I am a new happy owner of the Kaiser and would like to find a music program similar to the interface of the iPhone. I love the feature where you can scroll through album art and select your music. Has anyone come across a Windows Mobile program similar to the iPhone music software or is something in development?
Thank you

Welcome to xda-developers Haron, well i was finding a program like this too.. but i couldnt find it.. so im trying to develop a program, but i just started, it will take me a time but when i finish it i will upload it here for free.
** IF ANYONE HAS ONE PROGRAM LIKE THIS NOW, LET ME KNOW.. **
Regards.

Try this its not perfect but its still in development and this is the first version with the album scroll. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377627
one of the problems with the lack of hardware video acceleration. The iphone actually has written drivers for their hardware to help them with video rendering unlike HTC that relies on software rending, you will be running head first into a bring wall attempting to make something as smooth and workable as the iphone app.

I bet S2P's album scroll screen would be abit better if the device didn't slow down when ever you touch the screen.

Thanks for the link Infuruno , I will give that program a try.
Hello,
Ive downloaded and tried some games on my Diamond. Like SimCity SOciitiets Mobile. I just have one problem. The game starts and all is good, but it is just a small square in the top left. The game doesnt cover the screen? Its really really hard to see anything.
Can i change resolution or something? Some games does cover the whole scren, and some dont.. Anyone know why?

I suggest, because some are developed to support vga and some not?

I think your right.
Some support various resolutions, and screen sizes but not VGA. Whereas some will be full screen but ive noticed a bit fuzzy in quality as the image is being zoomed in to fit (if that makes sense?)
Is there anyway to force it to be fullscreen even tough its not 640x480?
Its seems that almost every java mobile game is for poor resolution. Ive tried the NVD software that changes the resolution. But its very hard to load the game after you have changed the resolution.. Anyone has any idea how to change the resolution on start of the game, and then go back to normal?
Any news on this matter?
Almost all java programs are not usable.

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has tried emulating ps1 or gba games. As a tmobile wing owner I can definately say that gba and ps1 is not playable on my device. So in short im just wieghing my options for new devices. If anyone has any comments on this matter, id greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
I've manage to launch final fantasy IX (psx) on my diamond with FPSECE . With the "on screen mapping" option you can assign a button at an area of the screen. I have the original CDs of this game, but I never managed to make a correct ISO file for running in emulation . I've found a copy of this game in internet (mondemul.net) and it works! Another problem is the video. FPSECE can't play the video of FFIX. The first can be skipped by start button, but for the beginning of the game I've made a save with epsxe in my PC, just after the video sequence, and i put it in my memory card files. I will try gran tourismo today and for the gba, I don't try my old emulator (work on my htc p3600) but I will try to

Alright great, do you have any frame rate numbers? Im just curious because i believe the diamond has a dedicated graphics chip or something like that.
That depend of the screen resolution. In LFB GAPI OR GDI mode you can turn the screen in portrait or landscape. The screen is around 27FPS. In landscape in VGA mode you got a black screen but in portrait it's ok and the picture is so beautiful! But about 15FPS..it's a little bit slow but for FF IX it's not a problem. I may be a problem for car game ...where speed is important.

Woww Nice!!
Tips: there is not enought buttons on the diamond.. the better solution for me is the on screen mapping, and dont forget to assigne the button "action" (on center of the diamond) to the menu. With this solution you can play in a large screen and assign all the button of the gamepad.Then you can have the menu in full screen for the missing buttons (start and select, screenshot, fps, frameskip, sound control, exit,...) during the game.
i didn't managed to make fpsece work in my diamond!
when i load an iso, it only loads the playstation bios (with the menu of the memory card and cd player)
could you post your config please?
thank you
Guys, good news also with GBA Emulation.
I'm currently running The Sims, and it works FINE.
I also have tried GTA but it reset itself (the game, not the pda) once the first mission is started; maybe i need another GBA ROM.
However i've noticed that with GBA emulator, the diamond HAS ALL HW BUTTON Needed, BUT the "end & start" call buttons are right mapped but doesn't work.
For front buttons (L & R) i use the volume buttons, joypad for directions, the central button as A and the start button as <-- (arrow button).
So the game are played in FULLSCREEN LANDSCAPE mode.
Enjoy your fun!
configuration
attached files: my configuration (emulator v0.96beta,bios and ini and epsxe memcard inclueded )
the epsxe memcard file (epsxe000.mcr) can be choosed by the emulator in the option menu.

