Hi,
I installed MvrTrueVGA and changed resolution to VGA. After that my iGO doesn't start.
It just flashes with "STARTING" and nothing more. Moreover I can't close it, I have to make softreset.
If someone has some tips to help me, please let me know.
Without knowing anything about iGo....
Many programs dislikes VGA Landscape. Have you tried changing the screen orientation before starting iGO?
iGO has its own config for display orientation. In VGA mode I can't access to that setup, I had to change to qVGA first then try VGA again in portrait mode.
You were right, it started in portrait mode, but now on display there are running lines, it seems like iGO constantly redraws the screen.
It locks very strange like bad synchronization on TV.

I'm in thes same situation. Whenever I need to use Igo I change to QVGA and revert when I finish with it. I also use it in Landscape mode. Any attempt to use it with VGA (MvrVGA) creates load of problems like the screen not responding or mis aligned...
Hi guys, as soon as we get some more money the 2nd athena should be arriving to me, so in light of this i'd like to see what your feature requests are for the rom i will be building
Everything will be considered, but no guaruantees
Dont forget to
or this cant happen

- Fix all trueVGA graphical problems. Icons, screens, etc. I would like to run in trueVGA full time without having these types of issues.
- Unlock Extended ROM so people can put their own apps in for the next hard reset. ;-)
- Put the "Tray Display" utility into the ROM so people can show or hide their trays. File name "traydisplayinstall_196.CAB".
- Setup the "BlueTooth Tray Status & BT Audio Util" on the ROM. File name "btIO-0.5.CAB".
- Maybe the functionality to add/remove program icons from the tray without having to modify the registry? ;-)
- All black VGA theme. Similar to the default WM6 theme but all black.
- If possible, maybe an updated version of Pirazu so we can control a mouse cursor with the joystick?
- Alternative to BlueMouse so we can use a BT mouse cursor on the device. BlueMouse is nice but it costs.
Make it work like "Touch" may be the looks....

For me, these first five would be a darn good start.
- With #1 - Usable dialer in TrueVGA would be #1 on my list.
Couple more (may already be fixed in WM6, but have yet to plunge):
- WiFi On/Off is flaky unless you actually go into the Comm Manager (e.g., PhoneAlarm and other programs are not effective)
- I still have problems doing multiple mappings to Win and OK buttons. AEBPlus does this kinda, but then other buttons get mucked up. Given few number of buttons, this is really limiting.
Wish list:
- USB-powered Beer Tap. I know the low-power port might be an issue, but I'm sure this should be doable. Integration with MS VC would also be great, "Computer, pour beer." (All I can say is, it's been a long day!)
Actually I should have just put mapping of the vueFlo API. That should open up the rest of the developers to building cool widgets also.

also a way to use another windows phone as a bt headset like the touch (if possible)
Solid & Fast ROM compatible with previous backups
Damn guys...you're not asking for much are you...hehe. Actually I quite like the sound of the all Black VGA ROM with Touch like interface.
But hey, I'll settle for a an all black super reliable and damn fast ROM in vanilla favour.
You guys have made some great suggestions, that I can't argue with. All I can say..is I'd love a ROM that I can use my Spb Backup files with...without corrupting any software, so when you release version 0.1, 0.2 etc...it will still be compatible with my backup files, making the switching of ROM's a quick thing to do.
I hate my phone being out of action. and having to re-install everything again.
I third the black vga theme. Also in vga mode is it possible to make the start bar a little bigger so it is more finger friendly. Something the size of when it it is in qvga mode would be great. Also when you push the start bar and the drop down list pops up it would be great if that was larger with larger text. Also at least for me in vga mode in wm6 none of the 3g, signal strength icons show up in the start bar only the time does.
The only thing i'm against is the vueFlo. Except the part about using vueFlo to sense when to rotate the screen.

here try this
WARNING...THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE....NOT WITHOUT CHANGING SOME REG. ENTRIES... AT LEAST (and i don't know which one's need to change!!)
works well with se VGA too esp. if you have fading eyesight!!!
How about an icon on the task bar that rotates screen.
Also, when using the device in QVGA mode, smaller icons on today screen, start/program screen, start/setting screens.
When in VGA mode, but running a QVGA program , show a matching size bigger soft key buttons.
Show connection icons (H, 3G, G) correctly when in true vga mode.
I read alot in the Blackstone section and I guess some Blackstone owners missed this little tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442426
I posted it for the X1 but since the resolution of the X1 and the Blackstone is the same..
I hope it will work on the Blackstone too
It works nicely with emulators, SKYFIRE Beta 0.85 etc etc .

