Hey all,
I don't know how many people have used the new D3D drivers yet, but I just did it with an old Dutty's 6.1 Cube ROM, and oh my God it's like night and day! Just figured I would spam with this fact. Have a nice day .

Are you sure it's not dutty's that is fast?
I think he meant to say the D3D drivers made the cube 'faster' than it was already.
as fast as Winterface... like can I hold the cube in the middle?... lol prolly not cuz of software, but cube was pretty fast either way... can u give us more specifications so we can try it on ours too... like which cube etc...
I'm using slither's cube, and whether it's my imagination or not, it definitely seems faster. Maybe i'll take a video of both when i get the time, and make a real comparison.
This probably should be in the Kaiser Software forum, just for future reference. I'm sure a mod will move it for you though.

which one? his c++ one, or his flash lite one, because i like his c++ one more
also i thought that these drivers didnt work for full-screen apps ?

That is what i thought also. It could be the rom i'm using to Garmin's V2. I'm using his uno cube with the flash lite bundle. The pages flip almost instantly, it's very nice.

lawls, no. The C++ cube was created for the sole reason that there was no 3D acceleration (until recently). I'm talking about the actual cube. It's like greased lightning.
And technically this could go in software or ROM development, since D3D drivers I would consider part of the ROM and not software.
bout time i got a new rom i think as this will not work on my current
Dutty's rom is the cube from the Touch Dual. The FPS Cube. It has always been fast. You can edit the fastnes (fps) in the register....
It does not have anything to do with the drivers.
ahh...I'm a tard. I havent used the cube in so long i didnt remember. Poo. Someone close this thread!
The drivers are only active for D3D applications. Cubes do not use D3D.
For now, only a few applications use D3D (mostly games).

soo is this available as an update
if that was a real sales pitch count me out - a poor attempt to try and mimic the iPhone, they should innovate like their slogan instead of following behind.
Only new feature is the zoom - but honestly how many use your pda as a camera/picture viewer. Now if they also upgraded the camera so as to be on par with nokia's lens' and the n95's spec then I would agree with the R&D in this area.
forgot about the rotate feature...something tells me it would be easier to press the rotate soft key.....
overall you can tell that I am not happy with this upgrade. Sure it can't do no harm but I think that their time could have been spent researching new features yet to be seen by Windows Mobile.
how about a cube like this on your herald?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1552994&postcount=292
that cube looks pretty nice...lovin the skin. I am actually working on my own cube, trying to make a 6 sided cube (although i'm startin to think it will become quite aggravating to find a side quickly if you are in a rush...whaddya think) with some custom animations. recently inspired to make it into a matrix theme.
not sure if you have seen this thread but it makes it quite simple. YOu should try and implement it into your kaiser port
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424
and btw in regards to the first post the gurus over at pocket cm seemed to have pretty much mimic most of the features from the new touchflo in their pocketcm picture viewer. Give em some time and it will be better than HTC's version, im sure of it.
I know of that link. thats where i got the one i posted
I am folowing that thread to see if there is anything I want to use.
BTW. having more "sides" on the cube is ok idea, but making one that wont kill memory is a tough one my brother in law is a compter programmer, and im talking with him about a multisided cube, maybe there is coming something cool from that part in a while but no promises
about the kaiser port, we will see, first I have to make it work flawless before thinking about what to put in it.
sounds good, keep us all posted on any future developments.
as for the original topic...we all know HTC use Qualcomm chipsets in the past. Maybe with this new deal of AMD liscensing the new graphics technology introduced in the xbox360 (Unified Shader Architecture) to Qualcomm, we should be able to be able to have the memory from the animations use a dedicated graphics card (graphics card in ppc is not new -i think the flame has one)....just imagine OpenGL 2.0 running ported on a pocket pc. Possibilities are unimaginable right now. I think this is where HTC's R&D money should be going....but for all I know its already in the making...one can only hope
yeah that would be a giant step forward.
Im hoping its not so, but im afraid they will take tiny mouse steps forward, just so they can sell more phones.....they know we are addicted, and will buy.....lol

yeh for sure, its proven already that they only include one maybe two major upgrades per phone. Much more profitable marketing scheme. Just gotta know which phones to get, the people who purchase the Tytn II are going to be getting a pretty good phone that should b around for long. Where as a phone like the HTC Touch will get outdated pretty quick (Touch Dual already in production.) I'm sure when phones begin to be released with graphics cards built in they will surely only make them w/o keyboards, then another one with keyboard...then some "New and Improved Graphics Card" that doesn't waste as much battery (which they probably had from the begining.)
I guess you just gotta know to wait for the last one...

