Root HD ROM with WORKING camera

GF is due an upgrade but she only wants a normal Desire so she's prob going to have mine and I'll get her upgrade. That's the plan anyway!

Had a play with one in the 3 store (unbranded) - it's nicer than the HD2 as it's got softer edges but the screen is awesome. Definitely looks like a winner...

Had a quick play on the LG Optimus (their WP7 handset) - have to say WP7 is a lot better than I thought it would be

WP7 is VERY simple from first looks but it is VERY quick - menus swipe with ease, generally seems a good OS.

But having now had Android I don't think I could go back. The iPhone-esque locked down interface doesn't do it for me but complete synchronisation with Outlook 2010 is it's only draw. HTCs handsets look lush, though. LG's 'brick' is just fugly

i have lots on phones in my possession . i will tell you now win7 is not something you will enjoy coming from android. its functionally backward and in many places illogical.

the Desire HD is beautiful however it is too big for me and the batter cover is bad, after a few times removing and replacing battery (to fully shut down so you can get to recovery/hboot) it gets flimsy.

Im not sure whether to try this, i heard horror stories of the sense rom breaking the camera drivers so when you flash back the broken camera remains

720p I find is useless when I was running stock so am not worried that it oesnt work however the new HTC sense is brilliant coverflow on music and facebook tagging on pictures and locally installed maps :) Its brilliant

By locally installed maps do you mean Google Maps installs them to the phone or an HTC app?

I'm also curious what the actual features of having the HD ROM are, other than the New Sense

Google Maps are still online. HTC now have 'Locations' which allows you to download mapping to the SD card to have it available offline

Sounds good. Still no problems?

I'm looking for a sense ROM to put on a friend of mines's desire (he's been running modaco R5 since day 1).

HD may just be the ticket, but as I don't want to support it constantly, I don't want it running anything other than apps2sd+ from his class 2 SD card.
