Has anybody tried running the new GfxBoost program on their Touch Cruises?
I was wondering if there was an increase in performance and also if it impacted the battery life of the phone.
I tried version 1.0 but my Cruise freezes...
Now im using Neos2007SVG drivers...
I tried version 1.0 service work well but camera no work

Do you notice any speed improvement? 3D or 2D?
version 1.1 works on my polaris with wm6.5
installs ok, SR, process & service works, camera works
now i use MS3 + M2D together and its like it was, after SR graphics works slow then i turn screen off & on and it works fast as it was but i see no improvements,
windows wm6.5 default today plugin works not very smooth as it was,
file explorers (resco and windows explorer) scrolls same speed as it was,
3d games (virtual pool & 3d mines) works same as it was,
igo8 same as it was
so....it works but doesnt improve
edit:
i tried now driver from HERE and its definitely improving file explorer scroll

3. Open directory where you have installed THPS2 and delete orginall file libgles_cl.dll from this directory
4. Edit file TH2_OPT.CFG :
- set RESOLUTION=640x480
- set Quality=High
Save file and close.
5. Run THPS2.exe or THPS2 shortcut in Games and enjoy!!

ok i will give it a try i played it few years ago
Very nice, just tested it out, works very smoothly, full screen, full speed and the screen rotates to the correct orientation once the HW keyboard is opened.
Using the same file and method you can get Quake mobile to start but it crashes once it starts to load the game files. Any Ideas?

Is this file " libgles_cl.dll " an alternative display driver for the X1, does it give any video and performance increases on any other programs you have tested ?

Yes, I have also managed to run Quake III Arena accelerated version (I have problems with texturing yet, but it maybe problem of config file), and software version with more fps (from 7-8 to 14-15). Also DoomGLES is working now but it is not visable ok on the screen (the screen is moved but I have tested only Doom 1 for now).
where to get software version??
I love it when things keep getting better
<3 the X1
Though, is this really full speed? Is the speed the same on the x51v, how do the gpus compare? And is it the gpu or the cpu slowing it down, could maybe overclocking the cpu give me a speed boost? Anyway it's cool you can map the game to the keyboard aswell. Lovely PC ports
By the way, how about the accelerated version of Stuntcar Extreme, does it work too?

Added a forwarder to remap hardcoded CL calls to the Imageon CM dll

In others words, it's a wrapper driver to forward calls to our X1's native API to enable hardware accelation on some games.
BTW, I found X1 is even smoother than my x51v in the game play.

That's interesting as I did the GLES benchmark and ended up with measly 880 points in WVGA and around 990 in VGA while the x51v supposedly gets around 1200. I've even seen someone getting 1290 with a diamond, is such low score normal for the X1 or is there a way to improve it?

I don't have THPS2 software either. I was able to get the accelerated version, but it does not work well as there are no textures in the skate parks. I think there is a software AND hardware version of THPS2, and even when I set the hardware version to use software rendering, it will not load the level.
Would be great to get a test version of THPS2 software/unaccelerated, but alas, WAREZ ARE NOT ALLOWED!
I'm also quite interested in Dutty's new D3D drivers. I don't suppose there is a chance that they will wreck my X1, as it looks like you can uninstall them easily. Also, when deleting a file from \Windows, if that file was in ROM, it should reappear correct? (i.e. I delete the Dutty files that were copied to \Windows, and the originals should take their place)

ive not seen any downsides to these drivers yet.
yes if you "overwrite" a file in rom ghe original remains, so as long as you can delete the replacement then the system will go back to using the original

