Hey,
Due to the other NFS Hardware accelerated G-Sensor thread becoming cluttered with links and people comparing it to iPhone version, I have raised this thread.
Please can people post possible solutions to the various errors people get. I, for one, get a black screen and non-responsive phone right after the NFS UNDERCOVER screen after it asks if I want sound.
I've also had the no memory error on another ROM.
The strange thing is it worked on the original drivers, changed to ATI and it stopped working. Changed back - still not working. Reinstalled the ROM (hard reset) and STILL not working.
Solutions please, along with the problems that are solved with that solution.
Cheers!
Omnia drivers
Try Omnia 3d Drivers ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion but I really don't think this is a good idea. For one, the Omnia drivers have already been tried and they are in relation to Direct3D-accelerated apps/games etc so it is not applicable to an OpenGLES-accelerated game such as NFS Undercover. Secondly, it has been found that in the case of D3D, the Samsung drivers have done better than the native software rendering drivers provided by HTC. However, the best drivers for the Diamond and other HTC phones with such a Qualcomm MSM7201A 528Mhz chipset is that the ATI ones are hardware-accelerated D3D drivers, and hence are the best for D3D. Not OGLES.
Some off-topicness, but some clarifications so others don't fall in the same pitfalls.
I think the real problem lies in the differences between the original HTC ROM and cooked ROMs. If we can figure out what specific difference is causing the black screen (I have it too), then we can figure out a solution quick enough. Hopefully.
Strange thing is - i've had it working on cooked roms. It was only after i changed to ATI drivers did it stop working.
Also, as I said, when I re-installed the same ROM (hard-reset) it wasnt working again.
Needless to say I'm completely confused!
Thanks for the clarification though Nuke, didn't know that!
nuke1 is 100% right... I'm also 100% sure that the ATI drivers does nothing to improve the performance in NFS Undercover since it's an OpenGL ES game.
The ATI drivers are D3D drivers.

After trying with several rooms and several ways (Cab extraction, cab instalation, etc) it worked with the MAcadam v1.2 when i extracted it and transfered to the storage. I don't know why also, but others cooked rooms didn't worked. Trying to foun out cause i want it to work on my own rom...
Found a way to fix it
Enable TF3D!
Any idea why enabling Touch3d would make the game work?
Down point about this : TF3D stops the fone going into landscape so cant play in landscape :-( But still works!
Need to see if anyone has an answer!
My recent experience with the black screen - it didn't work using Shep's WM6.5 until I enables TF3D2. Something about the G-sensor drivers with HTC versus the native WM6.5. I tried removing video drivers, adding drivers. For me, it all boiled down to the g-sensor. Cooked roms might be hit and miss based on what the chefs do with the g-sensor stuff.
In my case it just doesn't work. I use standard HTC ROM, I disable TF3D to get extra memory, and everything, but I just can't get pass the black screen that freezes my phone completely, so I have to soft reset. This only happens in G-sensor version. Other one, with on screen comands runs with no problem. It would just be much better to control the car with tilting. Tried to look for solution several places, but no one seems to know the solution to this one. Looks like no NFS for me
I am using XBMOD Manila Rom, in that it was working excellently
where do you guys get nfs i've looked for it but it says its not for diamond
can someone post a link?
you have to buy it.It's not free.Or if you want you can download the trial version
Yes i no that but i cant find the correct one there supoosively 2

As said above.
I dont get why we were not given a cube, when it seems everone else has
Awell, anyone know if any other already made one's will work ?
My neighbour whos got one has managed to get a few apps installed already, ill try to post them later on.
Hi
it seems we were not given a cube primeraly because we have a bottom-end machine.
we have the same chipset as for instance the touch, yet we have no wifi and 3g (we do have GPS whichs kicks ass!) not that 3g and wifi is neccesary, i think 3g and wifi have been disabled in our device.
pls read this thread, and if you can help with the files that would be great!

Touch Cube woks on Pharos
I installed Touch Cube (ported from Polaris) into Pharos the other days. Work fine for me...only a bit slower than 'Elfin, Dual, Polaris' while operating. Need some more registry adjustment, I guess.
Screen is not flat
It works on Pharos, I have tried and finally removed.
BTW, I don't think running Cube in Pharos is good because the LCD screen is not flat like Elf/Elfin, Dual or Cruise.

