When I receive my XDA II I would like to install PocketMVP.
After reading some articles about the application I saw a lot of people had problems when they installed PocketMVP with ATI optimizations.
My question is:
With the XDA II do I need to install the ATI optimizations?
(XDA II uses an Ati Imageon 3200 chip)
Please also explain why I should install it with or without...
Thanks
Panja
i installed it with the ati thingy enabled
and i had a few clips which would not run so i had to use pockettv
to run them
and think maybe i had sound out of sync issues not 100% sure about this because i dident turn on the sound before after i started messing with the prebuffer options so it could have been that causing it
but anyway i'll be interested too in if everybody got some info about this

Hi all
I have just ordered an upgrade to the 02 xda mini from 02. it is my first smartphone and wondered if there is anything i should be aware of. also is there any essential software i need to download either for the phone or for my pc while i wait for it to arrive.
One more thing, i really like the profile settings on my old nokia that allows you to quickly change ringtones and switch vibrate on and off etc so is there any software available that will allow me to the same on the xda. ideally it would also change the profile when i connect the bluetooth headset if thats possible. sorry for so many questions - pesky newbies :?
all advice greatfully received.
thanks
Congratulations!
I had an original xda and an xda II and I think this (XDA Minis S/Pro, aka the Wizard) finally delivers everything I need..., except perhaps for an FM radio, but that's just picky.
I didn't bother loading Clearvue PDF as the Adobe one (v2.0) is free anyway.
I got rid of the O2 Active screen stuff as I never use it and it does slow things down. There are instructions about how to get rid of the O2 theme altogther in this forum, but I just use the Basic set up instead. I quite like the O2 theme stuff.
I will load Tomtom 5 when I get a mini SD card.
Other than that, I'm happy with it as it is.
If I want to switch phone profiles (like a Nokia) I just turn the volume down to vibrate. I only ever have it ringing or silent/vibrate anyway.
Hope that helps. There's plenty more knowledgeable people than me here who can help.
Cheers, Dave.
many thanks for the reply dave,
Another question now, being new to all this, i have been looking around the web for software (well freeware). a lot of sites list different versions such as Mips Arm SH3 etc. my question is which one do i need to download for my xda mini.
Thanks again
neil....
Erm...
Sorry, Neil, b*ggered if I know. All I know is it's a Texas Instruments (TI) chipset, so unless there is a TI option I wouldn't know. So far, all the stuff I've downloaded says PocketPC or Windows Mobile.
I'm not helping much am I ? :?

ARM all the way. Well, actually it's an Intel, but the chipset is ARM compat, so that's what you want. MIPS and SH3 are long gone in PPC.
Hi all,
I am trying to use Skype on my S200 and it works ok when using it for text (what could go wrong there anyway )
However if I try to call then I get prob's.
Very slow, then I get sound problems (reception mainly).
Is this a problem anybody else is experiencing as well? Does anyone here have a solution? I remember reading about overclocking but I thought the OMAP processor that qtek s200 had is good enough to handle Skype?!
For info I downloaded the mobile version for 9090 as only 2 were available. The other one was for qtek 9000 (which I have not tried out yet).
"The minimum requirements to run Skype for Pocket PC 2.0 are:
· OS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2003
· Display: 320x240, 640x480 (portrait or landscape), 240x240, 480x480
· CPU: 312Mhz + (Optimized sound quality versions for Intel Xscale, 312Mhz and for 400MHz+), b
· Network: WiFi, 3G or EDGE "
Any ideas/suggestions?
P.S. I would like to avoid the overclocking solution if possible.
Thanks!
Hi Makis,
I am afraid you have to go through overclocking to get acceptable performances with Skype. I am currently using the latest version for Mobile (2.0) downloadable from the skype site.
Search the forum for OmapClock and Skype... you'll find all directions to run it.
...until a new version, optimized for Omap/dual core comes out... if ever...
Bye.

Hi
Which one ? The one for slowest processor or the "normal" one ?
Thx for your answer.
slvrbllt,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess no other way around it. Overclocking it is then. One of these days I will give it a try, I remember seeing something about over clocking in here.
PS
Did you download the one for 9090 or 9000?
Thanks again.
See last post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40583&highlight=skype+arm
and you should be able to try out the older, but specialized Skype for ARM devices, unlike the Xcale version that everyone here is using which is causing problems on Prophet. Download the GENERIC ARM version and give it a try.
Please post your results after trying it out.
krale thanks!
very helpful indeed.
For those who will read this in the future I think it is better if you follow the link that krale provided were you can find more specific and detailed info on this subject.