Freeware is something totally different from open-source.
So, my suggestion: dream on .
Is it possible to adjust the left/right/up/down function to the optical joystick instead of pressing the buttons?
I got problems with the paint peeling off from the buttons! Played too much ;o)
I ve been using it for sometime now..but it doesnt scroll as smoothly as that of the iphone.
can someone tell me why is X1 not as fast as iPhone.
even without iContact i noticed..the Scrolling on it is not as smooth as that in iPhone.
is there a tweak for that?
If u wanna try it ..its here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-icontact-v0-5.html
much better than windows contact list..but not quite as smooth as that of iphone.
It's mostly WinMo's fault that it aint that smooth, the drivers aswell. I wouldnt trade my WinMo phone for anything, I like the ability to run several programs at once
The reason the iPhone can do things so smooth, is mostly because they limit it to run 1 program at the time, so whatever program is running, is actually getting the entire phones dedication
But still, I don't need the smoothness of the iPhone, I just look at the iPhone, and I see: A phone that has old hardware, simple layout and is limited to whatever Apple wants.

There are several vga skins which are working quite nicely. I am using
grzenio_vga
You have to go to burt´s web site and download those vga skins.
For installation you have to use the latest official built 6.4.5, install it, than you can overwrite the files with the latest 7.0.1 beta version.
Install it to itnernal memory.
If you want to use iDialer as well from subro you have to check the name of your program folder. The presetting is "program" (within iConfig) if you have a german system like me you have to change it in iConfig into "Programme".

Here is the Link to Opera Mobile's FTP Server to Download the New Beta of Opera Mobile 7 Beta 1:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/970b1/
I'm Downloading and Installing it now.....Will update you all soon.
______________
I installed it on my QVGA HTC Touch WM 6.1 (Build 21014) on the SD Card and
It Loads without any lag, Fairly fast. Renders and loads pages Pretty well too. No Major issues so far. Graphics and UI look pretty good. I still have to load the Widget Manager and try it out, never was a big fan of these. I will attempt to post some screen shots, but I am at work and may not be able to.
______________
KNOWN BETA ISSUES:
Browser
Opera Turbo in Opera Mobile is still a preview-feature;
Downloads don't work while Opera Turbo is enabled.
Some settings (such as toggle on/off images) do not apply when Opera Turbo is enabled.
On older WM 5.0 Devices with 480x800 resolution, switching between portrait and landscape may cause display errors. This is due to lack of support for this resolution in early versions of Microsoft's driver.
Some input method editors are known not to work well with Opera because they do not comply with Microsoft's SIP and/or IME standard. When such an editor is detected by Opera, Opera will use a known (default) input method instead. An exception is EzInput v1.5, where the phone keypad and compact QUERTY, ABC mode doesn't work, but the rest of the modes work fine. We recommend upgrading to EzInput v2.0 to avoid this.
Only support for FlashLite 3.x. No Flash plugin included.
Widget manager add-on
The Widget manager is an add-on to the browser, so the browser must be installed in order for the widget manager to work.
We recommend disabling Opera Turbo in the browser when using the widget manager.
Rotating widgets does not work properly. Portrait mode should be used when running widgets.
Widgets + Plugins (Flash & Gears) don't work.
Clicking internal links in a widget will launch the browser.
Twitter widget might have login problems on first run. If this happens, just close the Twitter widget (X) and open it again.
omg omg omg
downloading..
ill post screensnhots
haha good thing i didn't go to sleep will try and put screen shots too.
omg it has lag!
looks like its not made for all resolutions
qvga looks freaking weird and lags bad :S
Just downloaded an testing ... another link in megaupload with the two cabs: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OWRCCJ4Q
Yeah I installed it a few minutes ago.
It's just a mess. I guess it isn't for QVGA? Anyone with a VGA device have it working right?
lags bad... :S
yea me too just installed it n it didn't even load.
Hopefully they fix this or it will be an extremely disappointing release
It's awesome on my ATT Fuze (VGA), no flash if people care, also the turbo mode seems to load mobile pages perhaps
Are you guys even using the right cab? I did a little research with the folders on the opera.com domain and got to this:
http://get.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/970b1/
Download the first cab.
I just tried it on my qvga device and its amazing. NO lag. It runs. Nothing seems messed up. Scrolling is EXTREMELY smooth, it's as smooth as the omnia versions but doesn't suffer with the auto-full screen bug and it doesnt lock up while loading as well.
Opera turbo works, though its disabled by default.
So far, i absolutely LOVE it!

