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.
Hi..
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

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.

Thanks for this release.
There is no more TomTom inside. But who needs old TomTom 6.
Regular keyboard is installed by default. There is no more old Polaris "touch" keyboard.
I don't know, but I think that this ROM is really fast.
I just tested IGO 8.31. I think that my GPS signal problem (mentioned in other tread) disappeared with this ROM. I will test IGO on the road.
Here is DDI included in this ROM. DDI version 3.18 and 2 kb bigger than 3.13
http://rapidshare.com/files/162700070/DDI.rar.html
I think that video playback (coreplayer, TCPMP) is really better. Can somebody else test this?
NICE!!
Let's see if we can have something from there...
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers
The size is the same like DDI.DLL in khanx ROM 1.4 - 285.944 bajts... Only version description other...
i'm sorry.. but what exactly is the difference between 3.13 to 3.18..?
Wow! more fun to the stale looking life... Lets the operation begin..
Great share boys!

Without Touch keyboard, does HTC Touch Cruise still live up its name as 'Touch'? Wonder why HTC didn't put this in the latest ROM. Is HTC expecting us to use our finger with the small default keyboard?
By the way, my Video playback seemed to be worse than previous after the upgrade. All those converted video of mine can't be played properly in CorePlayer. Lag a lot in playback.
stable and fast rom
I flashed this rom and tested for several days.
Personally I think this is very good rom, fast, very stable and very smooth, no problem with any function by now.
I tried most of the rom here and now decide to stick this rom. I would strongly recomend people who are looking for stable and fast rom to use this rom.
BTW, I flashed radio 1.59.42.23, I'm not sure if 1.59.42.15 will has same performance or not as I prefer to update to a latest version

Very smooth.
The screen is more sensitive when touching comparing to 3.13.xxx.x, no lag as many cocked roms but more stable than many cocked roms.

FM Radio Problem
Hi.
FM Radio software seems working properly at first look, but if try to search, couldn't find any station.
test QVGA ok! but dont have full functions as video on youtube

Test on my Asus...
Seems to be buggy...
i can't watch picture on my Sd card... appear and disappear...
need more investigations !
Im using in my artemis and every 5 seconds return to the first photo, I can´t change the folder of the pics.
Maybe need other version.
I checked on the O2 XDA IIS so perhaps it is the software for Motosuft A3100/3000 when installed on other PDA will take a lack of functions
test on my kaiser...
not run
Tested on my TG01 : every 5s or so back to 1st photo and no way to use functions...
this will only work on qvga not vga? looks amazing i must say!!!
This was made only for the moto surf a3000. will work for the a3100 but not fully. so other devices may not work for.
work on my td2 but not fully (
it's 5 beautiful seconds Shame it doesn't work on other devices at this point and there's nothing in the registry that can be tweaked...
Looks Great man
Please VGA version......
yea it works on my htc fuze but not perfectly, but let me tell you, if we could get this to work better or closer to perfect wow would this be a bad ass app!!
wow, this is really nice!
will be waiting for a better bug-free version

Hehe
It gives us a sense of false hope.
Man, i would love to see 7 finalized! itll prolly look too sexy for today's phones to handle
Wow? Frankly speaking, any possibilty that the video is trying to tell us SEX1 is able to run WM7?
Like maybe make a special version of WM7 for those phones without accelerometer?
Well the screen are most probably added in post-processing .. it is a professional advertisement. A lot easier than to install WM7 on device clearly under specs, and then shoot the display so it looks good.
They just take current devices to show in this video
The X1 is off: there is no lights in the hardware keyboard when in use...
hope is such a wonderfull thing ^^
Kinda like the original X1 advertisements. No way the R1 stock ROMs were as fast as those shown on the videos.

I don't really think WM7 will be too advanced for the X1, but please don't expect an OEM upgrade.
Minimum specs for WM7 contains 1GHz CPU, g-meter and compass (IIRC). Xperia is clearly not WM7 compatible.

you can say that again, im more satisfied with my rom than the stock R3A
to Dr sid :
Really ??? that doesnt seem to make much sense ... i mean why should be the accelerometer a dependence or even more the digital compass ... they are almost useless features. one for auto rotation and the other for navigation.
about the speed ... hmm im not sure that MHz make incompatibility ... maybe the ram size can be a problem but the Mhz ... a pc can work slower or faster ... but it works in most cases, it seems extreme to go just from wm 6.5 to wm 7 ... and require double processor speed. this has never happened in any wm upgrade ... there are so many old devices running fine with wm 6.5 ... kaiser for example which has even resoultion 320x240 and came out with wm 5... so to me Xperia will be able to run wm 7 ... and i have to agree anyway that the Xperia in the adertisment is tottally turned off ....
a phone with a 1ghz processor!?
I will buy a new phone when they come out with dual core for it
Look, it doesn't matter if its going to require an accelerometer or a compass... while it'll be nice to have, there's a 99% chance that it'll get ported over for WM6.0-6.5 devices, maybe with one or two features missing. Touchflo was never supposed to run on the kaiser, let alone titanium... that phone is a great example of 3 generations of windows mobile upgrades... our devices won't be any different. I'm planning on my topaz and raphael to be running WM7 when the big day comes
I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!
Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do

That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.
Also, a short video or gif would be cool so we can see what we're getting!

X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine
