it is a driver, so, --and quoting the very first post on this thread-- please,

INSTALL TO DEVICE, NOT STORAGE CARD!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
Hei

Hei this driver modify the Sense? it run's smoother or something like that or it's just for games?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gabriel.twl:
Ok, Thanks so much! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jonbaker76:
Would this fix the stuttering in coreplayer when playing vids by any chance?

I've been down all the routes of settings and conversion etc etc, it seems that coreplayer is just not very stable on the HD2 as the files play fine in windows media. Talking about divx/xvid movie avi files here.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] jenotc:
Works Great on TouchHD with Leo 2.10 Manila 2.5.

It has Speeded up sense animation - especially it is visible on clock and weather animation.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] SmittyWolf:
Cool tweak

This is the functionality I've been waiting for. Makes the home screen so much more user friendly. Have a drink on me!:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] azahoth:
On my HD2 (stock O2 ROM) I changed Core Player (1.0.4 build 716) to tools> prefs>vdieo> Raw Frame buffer and changed to High quality and it plays fine for me even before I installed this new driver. Watched a whole xvid with no issues at all, in fact I was blown away by the quality.

Hope this helps..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] michd2:
The HD2 isn't known because of its superb battery, but when installing this driver my HD2's battery was empty over night while I didn't use it. I went to sleep and my battery was 86% full, when I woke up about 7 hours later I saw a warning on my screen because my battery was low (10%!!!). So maybe the OpenGL-driver that HTC provides ain't the fastest one, but it ain't using that much energy! Normally charging takes about 2/2,5 hours but after a whole morning (about 4 hours) of charging the battery it still was only 97%!!

The driverpatch is working really well. It smoothens out every thing you'd like to see on that beautiful screen but when it's using this much energy, I don't want it!

Is there any way this could be fixed? Isn't there a way to create a switch to swich the whole driver off?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
If other people can confirm that, I will look at it. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of the driver myself, though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gianton:
i installed this driver in several roms and haven't noticed higher battery drainage compared to the roms i didn't install it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] michd2:
I think the biggest difference between the driver-patch and the original driver is that the original driver uses the same amount of energy but only when you're using the phone, while the patch also consumes battery when in standby. Because whilst using I didn't notice any difference, only after a long time of std-by it was really noticable
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Except that that isn't possible :P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ParkBom:
ah whopping 26,800 DLs ftw!! :D

you are the best Sir Chainfire :)

i mixed it with some NeoS drivers and it feels good :)

Thanks Many!

EDIT: just a question: if i cook your drivers in my rom, is "fast mode" enabled by default even if i remove the "mode switcher"?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Yes, over 25k downloads, imagine if every user donated $1 ... Instead, total donations have been like $20 :)

Fast mode is indeed default, yes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ParkBom:
i know its a bit S*cks.. if i have a balance on my account will send some soon, as it is very usable for me..

thanks again! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dneto:
Hi Chainfire,

I'm guessing that too. =/

I need make some tests. Now Using ROMeOS4.

And thank You for this work mate. It's amazing.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
hey guys, sorry i am thick. I have been trying to play a hd x264. video file. But it is jittery will this resolve that issue? I understand that the hd2 should be able to play those files?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wonderous:
will this work for TP?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
No.

(this message is too short)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Zloba:
Hello Chainfire,

could you fix small feature in your d3dm driver, when I use IDirect3DMobileDevice::SetStreamSource twice or more after first DrawPrimitive call, vertices buffers don't change. I tested this situation with original d3dm driver and at the emulator and buffers were changed.

For example: I want to change FVF, texture and vb:

m_pd3dmDevice->SetTexture( 0, m_pTexture1 );

m_pd3dmDevice->SetStreamSource( 0, m_pVB1, sizeof( CUSTOMVERTEX_1 ) );

m_pd3dmDevice->DrawPrimitive( D3DMPT_TRIANGLELIST, 0, X1 );

m_pd3dmDevice->SetTexture( 0, m_pTexture2 );

m_pd3dmDevice->SetStreamSource( 0, m_pVB2, sizeof( CUSTOMVERTEX_2 ) );

m_pd3dmDevice->DrawPrimitive( D3DMPT_TRIANGLELIST, 0, X2 );

Second SetStreamSource doesn't change FVF.

But if I comment "m_pd3dmDevice->DrawPrimitive( D3DMPT_TRIANGLELIST, 0, X1 );" it works OK and render right second primitive.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kosomkeda:
does it supports for fpsece ? i mean is there improvments for this application ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] flo90:
Its necessary with Artemis 7.0?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kosomkeda:
does any body tried what i mentioned ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] curiousGeorge:
All this talk of the TG-01 driver... what happened to the acer neotouch s200? The s200 wastes the HD2 in some (all?) benchmark(s). The s200 was even reviewed by laymen to be much faster than the HD2.