A week ago I received my X1 and tried WVGA Fix (Version 1) ! It didnt work...
After some searching i found a improved Version -WVGA FIX 2- now supporting all WM 5, 6, 6.1 and WVGA devices.
This little Program virtually "cuts" the pixels bigger than VGA from your device.
Dont get scared.. This only happens as long as you run the program.
Those pixels get black and the program emulates a VGA screen.
When you choose to get back to WVGA everything is fine again
So most programms (not only emulators) will work fine on our nice WVGA screen.
I thought some people here will love this tool too.
PS:Install the cert first, then WVGA FIX2 second.
Cheers !

Tried it already, Pocket UFO runs thanks to it.
Thanks! This has allowed me to try out SkyFire...

It doesn't work for me.
It change allways the display to landscape before freezing.
Hmm, SCUMMVM ???
yup I missed that... nice, definitely allows me to run some apps that otherwise screwed up... Especially skyfire
@vincent1: yes the rotation is annoying and not required, but it does Not freeze your phone. Your display mode changes and you still see the fix app running but it's just a frozen screen, press the today hard button and you will see manila, which instantly forces the screen to rotate back to portrait, after which you got normal VGA screen (except part of manila is missing). Now you can run any vga app you like. Just switch back to the fix program to undo the res change, press home again to fix the landscape mode, etc.
@nin2thevoid
thanks mate! Yep, pressing the today hard button is the secret

NP... I use AEButton by the way and have assigned long press of the volume up button to rotate the screen clockwise (I don't always like g sensors to do this for me). This gives an instant fix to this problem as well, and it un-freezes the program instantly.

I can confrim the above and the only way to solve it is to take the battery out as the screen does not react to tap.
hi
any news about this ?
Because I'm getting the same problem
I've tried this and it doesn't work on my HD. the phone becomes unusable.
Is there any other software to enable VGA programs? I'd like to run PocketUFO again.
any good for the hd2 ?.
Marble world 2 worked in full screen onece now the bottom is always chopped off??
why do some full screen apps sometimes get "chopped" off at the bottom / top its odd.
i cant make nester work on tp2 atall yes it loads but again chopped off at bottom would not landscape and tp2 would not allow me to assign keyboard keys to controll it i attempted to configure the controls many times to no avail
the sims 2 says only works in landscape mode pls change screen oriantation and try again; did this to no avail it switches to portrait when it loads then throuhs up the error
picodrive did not work it loaded up and then crashed and closed
anyone with some light on the above things would be brill! thanks
so sorry if this is the wrong section for this post!
I hade that same problem, solved it after installing MorphGear,,
Check this out
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
First install the morphgear.. than install the emulator you want ( in your case the Ines )
Its working perfect, you can also assign the keys you want, and get full screen with sound..
Try it ouT !
soon as the misses put her naff tv on tonight i will be checking this out! is morphgear an emulator its self?
how do you get it to go full screen? Right now mine is like a 150 by 150 pixel screen haha.
nvm i got it, in case anybody wonders you just set the screen size from 100% to window size.
it will not flip round to landscape how does one do this it does in the menu when first loaded but the black background and the morph gear logo dont go landscape and neither do the games also some games i load it says no memmory error and loads console up but it means nothing. when i try to landscape it it emains in portrait i.e if i open the keyboard hoevery the bottom off the application chops of 10mm and tou can see the today screen behind it
how do you get the pretend on screen game pad to work also?
What emulators are you using?
problems to config the inputs buttons on TP2 soft morphgear
what'sup everybody, well i have one problema with morphgear, everything is ok but the inputs buttons i just can't config, when i tap the (...) and than tap the button that i would like to change appears the number 229.
i can config the directional only. inthe case of the street fighter for exemple the low punch,medium punch and high punch is the number 229,smae thing with the kicks. i'm stock with just one button but i have 5 other to config. i have the 229 number
help me plz....
i got the same problem and can`t find anny solutions :S
(you can use the "Ctrl", "Del" and the 1. button on the front, but its only 3 buttons and there position is not good for playing)
Try using K For Raphael from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425646
It worked for me.
The only thing that's still a bit weird is assigning the d-pad buttons. Up and Down seem to be switched with Left and Right, so I have to assign them differently. Anyone else having this problem?

yes... it's an issue. the k for raphael.cab needs to be edited to work with the tp2. although the keyboard from the tp is close, obviously, its mapped differently. I can get it to work once in a while but has to be remapped every stinking time you open Morphgear! hopefully, someone with a little skill can fix this soon...
The Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) is a WVGA (Wide VGA) device, which means it has screen resolution of 480x800. Normal VGA is 480x640, so there's a "bar" of 800-640=160 pixels left over at either the bottom or top of your screen when using applications which are written for VGA display.
However, there is a tool which virtually forces your screen to VGA. Basically this means you'll still have the black bar, but all VGA apps will work. Search this forum for "WVGA fix" and fetch it.
As for the black bars being there, call it evolution. I'm rather certain your TV gives you programs in 4:3 and 16:9, black bars are common there too, live with it as it's better than stretched images