is this Warez if you have included the Bios?
(sorry to be a prude )
The biggest problem I'm having with FPSECE is trying to transfer the ISO files I've made from my original CDs. ActiveSync and USB-MS fail to transfer them over, presumably since they're so large.
I've had no luck at all compressing games to less than 400MB, either, using the (flakey!) ISO compression tool that comes with the emulator.

i'm not sure but for me bios is a free part of the emulation.it's a system file. you can find it in all the good emulation site..download an iso if you don't have the original cd, it's warez

I have the same problem that's why i always download a copy of my game in an emulation site..i prefer improved version, it's more easy.I always use usb mode it's more faster than active sync.

Would you be able to clarify what you mean here? Are you saying that it doesnt work in landscape mode?
Is this with sound on or off or any frameskip options?
Also, could you try this with TouchFlo turned off as I heard this improves performance massively???
Many many thanks!
in this emulator the sound is not very good. it's slow. but i don't see a big diffence with/without sound activated.
in vga mode (portrait,320*224) with sound: 17-21fps , without 19-23fps
{ps: between this test and my first (post"4) i've changed my rom ,bebe 0.54 to bepe 0.95, so fast!!}
in vga mode landscape give a blake screen.it doesnt work.
in all other mode landscape work.
in lfb mode,portrait, the pad can be black. if you touch the top pad (between sound and option), it reappear.
for other test, tf3d and phone skin (10% ram...) desactivated:
vga mode (portrait,320*224) with sound 17-21 fps without sound:19-24fps...
any change
(all the tests made with FF9)
thanks for the answers dejant!
Has anyone else got landscape to work on this??
Also, dejant did you use any frameskip? Also what version of fpsece are you using?
Is lanscape any faster than 27 fps with your new rom?
If you could answer those questions i would be really greatful!!

Which software?
Really appreciate your feedback - was just wondering what the fps was in landscape in the non - vga mode?
sorry i don't have internet at home for this week.
results of the test: landscape mode in lfb with sound 19fps without sound 17fps
gapi with sound 21fps without sound19fps
gdi with or without, 7-13 ps ....but i don't remember that gdi mode was so slowly..maybe a bug, i change configuration every 30s ,maybe the emulator start to bug ^^ and i don't have my cable for reinstall
all test made without frame skipping, with frame skip the game is faster
vga portrait with 5frame skip, 30fps very little lag
with 3frame skip 27 fps no lag.
gapi mode portrait 5frame skip, 32fps and 3 frame skip 29fps. no difference...
Would you be able to tell me the fps with these setttings please??
Sound: 0N
Graphics : GAPI
Orientation: Landscape
Frameskip: 3
Touchflo3d: OFF
Basically im trying to see if I could play playstation games on it with sound at a playable speed in landscape?
Really appreicate your answers!
In this topic we will discuss about console/platform emulators compatible with Touch Pro.
So far I got these working on the TP:
- PicoDrive
- FinalBurn
- Genesis Plus by n0p (you can achieve better framerate with PicoDrive - but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by n0p (better for SNES, but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by masterall
The emulator were tested with sound.
Performance tests (more to come?)
- Picodrive (Sonic 3): HTC Tornado (SPV C600) vs HTC TOuch PRo.
More information about poor touch pro graphics performance can be found here.
--- OLD POST ---
I've also tried PocketSNES without succes (black screen when trying to load a ROM), PocketNester Plus (program exits after loading a ROM)
Haven't checked yet:
- FPSCe (playstation emulator)
- MorphGear (multi-console: NES, Sega, GBA)
- PocketScumm
You may check this guide.
Please post here your experience with emulators on TP. Also, you may post link to workable emulators and I will update the first post.
I Tried finalburn, can load ROMs with it, plays perfect, but on the same time are unplayble, due that the keyboard maps the same (OE) key on all.
Still haven't found a fix for this. Do you know of one?
For the fix try this. If the arrow keys are inversed, just map:
- Up: left key
- Down: right key
- Left: down key
- Right: up key
Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device, otherwise you will get full of annoying vertical delays. Anyway, at this point emulation is better (fluid) on my good old Tornado overclocked at 252Mhz than on touch pro (tested Sonic 3 with PicoDrive) .
I've been using the Gameboy Color emulator PocketGnuboy v1.21 with the KforTouchPro 1.0.0.3 keyboard fix. It runs well when set to 160x144 with sound enabled. I've noticed that Frame Skip has to be set at Auto or else the phone crashes after a bit.
Scummvm works and looks fantastic on TP only issue i had was that i couldn't map keys to the qwerty keyboard, but most games where still very playable, even COMI worked for a while!
Hope that helps
using morphgear gbc module with the fix by dilta.. works very smoothly
For an SNES emulator, use n0p's:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out. Also, there's no sound. Other than that, games tend to run smoothly (although I've come across a few that just don't work). Still need the KforTouch fix though.
Also, in your main thread you said Morphgear supports GBA, but from what I've seen it only supports GBC. I was able to get PocketGBA to work:
http://sunbug.net/attachements/download/9
However, I haven't found any way to put the emulator in the correct display mode for using the hardware keyboard, so I was stuck using the sucky directional pad on the Touch Pro with the touch screen keys. But, it works like a charm.
Alot of complains about the TP i cant seem to fit any of the complains here on my device v 1.90.409.6
1:You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out! >-->> i play it perfectly on my TP with sound and in ladscape mode with the keyboard to play with no need to use the skin i use pocketsnes 1.52!
2: Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device! >-->> i use picodrive and cant see any redraw issue on my phone also need to limit fps to 50-60 to get the games run perfect or they run too fast!
the only redraw issue i get is in opera browser! IE work greate without the redraw...so im not sure why my device dont get the other problem on emulators..and for the key settings use (shift left) (ctrl left) (tab left) and (q or a) for the r1 and l1 buttons on the snes use the volume keys its alot playable then for emulators i recommend is PocketSnes 1.52 (super nintendo) PicoDrive 0.52 (sega genesis) PocketGba Rel 060723 (gameboy advance) fpsece (playstation slow yeat but some games you get 30fps+) PocketNesterPlus 0.9 (nintendo) FinalBurn 0.011 (arcade) is some of the emus i recommend for you and all this emulators i can run at landscape for a note hope this help some!

You must be using those emulators without sound? That's the only way you're going to get 100% speed. I've used every one of those emulators you've mentioned, and I haven't been able to get full speed on any one using landscape mode with the hardware keyboard.
@Quake3000, I can record a video if you don't believe me. Try a fast action game such as Sonic 3 & Knukles.
... And the redraw issue si present not only in opera. Just see my videos from here (i've done a test with IE too). Maybe you just don't feel it.. try with other sites . Anyway, we are kinda offtopic here. We can contine the discussion in the appropiate topic specified above.
@kevingilbert thanks for the links, I will try them ASAP and update my first post. I haven't tried yet MorphGear, but on this page GBA is also mentioned..
@0llyTouchPro have you tried KforTouchPro?
@at10ti0n thanks !. any other experience?

I'm amazed. And I'm almost certain it can't be true. I'm running the stock Sprint firmware. With sound I can only run 100% speed with jittery movement due to all the frame skipping. I'll have to await your video.
DSF I'd like to thank you for making this thread, I'm a gamer, and I really wanna know how the Touch Pro compares to the tilt in gaming. The tilt cant play any emulators without lagging or needing to disable sound.
One main concern I have is, does the TP have the same touchscreen bug that the tilt had? the one that when you held down the touchscreen it would lag horribly? best way to tell is map the onscreen buttons in finalburn and see if it starts lagging.
speaking of finalburn, what roms have you tried and how was the peformance?

Hey Mikeeey,
Good to see you on this forum. I'd only ever seen you post on Modaco.
Unfortunately, there's always a little lag on finalburn - even when using the software keyboard. Final Fight plays pretty good. CPS2 games (like D&D) I tried are a little more annoying. The big neo geo games also have some slowdown.
Actually, Mikeeey - your request made me find out something VERY interested. I just played D&D Tower of Doom and tried the screetap for the first time ever.
Using screentap instead of the action buttons - lag goes away altogether! I couldn't believe it and had to go through several fight scenes to prove it. Everytime I press a button on the keyboard in a fast action scene, the game stalls for a fraction of a second. If I do the same with a screen tap - there's no stall - it's just as fast as my 6700.
I think it's an issue of the program that we have to run in the background. I wish there was a fix for this, but HTC screwed up the keyboard setting such that without the background program - we can't map keys.
I've gotta say this is exciting, I played a few other games - and if we solved this, emulation on the touch pro would be near perfect.
Not sure why he says PokketNester doesn't work. Works perfectly for me.

hey PolloLoco nice to see you here too! well if you look at my post count youl see I've actually been here for quite some time lol. How long have you been here?
I had no idea you got a Touch Pro, thats awesome! I thought you had verizon? isnt the verizon version not out yet? if it is what do they call it? I'm recommending it to my friend who has verizon.
how much lag is a little lag? On my tilt it was so bad, if i tried playing metal slug with sound it would slow down and the sound would be skippy cuz it was lagging.
wow... so.. they fixed the screen bug..but now there are button bugs?? Idk which is worse.. Well hopefully there will be a fix for the button mapping issue and the buttons slowing down the game. Have you flashed to a custom rom?
I noticed the TP has less buttons for games in portrait mode. It doesnt have the left and right softkey.. am I correct?
have you played in finalburn games that were in portrait mode, like those verical air shooter games? DonPachi for example?
Could someone try DoomGLES on the TouchPro?
I would have when I went to play with the Fuze at the AT&T store but the guy had to grab one from the back and he watched me as I played with it, waiting for me to give it back so he could put it back in the box.
I've 100% discovered that any slowdown with games on the touch pro - is 100% due to lag from the keyboard. It may not even be the background program "Kfortouchpro". Some users have reported that they have keyboard lag when typing - UNTIL they flash to a new rom (GSM version). I hope there's a similar fix for the CDMA version. Then it may be reasonable to use this phone for gameplay with the keyboard.
What I did to test this was by digging up (it took hours) my old smartphone bluetooth joystick. I installed the program (told it it was an HTC Magician) and then mapped the joystick buttons to the very few hardware keys that register. By the way - on the keyboard, up down left and right map independently without k for touch pro - and there's apparently no lag.
Once I'd mapped to the hardware keys, I started playing Finalburn. It played awesome. Almost 100% speed. On some high speed action shootemups (shocktroopers 2) - I saw a little slowdown. That said, I'm picky about emulation, and I have no concerns about recommending Finalburn on the touchpro. It's beautiful, great speed, and it looks and sounds great on the VGA screen and speakers.
I then tried Picodrive - and it worked just as well! The difficult and jittery gameplay I had before, were purely from the keyboard lag. I'm happy - and I'm still hopeful I can connect my phone to the tv and play games from my couch on the bluetooth joystick. However, I'm expecting serious slowdown due to tv out.
Mikeeey, to answer 2 of your questions. I'd heard about Verizon's initial plans to issue a crippled touch pro - slower processor and half the ram - for the same price. So I sent a complaint e-mail, wondering why it wouldn't make sense to switch to Sprint. I never got a reply. So I decided to switch to Sprint. It makes sense for me - the same unlimited data plan is at least $15 cheaper than Verizon's and I haven't had any coverage issues since I got this phone 3 weeks ago.
The Verizon phone, since many user complaints - may not be as crippled as originally planned. The latest rumors I've heard were that the Verizon XV6850 will have almost the same processor and 192 megs of RAM as opposed to the 256 of the Sprint Touch Pro. Early leaks suggested that the Verizon prototype is a touch slower. We'll see.
Mikeeey - the vertical shooters you're suggesting would stink on this phone that way. The optical joystick and surrounding buttons stink. Very often you press one direction (they're connected) and the next direction registers. So it's not very accurate and I try not to use it. For a vertical shooter I'd either use the direction buttons on the pull out keyboard (they work as I mentioned) and the 3 front face buttons that register.
well im glad you discovered the problem, I'm glad to know it's fast!
ah yes, the speakers, how are they? louder than the 6700 and kaiser? does it have good sound quality?
So I assume you use the arrow keys on the keyboard then, isnt that difficult considering you cant easily go from 1 key to the next or press 2 at the same time. For example trying to press right and up at the same time? on my Tilt if I try to do that I end up pressing "enter" as well.
damn.. vertical shooters are my favorite.. does the D-pad actually "click" or is it touch buttons? I didnt have enough time to figure it out when I played with it. and is there a single softkey button on the device anywhere?
I was disappointed, but not surprised to see that functions for dropping internal rendering and only render to the external screen were in-built into the media-player on the lg. I mean, having an overlay where you could switch context would have been just too easy, after all.
But is there a way to turn off the internal rendering and only render to hdmi? Since android has a composite manager on it's own, it seems strange it shouldn't be just a simply command for it, that would leave the phone context inactive, and the rendering context on hdmi. In the same way the media player works.
I.e., if playing netflix, you would just pick the source for the viewport, and leave the program just serving (while the view on the phone is inactive). Same with games.
Think it's possible to do that in an overlay? Or is it necessary to do it individually for each program. Or, more likely, that it's something that has to be implemented in Android at some point..?
I wonder how do you bring that content back to o4x to control the phone

