DREAMS of a better Polaris.

Polaris has potential, I know!
This is my first thread so don't go rough on me.
All this is about an idea, about a dream, about the future.
I wish there could be something we could all do to save our little Polaris's lives from the trash bin.
Wouldn't it be nice!?!
I suggest 5 things!
And i would need some hardcore programmers to be working on this..
Yes, for crying out loud, I am calling for Bepe, Olipro, Vivi, Udk, Pawel062, cmonex, misar, faria, tadzio, pof.. There are a lot of you guys. And really as far as I know you know what you are doing!
I am using Bepe's rom at the moment.. (bepe an update maybe?)
SO!!!!
YEA!!!
THE FOUR MAGICAL THINGS WE ALL NEED:
PROPER Graphics support - Coming in june with the Diamond i suppose.
Or if you are smart enough see how it
works in core player 1.2.4 and take it out.
PROPER Eased up system - I mean roms with all tweaks and tricks
+ make them empty, like totally empty!
PROPER List of applications - To show everything that is available for the
TC, Also more settings availability (up until
how big the application icons must be)
PROPER OVERCLOCK - What no one thought about this one?!?
PROPER Launcher - I have got one in mind, I can try to do it in
flash version, yet i'll need you guys to
program it for pocket PCs out there.
MAYBE THIS THREAD IS NEVER TO BE DISCOVERED
YET I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO
WANT TO START THE SAME THREAD!!!
Drivers+Easy System+Overclock= KILLING COOL EXPERIENCE
All the software choice, will help you decide what you really
want from the device.
I've got ideas.
I need help.
Post me a personal message to get my skype and other stuff.
Update: Changed the fonts.. not so big now..

Lot's of big fonts and requests from someone who doesn't appear to understand much about why his some of these requests can't be fulfilled.
Out of interest tcfanboy, how much cash are you willing to gift to people you've mentioned to do all this work for you?

I am not planning to sell this product, so there is no cash in this for me.
I am just saying i can contribute, i wish others could too..
I just like to have my device working, don't you?

don't be a pessimist.
I'm just tying to help.
If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
Big fonts are there to stand out. But yea i guess they are too big.
I know nothing about programming on a device such as a pocket pocket pc.
But i can program in pascal, delfi, and i am currently getting hold of c++..
I am not a lamer if that's what you are saying. I just need guidance.
Will you be of help?

People here are trying there best taking apart other devices and putting their codes into other. How about a new level?
how about writing the codes ourselves.
Just asking you if there is there a tutorial online? The one every beginner has read.

hey tcfanboy, thanks for the poll, u've got a point here but: u see all this work that the ppc wizes are doing is voluntary and asking them for stuff that they already know abt its not the best idea(my opinion). I'm sure they're doing their best to provide all of us with good roms and various improvements but they're not receiving any help from the company that was supposed to do all this work: HTC !
Anyway, HTC announced that they will release some sort of update in this month or next one for the devices with Q7xxx chips that will provide some sort of fix for the current issues but they didn't specify what exactly will the update do. And its not surprising considering they don't even admit they've got a problem with the video acceleration
I'm definitely looking forward to see your list of requests integrated in a rom and I'm sure sooner or later it will happen. Thanks to every1 working on any improvements!

according to an o2 germany insider at ppc-welt.info, there can not be software driver update, since this is software code on core-level, wich cant be solved by flashing a rom

there will be an update that fixes something that htc is not willing to tell in advance but it optimizes grafik performance
the hardware acceleration cant be activated afterwards, according to the o2 guy

i might be able to contribue with a ultra lite rom. i know i said i would release a new project rom but i want to mess more with a lite rom so will release a full and lite rom tommorow. if u all dont mind me removing almost everything like camera etc.. i can definatly get something really lite made.

acceleration can be turned on and off at any time. acceleration is nothing more than making dlls that turn on the acceleration and use it. manilla aka touchflo 3D is a example of acceleration in use. if u look at the dependencies of manilla then you will know the dlls needed for acceleration.

Manila runs on a quite different device though
The actual hardware could be disabled in the Polaris-generation through some sort of burning certain areas on the chip (some guy wrote about it in here a couple months ago) to physically destroy certain features. But giving effort to find out if that is the case by disassembling other ROMs is surely not the wrong thing to do! I guess I'll wait for some sort of fix or buy an Xperia if that one happens to arrive first

hey Pawel, if u'll integrate in your rom all the fixes and current improvements that vivi, pdaviet and udK have in their roms, it doesn't matter how lite the rom will be because we can always install on it the applications we want.