Why not use the s200 drivers? It's a 6.5 Winmo snapdragon isn't it? :D

[edit]

I lie. Everyone here knows about the s200 already. Ouch.

Okay, then. Is this patch still applicable to the T mobile HD2 (TMOUS I mean)? And what about the 1.1.2 test version--where can I get my hands on it? ;)

[edit2] It's here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5070190&postcount=119 ... BUT it doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary. Just a test case to address some random hypothetical issue. Hm. Though a user reported it as being faster than the one on the first page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Manhack:
Wow. With this fix, I'm finally able to watch MPEG2 videos on my HD2 without any substantial slowdown. Thanks a lot, Chainfire!

I ran a few games in ddraw mode and noticed no difference at all. I think it is a kind of code-related limitation. Hopefully the FPSEce developers will continue development now that there are so many fast devices around. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Qais55:
Does this work with the TMOUS HD2 without any problems?? Please let us know
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Caramel:
Quelle question :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] curiousGeorge:
Now if only there was a way to "unlock" the proper video decoding (they say the snapdragon chipset can decode up to 720p, in theory). The current video player HTC has on there (and windows media player) hook into some decoder filters which are utter crap. The included transformers movie--in baseline AVC with 1 reference frame-- had countable skipped frames. There's no excuse for that kind of crap.

With coreplayer PROPERLY configured (as nobody seems to know how to do on this forum--raw framebuffer? blitting? are you serious, people?) it beats the living crap out of the hardware decoder in high profile videos, provided the bitrate is reasonably low (I'm thinking 400kbps).

And we all know that when a software decoder can beat a hardware one, we are royally screwed. You'd think for $450 a pop, HTC would start to give a damn about their drivers. Nice title page logo, btw.

Oh but... the racing game demo still lags like the dickens on my device. Bummer. You'd think a game T mobile (US) included by default would actually work properly. Think again...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FireDemonSiC:
Chainfire

How would I force antialiasing with your driver? I've been wanting to see what the graphics on my HD2 will look like with it enabled.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dharvey4651:
Yes it does. I'm using it right now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
It works also with the demos from my Tiny Graphics Engine. Without patch I get ~37 FPS in the Mesh Demo and over ~55 FPS with the patch applied. However, sometimes it crashes and I have to softreset:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] curiousGeorge:
I hope against hope that someone will just bring the s200's video drivers/filters/codecs over. To enable ultra-smooth HD playback is my dream.

We're currently stuck with the HTC trash video drivers. I wish someone with an s200 could try to mod the codecs/drivers to work on the HD2.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] starstreak:
I have the T-Mobile HD2. Don't really play games and the only movie I watched was the Transformers on it. Which to me, seemed good considering I came from a small Touch Pro.

I do keep the HTC Sense on. Would it still be worth while in installing this driver just for that? And does this app uninstall well in case it doesn't work?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vanikcz:
MD3D Side effect

Hi Chanifire!

It is damn good work! Im developing game using VS2005 and MD3D. Wihout the patch 1.1 or 1.12 it is unusable - HTC HD2 itself is cabable to generate one frame by 5-10 seconds. With your driver patch it is running smoothly - I dont know the FPS but it is quite enough for my game. But there is one problem, a side effect of patch.

Without the driver patch, the performace is horrible, but I can setup lights in scene, there is shadows and so on... with the patch the light and shadow capability is gone...? Or im doing something wrong?

Im using original ROM 1.48.479.1 WWE

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397804.aspx

compiled one in attachment.

Do you anybody know what Im missing???

Thank you, especially the Chainfire!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Darkcloud25:
Hey Chainfire

Hey Chainfire

i have tried this cab but for reason i get no change in farreri GT evolution HD that came perinstalled in the tmobile HD2, which i have heard from others that it could posi.. be the stock tmo rom why this game runs so bad. i really dont want to flash to another rom i feel like if i got a bad ass phone i really shouldnt have to flash it but i will if a have to >< :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] systematicdecline:
can i use this on my tilt 2 2.5 sense rom energy april 1st? thanks

or does it have to have the hardware for hd2?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] br3nt:
its only for the hd2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] streamg:
does this patch solves the problem with SPB Mobile Shell 3D message effect, i installed it but it still the same

in this video HTC Diamond 2 has this effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjn620IMxwU&feature=related

pics in attachment, mine is one without effect and one is with effect
[Windows Mobile Software Development] globalgpj:
I also have the same image on the right as you.

Not sure how to resolve this. Have you asked spb ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] streamg:
i asked them but still no right answer
[Windows Mobile Software Development] koopiskeva:
Just installed and it's so far so good. (TMOUS HD2)

tested using Flight Commander and Tower Defense, both are much smoother to play than previously. Thanks so much!

Edit: The Youtube application on the stock TMOUS rom has issues connecting after installing this oddly enough.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] youxiaoyu:
great works! thanks for the brilliance!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] curiousGeorge:
Copy the game to the device memory (it's too fast for the t mobile sd card).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
Hmmmm.

ok not sure if this is a coincidence or not? I have asphalt 4 which i played perfectly before i installed this.

However, since then, i am now further into career mode so not sure if that is causing the crashes, the game now simply stops at random intervals. Sometimes it is on the 1st lap other times it will be lap 3 . But it now always stops? I dont know if it is just a coincidence or not? I tried both settings and still the game just closes.

btw I had issues with flight commander freezing my hd2 and the only way to resolve that problem was by removing the battery. That, thanks to this app, is now no longer a problem. Thanks for that. ;-)

edit - ok after re-reading the post above could that also be my issue? I have all my games installed to storage card to save the meagre space on my phone?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Manhack:
sike222,

I've been playing Asphalt 4 HD for many hours after installing this patch, completing the career mode and so on. I didn't have a single crash. And yeah, the game is installed on my storage card. You may want to uninstall the driver and test the game without it, but I think it's unrelated.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
hey manhack thanks for the reply. I have uninstalled the game and installed it onto my device. I will try that and see how that goes. If the same happens i will try your suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] heybhouse:
anyone know if this is needed for the US t-mobile HD2. i haven't noticed any lag at all with any games i've tried including ferrari gt and electopia. also, if i gave it a try, is it uninstallable? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
ok it would appear it is not this app causing the problem. I tried to uninstall it and the game still crashes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Charliehustle:
yes i will second this, my tmobile rom seems fine, sometimes i get little judders and stuff put nothing too crazy, will this help?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
It might, it might not. Some 3D apps/games have little to no issues rendering without it. It appears to be related to 3D complexity, the _more_ complex it is, the _less_ of an issue it seems to be. The problem only seems to surface when the app/game blows through the 50 fps barrier (might be 60, I'd have to look it up).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] heybhouse:
thanks for the info chainfire. is in uninstallable if i were to give it a try? thanks and thanks for the great work!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Yes, it's uninstallable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Reignzone:
This is rather good to know...

I've been on the fence in regards to whether or not this is "essential" for T-Mobile USA models.

I don't utilize my handset for "gaming" at all... so from what I understand... it may NOT be necessary. Correct?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
You are correct
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
@chainfire: can you tell me what the idea behind your improved driver is? I guess it is something with EGL...;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Small modifications to EGL and an attempt to fix the vsync issue. The latter fixes most of the speed :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] little_player:
Hello...

Can I use this driver on my Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 or is it not so good. The B7610 have OpenGL ES 2.0 too.

sorry i'm german
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
nope, only for snapdragon
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
v2.0 released

v2.0 has been released, per-app configurable!

Please re-read the first post :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mskip:
Great job mate, as always :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] little_player:
Many Thanks

And is it possible that this driver at all when for Samsung? :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sandraccd:
Hi!

I must to uninstall the other driver 1.1?

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nandeh:
Thanks a lot mate!! Downloading and testing :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
yes.

@chainfire: Noice! Time to give it a go and probably open the wallet up again.. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] heybhouse:
awesome work as always. unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have any effect on my usa version of the hd2 and the new driver actually slows core player down a wee bit based on my benchmark tests. i wonder if they fixed the drivers before they released it. anyways, still awesome of you to make the drivers. thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wardh:
with 1.1 I got 20fps with coreplayer, now its all 24! Great! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] scilor:
Just awesome chainfire :D... I everytime now when you release such a tool that I spent not enough time on WM...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zzyzx80:
version 2.0 feels faster than 1.1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Manhack:
Thanks for the update, it's working nicely. What I'm wondering about is: does the 2.0 patch introduce any new performance tweaks, or is it merely an update to provide per-app configurability? I failed to find any notions of further speed improvement in the release post, yet some people claim it's become faster. Personally, I haven't noticed any performance change.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lcheowl:
hmm... I don't know why I got an unhandled exception occured at $0001BC90: EAccessViolation : Access violation

[Windows Mobile Software Development] domineus:
big diff in coreplayer here and loving the speed on my tmo hd2

though I changed the settings to 16 ms instead of the default 18
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djcedric:
you have done a good work,here is my donation 6TD925788M413094E

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] d33f:
I've got the same problem and some more $00 codes.

