Just installed TF3D on my polaris, woo hoo

They have a Test version out now in QVGA, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430718
I followed instructions and it works it is pretty smooth, the audio manager doesn't work but everything else does. all I can say is Wow.
I am using Syrius R1 plus 3D drivers from this forum. I am really happy, no need for Diamond now.
Edit: It seems if you try to do too many things at once, it will slow down and you need to reset it, ALSO if you press the power button seems to just blink off and on until you press power button again. It is REALLY NICE THOUGH I can't wait until they get the bugs worked out. In the forum he does say it is not meant for daily use but for test only so uninstalling and going back to 2D.

Tested it and yes, I agree with you...
Going back to 2D
LOVE it though, can't wait to have it running fullyfullfull

Wow Nice, Using with Syrius R1 + Cab Install 3D Drivers = Works Great! The 3D Weather is a nice effect, my hat off to the developers! Thank you

This is a BETA version only guys.. test it.. love it..by all means, but be aware that a hard reset at some point (especially when a new version comes out) is probably a reality so make sure EVERYTHING is backed up before you install this.

It looks kinda slow on the youtube vid. Is this also the fact, or is it because of YT?

Yes, it is slow. But very impresive. Album and audio maneger don't work for me.

Opla Just made a try too.
It works. Still too much slow for a day to day usage. But maybe we will be able to use this one day .
But for the moment, going back to Syrius R1

i try too but it was very slow .... i go back to 2d

I cooked it into my 3.6 version, its actually running pretty smoothly when cooked

Installed on the Official NLD rom
its working great, little bit slow.
Just waiting for the 'final' release

Since I don't know how to do that cooking stuff, I'm hoping someone releases a ROM with it cooked in, since like itje said it seems to run even better than when it's installed as a .cab.

Did you have the power button issue? When power button pressed it blinks off and on. Do you get slow downs making so you have to reset?

Calculator

Can anyone recommend a good calculator for the HD? I need one that can do more than just add, subtract, multily and divide. One that can graph equations, do integration, trig functions etc.
Thanks,

Nice request!
Same needs are present for me! Hope there is a program like this out there.
Thanks

Maybe something like this? (on the left side, the last button)

All of the calculator software I have tried does not work at all (Lygea) or has troubles with the display (MxCalc).
Any suggestions?

I like HiCalc. It has everything you could want, and is very user friendly.

I used HiCalc on my older diamond, it is not working on the HD, am I wrong??

This is my beloved calculator. I hope you're wrong here. But I did'nt see that on the wiki but I'll test that the moment my unit arrive.
If you've already got your unit, why not go ahead to test and update the wiki. Cheers.

HiCalc is my favorite one, but it occupies like 1/4 of the screen on my HD, so it's unuseable.

How much problem is this? Does it just leave a blank space at the bottom or does it not run at all?

I had one version which worked on my previous VGA device. Guess this means it was a VGA one, although it wasn't the latest.

You're right. In the case of HiCalc they use the same cab both type of devices.
I hope that they come up with a version for HD soon.

I would be happy with a calculator that just fits the whole screen and is not as terribly ugly as the WM one.

Panoramic Calc Pro.

This one:
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/calcpro/Calcpro.php
is supposed to work fine on the HD. Very similar to HiCalc.
Regards!

I like this even more than HiCalc. It takes so little resources and is really fast too.

2D acceleration for Polaris under WM 6.5 (package inside)

Update: pcarvalho has released a WM6.5 ROM that has all the files built in! Read more > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506043
Update: I've attached a .ZIP file with all that you need to test.
This package is released AS IS, only for testers. It has many bugs and some programs just won't start (like iGO8). It needs to be polished as the drivers are unfinished.
___________________________________
Boys and girls, I have good news for us, Polaris users. GfxBoost is working under Windows Mobile 6.5.
And finally, what we all were looking for: there are improvements!! Even with game emulators! You can watch the video I recorded here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYEWu9zLg6A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MKPL5V-p-g
At the moment, all that I can say is THANK YOU to the ones that made it possible !! The next days there will be information about it. Hold on!
The next challenge:
As many of you know, Polaris has a software problem with the touch screen that makes the CPU usage goes wild everytime you tap it. This produces lots of problems when scrolling and when making touch gestures. The video can be perfect in terms of speed, but I we have a too busy CPU, it produces a bottleneck that ruins all the stuff.
@rogro82 made his way trying to modify the touch.dll (presumably, it's responsible of the touchscreen). But I think it is a work in progress that was never finished.
For this reason, I really would like that a smart mind would put some light into this issue. It's the last barrier to a fully unleashed device.

