[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ericjames@xda:
Let me start by praising this forum. You're all members of an incredible community. I just purchased my first mobile device (besides Sega's Game Gear and the original Nintendo Game boy, if you'd be liberal enough to put these in the same category), the hTC Raphael (AT&T's Fuze more precisely), and you guy’s have got me really excited about this technology.

Excuse me for continuing off topic, some background information may help you to answer my questions.

I’m really into technology, I’m always learning more about web standards, xml, hardware engineering, open source development, and computer science in general. I have a small computer lab in my house comprised of desktop systems dating from 1994 -2005. Due to financial limitations I don’t usually buy new equipment. As a hobby I sell and repair computers, and I’m really into web development (SVG has been my main interest for a while). I’m a very novice programmer, taking my first baby steps into Java though I’ve briefly used C++ and I’m fairly fluent in Javascript.

Let’s get back to the Fuze already! Heh.

So I’d obviously like to customize the Fuze to my liking, and I’ve been doing my homework. I bought the device because of its support for SVG, VPN (for my home network),WIFI (the university I’m attending has a large WIFI network), and Opera Browser. I just tried out tyguy’s forum post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3042587#post3042587 , yesterday. After some customization (rhedgehog's Raphael Tweaks, adding support for zooming with the scroll wheel in opera, screen rotation via accelerometer, My_Flash3_1) I realize that I’m pretty disappointed with the device. It seems to be running slower than ever (I used the default rom w/ the bloat ware for a week), my email had broken (probably because of Sprite Backup restoring ‘personal information’ w/out ‘system files’, luckily nightbird’s post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=412438 , linked me to the software that fixes this ‘can’t view my inbox’ issue), the TF3D Music Library changed for the worse, but I’m not here to complain. Tyguy’s post was adequately informative, and a great start for beginners like myself.

At this point you’re probably saying “What is your question, and what does this have to do with BlenderPocket?!”

So.. I understand that the graphic rendering support of the Fuze is less than what some would like (probably due to the Qualcomm Chipset). Pauloke’s Diamond VR Hologram v2.02 runs on my Fuze, but at a frame rate of 0.17FPS. I’ve read up on Hard-SPL by Raphael Elite Team, Raphael Elite Project’s RC2 ROM, Aruppenthal’s RRE ROM, and Monx’ ROMeOS2. I’m cautious to try flashing, but I have an insurance policy, so I’ve decided to try Raphael Elite Project’s RC2 ROM.

On to the questions!

Has anybody tried BlenderPocket on a Fuze? http://russose.free.fr/BlenderPocket/ This would be an ideal application for my device.

Do those of you ‘in the know’ think that the rendering support of the Raphael could handle this app? The system requirements for BlenderPocket are quite low.

Which ROM’s effectively enhance rendering support for OpenGL, MD3DM, SVG Graphics? / Is there a ROM you would recommend for my Raphael? (after reading my autobiography, lol ;)) I understand that these are complicated issues involving Qualcomm proprietary drivers, I'm just trying to catch the most up to date information on Raphael graphics development.

I understand that there are some issues with the Fuze keyboard. Blender, among other apps, require input configuration from hard keys.

Where might I find information about mapping keyboard keys to apps (specifically pertaining to the Raphael)?

Where might I find a table of the hard key codes (ie: PAD_00x01)? http://russose.free.fr/BlenderPocket/?q=node/22

Does the ‘HTC Fuze Keyboard Fix.cab’ fix the keyboard issues I’m speaking of (the issue some have noted about not being able to configure keyboard keys as input to emulators and the like), or just adjust for the AT&T keyboard layout?

While on the topic of emulators.

Has anybody successfully run FPSEce on their Raphael? Sonhy claims that it works great on his system, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2642151#post2642151 . Others complain of keyboard and rendering issues. It would be incredible to use this device for work and play, a PS1 emulator would be ideal for play time. :-D

Thanks in advance for any advice or answers to my questions. All advice is appreciated. :D

Also in advance I apologize for any duplicate questions, I’ve spent a week combing the forum and these are some questions that I’m left with.

I am more than willing to donate my time to testing and development as well as money (what little I have of the stuff) when I'm better educated on who's hands it belongs in.