It might not be, but it wasnt a good idea for the touch cruise either because they dont have the grapics driver ive heard complaints that its very slow on the polaris
I still want it .. because then i can choose whether to keep it or not... its mostly eye candy anyway. I find the htc home plugin works great too
Shame I didnt get a reply from suracha, bita would you like to share what you did to get the cube installed and working?
Here is where i am.
I have installed touch stettings v1.22 by Carlos(fatattitude.com)
I installed the Kokotas cabs quickdial and Biotouch.
Also I've put files in the windows dir: MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.exe,LaunchStartupApp.lst and startupbiotouch.exe
A guy that has the polaris has sent me his reg settings.. so now Im looking through those!
And it seems i miss some in the hklm\biotouch so Im gonna look some more and then change my settings maybe that will help!
Hi folks,
i saw some threads in the development section for manila 2d (which really looks cool). I'm wondering if this works on my HTC Touch!? I'm also not sure if there is a cab install version available - or is a rom flash needed (don't want to do that again...)
has anybody already some experiance with manila 2d?
thanks for any information!
you'll notice that there's a thread a few posts down with the Title "touchFLO 2D on ELF" this is the same thing as Manila 2D. It's a simple cab install and works just fine.
Just try it you will love it.
Looks good, but it doesn't work as it should. On my Elfin Audio Mgr 2 doesn't start, system runs veeery slowly even after uninstalling TF2D (hard reset helps) and cable is causing system freeze :/
just tried it and it really looks cool! It works without any problems...
Sad thing is, that its not working together with any other today plugins...

I also have some problems with this panel, after I installed it to my Xperia I have serious problems, it's look great but it's very slow and after open a few other panels my phone just block, I've to reset the Xperia and then I can go on, so I deside to uninstall it but now way it stay's, and after looking in my installed programms it is gone??? I can't uninstall it and I suppose that the only sollution could be a factory restore. I'ts a pitty it don't work like it should be cause I find it a great interface so if anyone could give us some advise they're welcome. I did install the second little program tf3d_panel but even that bring it to full speed and error free

Atharia,
Just as nobody has replied and I don't want you to be left in the dark
Have you checked anything in the blackstone forum? That would be a more appropriate place for you to be searching. I understand you may have search for HTC Touch, and that would probabaly be why you came here.
On the other hand though, I think you're phone may actually come with what had been ported to this phone - don't quote me on that but I am sure that it had touchflo as standard?
Stu
Hello All,
I purchased Touch Cruise (Polaris) from a reseller in middle east (came with windows mobile 6.0). I couldn't find the updates for my phone on HTC website.
After going thru the threads here, I found that doing a hard-spl I can install the WWE version of wm6.1
I used hard-splv2 olinex then installed wm6.1 (official), installed 3d drivers (htc-ca-Polaris-drivers.cab) everything worked smooth.
Then, I installed the TF3d cab found in one of the posts here, restarted and it worked good for 5 mins. Then, the phone became too slow and sometimes I had to remove the battery to restart as the screen freezes and I cannot even see the shutdown message (yes / No).
I haven't installed anything else besides the above mentioned cabs.
I have seen the videos of Polaris with TF3d in youtube and wonder why my phone doesn't work like that.
Please help.
regards
Niranjan
quick answer
you have some reading my friend
1. please read the R1 bug fixing list first - this will give you very good perspective on what might basically wrong with your setting
2. All developers as well as testers are saying that the 3D issue is not "Daily" use yet - so my recommendation for you go back to the 2D for now and watch closely after the progress of the great developers here
Yep, unfortunately you have to flash the ROM again and perform a HR 'cause something of the 3D drivers still stand and your device could remain very slow. I suggest to flash M-Amine's creation, best ROM with 3D drivers and Manila 2D till now
tf3d is not yet designe to work smoothly with Polaris. it's only the 2nd public release which something like prebeta
it consumes massive amounts of battery power and has some driver issues.
i'm sure that when the final release comes out you'll hear about it here.

get it install it set it to run (maybe add it as an exclusion to taskmanager) it's superb.
If chainfire can get it running as a service it will be amazing!
Video playback is better, opera performance is better. overall it's better!
(this may not work on a stock rom, but I think all the files are there)..
touch it
recommended for itjes touch it 7.x as well?
Thanks...I'll try it...
If it's recommended by fards...that means it's good
Did anyone try it with Stock ROM?
I found it breaks the R3A Camera app. Anyone else can confirm it before we file a bug to Chainfire.