Great! I am testing GfxBoost in the Polaris but I can not even see concrete improvements so far. Waiting for news

I've recorded a video
Here is a video I've recorded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MKPL5V-p-g
It cannot really show how smooth it is, but believe me, it's pure silk.
I've applied the patch that rogro82 released (Touched.cab) to soften the touchscreen response and it's even better
As soon as I receive the appropiate commands, I will tell you more info. The MSM72XX Team is working into it.
fards is the one that gave me the files to activate the 3D acceleration.
Chainfire released GfxBoost.
pcarvalho cooked WM 6.5 eXtreme.
I don't want to hurt to forget anyone, and I'm only testing. All the merits are to be given.

Hi GfxBoosts makes use of the 3D capabilities of MSM72XX (although it improves 2D). You have to be able to run 3D benchmarks like lights.exe. Unders Windows Mobile 6.5 I wasn't able to run it before. But thanks to fards, this changed. And now GfxBoost works like a charm.

awesome! good luck guyz, i hope u'll do it

Can you post the files for 3d acceleration? because without them we can't run (and see improvments) GFxboost with pcarvalho rom.

That is really good news. Already last ROM from pcarvalho I found extremely fast and responsive. I don't know if he cooked in gfxboost.

Nice one JMN.. now how about sharing these files for all the rest of us to experience?

Great work guys, now all you need to do is cook them in and it`ll be amazing ... its so nice to see that work is back on track for the polaris ... i was just considering to change it for a Pre ... though i think i`ll delay the change, just to see what else you have behind the corner.
A big THANK YOU to everybody who is doing everything possible to keep the Polaris alive.

great news!

I think it won't change anything since the base driver is the same HTC-CA-Polaris-Driver.cab. Until there's no better driver, we will have suspend bug.

If we test this software and something goes wrong, with a hard reset reverse everything to normal ???

Many thanks to all of you

WOW! this is indeed great NEW!
my thank to everyone working on this.

my inicial analisys...
well you toke the files that where replaced and placed them in again...thats why it works...but thats also why it crashes...nk was patched to use less memory (to get 101mb of ram)...so when it needs more and cant get it...what you get is a system crash...
why did you (or fards) use 3.13 and not the 3.19 ddi and disptools?
Edit: just found out why 3.13 instead of 3.19...will not boot even

[FIXED (repaired!)] Touchscreen/keyboard 'bounce' (update 26-10-10)

I've tried a lot of android builds whilst the development has been going on and found that Bangster's 1.4 coupled with Michy's R11 was the best for me with regard to screen sensitivity and keyboard accuracy.
I recently had a dabble with m-deejay's next-gen builds Desire HD/Z etc (which are excellent by the way, credit to him), and found that I was getting a lot of screen bounce, missed button presses and a very frustating keyboard experience (Hastarin R7.1). Pressing and holding the delete key for example would result in keypresses bouncing all over the place, sometimes several keys removed from the delete key. I tried a plain Froyo Sense build and found the same thing, although not quite as bad.
So, I decided to try the bare kernel from Michyprima's R11 (AXI, Desire, OC) on my current Froyo Desire build just to see if it was down to the kernal 100%. Instant bounce removal... keyboard is accurate and now when I press & hold on the home screen, I don't get the screen wobbling from side to side as the software thinks that I'm moving my finger around rapidly.
To recap; it seems like I was getting more bounce with Hastarin's R7.1 than any other, but certainly Michy's R11 (Desire based) is making my phone usable again. It really was bad before.
More messing required methinks... I may re-load the Desire Z build on to my SD card and try R11 to see what it's like. One thing I remember is whilst trying m-deejay's Desire HD 3.1 (which had an Evo kernel IIRC), keyboard bounce was almost non-existant. It wasn't until I changed to D-HD 3.3 that the keyboard became a pain to use (Hastarin R7.1).
Hastarin if you read this, please note this is by no means a dig, I have the greatest respect for all the guys posting builds here, these are just my obvservations.
As with all things Android/HD2 related, YMMV. Your thoughts are welcome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I've taken a couple of quick videos of m-deejay's brand new 3.4 Desire HD build showing this phenomenon (kernal is huanyu's #21). Replacing the zImage with Michy's R11 virtually eliminates it.
Video 1 - homescreen
Video 2 - keyboard
Could this be Windows ROM related? Might flash another WinMo ROM to see if it's any different.
Edit 2 Sent my HD2 back to HTC today, hopefully for TS replacement... see relevant post here.
Edit 3 Received my HD2 back from HTC's repair department. Problem fixed. No more bouncing Relevant post here.

