The best suggestion I can give you is...
Upgrade to 2.2

haha tried.. decided to go back to old rom and charge my phone every 3 days instead of 1.. but camera fix will be pretty nice though

try a different camera app, such as lgcamera. free on the market, and lets you choose fps and stuff.

Oic, will try that when i fix my sbf first :S

hmm okies lgcamera doesnt really help. couldnt even record. i saw dexter mention about the libraries. Is is possible to port the libraries over and will it work just by porting them?
Thanks

Personnally, I set autokiller with others values by changing install-recovery.sh, I overclock to [email protected] vsel and I modify readahead.kb file with 512 value by install-recovery.sh.
For autokiller, it's good to test with app autokiller first.
I have less freeze in records.
If someone is interest about that, I will post my settings in few days.
EDIT : not with 512 value, 2048 is better

I don't know about install-recovery.sh. It sounds quite useful. Do you have a link?

How to use install-recovery.sh?
Thanks!!

I just modifiy install-recovery.sh files in /etc/ and I add lines :
#To improve sd card read/write
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
#To modify autokiller settings
echo "3072,2048,9216,15360,15360,20480" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
I found tip for sd card in another forum and for memorykiller, app autokiller can do it.
I don't know if it's really improve something a lot but I find it's better so, you can try if you want.

wow yes it helped a lot. much smoother now like khal's rom. Thanks again! =)

For me, it's work but I have again small freeze in records. But I think motorola have to do something to fix record. They sell a phone with a 8MP camera but we can't record without freeze.
PS : If you have problems with games that are in sd card change 2048 by 256,512 or 1024 default value is 128 but if you removes lines its come to 128 by itself.

hmm but the 8MP don't have anything to do with video quality?
but that is right.. it's absolutely a cheek that video quality is that low
edit: or did I understand you the wrong way :??

You understood, I find it's not fair to have a so bad video quality they sell this phone and it's write that it's record at 720p.

If I good understood, install-recovery.sh is a startup script so, if you add command to this file, they are execute at startup but I don't know if it's work with superusers commands.

The best pool size for HD2 rom

Hi ppl,
What is the best size for poolsize ?
What will be if i set it to small value ? to big ?
IS it reasonable to change default PoolSize ?

i would also like to know this, thanks.
everyone has their own opinion but I think the hd2 shouldn't go anywhere near the pool, never mind how big it is.. It might get wet
ok personally I find the pagepool set at 22mb to work best for me...
I set mine to 16, but i might be way off I think its a matter of taste and depends on the ROM.
Can we use the PagePoolChanger.exe that I used on my Diamond roms for the HD2? if it does work it looks like the standard roms are 15meg. Ill probably set mine to around 22meg, the phones got loads of ram and a bigger pool should help things out
is a larger pagepool better for the hd2?
sorry for my ignorance
what is the best and fastest way to set pagepool?
thx...!!!
Can someone post me the link to pool tools ?
I need info about default pool sizes
thanks

So i have 240 ram and 290 rom and only 6M PP ( this is Envirus kitchen default) so i should know what is OEM default PP value.

Depending on the apps you use and so forth. Pagepooling is the ability to change the amount of virtual memory the OS uses to run programs. So for instance, larger more intense apps like tomtom require more memory to run so with a larger set pp, tomtom will open faster.
A general rule of thumb is that larger is better however, there are limits to this as if you go too far, it will work in reverse.
Testing the limits using benchmarks is the most objective way to discern performance improvements and/or limitations. If there are significant improvements between tests, then the nake eyes should be sufficient to conclude.
The HD2 does have some nice memory overhead so it should be fun to see what this baby can do....

thank u soo much for ur reply, it was quite helpful...so would it be wise to set a 24mb pp on a rom for the hd2? (i'm using pandora 1.1 btw)
and here's a pagepool changer for those who want it btw
I'm going to use 18

Xannytech's HD Rom uses 20mb.
The HD2 which has almost double the resources should be able to hit 24mb easy.

OK, thus have you check to see if this happens:
• the higher the PP the lower your Program Memory goes, yes?
If it doesn't change as you change your PP, then it doesn't work.
I believe you however some people think it's working and sometimes it actually doesn't. Do the above test to see if it works...
MORE INFO on PP <<HERE>>
I set my to 0 (auto) and
It has been running very well and very fast.
Will see ...

720P Recording Dropping Frames and Audio Not In Sync

After last update any new EVO 720p camcorder recordings are dropping frames, freezing on frames and the audio is mismatched.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

HTC EVO 4G Camcorder Dropping frames
I've had the problem for over a year. Been to the Sprint store 5 times had hard resets done wiping my phone and no fix. They replaced twice and both new phones do the same thing. Went to the store again today because i'm due an upgrade and they will not do anything but give me another same phone unless I want to get the NEW HTC LTE that would cost $200. They told me that is the only way to fix it. That sounds like crap that I have to pay and switch to another phone to fix the issue.
I can't remember where I read this, but it said to fix this or at least make it better you need to change your read/write speed for your sd card. Haven't tried this myself though, because I don't use the camcorder.

I am using nitrous 1.55 with ca1ne's nitrous kernel. I just ran a few test videos on my own phone. At 128kb r/w under 30 seconds no problem over 30 seconds a little jittery.
After changing r/w speed same thing. I'm sorry that this didn't help out. I was just relaying something I had read, and never tested b/c I don't use the camcorder on my evo. Hope you get this fixed.

Move the readahead speed to 512kb, if it still lags, use 1024kb.. also, it could be the CPU speeds and gov. that's slowing making the video lag.