I have to agree with zeuzinn, So far it's great on my QVGA Touch. The Link I provided is the only one I found.
This is awesome. Was just wondering about this and was about to go to sleep. Then I hit the New Posts Button. Installing on my Topaz right now.
I gotta say, its MUCH faster than opera 9.5 even with opera turbo disabled, thanks to the new rendering engine.
I just tried the ACID3 test and got 100/100!!!!

Here is an Enhanced D3D Driver for our Touch Pro2. Before you install driver run the D3DDemo file from your phone. Extract D3DMDemo.exe and copy it anywhere on your phone (Storage Card is good). Run it and see how slow it runs with the default D3D Driver. Then install At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver.cab, restart and run the D3DMDemo again and see the difference
Enjoy!
Just to make things clear. I did not develop the driver, it was from the Samsung Omnia and the libgles_CL.dll comes from NuShrike. I have been using it since my TyTN II days, gave it a shot on the Rhodium and it worked. I did not see it in this forum so I cabbed it up (was OEM in my kitchen) and posted it.
The cab file contains two dlls both from the D3DM driver and the correct registry settings for d3dm_ati.dll.
To learn more about this driver and to try newer releases please see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496528
There have been a few reports that the drivers from above thread break a couple of things like the G-Sensor with Opera so I am posting back the original file I had up. Strange since I do not have that problem with the latest drivers from the above thread.
It's up to you to decide which drivers you would like to use.
Rocks!

Cool...glad it is working on other devices.
Been using this driver since the TyTN II then to Raphael and now on to Rhodium Not sure if it is a good or bad thing that the same driver works on the last 3 devices I have...
Wow! It really worked and the M3D really is faster!
Cheers mate!
-ilari
On the Telus (MSM7600) it went from 0.85 ish FPS to a smooth test. Very dramatic change
Same for me here too
is it really faster?
does it mean, that the video-playback is also better?
TF3D is using OpenGL ES or Direct3D? If it's written for OpenGL ES the new drivers should not have any impact over it. It's only my opinion.
Any ideas?
Just to let you know I also went from 0.75 FPS to about 25 FPS.
Crazy change, just don't notice much difference in TF3D.
what's the difference between this and neo's beta 3d driver pack?

Same opinion. But I cannot see fps in the demo after installing the new driver.
The increase in fps is recognizible high in the demo. The object first is absolutely stuck without the driver. With the driver installed it runs fluidly.
in this demo I have a big boost with this driver !!
Whith games work with that driver? My old quake dont work on my TP2
Will this work on MSM 7201 chipset as well? I don't want to make hardreset again if something will going wrong on my TP1. Thanks.
Edit>
Nevermind,I tried it. Unfortunately no visible change happens on Raphael.
No Change
It made no difference on my Touch Pro 1
I installed it on Touch Pro2 and test runs a lot faster. And also TouchFLO 3D runs more smoothly. I don't know why, but it's really faster. I think TF3D2 uses OpenGL-ES and Direct3D driver can't change it's performance.

because we all have different needs for applications and programs on our phones, i was curious to see what everyone has installed and uses most often on your HD2. i myself haven't done much installing, but what i DO have proves to be extremely useful. here's my list and what each program does:
palringo - multi protocol IM program, i had this when i had an HD1...love it
facebook 1.1.0.17 - a deent update to the og app, use this over touch.facebook.com now...
shazam - recognizes nearly any song playing when allowing your phone to 'listen'.
bsb tweaks - many useful tweaks
total commander - use it for registry things and as a better file explorer
gui:
co0kie's home tab - love the 4x4 quick links and the amount you can have
mini hd2 lock screen - haven't tried s2u2 yet, but this is simple and clean
that's about all i have for now. interested to see what other apps, games, and gui tweaks everyone else has. screenshots would be nice, too, if you have them.
