[THE] What the...?! Cameravideo as background

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tiEji2sTyA

oh my god !!!!! I hope it is NOT a fake !!!!!!!!!

Yes, same comment from me...
How the hell did he it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435131

I reccomend to rename this thread hoping the solution - explanation how to use the camera view as background on TF3D can be accomplished.
Can not be else than some reg tweaks - but which ones...THAT is the question

Wow, thats a battery saver
But cool is that the top and bottom menu are trasparent!

My guess is that it is a picture theme and the theme is the tf3d screen, so you probably couldn'y actaully use the phone from there.
Thats what I reckon anyway

guys- look carefully at the clip.
it is not recorded - it is the camera showing live stream as you would record or take a picture.
Certainly not a battery saver as it uses the autofocus function which is mechanic and consumes more.
However, it is really cool.

ahhh... the possibilities
think this, and the beer app!! get it... see through beer glass!

Greetings to all.

looks awesome BUT, thats a CDMA diamond with 256 MB of ram and its running so slow to his gesture commands. i have a feeling that it would make your GSM diamonds puke and it would be bailrly useable for the CDMA users. HOWEVER it is very sweet!

So...it is or it isn't a fake !?

T-Mobile version is a Victor by design, not that it matters
it isnt standard anyway; ive got one. the standard rom is as slow as it gets.

At 16secs when taking the phone towards the camera he should have took the camera towards the phone: the phone's image dont change.
I believe it is really a fake. The image just doesnt look right. That swinging left/right is very unnatural.
So I vote for fake

I don't understand what the big deal is? I don't have that creative of a mind though so maybe I'm not thinking of something cool that could be done with this...

looks fake given the display angle on the screen doesn't match the angle of the camera on the subject.
i suspect it's a mirror that's used to reflect the object image onto the shinny reflective screen on the diamond. But I could be wrong.
regardless, very creative!

I'd say he just used chroma keying

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

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:

is supposed to work fine on the HD. Very similar to HiCalc.

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.

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

Why don't you follow the instructions on getting it on an HTC Blackstone? The Rhodium is pretty much like a Blackstone with a keyboard...
The guy in that video in your link also says he has the Neo Driverpack3 on his phone for the performance.

False! That, sir, is an HD (blackstone). However, you are correct in that it is working on a WVGA screen.

IMO, i think its a pretty useless application ... maybe it is good to see the 3D performance of your device wither it can render it smoothly or not, .. but i would not go and tease others about having it just IMO

I was able to get this program running on my Tilt 2 using AthineOS 23518 and by putting the HTCAPI.DLL in the windows folder with Total Commander. It seems to have tearing issues. I assume the drivers mentioned in the instructions would correct this.
*EDIT*
I can confirm that the Neo v3 drivers have no effect on performance of this program on the Tilt 2. It holds an average of 25FPS, but has tearing issues.
I wouldn't go showing this off if you plan to impress anyone...

Thanks for the app.
After installing the Neo DriverPack 3 and moving the the HTCApi .dll file into the installed program file, it works just fine, with minor tears which I think isn't much noticable, but all-in-all it actually works on my TP2.

ATX84 ~~ NRGZ28 energyrom custom boot animation ~~ Updated July 8th

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
