Hi,
I have a Topaz and a Pure both running the official 6.5 from HTC. My Topaz has VGA as a recording option but my Pure only goes up to CIF (352x288).
Is there a reg entry or similar where I can enable VGA on my Pure?
Thanks!
What's weird is under HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera|Video, RecordSizeList shows 250\1024\2048.
Can't find the other settings.
I just stared at the regs of both the D2 and Pure for awhile and I can't figure it out. I also saw AVI in there but can't figure out how/if it can be enabled.
Wish someone knew how to activate VGA mode for Pure. I'm running the exact same rom on both devices but only VGA available on the Topaz...

Check in system properties the exact ID of your processor, it may be that your topaz have MSM7200A and your Pure the MSM7201A. Same procs, EXCEPT that the 7201 have the [email protected] FPS recording disabled for patent reasons in the US...
Wow, thanks. I did notice the different processors but never thought that could be it.

Hello all, I had a few questions that I was unsure of the exact answer as some of the topics I found relating seemed kind of vague exactly so I wanted to be sure.
1) Found the answer in another thread.
2) Is there a difference between running QVGA and VGA applications on the titan? For example the newest opera 9.5 build. I have seen two different versions posted one that was QVGA and one that is VGA. Is there a performance difference to running VGA or any reason to choose VGA over QVGA or vice versa?
I had a 3rd question but it seems to have slipped my mind right now so I will edit this if it comes back into mind. Thanks
Titan is a QVGA device. You will get better performance with a QVGA program. I have not tried it, but would think the vga program would not render properly on the titan and it would for sure eat more RAM, but again, just my programming background talking.
A new version of Skyfire was released today.
thank you for the update.
thanks for the update.
I third that.
Thanks
Downloading and testing out now.
Sweet. Going to try it now.
What are the improvements?
it says checking flight mode.
then when i untick the proxy,
it says locating. either ways its not working why?
Just tried it and with this version I could not get any audio on Last.FM, anyone else got an audio bug? I'll soft reset and try playing with it a bit more.
Still doesn't support omnia
For the curious, the version number is 0.85.0.8184

Omnia its a WQVGA phone, i dunnow why developer hates omnia :/ just cause its a diferetn scren res
This new version is faster than previous .7927. Less lag and it perform fast on every click. Works fine here on Kaiser.
So, if there is any never version, do upload here again

yeah I contact them regarding the LG Incite (same res as Omnia) and they sent me a canned response indicating that 240X400 is not supported. It would have been nice if they at least said something about possible future support. At least Opera works.
anyone know how to get scrolling working with this? I have ftouchsl installed on my trinity and scrolling works great with opera but doesnt work at all with skyfire.... it doesn't support scrolling?
It supports native scrolling, maybe you should add skyfire to Ftouchflo exceptions (there may be a conflict).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509704
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
peace
I have found a version of the panoramic desktop mod for touchflo3d2 but i found it in the xperia forums and it has some issues with the rhodum touchflo.

Everything is working but I have a few questions...
The third picture is barely visible... I mean only a little bit of it becomes visible before the scrolling ends...
What is the optimal res. for pictures to Rhodium?

I'm using Rotastrain's as well on my Vodafone Stock rom, it works perfectly. The guide how to apply your own background panoramic images works perfectly for the TP2 as well.

Can you see all of the third pic?
Are you using 512x512x3?
I tried the vertical ver. as well but no luck :-(
Im having the vertical line and horizontal white line above the sofkeys. Is there a fix for TP2?

To fix third pic issue combine the three pics you wanna use into to one large 1536x512 photo. Scale down to 1200 x 512. Copy the image and open a new file with the scale 1536x512. Paste the 1200x512 copy into the 1536x512 new file. Then follow the directions by cutting it into three 512x512 pieces. The third 512x512 piece will be most while but this doesnt matter because the white portion will be cut off and you'll only see the part of the image that matches the other two pieces.
can anyone tell me if Rotastrain's version will work on the verizon TP2 stock rom...i love altering things on these windows phones but ive never been a big fan of flashing roms...i know, i know...all you guys are gonna say "you dont know what you're missing out on" but hey, thats just my preference...especially with how quick and responsive the tp2 is...oh geez, i got sidetracked...again, will Rotastrain's version of the panoramic background work on the stock rom verizon tp2??? thanks in advance and sorry for the mind wondering

Hello,
No response maybe because nobody have it for the test -
I receive my hd mini, next week i will give a try.
@+++
I'll try to check tomorrow; along with Slingplayer, Mobile Shell, Calendar Touch, Coreplayer, HiCalc... Just a question of whether developers think WM6.5 HVGA or WP7 devices will be the biggest market over the next few months.

Thanks in advance.
Looking forwared to hear more
TomTom 7.915 working without a problem on HD Mini; first lock took about a minute, subsequent locks about 10s.
Also Coreplayer decoding DVD-ripped 700Mb movie files with a benchmark of about 105%, which is much better than I was expecting.

Could you tell me what version of Coreplayer you used?
I can only get sound working but no image, I tried .avi & .mp4 files
I have Coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427; the trick is to change the Menu->Tools->Settings->Video output type to Raw Framebuffer; GDI seems to work too, but not as well.

It seems to work with both but I don't see a notable difference.
TomTom is very important for me.
Now I'm just waiting for the HD Mini to be released in Denmark.
I agree.....no TomTom no phone......
You can order already the WWE version on various places....
using qvga tomtom and no problems. some minor crashing text on the gps status screen but nothing to worry about.