I believe you can do that thru the secret menu. Dial 3845#*880# and go to HDMI settings and choose whether you want full phone mirroring or use as an extension of your screen so you can still use your phone to do whatever.

Oh, nice. Thank you. Doesn't seem to be any options to not run a mirror (see "full mirror" and "cinema" in the modes). And the changes don't do anything and don't stick.. But I'll look around some more. ..do you need to root the phone to change the options..?
update?

i know this is an old post i am responding to, but having searched all over i cannot find any update on the possibility of gaining a full 'mirror' display on my 4x hd.
did you have any luck getting the options on the 'hidden menu' to stick? it was the first thing i tried, but as stated no options stick once selected (i assumed it was going to be simple when i saw the option for 'full mirror' on the menu).
i have tried changing the options on 'hidden menu' pre and post root, to no avail. im gutted to find that this phone dosnt support 'full mirror' on the hdmi out, usb otg :crying:
if anyone knows how to do this on my rooted 4x hd PLEASE HELP!
cheers in advance!

I was disappointed, but not surprised to see that functions for dropping internal rendering and only render to the external screen were in-built into the media-player on the lg. I mean, having an overlay where you could switch context would have been just too easy, after all.
But is there a way to turn off the internal rendering and only render to hdmi? Since android has a composite manager on it's own, it seems strange it shouldn't be just a simply command for it, that would leave the phone context inactive, and the rendering context on hdmi. In the same way the media player works.
I.e., if playing netflix, you would just pick the source for the viewport, and leave the program just serving (while the view on the phone is inactive). Same with games.
Think it's possible to do that in an overlay? Or is it necessary to do it individually for each program. Or, more likely, that it's something that has to be implemented in Android at some point..?