I don't know much abt wm platform but working in IT gives me a bit of a tech background and I'm learning fast, please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this video acceleration problem on Polaris is not easily achievable even with the dlls from Diamond because they are built for VGA and TC is using QVGA Right?

This is correct. But then again a driver is a driver and the resolution shouldnt play a role. nVidia drivers work for 1920x1200 as well as they do for some 1024x768 output... It could be different though for fixed resolution devices like our mobile devices are. We'll see, we'll see, or we might switch the hardware manufacturer...

Really? It looks like you're making so much promises both in Polaris Project, with the Glass ROM and now here.

thx
I am glad to get some Seniors here. Thx guys. I saw this post of all the htc programs..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344544
Well.. you should add the program list of the programs in the original rom.
Downloadable links and light description of features.
Yea, I am a demandive person! Someone must be.
Btw, there is an excellent company which makes software with understandable interface. Well.. I did not necesserely buy their products.. But the name is Vito. So this is the interface which should be used. If interested in them ask me I'll provide a free link. I am from russia. It's legal here. )))

ROM

Hi everybody!
The hd is my first wm mobile and I like it a lot.
It is proberbly a bit early, but is there a better unofficial ROM for it which is better than the original?
Can anyone point me to a link where it is shown how to change ROM

Hi
I´m sure very soon there will be some cooked ROM´s by the great chefs of this site as there are with many other devices, meantime read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone

any word on when the first official roms are coming out? cause I really do think that some of the issues with the phone need to be repaired by HTC themselves so we get a more stable rom to base cooked roms on... like the freezes many people encounter, this is bound to get repaired on the first update.
someone posted that HTC knew nothing about this problem, this is nonsense, many people mailed them about it already.

New TF3D

Does anyone know if the the HD will be compatible with the new TF3d? If im not mistaken HTC usually updates the phones when a new version of its UI comes out, but has there been any official word for the HD?
I like the HD, but the new UI (particular the contacts) is so much better than the vanilla wm6.1 version.

The answer is a definite yes.
Check out Dutty's 1.8 Extreme ROM, he already has the HD running on the new version of TF3D I've been using it for a few days now and it's very good..

TF3d v2 only
Is it possible to get only the TF3D v2 cab?

no, currently you have to flash Dutty's rom

Sweet thnks for the reply guys this makes the decision on getting the HD much easier

yeah, but the cab would be cool

my question is.. if dutty have the new tf3d on his rom, where did he found these files?
and we are not able to find it?

A wild guess: He has access to a Diamond 2 or Touch Pro 2 ROM The hardware of the HD is practicaly identical as well as the screen resolution so porting if any would be limited to disabling any eventual hardware checks for the particular device.
Have you ever wondered how we already have WinMo 6.5 for our devices while it's still at least 6 months away from market It was the same with 6.0 and 6.1

Anyone found a CAB for the TF3D V.2 for the HD? I don't want to flash my ROM, I haven't done it before and I am a bit iffy about it as I may lose everything on my phone with an hard reset. Anyone out there?

Bump! Anyone can help?

I see what you mean, I would like to have it also!

I guess we just have to flash our ROMs. LOL.

As far as I know, there are no cabs for TF3D V.2 (manila v3) and there aren't any in the making (and there won't, as I don't believe it's possible to intergrate the neccessary changes without cooking them into the ROM).
If you want it, you're gonna have to flash to a cooked ROM (or maybe an htc ROM if they choose to ever release one).
Sorry

I now know. If it was available, I am sure the cheifs here would of done one already. I just don't understand why HTC won't update these UIs for free. Free upgrades to the newest TF3D will be great and will create more loyal users. As most users won't change their phones every year. They will feel happier if they can just update the UI and use it as a new phone once in a while. I think free upgrades for phones up to 3 years old is a cool idea.

POLL: WM61 or WM65?

Well, still WM65 is not being officially released, but thx to all dev's here, there are already some ROMs to try out.
I just saw a video of a recent ROM built
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCHhzRzvQb8
(based on this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530620)
Well, the today-screen looks ok. Somehow. I might miss the Tochflo2D, as I got already used to it pretty good.
But what I see (and already found out with some prior WM65 ROMs), I miss the "regular start menue". 7 favorite apps and 5 recent used apps.
So here is the poll question:
WM61 or WM65?

its too early for this
hi
i do appreciate ur effort but dont u thing its too early for this as MS has not yet released the original version of 6.5 and all existing 6.5 are only beta
and yes naturally their are many bugs in the now available 6.5
once MS has launched the official 6.5 then we can do the comparison
this is just my suggestion thats all
and the ROM u have mentioned in the below link has been provided by me (not created just provided to that's all)
and the newer versions which i have also posted do have both M2d & titanium so u can also enjoy M2d & titanium on 6.5

HD2 Coming Tmrw! First thing?

