I always recode my music from flac to m4a with aac codec, and the phone can easily play them, no matter which ROM I have on. So I'm not sure if only ginger can play aac. :-/

For me 2.3 seems to be faster, it looks better and has some small improvements, some of them doixanh is trying to port to 2.2.

like doixanh, i think froyo is faster in terms of menu navigation, but i think gingerbread looks better.. that's why i'm loving doixanh's ROM, because it is froyo with gingerbread's look and special features..

I was expecting something a bit more wow over the HD2...seems like they have just removed the buttons from the HD2, improved a couple of things and re cased it?
Do i see a new sense ?
naaa .. must be optical ilusion
Some visual

Where did you see a UI ???
I saw a Interface; but User????
although wel all moan about sense, it does look better then that!
its practically the same phone with less buttons and more memory (an internal sd card probably as it has the same amount of nand).... looks like ill be keeping my hd2
edit: oh yeah and a kickstand.......cant forget the kickstand
Honestly think the original HD2 looks a lot better, though the build in kickstand is rather neat.
I think the HD7 is one big bag of fail
I mean, a year later, the successor to one of the greatest and most popular winmo handsets of all time...gets a measly memory bump???
Same processor? Same Screen Size? I mean, its prety much an inevitability that WP7 will be ported to the HD2...whats the incentive to upgrade to the HD7??
Now at least the Desire HD got a processor bump, is definitely more futire proof than the HD7.
Maybe that HTC's way of telling MS that HTC is now primariliy an Android supporting company?
I mean, the HD7 may be the WP7 flagship for HTC, but no way is it THE overall HTC flagship. Thats the Desire HD.
In the meantime, with almost identical specs to the HD2, thanks for making the WP7 HD2 port easier on the devs, HTC

Found a great video app

The stock SGT video app is ok but does not support all the formats I want. Specifically the Motion JPeg coming out of my Panasonic Lumix camera. So I went on a Market search for a better app. I looked at
iMPlayer - supported format but very poor performance
qqPlayer - not too bad but large files cause it to lose video and audio sync
arcMedia - the interface is a little weird but playback is the best I have found I have settled on this player so far.
You may also want to look at RockPlayer and mVideoPlayer. The former has a proper filesystem browser and lets you manually adjust aspect ratio, but doesn't fall back properly from hardware to software decoding. The latter uses a "scan-for-videos" interface system which irritates me, but works better as a default player because it falls back properly. Both seem fast enough for my purposes.

Request for custom ROM

I've never developed a custom ROM, and would like to have one developed for the H96 Max +. The box has a RK3328 CPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. The current ROM is based on Android 9.
I have 6 of these boxes and Logitech C922 Pro cameras and would like to use them to video conference link several locations. I have tried using Zoom, Hangouts and fb Messenger to create video calls, but although the video is fed, the audio both from the camera's built-in microphone and the audio from the remote device do not go to the TV (connected with HDMI).
My research has led me to conclude that the problem is that Android TV does not have video input support, but that could be added to the ROM by someone that knew what they were doing (obviously not me ).
Is there someone that I could send the current ROM to and that would be able to tweak it to produce the desired result? Of course I would pay for this.
Cheers
