i see some rooms with 3d driver

what is ? 3d driver for htc touch cruise ?:confused:

sry for bad english
[Touch Cruise General] fullagon:
Hi 3d driver is as the name suggest a driver that enables hardware acceleration of opengl graphics on the polaris, It was never an official release by HTC but was made by a few very clever developers. Unfortunately the driver was never quite finished off for the polaris as development moved on to support the newer phones. The reason you see roms with 3d and without 3d is because the 3d driver takes away about 15mb of ram so some people just prefer to have more memmory and no 3d as the last time i played around with it the 3d did not work with things like spb mobile shell anyway. So it was sort of really cool but kinda useless ( no disrespect to developers intended)

Initially it looks good. I'm still going through it and will edit this post i'm sure. The first thing I noticed was your directions on how to add files. Anyone with common sense would be able to figure it out, however, for those that can't figure it out- you need to darken the text. White instruction text on a light background is hard to read. Other than that, so far so good!
[G1 Apps and Games] Andrew Terekhine:
Thanks, Ok it will be addressed in the coming build. We have no such issues in other skins: e.g. menu > more > select view > main view.
[G1 Apps and Games] PanzerGeist:
Just installed. Initial impressions are good.

The UI when the screen is rotated 90 degrees is a bit off-putting (ran that way for five minutes before re-orienting and getting the WAY pretty interface).

[G1 Apps and Games] ehb224:
The fetch album art function does not always fetch the correct art if there is more than one .jpg present. I have some folders with both front and back album art and it has been selecting the back album art. All the other music players I have tried have selected the correct .jpg or have an option to change the art. Is the program looking for a certain filename such as "folder.jpg" or "albumart.jpg"? Also, is the program able to fetch art from the internet? I have not been able to do so. I have only had art show up in folders that already have it present.

Other than that the player is excellent and I love the EQ! However, I second that presets would be very nice to include and get people started, as would giving frequencies for the EQ bands instead of just "High" and "Low" if this is possible to achieve.

Hope these suggestions are useful to you to improve what is one of the best media players I have tried (and I have tried every one that I can find!)

Very nice. Two thumbs up, friend.

As for the lyrics option, is there a way we can have them to be possibly read from a txt file on sdcard? I'm just assuming you're going to use it with a website, of course. However, a lot of music, heavy metal for example, commonly lacks lyrics online.

Just a suggestion, and should be easily enough implemented.

Still, very nice application. =]

*please don't read "my phone is slow" but "I want the telephony functions load (very) fast"*

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to get dialer, calls log and contact list fast as light.

Exemple: each time you launch the dialer he is keep in memory. If you launch "heavy" application and launch the dialer (Oops: I mean contact list) again it's take up to 5 secs to appear.

*Edit because of unhelping answers elsewhere* It's possible to lock "telephony functions" (dialer, call's log and contact list) in memory ?

As I say in another forum : I know this is a strange idea, but I have this smartphone to call people too ! :D

Edit: I use a rooted HTC Magic 32B w/ Cyanogen mod 4.2.15.1 plus 10mb Hack/JIT...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ady:
I'm not sure what you mean by "keeping in memory". I take it that you have recently switched from windows mobile? Can you give an example of a "heavy application" that causes slow down?

I would suggest removing any task manager or memory optimization applications from the phone. These are the ones which cause the most slow downs.

Also, the slow down could be caused by putting more stuff on the phone than it is capable of, as in running too many background applications. Try checking your settings->application->running services to see if you have a bunch and try removing the unnecessary ones.

Also, keep in mind that just because an application is in memory, will not make it faster to switch to. The time that it takes for the CPU to load something from disk is only a small part of the total time that is required to display it. If the CPU is occupied with a bunch of background services then the foreground application will only be able to claim a share of the CPU time and thus, regardless of being on disk or in memory, will still be slower to load.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheSSJ:
Maybe you can use a swap device to optimize memory usage?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] meuhlavache:
In fact, heavy application is not the good explaination, it's more about how Android manage memory. So when I talk about "heavy application" I'm talking about the application who, because of Android memory managment, unload another "thing" from RAM.

Two day ago someone ask me to add him in my contact list and i've to tell him to wait a little until my contact list to load.

The original question, who was not understand by others people elsewere, is :

If I launch the dialer (or contact list) once, it load "slowly" (~2secondes, "very long")... if I immediatly press home and launch it again it load almost instantaneously (fast as light)...

Now, if I load some applications (web browser, gmail and Spotify at same time) memory is freed so, if I launch the dialer again, it will load "slowly" again.

Question : How to get the case 1 for dialer, call's log and contact list in most situation ?

I can understand that slow load time may happend in some case (high cpu load, ...) but why after the first launch, the second one (without doing anything else) is *VERY* fast ?

"Keep Home in memory" in Spare Parts allow fast display of home after using "heavy" applications (maybe because he's already loaded/keeped in RAM or stuff like that), I want the same for the telephony functions.

I'm trying to avoid "garbage" solutions like autokiller&co, just want a

real

tips (even if it's a little bit more technical than create a swap partition).

