[Q] How to replace video driver? - Windows Mobile

To begin with, I'll try to describe my issue . I'm making different ROM's for JAQ3 phone and so far I couldn't fix poor video performance. It's OMAP850-based device so I think that the best way is to replace those drivers with HTC files and this is where I need your help. I want to know which files are responsible for video rendering so I can replace them. This phone has video issues even with original WM 5 ROM and that's why I want to finally fix this. Thanks for your help .

Anybody willing to help ?

Hey, are you there ? I just need names of some files I need to replace, please help me. Please .

Htc Video drivers are stored in DDI.dll ,but you cant grab them from a phone to another.
You can try to use htc_d3dm.dll , that its the Direct 3D drivers.

So, ddi.dll is responsible for bad video performance, right? I've tried replacing D3DM drivers but this gave me nothing so I bet it's the first file. Am I right?
Just one example in CorePlayer, if I play video I get 276% in benchmark, but when I go to fullscreen mode, the speed is lowered to 80% .

ahi2dati.dll, gxdma.dll, d3dm_ati.dll, libgles_cm.dll?
And you need this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\D3DM\Drivers]
"LocalHook"="d3dm_ati.dll"
I never had a OMAP processor device, so keep in mind this might be wrong
EDIT: If you cook those files, use them as modules, not files. So this will work much, much faster.

Thanks for help, I'll try it . What about ddraw.dll and gx.dll? I guess those files are generic so replacing them won't change anything.

Hi, it's not at all better, but the only way to stream Real' files (like .ram) Many radio' stations use these files to offer their content, such as BBC...
I am still unable to get Real to work on my PPC

Replace HTC Touch Conn. Manager Icons

I have disabled all running processes said to be relevant, yet I am still not getting the access rights here. BTW I am replacing the Sprint (yellow) icons with the original (blue icons)...
Any tips here?
Thanks!
I know someone has to have faced this issue. Don't be shy.
The Graphics of the Comm Manager are stored in \Windows --> ReadOnlyMemory
Guess what it means...
Sorry but no way except replacing the graphics while cooking your own rom.
Greetings, Vi
or u can try using reshack
its very easy if u install Resco Explorer..it lets u write files or over right files IN ROM also..

i will receive my pro (universal) today

hiii
i will join you, universal owners after couple of hours
i dont know anything about phone, but processor seems good, so i will buy an universal after 2-3 hours.. will pay 175euro for used one.. without accessories..
before buying what should you suggest me to check? should i check if its g3 or g4? is there price difference between g3 n g3
what do you suggest me to do first?? which rom version should i install-- which is more stable. is Victors rom good?
i first need to unlock device from tmobile.. i will try with files that i downloaded from buzzdev
then i will upgrade the rom and wm6
thanks...
i have it now. ))))))) yuppiii
guys, after unlocking device my Radio version is 0.00.00
how can i upgrade the radio version? what does Radio mean? thanks all
best point to start is the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UNI_Radio
muchos gracias..
please note that wm6 roms do not have good working video call (yet). You might wanna try wm5 roms first.
jwright's 1.90.96 is superb IMO.
thanks guys.. have a nice year 2008.................
does anyone know how to change splash screen image (t-mobile)
i searched but, that welcomehead.192.png image file under /windows belongs to rom and cant be overwritten or changed
and does anyone has any sample image file which is 640x480 pixel to make splash screen
search for total commander, it's free.
i tried with Total Commander, but i cant change its name and properties (readonly, system, hidden, on rom)
Total Commander (and also Resco Explorer) will allow you to overwrite the file without changing the target's properties. At least this is something I see everytime after loading a new ROM, when I replace the two Tahoma font files with better versions from Windows XP (that look much better with Cleartype switched on).
thanks guys.. i have some more questions..
# can i Print an image or document directly from pocket pc? printer is on network (lan)
# i coulnd run FLV files with tcmp or another (even i installed plugin from sourceforge)
# how can i set default saving folder as STORE CARD for programs like internet explorer etc..
# do you know any programs for running streaming media? (to watch tv, or listen radio)
# which program do u suggest to use pocket pc as webcam?
# i bought a bluetooth headset, i can listen music.. and i installed a program called Voice command in order to give commands from microphone to run or do a task.. but i dont know how it works.. has anyone any tips?
# which programs do you suggest me to install for more fun
i didnt like this fat phone.. i guess i will sell it.. or maybe i should flash wm5 rom instead of current wm6..
i flashed wm5 rom (vanilla tmobile)... and i am happier than before... ooh..
after 10days buying it i sold it away.........
I'm sorry, but what exactly was the point of this thread??