Hey, my long awaited HD2 is coming tmrw!!! WOOHOO! YES!
Okay, all excitement over, what is the first thing I should do?
As in, screen tests, setting tweaks, etc?
Also, can someone step by step go through how to flash a EnergyROM onto the device later, once I have it?
Thanks,

Thanks man, I've heard so much good about it, but lately there have been so many bugs/problems being discussed on the forums, that I'm slightly scared.
Okay, thanks for the advice, will do. I just was looking at some ROMs, and saw how awesome Energy looked with MaxManilia haha

Hi there! Welcome to XDA Developers
I see your HD2 is arriving soon! Trust me it is SHINY!!!
And you'll love the way the device balances in your hand. Anyways, i'd suggest first of all to learn how to use the phone. Like, familiarise yourself with the layout, play around with the camera, and best of all flow through the Sense UI.
To learn how to flash ROMS, go to the HD2 Rom development section and head into the HSPL Guide there. Everything is mentioned step-by-step. Follow instructions carefully
That said, i'll strongly advice you try out more than one ROM, as each chef has his/her own unique taste and preferances. You're sure to find a ROM that's "just right" for you!
Remember to install Chainfire's HD2 Driver Patch, as that'll make your device run even smoother. Finally, browse through the General forum, and make sure you check out the Tips and Tricks forum, which is a life saver! If you want, also update your phone's Radio Version (found in the ROM Development Section)

hehe np m8 just play around with it and when the time comes that u say damn i hate this stock rom flash asap xD
And about the bugs/problems they can be fixed, the new roms that are out now cooked by the chefs have no big issues so thers nothing to worry about.
And yes EnergyRoms are just awesome i personally have to say best rom ive used so far its fast, stable and its eyecatching everything that i need is in this rom ^^

have a good search on this site there is some cracking tweaks and cabs oout there, i have flashed alot of roms lol i have a problem but found one i love
[ROMeOS4](06MAR-v4.03.210|576MB)[WM655-23541][S-20121412] SO MANY ROMs,WANT THE BEST
is defo worth a go, also one of the best cabs is
All Opera Mobile/Mini versions: Official thread , use the Opera 10 B3 Repack (No Prompts/Flash Lite/Rotation/More its cracking web browser
and finally u gotta get
Co0kie's Home Tab - Extended QuickLinks, Appointments and More
and his editor, its top notch , hope u enjoy your htc hd2

Thanks
@Elemental_fire
Thanks for the warm welcome! Im a total noob, so thanks for all the info, I will be sure to install the patch, and browse the ROMS section. Im sure its VERY shiny!
@vietprid3
Im sure i'll get tired of the stock ROM quickly, all the others just look amazing haha. Very eye catching!
Thanks, Energy is the first i'm trying!
@DanJohnson19855
Thanks, I will try out that ROM later on, and that cab of the browser looks good
I see everyone uses cookie, and much less of MaxManila (the two kinda i've seen), why is that?

Hey Gamer,
Congrats i'm sure you will be happy with your choice. I would see how the stock rom fairs up for a couple of days nothing against custom roms some of the do look great! A friend of mine uses the ENERGY Roms. But i'm still running on stock just upgraded to 1.66 today but still loving it even though it isn't modded.

I suppose that the cookie mod imitates the iPhone's app screen? Maybe people will be like "My device has 3 UI's in 1: iPhone home which is what the cookie rom seems to do, then there's the WinMo Start button, when you tap that, you get the Program menu...and last but not least...HTC Sense
Plus it gives a more wider base for the HD2 to stand on (if that made Sense)
Mind the pun

Well there are 2 ways of getting the 1.66 Rom, first would be HTC's website, then Support, and go to the ROM update (You'll need to enter some digits found under your phone battery) OR...you can go to the HD2 ROM Development section and then look under the Stock Roms (easier and faster in my opinion than going all the way to HTC's website!)
Ps. EnergyRoms are amazing...you won't know until you try and experiance it for yourself! There are many tweaks etc applied...and it has a cool theme set. You'll also get regular updates

As Mr Elemental_Fire says, I would go for getting the rom via HD2 Development section. I downloaded the from from HTC website and for such a small file it seemed to take ages.(Could of just been the shonkey EU server though)