PS: I never touch a WM phone, before my phone was old, not multi-task and "telephony functions" was faster than right now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mdneilson:
*bump*

I would like to lock the dialer in memory too. It takes a LONG time on CM5.0.8 (5 seconds!) to launch. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bioan:
Bump! I have the same problem. Any solutions ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] killwaz:
bump

in CM7 there is an option to keep home in memory which lock the home data in ur memory when ever u press the home button it switch fast to it cuz it was never killed

maybe that affects the loading of other apps since it takes a space of ur memory depending on what u have on your home screen but for some ppl its important to switch fast to home screen ... same for the messaging app

On the other hand there is No option to lock Phone app in the memory although its way more important than keeping ur home screen in memory ,,, i mean its what the phone was made for in first place...

why do i need to wait 2-5 seconds til the phone app loads so i can dial a number ,,, makes u miss the old times really!!

i hope any one knows a way to lock the phone app in memory so it's always awake and loaded when ever its in need and it shouldn't affect the load of other apps since its very light and its way lighter than home app :/

All,

Sorry about if this is a duplicate post, but can anyone confirm if the procedure http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38 is still good for rooting a G2 Touch phone?

I have been using mine for a while and am eager to be on a later version of Andriod. Do the new builds have the HTC Applications (such as bookmarks where you can take photos) or are they free of these applications?

If they don't have them, is there anyway I can add them?

Many thanks.

Do you want to root your phone or put a new rom on? Rooting the phone will only allow you to run apps which require root access, most custom rom's have root built in and can allow you to use v2.1 of android os. If you want to put on a custom rom then follow my guide in my sig :) if you just want root I think that guide is good.

Read the custom ROM topics to see what apps or tweaks have been made.

I'm a long time xda user but just got my Nexus One 2 hours ago so I'm a n00b.

I want to flash it. I have now spent 2 hours reading the Nexus One forums (all of them) and everyone seems to have avoided posting any instructions on how to unlock it. Everyone seems to assume you already know how to do this or have done it already.

I've had to go outside of XDA to find instructions, and even they tend to skip things - e.g. "Power up into bootloader and then do xxx", but they didn't tell you that you have to install USB drivers on your PC etc. etc. etc.

Can someone create an FAQ on "How to Unlock your Nexus One"? It might reduce the frustration n00bs feel coming in here.

Spend a couple of weeks to make sure the hardware has no defects, only then root it. In the mean time you can play with the hundreds of apps that dont require root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
To be fair, if you don't realize you have to install drivers to get windows to talk to a device, you probably should not be attempting to unlock/root said device.

As far as an FAQ for unlocking? The search in this forum is rather nice...

The site path for this would go something like:

Q&A forum

-Sticky: ***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"

Not having a single FAQ for start->finish is nothing new for an android device. Perhaps we have all gotten used to it, or are willing to search around for enlightenment...no idea.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] roger.higginbotham:
Hi All,

After spending a large amount of time trying to find a solution for the SPL 1.24 to hack. Mainly the Telstra Australia WM6.5 Upgrade. Combining the many efforts of XDA Members I finally got a proper working hack going. I thought I'd post it straight away for the rest of the world to see.

First what you need to do is download the WM6.5 Upgrade from the HTC Website. When you open this you need to go to Start - Run - Type %TEMP% Find the location where the extractor has dumped the files and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to MAPLIMG.nbh. Copy this to the root of the SD Card. Reset your phone into Bootloader and let the flash start. It will fail at 10% than reset itself and install it properly.

From here you need to download a cab clearsecurity.cab which is suppose to be for the Samsung Blackjack 2 but it enables the HTC Snap to be hacked.

From there download the desired Custom Rom and run 1.19 auto.bat and watch the screen go black and the custom rom install.

Once again thanks for the post.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] Badcam:
THis looks great. I'd love to try this now, but before I do, I'm hoping you might be able to answer a question of mine, to ease my mind:

If you need to reinstall the original Rom and SPL 1.24, is there any way the the Telecom company can see that the phone's firmware has been previously changed?

Thanks.

Flashing back to Telstra 6.5 Rom

Hey guys, I believe you can just download the latest 6.5 Telstra Rom for the snap from the HTC website. I havern't tried it since I have hacked the phone and the only reason why you would obviously do it is for warranty. Actually I also found out that you can get WM 6.1 rom but you need to contact HTC and you can upload it from there FTP. Sorry I can't provide any more assitance maybe when my phone breaks and I need to flash it back I will post up what I have done.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Badcam:
Hi Roger

Thanks for the reply. This is what's stopping me from trying to flash the ROM. Knowing whether I can restore it back to it's original condition without the telecom company knowing it's been flashed. The phone is only new and if it does develop a hardware problem and I had to send it back, I'm sure they won't fix it under the warranty if they can see that it's been flashed.

If as you suggest, it's just a matter of re-flashing it with the original rom, then that's fantastic. But, I'd really like some firm confirmation before going ahead.

The ROM developed by ookba looks AMAZING and I can't wait to try it.

Thanks.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] roger.higginbotham:
Flashing Advice

Hi Badcam,

I have owned many HTC phones and I have to say the Snap is probably the most durable out of them all. I find with the Snap and the newer models of the HTC phones from australian carriers they really lock them down and you don't get the full functions as what you pay for. Worst of all they infest the phone with all these carrier features that are not needed.

It is really your choice flashing your phone. Every single phone I have had I have flashed and never had problems only when I drop them lol. For warranty purposes you can always flash back to orginal rom and just tell them thats how you got it. They really can't say much. But I did abit of reading and when you do upgrade the rom from HTC website it does install SPL 1.24 back meaning if you want to flash it back you need to go through the hack again.

Hope this has been helpful.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Badcam:
