New OPENGL Driver-Gamers Pack( Hardware Acceleration) - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

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?

this driver pack was release to ten people. Now im Waiting on results. Sorry.

Any updates on the status of the testing?

yeah i m interested too...
Whare are the news?
Only 10 testers, it's not much. Perhaps you can share with cookers too, so they cab tru to includ it on their rom to see ^^

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.

HTC TouchFLO 2 "Manila"

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.

here's a relatively off-topic question...
why did they call it manila? hopefully someone can satisfy my curiosity with the name!

day by day review of diamond.

Coolsmartphone are doing a day by day review with a guy using it for a week. At least we'll find out about things like battery life!
days 1 and 2 are up, and u can ask quesions in the forum post for each day.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/
Great review
Thx! Really Really nice review! Take a look ppl!
I for one have confirmed to buying this phone after watching this video. The video
showed that the keys are very responsive when dialing numbers, which is really important I think.
yeah, and you can ask him questions to answer in the next days review. If you can't be bothered to register to add a question, just ask here and i'll post it there.
I don't think he has been asked, what Version Tomtom Navigator he tried on it, and if this was delivered with the device or did he install it on his own?
lots of people have already asked that in day3..
Check here first:

Day 4
Day 4 has just been uploaded...
@ someone1234,
Could you ask the following questions on my behalf, many thanks...
1. During your day 4 video you COPIED a picture into a subdirectory called new folder and though it showed up in the TouchFlo 3D app. However you should have MOVED the picture rather than COPYING it as the app will have picked up the original, or you should have seen the image twice. Could you re-do the test as a MOVE rather than COPY.
2. Could you try some games on the screen to see how they behave under VGA, try worms world party from jamdat if you can download the demo, and see if its easy to aim, you should have 6/7 steps between horizontal and vertical aim.
3. Using TomTom could you compare the calculating route time between two devices calculating the same route. Also brows the map on the diamond, and zoom fully out from street level to the whole of the map (UK or Europe) to let us see how quickly it re-renders the map.
Did anyone else notice the HORRIBLE video playback? I did. It looks just as bad as the Kaiser. WTF!?

You need a media player that can utilise the hardware acceleration of the Qualcomm chipset, such as Core Player 1.2
posted!
btw did everyone notice in day 4, it seems all 5 UMTS bands are supported
Did they manage to put the correct antenna's in or maybe its just because its a test handset.

Yeah, but as imranbashir_uk said, Windows Media Player is not the best software to use. Does anyone know if the phone in these reviews has the same software as the version that will be sold? If it does, that video problem might put the most lazy consumers off getting it.
nope
havent u seen the splash screens, or video 1, it says test rom, not for sale on it
some athenas were shipped with test roms, but that was only by compusa who were closing down i think.
but shipping what is their biggest release so far of 08, with great new enhancements without being complete would be utterly stupid [wait isnt that what happened with kaiser video drivers? ]
Rory
No that was test firmware only. It says so when he powers up the device. Also I don’t think the full firmware is going to be any better unless they can somehow hack windows media player to utilise the hardware acceleration of the chipset.
To visualise what I’m talking about think about windows just after a fresh install, the resolution is VGA, and the colour depth is only 16-Bit, its only after you install the drivers for your graphics card (Radeon) that you get to actually utilise the hardware.
In terms of the Diamond, Core Player 1.2 recognises the enabled graphics acceleration within the Qualcomm chipset and the software is able to fully utilise it.
yep and its worth paying whatever it costs because it utilised my athenas imageon too.. [i dont think that has drivers either]

Yeah, obviously those would be changed (and yes, I did see them, so please stop treating me like a retard - why would I have asked that question if I had not seen them?), but I'm not familiar with how much these ROMs change between test and final versions. For some companies that change is very small, whereas for others (Planetside) there can be a lot of change.
Also, I've finished watching day 4 now, and I think the Touch Diamond did fairly well in the battery test. Obviously it lost, but it only used roughly 33% more battery power than the other phone and he was using them pretty heavily.
Won’t change that much unfortunately, most of HTC’s software is modular hence the reason it can be easily ported. The main difference I guess would be that the latest AKU of WM 6.1 will be incorporated.
If you think about it, its not in HTC’s interest to send out poor quality software to reviewers as most peoples judgments will be based on these reviews until they get to play with a mates version who was a early adopter.
Meh. Sendo sent out a phone to reviewers and subsequently went bust.
well another example is debug builds of all the exe's which spam logs with information about which functions are running, and contain extra structures to hold debug info. So you never really can be sure.
I'm sure that HTC will continue to tweak the rom with updates for a few months after release at the least.
Generally agree that they will continue to tweak the ROM, but would they really send debug builds to reviewers? Hmmm not too sure about that one...

Holy S*it the D3D drivers make the cube fast

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.

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).

video driver for the fuze

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.
Here it is:

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

Quake 2 for android

http://quake2-android.sourceforge.net/
looks promising and dev is offering beta testing for those who donate over $3. I dont have a paypal account, anyone test this yet?
thanks
WOW!
from what i saw that looked great!
i love first person shooters and will sooooo drain a battery if they get games like this on our android os!
Just donated five dollars, I'll post up a quick run down once I get my grubby paws on an apk
I won't risk donating for this one
The guy is the infamous Valdimir Silva - with the worst and sloppiest ports of games like Doom and Quake. I seriously doubt this one will be an exception, but we'll see. Please give us feedback if you get the app. I hope he actually sends you an apk and doesn't take donations for some vaporware or a doom WAD for Quake 2, which I remember exists. I bet his next "port" will be CS 1.6 - there's a doom WAD for De dust too

Force closing after one one run, however, during that one run, it's pretty smooth.

Unreal Tournament being ported to Linux is almost impossible because it uses the Unreal Game Engine, which is created by Epic Games and is NOT open source... I mean, you could get the code off some shady torrent site, but there's no possible legal way of porting Unreal Engine to anything other than Windows, Mac OS X, PSP, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, etc...
The Quake engine's source code was released, so it is possible to run Quake now on a PSP, iPhone, ANDROID, etc.
P.S.
If there was an HTC Android phone with a full keyboard, a VERY FAST CPU, a high-res display, 512 MB RAM and some really good GPU, we'd be running Quake 3 and going to WLAN parties by now
Back to evaluating the game.

what ROM are you on? and what phone? i'm on the HTC dream xROM 1.5r4 with about 40 apps (apps2sd of course) and my sdcard specs are in my sig. things runs smooth as hell with NO sound. WITH sound it runs a bit choppy.
G1 with the latest CM rom. I'll try it with no sound and see if that helps.
Thanks.
How do you enable sound
How do you huys enable sound. I saw there was a setting toggle while you are in game and use the menu of the application - toggle sound and toggle onscreen controls and I toggle the sound but nothing happens. Do you have to restart the game to get sound to work? A pretty damn good port btw - I regret saying bad things about the dev...
I am trying to run this, keeps F/C on start though. It ran after I first installed it but seems to hate me now.

UT is probably not the best example for a difficult linux port. "Porting" Unreal Tournament to Linux consists of installing it with the Linux installer provided by Epic themselves.

Seems only to be F/Cing for CM Donut users. I've been using XRom for a while, works perfectly (excellent port, no lag with sound disabled)
