Guess I'll just have to wait for my Galaxy to get back or buy the new SGSII. Having an original HTC Diamond and now the problems with the Desire HD, I swear this company should be bankrupt. I'll never pay for one of their phones again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpandaw:
I agree with seamus24. My friend has Samsung galaxy S II and checked the sound quality. It really better then Desire HD. Is HTC listening ????
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
Sorry to admit as an avid user of HTCs...the DHD camera is not as good as the Desire, just remember that megapixels is not everything...noise control on the Desire is excellent, overall producing better photo than DHD. I jumped the ship after playing with the SGS2...camera is very low noise, super sharp...also offered 1080 recording as well...

The video player is limited by copyrights and licenses for format playbacks etc and obviously hardware of the DHD. Not to blame, in most cases it can play converted 720 videos without too much issues with the exclusion of MPEG formats IIRC.

Speakers, well that was **** a bit ****, I still firmly believe that the Desure was a better phone, the audio quality on it I believe was better, in comparison again to the SGS2, well there is no competition...DHD<Desire<SGS2

@OP, even if porting was possible, I fear that the archilles heels is based on the actual hardware of the camera, processor (CPU and GPU) and speaker. All of which cannot be changed or upgraded. There is only so much firmware updates can enable slight improvements. Whilst CPU can be OCed, I believe I read from fellow DHD DEV LordClockan that the GPU on the DHD cannot be OCed. Speakers, even with the enhancement from BEATS, very little can be done through software equalisers...trust me, there are people *****ing and moaning about how bad the SGS2 sound quality in comparison to SGS at the SGS2 XDA Forum...they dont actually know how bad DHD is then...but still...borrowing a DHD at the moment...missed SenseUI hahaha...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w3bhax:
I'm assuming that's a blu-ray rip you're trying to play on your device? or just another .mkv file (for the quality of picture you get on it)

I tried playing 'Avatar' 2.26GB - blu-ray ripped to a mkv file. Had to take the battery out to restart the phone. I work for a telco, so I tried it on several other DHDs - same result.

Worked like a charm on the SGSII though. I'm assuming, the DHD can only do so much. :(
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
Hi guys,

I have replaced Froyo status icons with some brand new Gingerbread and so the new theme is born :p

It is tested to work on SP-FroYo, SPQRom and on nFinity ROM.

If you use some other ROM please do not flash this. Instead you could upload your framework-res.apk from /system/framework and I'll try to make it work on your ROM too.

Caution: Everything that you do is at your on risk and I can not be blamed for any problems that might happend to you or your phone.

This is how it looks with new icons:

I hope you like it.

In order to install it download zip file below for a specific ROM that you use, transfer it to your SD card and flash it from recovery.

SP-FroYo ROM Download

SPQRom Download

nFinityROM Download or Download v2 by arturo025 with few more modified icons

At the end I would like to thank arturo025 for his help.
[Click Themes and Apps] brooklyn2001:
not working on SPQRom-0.7
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
Did you get some errors while flashing it or nothing changed after install?
[Click Themes and Apps] brooklyn2001:
Can't boot device
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
It works fine for me on SP-FroYo. And it is only tested on this ROM.

You could upload framework-res.apk from your ROM and I'll take a look at it.

It is in /system/framework
[Click Themes and Apps] brooklyn2001:
this is my framework

View attachment 464977
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
I can see that your framework-res.apk contains 88 more icons than mine on SP-FroYo ROM. i'll try to edit your file with new icons if I have some free time tonight.
[Click Themes and Apps] goran95:
when i flash this theme,i cant boot my phone the boot animation has non stop preview.can someone help me pls?
[Click Themes and Apps] brooklyn2001:
You need recovery old flash
[Click Themes and Apps] goran95:
i don't understand?
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
Which ROM do you have on your phone?
[Click Themes and Apps] goran95:
infinity v1.13...what to do?
[Click Themes and Apps] brooklyn2001:
Boot device to recovery mode and flash you original (infinity) rom
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
You don't need to flash your ROM again.

Thankfully I have nFinity ROM 1.13 so I extracted original framwork-res.apk from it.

Just flash this update from recovery and it should work.

If it doesn't work you'll have to flash your ROM again.
[Click Themes and Apps] goran95:
and after that,does i need to just flash this gingerbread theme in recovery mod and reboot?thanks
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
No, just flash update from previous post and reboot your phone. You should be back to normal then.
[Click Themes and Apps] arturocr:
Great work!

Excellent work! Congrats! :D
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
Thanks Arturo. I am glad you like it.

Now you can download specific versions for SPQRom and nFinity ROM. I couldn't test them so it is not proven that they actually work but they are build by modifying framework-res.apk files from those ROMs. I hope that someone is going to test them.

If you use some other ROM accept those three and you would like Gingerbread status icons on your phone too please upload here framework-res.apk file which is located in /system/framework and I'll modify it as soon as possible.
[Click Themes and Apps] arturocr:
Hi lukic,

I flashed your version for nFinityROM, however some icons were missing, so I fixed it. You can find that new version as an attachment.

Here is a screenshot:

Thanks very much in advance
[Click Themes and Apps] HazeGotJuTwisted:
Can Some one tell me how to get this ROM on the LG Optimus M for metro PCS? please i got Rom Manager, and im rooted from 4share... Please help
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
You are in the wrong forum section. We are talking here about HTC Tattoo, not about LG Optimus M.

But if you want to change your status bar icons you need to edit framework-res.apk file which is located in system\framework\framework-res.apk

Make sure you backup first because if you mess something your phone might get into boot loop.
[Click Themes and Apps] Mello^:
Can I ask if this can be ported to my Samsung Galaxy Fit? I know this is only available to HTC Tattoo at the moment but is it possible? I have a Galaxy Fit running on Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 but it doesn't have the green notification icons :/

Thanks in advance!

-Mello^
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
i am sure this could be ported to any rooted Android phone. As said in my previous post you need to edit framework-res.apk file which is located in system\framework\framework-res.apk
[Click Themes and Apps] Mello^:
Thanks a lot for the quick response mate! I'm not sure as to how to edit the framework-res.apk

my Galaxy Fit is rooted, and I don't have the gingerbread icons. If you don't mind, can you edit my framework-res if you ever had the time? I'll attach it here.

-Mello^
[Click Themes and Apps] lukic:
You can upload it but I can't promise you that I'll be able to edit it soon. I have exams now so I don't have time for that now. Maybe next weekend.
[Click Themes and Apps] Mello^:
That's alright mate, I'm pretty sure I can wait as I just really want to have the gingerbread status icons.

Here's my framework-res.apk below, I just have no idea how I can change the icons and I also don't have the gingerbread status icons. I wonder if the color can be changed, I like it to be cyan like the Icecream Sandwhich. Maybe it needs a bit tweaking on PS. uh, after you edited my framework-res, I'll just put it back on the system folder right?

Thanks a lot in advance mate!
