If I could set Athena in real VGA would it work in VGA out mode in real VGA resolution too?
THX so much!
Here some pictures:
Normal and real VGA

Great it works...great monitor indeed...))
*lol*
It´s my best *gg*
I got it running on my projector - 7ft Tomtom is GREAT!
OK, I didnt really use my XDA Exec (universal) in realVGA mode because the today page was just too small...
Now I havent tried it on the Ameo (Athena) yet, but it looks better from those pics.
My question, from the larger screen size, would you say the Athena was usable in daylight with realVGA mode on? Its hard to see the screen in daylight and the last thing you want to have to do is squint at tiny fonts.
hello, very good how do you change the resolution?
thank you
You install MvRTrueVGA.
... and SdkCerts
In other words:
1. Google for "MvRTrueVGA"
2. Follow the instructions...
hum thank you , so it was what i imagined, but they have a lot of bugs , lets see if there is one update soon
I wouldn't count on there being an update soon.
And "a lot of bugs" is matter of definition. Personally, I can't live without TrueVGA at all.

hi folk... first thanks to everybody... it is very good to have a place like this.... I have decided to buy an universal today... do you know any software problems on vga display... like tomtom or resco file explorer...

thanks for quick answer... it was a big help...
But do remember that Full VGA mode is a hack, unsupported. Apps may work, they may not. Most do work fine.

thanks vijay555, but I don't understand what you mean... what do you mean with full vga is a hack... by the way, I have bought it : ) it is a very nice toy with a fantastic display... and it is so quick as my BA....
v is refering (can't spell it - damn dyslexia) to a hack that is avaliable that makes the screen size 4 x bigger, this is quite nice for fitting more information ont he screen but remember everything is 4x smaller and hard to read. also resco explorere doesnt work with the hack (takes up 1/4 of the screen). tomtom has no problem.

I've installed Slingplayer Mobile 1.1 on my Ameo and am quite disappointed with the resolution. I expected something much better looking than my QVGA iPAQ, but it looks about the same. Anyone know why? Of course, I'm running 1.0 on the iPAQ - should I drop back to 1.0 on the Ameo?
Also, when in landscape mode, the video starts full screen and there's no way to get to the remote control - only way to exit is to physically click the OK button on the device. Anyone else faced this?
Thanks,
Krip
I'm pretty happy with it.
tap very bottom left corner of screen, brings up menu, so you can exit etc
See attached photos

My resolution on the HTC advantage is also terrible. Picture looks really bad compared to my htc TYTN. On the tytn the picture is clear as day.
Can some more members with Advantage compare screens or at least post some high resolution photos?

What are your settings on the Encoding tab of Player Options? Do you have "Enable SlingStream optimization" checked?
-Krip
Just did a default install.
Enable SlingStream optimazation is checked, medium action.
I'm not saying that mine is better quality than yours, just that I find it acceptable.
Imagine if you stuck the tytn screen under a magnifying glass to make it 4x the size, am sure it would look more blocky.

Well I don't know about tytn but I'm going from a QVGA device to a VGA one so expect 4X clarity and then degrading for larger physical screen. In other words I get far superior resolution when viewing on my PC so would expect some improvement from QVGA to VGA move. Unless the Mobile Player is crippled...
-Krip
My SlingPlayer works fine also. I installed it yesterday and got it up and running and it looks great. Was watching Deal or No Deal while eating at my favorite Italian restaurant.
Hi,
Just wanted to let people now who have followed the excellent instructions to enable full WM and Real VGA on their brand new Shift (thanks Tito!) that there is an alternative resolution pack for Real VGA that works (in my opinion) better than the 192dpi pack. Please find the link to download it below. You can install it in the same way as described in Tito's thread. I did it last night and it looks as good as if it had been designed that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
Personally, for me, 96dpi was just too small so that SnapVue doesn't look too good and fonts are starting to look a bit weird. 128dpi looks perfect and still gives you a big improvement in screen real estate
Enjoy...
Furthermore, if you don't delete Real VGA once installed you can switch back and forth whenver you need to

I installed 128dpi, of course it is better than 96dpi. It should be useful to change in Tito´s comment too.
Thx again.
it is a bit better but i have gotten used to 96. 128 is a bit odd but i am talking about a athena here Anyway i hope we will be able to fit realvga into the cooked rom.
OK, I've done a search already and can't see this so please don't bite!
I've libertaed my Shift as per instrauctional video - all working well. Where do I get realVGA - is it a cab? Are there any foolproof instructions for installation?
Thanks for any help.