Guess the whole cube thing is useless. all of these skins mean nothing - when you use your device, and not just flicking this cube back and forth for hours
Sweet looks cool. I would love that for my phone. When will ver 2 be out? I have a problem with touthflo. I can use the cube once then if i try again it wont load. It just flips up then flips away. I have to soft reset the phone to use it again. Is there a fix for this? I have this prob with any touchflo rom. Even my mda with touchflo does this.

as far as i understand, TouchFlo contains not only Сube. As for me - i want only finger scrolling. And it is still imperfect
Well...for those of you techs who haven't yet found out. Ver. 2 of TouchFlo has been leaked per Engadget. The images look pretty sweet! I have attached a link to the article from Engadget and a download link from HTC Insider that supposedly has the new version. I'm no programmer so I'm posting it here so hopefully one of you geniuses can get it working for testing on the wing. Let me know if any of you come up with something. Thanks!

Edit:After further reading it is still in development. Well....at least we can get a glimpse for whats coming. I did find some people that got it working but only in VGA mode.
Seems like its still in development stage and not complete yet. No point installing it.
Regards,
Carty..
On Polaris there is alreaddy a Touchflo2 version. But as some other apps from different chips - this is also not working on herald - at the moment...
is it still a cube????? that has like how many 'sides' now? it looks like it's a slider instead.. but i like my cube, even if i don't use it that often hehe.
uggh.. i'm gonna have to change all my blackish charcoaly colors to have whhhooooole lot more white to match.... :'(
meh, I'll install it now and see how it goes...
Damn, its a 10 meg install...
Gotta do clear-storage...
won't run. oh well.
So far reviews show it to be EXTREMELY slow on the few devices that it does run on. It's probably alpha software for a hardware accelerated phone.

this might be a little off topic , but is there a way to get the NEW manila on an OMNIA 2 ?
Im a huuuge HTC fan but right now im runing the Samsung UI and i hate it lol ,, stupid wigets ,, could ig et the HTC UI?
here's a relatively off-topic question...
why did they call it manila? hopefully someone can satisfy my curiosity with the name!
I found a particular driver update on video driver for the touch pro and I was wondering what the actual driver version for the original ATT fuze or a way to find it. The driver was paired with the diamond hologram program which they say help boost the fps to 25. I'll edit this thread later w/ the link when i find it.

There are also variables to get that fps, like your page pool. but this driver is pretty well known.
my question would be if the driver is newer than the one provided by att. and also if it will pose any risk of screwing my fuze....

Well its a .cab so you CAN uninstall it. And yes it does give somewhat of a better FPS performance on a stock Fuze rom. You really won't notice any better performance unless you are using a 3d program like the hologram program or some 3d games.
My advise, is try it out. If you don't see anything uninstall. A hard reset will always take it back to "stock" anyway.
well i installed it, the hologram thing is awesome. it was a jump from .16 fps up to a 50fps (at its max) usually round 25fps. very cool.
so this driver really doesn't do much if you dont use alot of 3d programs......
any suggestions on cool 3d programs and games so that i can make use of that driver? XD
i found a game called cube on here yesterday its first person shooter kinda cool thats free
or like cod2 of course
After Touch (Elf) I bought an Iphone 2G, sold the Iphone in favor of the Nokia E71 (better GPS software for my neck of the woods!)
Dusted of my old Elf, downloaded a rom from this forum, to see where this TouchFlo was all about....
Hmmmm, not bad. Used my Nokia as a bluetooth GPS module for the Elf, and found some software...
Oh. Thats nice. Lets see whats new from HTC?
So I fell in love with the new Touch Pro2 through youtube, but it was not available yet. Oh Boy.
Can I wait a few more months?
No.
Hmmm, TouchHD in the mean time?
Ok.
Already when the HD was on its way to my house I read this forum, to see what was going on.
Lots of nice things, abut I resisted HardSPL'ing my HD for 5 days, while wading through the often chaotic posts and new releases while playing with colored icons.
But then, I couldn't resist. First tried a radio, you have to start simple. 1.25 is not ok. No GPS Bars. 1.10 Works. Don't really see a difference.
Yesterday I tried most popular roms. All of them have their greatness, but also sad bugs making the HD a strange thing at times. Not to mention the often very personal customisations made....
Enough. No more. All I want is some extra speed. My stock rom is actually fine. I don't need rotating screens. or 90% 95% or claimed 100% Topazes or Rhodiums, where Thumbcal doesn't work.
Who wants a Topium calendar where the finger is too thick after two beatuiful screens?
Standard Manila is fine, if ThumbCal is included.
I extracted my own rom, and had the nice cfc_gui.exe make my Manila work with compressed graphics, and cooked it.
"Borrowed" the Ramdisk from another rom, and made it work. System and Opera are Very Volatile now
Had SKtools set the HD to performance.
I have a bit of extra speed, I think...
Thanks Guys, you know who you are.
Back to work, and waiting for the Pro2. (and the announced 1000mhz Qualcom, but thats for next year. I hope.)
No more flashing, for now.
ahahah, i doubt it...
This sh#$t is really addicted.
.....
hell of a rant................
huh?
i just read that twice...without sounding rude or anythng, what was the purpose in writing that?
it was no purpose, i think. Its like report called "my life with HD".
But no more flashing....man...i doubt it
Friday celebrations have started early in this wonderfully useful thread!
Agree.
Only one thing I would like to ask: how did you manage to "borrow" the RAM disk?
Can you lend me one?
I can understand. I use to have a Polaris and really found advantage in flashing it : new interface, faster response times and especially : no regressions
Currently, I don't feel the same with Blackstone Roms. So, mine will waiting to be deflowered.