Testing HD2 camera tweak....RESULTS

applied the tweaks to camera and camcorder in registry, applied leo speed overclock.....result = this video, which is this video....can even choose HD!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stfjwW6qWsQ
BUT, took out SDHC Class 4 card, no leo speedoverclock, took away reg mods and got this.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrgUntwFjQ
bit of a difference I reckon!
Matt
Can you still make captures longer then 5 minutes ?
What are the tweaks exactly ?
Was that a staffy?
oh my god! thats amazing >.<
can u tell us what tweaks exactly u did? really want this too :3
Yeh would love to know the tweaks you used, also did you overclock the phone or was it just with autoscaling off?
What settings you used?
Its hard to tell as the subject, lighting etc are different
The 2nd video is indoors and will always look inferior.
Oh, and do the gardening.
First video is just up-sampled and it's not a true high definition and it's still 4:3...

and u have to say, its really nice, not?^^
Here you go. In attachment you can find REG file created by me. It increase recorded video bitrate to 4500kbits. You need to have good memory card. I have Sandisk Ultra class @6 8GB
There is this movie on YouTube.

Unfortunely after send it to YouTube quality of movie was degraded a lot, so here is original file: http://hotfile.com/dl/53774968/26c7ab6/VIDEO0436.mp4.html

awsome, ty.
but i got only a class 4 SDHC card, u think it will work too? ill try it today, hope it works fine O.O
EDIT: searched by myself now in the leo tips and tricks thread. realized that my cleanex rom already has everything enabled xD... i just love this rom xD
never recoreded much, so never noticed xD but good to know xD
Try. There is not that much difference between class 4 and 6. If you experience any malfunctions or errors give a feedback. I experience ONCE some problem, when recorded video 30min's long can't be played in phone and PC, but overall it work gr8.

Is this safe? I don't trust builds unless they're released by someone on here....

I believe the android.cab is like an autoboot from winmo (I personally didn't install it) for those that may not have one. As for the rest of the rom, well I understand your caution, but as with anything, no one is forcing you to install it. There is an inherent risk with ANY rom on this forum. Using caution is wise, so what I did is I compared the files to other roms I have used and saw that they matched up, I have installed it (with the attached 2gb image), it's running now, you have to select the English language, unless you understand either of the other 2 Chinese languages available. From there the setup was the same as the other HD roms. Testing it now, will report results later. So far so good...
Hi, have you asked about GPC before posting this?
OMG the camera quality compared to all other builds i used before is AMAZING !
After turning off the handwriting in options i think it is my new daily Android.
And the camcorder seems to record in 720p but we are not able to playback...
great build..but data icon dont animate..

I concure about to put it through its passes. i decided to test this build just for the 720P recording...wanted to see if it was indeed working. and for sure it is. as well the cam pic quality is very good. have not tested sound quality as of yet. waiting for the build to do a full update from the market before i start really testing it out...first impressions are good...will report back later today after more use.
Just tried this build and it's looking VERY promising. i tried the other Desire HD build with the camera fix but the camcorder still wasn't working on it and for some reason every time i tried to get into the market it would force close. as for the android cab..yeah,i wasn't sure what that was so i just thru it into the android folder along with the media folder.i tried the camcorder and it's working.it also played back my video. i know some were sayn that they didn't have playback on their camcorder. i may not go back to any other android build. i think i found my holly grail of android builds !
Just to clarify, this can record at 1280x720 but can't play it back?

Vibration intensity

This app will allow you to change the intensity of the vibration your device gives you, some kernels/mods do this specific feature, but with this app you can change it even on custom kernels or stock roms. You just need root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dunnow.software.vibrationTuner
A while ago I wrote this app to enhance my personal UX on my N4, I've been told it works well with N5 too, since it might be usefull for some of you guys, I'm sharing it here.
ROOT IS REQUIRED. Please read the app description.
Thanks, that really helped

Working anyone?
All intensities from 1 to 95 feel the same!
Yep working pretty well not to say perfectly.
In case it can help I have Nexus 5 stock rom rooted only.
Maybe depending on how much you changed from stock result could be different...

Maybe you're doing the same mistake as i did.
After you adjust the slider to a new value you need to push the "Set intensity" before you can use the Test button with the new value.
Took me 5 min to realise that.. :|

Ya it works amazing on mine and I'm on stock odex with root

Yep, root is mandatory since it edits system lvl files, since apps can't write on those files, root is mandatory to do so. Sorry if it's an inconvenience. u_u

Hey,
I need to make something similar for my HTC one (m8) runnig gpe, the vibration is insane.
Could you shed some light on how this app works?
I'm guessing it's a kernel module which changes the vibration intesity?

Actually it does not play with the kernel at all. Turns out that Nexus LG devices have a file with the intensity, so, basically, this app, overwrites that value on each boot to set the user prefered default and from there the system takes care to get that value and go on.
The file locations it's listed on the "FAQ" part of the app. Some people told me to add support to other devices, but they don't seem to have such file, or at least, not under the same file directory. You could search for it (if it's even there) and If it is (under another directory ofc) I could try to add compatibility to my app and solved.
It actually bothers me that people is rating the app poorly just because they can't read this is ment only for N4 and 5 (since are the only 2 that i know of using that method) ... u_u
Hi All,
work this with AOSP ROM? Where can I find the apk file? I have now no internet connection on my phone, so I could not download it from Store directly.
Thanks in advance!
I use Trickster Mod for controlling the vibration because it also does many, many other things.