No-one else with similar experiences?

Me too!
previously was using M-deejay's froyo sense 2.2 and the keyboard was a great improvement from my old stock HD2 Windows keyboard, which was oversensitive and jumps alot, making typing a hassle. I did not have any problems with the froyo sense 2.2 keyboard, it was accurate and sufficiently responsive, and even have my essential chinese input.
However, after the 2.4 version was released, i updated it, and noted that the browser's bookmark crashes. So i though, why not give EVO Sense 1.6 a try?
Btw, i did not realise any problems with the 2.4 keyboard, so it's probably as good as the 2.2 version.
Then i ran EVO sense 1.6, and i feel that the keyboard is different. Firstly it's the additional arrow buttons below, which is useful, and more like the original HD2's keyboard. Then it also has chinese input.
BUT i experience alot of the "bouncing" problems, if not more than my original HD2 windows rom. tried calibrating a few times, and deleting the calibration, but it doesn't help.
i want to emphasize again i am very grateful to all the developers like M-deejay, Hastarin, for developing all these builds that are effectively working. this is likewise, just my observation.

Anyone else? I can't believe it's just us two!

Videos added to 1st post.

I tried to replicate your problem (m-deejay's Desire HD 3.4) but I coulnd't. I also thinkg that the keyboarad its not as accurate as some of the builds but its not that bad as yours.

I'm sorry to say but the lag with the keyboard kinda looks funny
My keyboard isn't very accurate too. Sometimes it just takes the wrong key. I mean when I press the backslash it takes "m" or something although i was pressing backslash. This was on Hastarin 4.1.
But it really seems to be kernel related. With the r11 my keyboard is okay.
I don't think is caused by the WM ROM, but which one do you use?

have the same prob!

yep...and I get phantom touches also.

Well.. i have the same thing in hastarins latest kernel

I dont have this on DesireZ out the box.

I have MDeejay's latest Desire HD build and have this problem, how do I fix it? If I need to replace the Kernel how do I do it? What side effects will it have?
Thanks in advance

keyboard bounce also experienced by me when i am trying to type fast, using hastrin r7.1 as well, maybe is caused by the touchscreen delay?

have you tried keyboard calibration?
in the setting menu ..
it ask you to type that ..lazy brown fox jumps..
it helps me alot.. well some of it i guess
and also try the schrub bartome build. the keyboard is perfect-iphone like. im using this build for day use

I experience the same issue with the new kernel releases. But with hastarin #3 the touchscreen works normally.

[Q] Really good NAND Sense 2.1 Rom?

Hey guys.
After trying dozens of ROMs for a week, I can't find a good sense rom. Nothing fancy. As close as stock 2.1 sense as I can get. I have a 1024 Tmous HD2. Preferably something like the DFT NAND ROM that I'm sure everyone is familiar with, but without any bugs.
Please?
Thankss

I don't think a ROM where you need to use an app to turn off the dang thing is great. As a matter of fact, the only thing I see in NAND development these days are these buggy Sense 3 ROMS, Sense 2.1 ROMs themed to the point of retina destruction and that MIUI crap.
Why has nobody made a stock Desire HD ROM for cLK.
To the OP: If you're a fan of MAGLDR, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159
Only thing wrong is the camcorder doesn't work with the stock HTCCamera.apk. (and another thing wrong with it is that it's for MAGLDR )

there are stock like hd with sense 2.0 which can be used with clk

I don't need any app to turn off the "dang thing" like you said....
Anyway, the issues i knew after 2 weeks of use:
Camcorder with higher resolutian than 320x240 does not work (i'm not a cameraman so it does not affect me...)
Graphical glitches (much less then in other NAND-roms. Really: not disturbing)
Thats it and all what i've noticed in 2 weeks use. ^^
After testing these two weeks, i only can say that the rom is fast, stable and (that's important i think) suitable for everyday use...