no sorry.
I still use it.
But you can have one from onkolog. He has plenty, first flash his rom. He doesn't give the dll if you ask him.
Then replace the dll found in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382944
with onkologs dll, and you have a ramdisk. 16mb doesn't get noticed by the HD.
Flashjunkies. A phone should work.
Hmm, Iphone 3G? In most cases one button press (or slide) less to reach what I want..
Or can I disable my all my bzzz buttons, I press them too much by accident, scaring the **** out of me...

This is a new openGL Touch Pro Driver Set D3DM/DirectX is no longer
supported. Programs like Diamond Hologram and D3DM mobile samples will not
work. I have done some testing and most games written on openGL like Quake
3, Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, and Assassins Creed, run well. Touch Flow 3D
works well. Need for Speed Undercover seems to not want to load. It gets to
the "select sound on/off," then freezes device. I guess NFSU relies on D3DM.
All benchmarks programs work. Three separate videos showing new
performance will be uploaded shortly.
Step 1: Install Driver.zip
Step 2: Install reg.cab
Step 3: soft reset
Your Touch Flow 3D and openGL games also programs should run fast. 2D/3D
supported in this new openGL driver. I need
testers because this is still a working progress, some fine tuning may be
needed. I removed directx/D3DM support because either the processor or
windows mobile affect both of the graphic support and doesn't seem to work
well together. This is mostly a gamers upgrade since most of the good games
like Quake 3, and others work on openGL. And I personally think openGL runs
better. The ATI chip in the Touch Pro supports openGL/openGL ES Hardware
Acceleration.
Gamer pack
Please test fully. and report back findings. No Hard Reset needed, Simply Uninstall.
Where is the driver file?
wow man this is a huge speed boost, opera renders crazy fast and the whole os is much snappier, ill test gaming and weigh in the results
I tried to download Driver.zip, but it's hosted by a non-premium RapidShare account or something, and so can't be downloaded more than 10 times. Can you re-upload it somewhere else?
made absolutely no difference here to everyday operations.
I don't play games, so can't comment on possible speed increases there.
cant open the driver zip and anyone add it again?
No difference on my Touch Pro.
How can I uninstall it ,there is nothing in Remove Programs.
Edit: I've tested it with THPS2,Undercover,CoD2 - no difference,except I can't run the Diamond hologram and etc...
Driver.zip doesn't seem to be avail anymore, can you host again please?
where is the driver file? and would this made spb3.5 animation faster?
what driver file? o.o i just see the reg cab
is the reg.cab the only file needed?

I would also like to know about this, and why only 10 people, why not release it to everyone? You have nothing to lose, and you have a lot of people to test it for you?
Hey, I'm also pretty keen to see what effects this driver has. Put my vote down in the "The more people testing, the better" camp.