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation
i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status
mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????
i tried both , but i couldnt
You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.
Did you flashed your ROM recently?
it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same
i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.
yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also
my active sync is working in perfect condition, i dont know wht happend , ok , is there anything that i can upgrade my phone ???

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you

i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.
I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.
thanx alot
you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device
Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?
same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.

post the fonts let me take a look.
Thanks The actual characters I am after are at: 10d0-10fb. I've playing with this for a while. Actually what I did, was copy the sylfaen.ttf into one of the first WP7 images for HD2, tweaked some registry and recoocked the ROM. But this did not work. After several failures I quit trying hoping that MS would eventually add Georgian letter support to OS. But with all this new updates, support for Georgian letter is still missing. So, if you could help I and probably all the Georgian language community would appreciate your help.
Its gona be a bit of a hastle I think! with not much of a change altho its worth looking in to because I would'nt mind useing some other fonts on my system.
You can view the fonts on your phone useing touchexperiance
On your pc just open touchexperiance and open the file browser
Next go down the the section of files that start with S and you will see 9 fonts
segoeui.ttf
segoeuib.ttf
SegoWP.ttf
SegoWP-Black.ttf
SegoWP-Bold.ttf
SegoWP-Light.ttf
SegoWP-Semibold.ttf
SegoWP-Semilight.ttf
seguisym.tff
Im gessing replaceing the one's that says segoeui.ttf & segoeuib.ttf would be a good one's to try with.
Anyway im not sure what font is used buy the system or where you could change teh directory posibbly in shell Not sure?
The fonts might be overrideable or unmoveable not sure?
Some of the fonta are defenetly made strickly for windows phone 7
But you might beable to rename your font and usse it as a system font but agin not sure?
This might requre a custom update or a cooked in rom to use not sure!
The file you sent me was alredy instaled on my PC.
The fonts are digitaly sined by microsoft so im not sure if useing a diffrent one would break the system updates or if its even posible to modify without bulding a custom rom
In all honisty in order to do it and make it look right you would need 9 new versions of sylfaen.ttf
If I end up cooking my owen rom I will defenetly be trying to use custom fonts
but for now I have other projects im trying to finnish
If you want to look in to any of the things I mentioned & report back to let us know that would be good keep at it im sure you will figure it out if you dotn let us know whare you are stuck!
I know thats dose'nt help much but maby you have an idia about ware to start depending how bad you want them.
Puting together a nice pack of 9 fonts all the same that match orignals wouldbe a good start.
We could probly put together a nice quality custom update with that.
Well goodluck!
The fonts are placed into windows directory (by default) you can actually change the location of the fonts from the registry. If interested I can send you the extract from the WPk7 registry file, where the fonts and font linking is done. As mentioned I have coocked my own ROM with sylfaen in windows directory and changed some settings in the registry. It seems that copying the font only doesnot solve the problem, there is the registry key where you have to add the your font to. It is quite interesting, because all the fonts seem to link to SegoWP. The problem is that the range for Georgian fonts is actually present in all the fonts that a factory present in WP7. The only problem is that that range is empty. Thus, when viewing Georgian pages you recive blank squares instead of charachters. With my own cocked ROM with sylfaen.ttf in it, I recieved quite strange results, MS Word would display Georgian text perfectly, Outlook would not. The strangest happened to IE when viewing georgian pages... The page would start blinking?!? Very strange. At this point I quite playing arround with this prodject, as I got to the max I could do I was thinking of using the xap install/update method that Da_G provided, but it is too techy for me.
Thanks anyway.