The 1st run sees nothing on the screen, but close the camera app and start again will works.
r3a camera app working fine here
weird bug here....s2u2 i messed up in portrait mode....well it's worth it though considering the major performance improvement.....
@Fards : I would change the thread title as its definitely not only video playback benefiting from this tweak !!
camera working fine here, using itje ver 7.1
Thanks for posting this program, I have benchmarked GfxBoost with Spb Bench, SpeedBooster2 Bench and SKTools Bench to see if there was a quantitive improvement we could measure, apart from the glowing testimonials I have read. I have posted the results on the Turbo Speed Rom 2 thread out of respect for your thread.
Does this patch have uninstall? If it breaks something, can I uninstall it so that everything is as it was? Or it can not be unintstalled/can't revert changes?
How can i add an exception for it?
Is it a registry value?

Quoted from linked thread:
"TFM (The F*ing Manual, read it!)
Requirements
An HTC-built MSM7K-based device, sporting QTV and some similar nonsense. In general, I would say this this is the entire range between the Vogue and the Touch Pro, though I've only tested it on Kaiser and Touch Pro, and both are GSM.
Installation
- Install the CAB on your device
- Soft-reset (does not seem to be needed on all devices)
- Start GfxBoost and click Enable
Uninstallation
- Start GfxBoost (if not running) and click Disable
- Uninstall CAB as usual"
I daresay you can uninstall it with no problem... The app requires installation as well as activation through running the app to work, so no changes are permanently made.

My bad, thanks for that. I do not know how I skipped something that I needed to know.
On my stock R2AA008 the camera works with no problem after enabling GfxBoost.
Just tested it with status Enabled (Active) and I can't say I like it. Video performance is not better at all. At least not with coreplayer. I was using it with qtv output even before this GfxBoost, but with enabled, I must switch to other video output otherwise there is no video rendered on the screen.
iGO8 is not faster with this tweak, or at least I can't say I saw any difference. The same is valid for opera. No visual improvement at all. SPB mobile shell 3.0 too.
The only thing that I need to mention for my results is that I already have ATi graphics drivers installed on my X1 (the UI is generally faster with them), so maybe because of that I can't see any improvements with this GfxBoost.
Where are the ATI drivers from? Also I thought coreplayer didn't really make use of the processing powers of the xperia at all.

Currently coreplayer does not utilize the VGA acceleration by video playback, only WMP/Media Panel does.
I was talking for these drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486713&highlight=graphics+driver
The ati D3D.zip package.
I noticed that my battery is going down really fast when i enable it. Like the battery losses 10% every couple of hours or so. It never noticed my battery to go down that fast before.
hey,
i installed it earlier and it seems to be working quite well for me, quite a few things are smoother... such as opera, tf3d, even coreplayer!
quite remarkable really!
my hat off to chainfire! one of the very few problems with the x1 (video performance) being dealt a serious blow
my other hat off to itje! for all his cooking!
and my other hat to fard! for all his bug fixing and general help
thanks all

I have a G3 Hero from china which have windows mobile 6.5.
Seems to work
I miss the Touch Flo UI. Its a HVGA screen.
Is it possible to run some cab to have a touch flo?
erm could you share a backup or something?`Oo
Are you sure it`s not just a chinese clone?
Hero
yes its something from china- but seems to be the same device (also htc sync contains fitting driver)
Afaik, this is a fake, as there have been a few similar posts here about these devices and how to do a hard reset when they crash.
But to the best of my knowledge, these are pretty much eschewed by devs, and I don't think touchflo is as simple as a cab to install.
but why in the hell would someone have WM6.5 instead of any other OS ???
a fake? my post? my device?
I have it - i use it.- it works- Touch flo is nothing else the a shell ala spbmobile shell (which works perfect). I already installed two T3DF's which runs in general but doesnt shows up the right ui. Do you thing HTC can change an 3rd party os?
Anyway- I believe key points for shell and working is OS (6.5) processor (Qualcomm /arm) and screen resolution HVGA . If that fits- I see no reason why not.
But back to my question. Who have an idea which of the "hundrets" which are out there could be the working one.
You could download an All In One cab for TF2D, and skin that. I am not so sure for TF3d though. You'd need to change the xml file(s) and resize all the images, unless of course, you manage to find one already done.
After all this is done, there is still no guarantee that it will work. Afterall, TouchFlo is for HTC devices and is HTC Inellectual property. I think they must be pretty annoyed that it has been ripped and thrown on to some China Phones, and also is able to be run on numberous samsung phones etc.

You might get on better over in the winmo forums, as they will be more experienced in this stuff.