Look for A2DP tread on this forum... Sorry, I can't point you directly.
skype version
You can use the older Skype ARM version, however you won't have access to the contacts you may have added on your desktop version, since it is the newer v.2 which supports the server contact list.
However I'm using the new version of Skype without problems, overclocked to 240 of course.
Get the 312Mhz version from here:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html
I haven't tried the high speed one, it may work if you feel like experimenting.
All,
Thank you for your replies and suggestions, everything was very helpfull.
I decided to give overclocking a try.
I tried the opmapclock that you can find in the forums (search for overclocking) There is also a step by step guide on how to keep your gadget overclocked the whole time, because once the phone goes to sleep you have to overclock it again.
I tried my S200 running on 228Mhz and 240Mhz (skype worked fine) and so did all the other applications. I found the 228 enough to see a small improvement.. DO NOT expect miracles and please be careful since there can be some issues if youi over do it. I suggest you do some research in here before you decide to overclock.
I used the latest skype version (I think it is the 2.0 version).
Anyway I hope someone else can also find this info usefull in the future.
Once again thanks for all the help..
Makis
You also have the option of using other VOIP solutions. Do a search for SJphone and sipdiscount and you'll find more info. I can use SJphone without overclocking, but I need to overclock to 240 for the new version of skype.
Thanks Matterhorn I will have a look.
Well I would assume that you've already seen the new HTC Diamond.
Is anyone already working on porting that beautiful TouchFLO™ 3D interface?
(I would assume that it is possible since it's just running on top of WM6.1 although I know that it would be difficult since it's for VGA and requires some meaty hardware)
Is it possible to get the Video Drivers of this device's Qualcomm® MSM7201A™ 528 MHz to be used on our MSM7x00 devices?
(I'm sorry if some people get's pissed about hearing this hopeless idea again, but I just had to ask, you know )
Thanks.
Anything's possible, though by the time it hits, a lot of people would have gotten other devices or just have bought the Diamond/Raphael.
--James
The TouchFlo 3d has already been adapted (slightly) but at the moment very few devices have the processor power and the screen size (VGA) for it to work. (Try a search for "manilla")
The video drivers may be possible, but a ROM dump would be needed and AFAIK, that hasn't happened yet...
A Diamond rom dump would be nice to look through to compare with the KS20 dump. But, I haven't been able to find a imate9502 dump from anybody yet, so it's not really helping... Best I got was the 9502 ahi2dati.dll which is about identical to the KS20 one.
I do have a fully ported ahi2dati.dll (you can do some egl* calls such as eglSwapBuffers(), glFlush(), etc) for the Kaiser but there's some spinlocks that I don't understand. It would be nice to get a reference ATI-using WM6.1 DDI.dll to hook up to it and then see what other subsystems haven't been properly ported.
Currently, I've got some of the KS20 TrsTai_extension.dll calls (pm_vid_en()) almost patched in.
Anybody got a handle on what smem.dll does?
I don't understand a thing. I've got some MSDN samples from Microsoft. Using a CRC Wm6.1 rom most of them worked but really slooooowly... now i've got other ROM WM6.1 hardly any sample works, but these which work are quick. Could anyone tell me why? Is DirectX accelerated by ATI Imageon in a m3100? and is a driver for ATI Imageon implemented in M3100 at all? Or maybe it's the same issue as in TyTN II / Tilt (kaiser) phones?
As far as I know, the ImageOn chip is NOT active in the M3100 / TyTn / Vario 2. It's been discussed a lot (particularly as TCPMP *can* use the ATI ImageOn acceleration, but it messes up the screen if you try to use it on the Kaiser so you have to use framebuffer / raw mode).
Unfortunately mate, it's all software rendered I think

Thanks for your reply... I understand but still I can't understand why Direct3D mobile behaves differently on particular ROMs...
Does anyone know where i can find a open gl es driver for touch2 or if there is any ??
I coudn't find anything. I'm also looking for drivers for a while, but I the (usefull) thing I found was: Vincent 3d. Look for this opensource project.
But I think it's still software rendering. As far as I know it's the best performance on the Mega you can get.
Did someone find video drivers for the Mega???
I tried some others;
- Neos -> Nothing happed
- ChainFire, Topaz -> Phone crash (hard reset)
Please help!
yes i tried many all crash and stuck at boot i hated this mobile for 3d driver doesnt exist bec it doesnt contain accelerator
i hope any one could find any d3d driver for htc mega
you can't find any because there's no hardware acceleration for d3d, MSM7x01 MSM7x27 series cpus have adreno on the SoC (adreno 130 and 200), so don't be hopeful, also gfxboost won't help you too much