My rom version is; 1.72.172.0 (82124) NLD

Os version/build: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] d33f:
nevermind, problem has cleared by reinstalling on to the phone memory
[Windows Mobile Software Development] daslegat:
really great patch chainfire! havent tested your new version yet, but thanks for your great work.

are there any performance improvements compared to v1.1?

and what exactly is the difference to the ati driver that is mentioned somewhere here at xda-devs? just wondering if someone has some benchmarks between these two and the original htc driver...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mazahaka999:
which CAB?

Which cab should i use on HD2?

Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-2.0.cab or Chainfire-TG01-D3DM.cab?

Or should I use both of them at a time?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
You need both.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gamepro56:
Just to make sure... What does it do exactly?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] HanzoVR4:
Thank You very much,just installed in my hd2,work perfectly :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Read the 1st post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
The title of the thread gives this away!!

The title reads: HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch v2.0 - Configurable!

this leads me to believe that this is an updated 3D Driver for the HD2.Leo which is configurable.

mmmmmmmmmm - this is a mystery, we need some detectives!!!! SHERLOCK!!!! Where are you??

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] paulieboy:
Great patch! Made a nice difference on my TMOUS. I'll be leaving a donation.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Hamido123:
do the drivers change the videoplayback performance???

i´ve improvements in hd 720p video benchmark

can someone confirm??

Edit:

i´ve a tg01

and use core codec player
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NeoS:
Good to see you're doing what I could not. I'm afraid I don't have the time nor the energy anymore too keep lobbying at the right ppl, but I don't think you'll need my help. ;)

I'll keep my eye on the progress in case I somehow win the lottery and am able to buy a Leo. :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bouloama:
Bigg ups and keep up the good work Chain and co.!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zeus34:
Now i test hardreset sense work beter but not smoothly :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] o2neouzr:
maybe those things you removed are actually necessary, because now sense is slow as ****. and a couple of other apps i have are half the speed
[Windows Mobile Software Development] danderzeth:
thanks for the hard work and the progress you made!! but i'm gonna wait a little bit longer for the next patch and see how it works for other people.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rovex:
Yeah sense is slower now. Its slower in that its some way behind my finger now in a swipe from the home tab to the last one and the weather animations on the home screen are slower to. The wiper is about half as fast to wipe.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] H2D2:
Hello Chainfire,

Thanks for making this driver patch, however I'm experiencing problems after installing (ROM version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE)

NFS Undercover has become glitchy (scenery turning black, car model becoming corrupted) and experiencing severe slow-downs, however it returned to normal after I removed the patch. I can't say I noticed any effect adverse or otherwise within Sense itself.

If you'd like me to test any other apps just let me know (mp4 playback within HTC album was fine).

HTH
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
It's a first release, wait for 1.1 :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
I install it on my acer s200, i get lower points on every benchmark, its clearly meant for the messed up drivers of the htc leo, anyways this clarifies that acer s200 users wont benefit from this patch, bur non the less exelent job you have done here chainfire, keep it up mate.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Hmm well I'm now seeing issues I was not seeing in Patch 5, so wait for 1.1 then try again... something went wrong with Patch 6 (public 1.0)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RedDevils88:
i have tested it on Flight Commander. NO LAG AT ALL! this is amazing.. thank you very much for your work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RedDevils88:
however, HTC sense is much slower than it was... :S:S??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] timeslot:
hmm i think the slider is a little bit slower but the tab-content contacts browsergab etc is faster
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Yes RedDevil that is the problem...

I can either make Manila fast or Flight Commander smooth... Currently it doesn't go both ways, but working on that.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] anja31:
Dont worry Chainfire,

tested on 1.48 rom and it feels smoother now - HTC Sense is fine. Thanks for your work

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jaqb:
Good job Chainfire...as always.

just wanted to report that:

With the patch, the Game South Park Mega Millionaire exits by itself. Its was working fine before the patch.

same with patch 1.1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] russeini:
could not install

hi chainfire. i couldnt install the patch. it gave me "installation was unsuccessful" message
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Patch updated... Please read the "readme" part of the first post specifically.

Report everything you find :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] style1:
just out of curiousity since this ups the opengl capabilities of this phone think it will make apps like the Samsung task switcher from the omnia II actually work on our devices?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norgan:
Thanks for the update, i have installed this in my rom and it works well.

Thanks for the work, donation sent, and well deserved.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] esnwizz:
does this work on hd mini?

seems like it doesn't work. HTC sense couldn't start...and the resolution for config was out..
