Applications that work in true vga mode

I've installed the true VGA mode in my Universal.The matter is that I see now that many applications don't fit well in the screen.I would like to know a list of proved appl that work in true VGA mode.thanx
I have proved Mort Player,Opera,TCMP, Resco's(Viewer...) and these appl. works well.

Did you use one of the VGA hacks, ozVGA or SE_VGA?

KCMatt, I' ve installed a x51vTrueVGA cab that you can find in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52475&highlight=*vga*.
It works well but the icons are small generally and the fonts...well I guess you have seen it.I notice that some free applications render well in this VGA mode but you can find appl that are not free that don't render(supposedly vga appl or at least prepared to work in our universal device).
(sorry for my english)

A QVGA simulator, does it exist ?

Hi,
I don't know if it's due to the trueVGA resolution but many aplication doesn't work properly (especially games) on my Athena. I wonder if there isn't any QVGA simulator, I mean an application with which the QVGA application would work and would just be stretched on the VGA screen.
I hope that a such program exists !! (Or an another solution)
Thanks for any answer in advance.

disable true vga and you will get what you want

Anyone Manila Touchflo for the BA?

Anyone going to create a Manila Touchflo for the BA?

i think that is not so easy (impossible ?)
manila is just for vga (640x480) screen.
so it can´t be displayed on a blueangel´s qvga (320x240) screen.
manila need much graphic power.
the diamond use a special 3d graphic chip to render it.
i think manila required biotouch, too.
the blueangel display driver is not compatible with biotouch

We have the regular TouchFlo interface working for virtually every device (haven't tried it in my Wallaby ), which also uses BioTouch (afaik), so I don't think that would be a problem. As far as the qvga thing, look at this (from the Kaiser forums)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395337&page=8
Apparently, there are a few guys in there that might be able to pull this one out.
The only thing that I will agree with you is the fact that we have a huge disadvantage hardware-wise (3D acceleration to be more precise), even when compared with the Kaiser... but don't let your hope down. Someone will come up with something. For instance, ThrottleLauncher 0.9.1 has it pretty close.
I still think that my BA has one more upgrade to go through before I can no longer upgrade(WM7, here I go)

Great link! Anyone have it working on the BA yet?
If not I will test this a little later and post my feedback here or there in the manila link

it works on my blueangel.
i get more than 3.5 frames.
controls doesn´t work yet.
just the home screen is usable.

What exactly is RealVGA and is every software available compatible with it??

I saw some i780 images with RealVGA and I just have to admit it was the best square screen I have even seen for a PPC. This seems precisely what I want for my screen. Could someone please explain what exactly is it, and how it works? and if all softwares are automatically compatible with it, or would I have to sacrifice my software collection in order to use it???
BTW, what screen resolutions does it work with and would my Treo 750 support it??

I always thought you needed a VGA screen to use realVGA or anything like that, so i don't think it would be possible on a treo. Then again i'm not entirely sure so i would wait for someone else to confirm.

RealVGA, essentially, makes everything smaller.
The point of this is to take advantage of a high resolution screen (since WM doesn't). In your case, it will probably make windows unusable as the 240x240 resolution would end up making text so small that it's illegible.
It's mainly meant for 640x480 screens although 480x480 as well as 320x320 screens appear to be usable.

RealVGA, or TrueVGA as I like to call it, basically disables pixel-doubling that WM uses to make all programs work well. This can really only be used on devices that have more pixels than 320x240. So a VGA screen of 640x480 will show 4x the about of data in TrueVGA mode as it would in normal mode.
The downside is that not all programs will work properly. This is a developer issue, and it is best to contact them to resolve this problem. I would suggest putting your device into TrueVGA mode and trying out the programs that you use, and see if you are happy with the results.
I have put a package together in the link below that you can use for testing purposes, and see if it is something you like or not.
Personally I only every use my device in TrueVGA mode as I hate the lost space as a result of the large icons on my x51v. But it will come down to personal preference and you are best to try and see for yourself.
Cheers
Mark

RealVGA actually changes your dpi. The stock i780 is using 128dpi which is something not common. Most devices are using 96 dpi. I believe RealVGA was written is to maximize the available screen. Of course with 96 dpi, the letters are also smaller, and it might pose some difficulty in readin texts on the screen.
However, others are still using RealVGa mainly one can maximize the screen. Also, the display though small, makes it look more sharp.
As to the programs, I'm not sure what you have. For myself, I am using PocketCM (modded to fit in the i780), Audio Manager and the Diamond WM Player Skin (modded to fit in the i780). I also installed the HTC Today plugin.
I also had modded SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 (I've since uninstalled it), I have SBSH Weather (using slikkie's sbsh weather skin). Quite a few software can run under RealVGA, it depends on what you have actually.
Hope this helps.

Search for the nadavi 3g dialer for i780. Install and you will be able to make video calls.

htc apps(dialer etc.) in vga resolution

hi everybody.
as i found much cool apps for my former windows mobile device here, i thought there is maybe someone who can help me.
i will get a e-ten x800 device soon. with vga resolution.
now i'm asking myself if i can use the htc apps from here at this device too.
i use the retouched dialer skin and die htc action screen and the htc homeplugin at my old qvga device. can i use this skins/apps at vga resolution. will the display be automatically reszied to vga resolution. or will be the dialer for example be smaller ? another question is, the eten x800 is a device with videocall function too. it comes with windows mobile 6. will be there a special dialer with videocall function or will there be the normal dialer i know from windows mobile 6. so i can use the retouched dialer instead?
would be very nice if someone can help me . i really would like to get my old interface with my skins and apps on this new vga device.
greetings