Ah yes, that might have been easier than the search...maybe you can actually use the search too much!
Thanks for your help, I've got 128dpi working perfectly now. Now I just need to get Opera installed!
So indeed the UK model is available in the Netherlands, just got mine.
My first impressions:
- The device actually feels smaller than I thought, feels only slightly heavier than my Diamond and much lighter than my Pro.
- The screen sensitivity for my finger is great, however it seems that I have to press harder with the stylus than on my Diamond.
- I cannot prevent touchflo 3D from installing, softresetting before customisation brings the device back in setup mode.
- The screen and the size of the buttons are great for finger usage.
- The device is faster than my Diamond and Pro, Touchflo 3D is really improved in terms of speed, however there is a lag when using the file explorer I didn't had on my previous devices.
- I really like the small led in the power button, indicating charching, bluetooth, etc. No more irritating charching lights from the action button when the device is next to my bed.
- All software I installed on my Diamond works on my HD (Spb products, Mobipocket, Pocketbreeze.)
- Did not test the GPS
- There is a soft bag for protection of the HD. The good is that it doesn't make the device much thicker. The bad is that it will not provide much protection (but it is included!!)
- The device comes with a 8GB microSD card (Sandisk.)
- The HD can be used in the HTC cradle, but without the special inlays, so a bit risky for the connector.
- No video-out (not in settings.)
- The full QWERTY on screen keyboard is better than on my Diamond, but still small and not as responsive to touch as I would want (I am used to my Iphone ;-))
Overall I think it is one of the best devices I have had for the last two years (a bit early to tell, but... first impression)
Can you tell us how vga apps work? Do they get stretched to fill the screen or are there black bars on top and bottom. I am talking about apps with no WVGA support.
Thanks!
Great post! I'm really looking forward to finding out how people get along with the HD. It's number one on my list of devices to replace my Touch.
please oh please try to play a divx movie thats perhaps the only thing that will make me sell my diamond i was used to see movies on my x7500 diamond sucks on plaaying video
yeah please try coreplayer/tcpmp with divx/xvid movies tell us the results!!
also if possible try some H264 (mp4 AVC) encoded videos
try resolutions around 640x360!

All apps I tried so far just scale to fill the screen.
It looks great!
The apps even look better than on my X7500!
After tweaking some performance settings and after installing 10 apps, this baby is fast!!!
Everything is almost instantanously, never seen this on a HTC device before (and I have had a lot ;-))
if you tell me it plays divx flawlessly ill put my diamond for sale right now hehehe
Any comments about audio quality through the 3.5mm plug. Also does the cradle have audio out (through usb of the device)?

The audio quality through the headset is great, its roughly the same as the Diamond, good bass, etc.
No sound through USB though, so no music through the cradle.
Looks great in the cradle though ;-)
OK, good news,
TomTom navigator 7 is working perfectly.
Better, no GPS lag (inside, because it is raining terribly here).
And look at Mobile Shell
This really is HTC's best device in years!!!
How does the sound compare with your iphone?
That cradle is huge, does it come with the package?
You have really kept up with all the PPC since the black and white days! Do you keep all of them or have you sold and upgraded throught he decade?

To be honest, the sound of both the Diamond and HD is much better than the sound of my Iphone, the sound is....more alive, more bass, etc.
I really like my Iphone and used it together with my Diamond for more than 3 months, and last month I mentioned that I was only using my Iphone. It is so much easier to use and the screen is really great.
But beside the UI, I think the HD beats the Iphone in a lot of aspects.
You have to buy the cradle seperately, it is a bit huge, yes.
I think I am an addict..... I kept some, not all, I am not that rich ;-))
tomtom
I also received my touch hd today! a great device, the big screen is really lovely.
I can't seem to make tomtom 7 working though. Wich cab did you use? I get the error message that it is not compatible with my device.
Thanks
Johnkorver,
It is indeed a good news that there is no lag in GPS
HTC Touch Diamond + HTC X7500 + Iphone 16 GB White + HTC Touch HD
Your collection is awesome
It was to good to be true...
I found a bug; the rollout menu's (don't know how to call it) do not work on non standard programs.
I had this bug also on my Samsung i780 with a 320x320 pixel screen.
You can select the different items using the keyboard though.
Look at the screenshot to see what I mean; I selected the main window menu.
hi johnkorver , what about 3g reception and system speaker related to diamond ? thnx

Finding out right now.
tried to put the Diamond battery in the HD.....
Hello.
I think that would be better if we try to change the resolution of the device , instead of porting manila's etc. ..
Is it possible?
thanks ,bye!
PS : Translated by google !
By replacing the touchscreen or......???
If it were that easy, it would have been done already. You can change the dpi of your screen, but you can't go above the max resolution because that is hardware dependent.

I've seen programs for WXGA to VGA etc. But I haven't found a VGA to QVGA yet. That would be nice to mess with....probably end up HR though...lol

That's because WVGA is just a variation of VGA, just adding a 160X480 rectangle of pixels to the bottom of the screen. VGA and QVGA are totally different. They are separated by a big hardware difference. I guess it might be possible (in theory) to downscale VGA to QVGA, but not the other way around.
dwizzy130
In the begining of time, when Diamond isn´t release (hahaha), and Manila alpha leaked, we can run this version in our QVGA using Nyditot_Virtual_Display.
Maybe this app can help you.

They have done it with ASUS P750, which had a VGA LCD, but stock QVGA system (WM6). Search for it, You can find that the cookers made a VGA ROM for it. But of course, other way around is impossible.
NYDITOT Virtual Display should help you
would it then be possible to use the xperia panel manager or does that has an other problem???