True, that program works well. Been waiting use it since I had my htc wizard. Wish we could get the r for tp2 so we could have the buttons mapped properly.
emulation
Well there is smartgear that works great for 5 dollars. Also have you guys heard of Fcpse1.0 it a playstation emulator that works great.
Excuse the silly question but is there a way to put the HD2 in landscape mode permanently? I'm using BsB tweaks but I really hate it when Opera rotates back to portrait and jumps back to the top of the web page every so often. Surely there must be a permanent landscape mode like there was in all previous WM versions?
phone call screen
the worst thingie is when it is landscape mode and u receive or make call..the phone call answearing screen is in portrait mode...and never rotates to landscape.have tried bsb tweaks = no change! must get phone on portrait and then get to landscape to have phone screen on landscape mode. it changes to landscape mode but not automaticly.
so is there any way to make thios to work?
any solutions?...or still noone interested about this issue?
You can disable the phone canvas and use the WM default one or install your own, like PhoneEx.
I would also like to have this option in my HD2. it would be perfect for the time spent in car...
Use a ROM with a Sense version that works in landscape and disable the HTC dialer.
landscape
Change the reg. key
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" from "1" to "0"
Then you see in Settings > Screen a radio-buttion for
choosing the format.
But no garanty for nothing with reg.-keys.
eshd
....or use Gyrator which will rotate the phone canvas and anything else.

Yeah that seems to be the missing one. Unfortunately it is rotated back by just any screen that doesn't support landscape like the quicklist (=long press power button) and even WM's today screen

Gyrator works fine but that's not what I want. I don't like autorotation and WM should be able to stay in the orientation you tell it to. The problem with autorotation is when viewing a web page while lying down on my side, it flips the HD2 to portrait while I would like it to stay in landscape.
I told you what to do. Try it.
Attached is the .cab to disable HTC's phone canvas. Now you need a ROM with a Sense version that supports landscape (1922, maybe also 2012) and, if you want, you can install another dialer software, like Iconsoft PhoneEx.
Additionally, you can install an application to rotate the screen manually, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347705
That's how I use my HD2 all the time, so I know it works and gets you full landscape, without ever rotating back.
It 'll probably come to installing a custom rom. Haven't done that on this phone yet and I think it's a bad thing that doing that would be necessary. Even more because I know that every unwilling application could just rotate it back. It should be possible to apply the same tweaks the custom landscape rom cooks use on the standard rom, shouldn't it?
No, there is no way to have the landscape enabled Sense version without a custom ROM.

Which custom ROM will make HD2 in permanent landscape (i.e. untill you tell again it to be in portrait) for all and each application which autorotates (some even without physically rotating HD2 like Phone ...)? This does matter a lot for me to get Redfly Mobile Companion working smoothly with HD2. I have applied some background tweaks like HDWall and it made screen in hi-res like it is RealWVGA for HD2 much better to view and get more information on screen, but I am really bugged by this auto-rotate featute of HD2. I have enabled rotation, assigned a button even than it flips to portrait mode whenever I connect Redfly so basically on Redfly's 800x480 landscape screen, I get a 480x800 screen scaled/stretced to 800x480! How weird it is! And when I play video on HTC Album or WMP in full screen it gets to full screen in portrait mode and weirdest it looks! I want this auto-rotation fancy to be stopped and for ever unde user control so once HD2 is put in landscape mode (left/right handed) evrey application follows the set landscape orientation come what may. No more auto-rotate, not even with phone put inro landscape or portrait. So three things required,
(1) Rotation disabled on phone's physical orientation. Let phone be in protrait or landsape mode physically but ONCE disabled screen will not rotate with phone.
(2) Other application which change to portrait mode automatically whatever the phone's physically orientation is (like by default portrait Phone, long preess power button, YouTube etc..) will stop this behaviour and will be forced to phone's assigned or set screen mode. So if phone is set in landscape, no matter what application or phone's physicall orientation be, all such unconrtolled applications will come under full control and will be forced to follow set orientation mode, i.e. landscape if it is set.
(3) Setting of mode in LS or Portrait and left.right hand. Once selected phone stays in that untill it is changed again bypassing all HTC SENSE/MANILA/G-SENSOR and all that stuff.
Anyone please help.
PS. HDWalls v 1.29b from HD Walls v 1.27b enabled landscape on Manila v 2012 and WM 6.5 and have options to creat custom backgrounds, so this does anable landscape in Manila once required Manila patch (V 1.22 or v 1.3) is applied, so it gets Manila in landscape but above auto-rotation still remains, it is not able to put device in permanent landscape mode for all and each application.
