So, in theory, it would be possible if Samsung had published required specifications. Sadly, they surely won't do it, same as they won't rewrite libraries to make it easier for programmers...

Hard to not be worried, because apparently most of programmers don't want to write own shaders...

Personally I'd like to see any implementation of tigre working on O2, but guess we have to wait until "normal" version is finished.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Hm, its not exactly correct that samsung has not meet the requirements, it's just that they do only the absolut minimal implementation. It's sad, I agree.

If you have a shader compiler or not, there is no way around to write own shader, thats the difference between ogles 1 and 2. Tigre will support developers with predefined shaders. For example there will be bump map shader offered by Tigre, you only have to set the normal map. Because there are soooo many different shader effects I can only offer the most important ones and add new shaders to the library over time. But remember, it's not that hard to get started with glsl (the language shaders are written with), but its nothing for beginners.

So I started with the developement of Tigre 2 yesterday and I think it will not take too much time. Using Tigre 2 will be the same as it is with the currently available Tigre 1 Engine.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jebise101:
well could you not use some of the anroird devices and we what kind of drivers they have and complie them for winmo. Looking at the samsung galaxy spica since it very similar to the omnia 2.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
I don't think that this will work, since Android native apps don't work on the WM Kernel. A driver is like a bridge between hardware and software. The hardware is the same in your case, but the driver is not able to run on Windows Mobile, only on Android.

Have you tried the OpenGl ES 1.0 compatibility layer from Chainfire? Maybe that will work...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jebise101:
well i have that installed and i have yet to notice a difference in any of my apps so can't say for sure. I would love a full working driver.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tsamolotoff:
Well, pretty intimidating eyeball you made :)

Is it right that the eyeball is directed high up if gsensor is enabled, and it glares at you if you put the phone in a horizontal position (e.g. on the table)?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jebise101:
any updates?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Yes! Tigre 2.0 will be out very soon, for more details have a look at the news page on my site. Currently I'm working on the demos for 2.0, but sadly I have some exams in 2 weeks. There will be much new stuff in 2-3 weeks...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NuclearEMP:
any updates with O2 support???
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Nearly done, but there's one big problem: I can't find a shader compiler by samsung! Anyone found it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] krecik2002:
Hi Philippe,

I don't think that Samsung has ever released shader compiler, but apparently there's some compiler from the other device with same chipset as Omnia. There's been a little discussion around it on Modaco forum and I believe that GinKage has extracted all what is needed and posted there.

(unfortunaltely forum does not allow me to post a link, but you can find it at page #24 of "OpenGL ES 3D drivers, v1 compatibility layer" pinned topic). Maybe you could give it a try?

And about lacking OpenGl ES 1.x support in Omnia - there's already Ginkages v1 compatibility layer exisiting that works nicely with some games. Maybe it would work with Tigre too, or could be modified to work with it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Thanks for that info, I'll have a look at it.

PS: Tigre 2.0 should be released until the end of the week:-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
So, I've updated my page and some resources of the Tigre Engine 2 are already online (documentation, info,...). There's a guestbook too;-)

Now I'm working for the new demos, has anyone a request/wish/idea for new demos?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] krecik2002:
Any progress?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Yes, the preview of the SDK is available by request right now, final version (public) nearly done...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
The Tigre 2.0 SDK is now available!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Good news for all Omnia II users! Tigre 2.1 will be released very soon, featuring DirectX transformations and loading shaders from binary files. This means that a) OpenGl ES 1.x is no more a requirement and it is possible to run Tigre on devices without a shader compiler. There will be only one last thing that is needed: a shader compiler by samsung! The new requirements will look like this:

- OpenGl ES 2.0

- OpenGl ES 1.x is optional, no more required

- either a device with shader compiler, or a shader compiler that needs to be delivered by the gpu manufacturer

As krecik2002 posted above, Samsung doesn't offer that tool by default, put there seems to be a workaround. So it's no more a Tigre internal thing, all is dependends now on that workaround. I would say chances are 90% to get Tigre 2.1 working on Omnia II and similar devices.

By the way: a new demo is on the way, it will simulate Windows Phone 7 Series;-P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Hmm, I'm sure I have an OmniaII compatible shader compiler here somewhere. From memory, it is from Meizu M8 SDK (note that the compiler itself is made by Samsung, not Meizu!). If needed I can look it up.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
That would be very nice. If it works, Omnia II is supported too;-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
I am away from the machine with the files, but I will be back there Monday. If I don't let you know by Tuesday, I have forgotten to do it and you must send me a PM to remind me ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Ok, thank you;-P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] krecik2002:
If this is going to speed things up, attaching compiler posted by GinKage in MoDaCo forum (it's the same one I've been writing about earlier).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chainfire:
Ah yes indeed that is the same one I have. I know this one works for OmniaII.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] krecik2002:
Any progress on the project or Philippe has a long vacations?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Yes, long vacations and a new job;-P Next week I have 2 days off that I can spend for Tigre. Version 2.2 is nearly done, featuring:

- new demo, should run also with Omnia II (note: the current version is allready omnia II ready, there's just no demo yet)

- some new features to improve normal mapping, parallax mapping, ambient occlusion and so on

- full source code;-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uygar2580:
Hi, your work is really cool. i like it :) Demos works very well on my HD2.

I have a question. There is good SDK's you have released but im not a programmer or i dont understand this codes for how to use it.

I want to just view my .3ds models on my HD2, is it possible ? not want to make a game or application. Just want to view my 3Ds MAX models on my HD2 with free model rotation with touch on screen. :) Bad english but i hope you understand what i mean :)

i request a PC app to export my 3ds models to CAB files like your demos.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Yes, you can do that easily, but you have to convert your 3ds file to an obj file.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uygar2580:
oh thanks for reply =) how i insert this .obj files on cab, need just replace is enough ?

ed: ok i tried to replace eye.obj file with a cab editor, i replaced it but i cant run app on my device, file not found or index errors appear.

how i replace this file ? if there is a tool like model extract or import its be amazing :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Theoretically it is just that easy, but you must know something about cg: A shader is a little program that runs on the gpu and can be used to determine the look of an object. In old times you could only load a texture for an object. Now you have different textures such as a diffuse map, a normal map and so on. A shader then takes all that maps and creates the final surface. The shader needs a model with specific attributes such as normals, texture coordinates and so on. I guess that your model does not have normals or texture coordinates. By the way, the eye demo uses Tigre 1.14, I recommend you to use Tigre 2.1 since it fixed a lot of errors in the obj support. Should I rewrite the eye demo with Tigre 2? It will take some time since I'm a bit busy right now...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uygar2580:
ok i understand. i have another idea. May you write a 3d model viewer app for PPC. I think it's being very popular for ppc's because there are too much designers like's it for presenting their models on this portable monsters, with your tigre support real quality renders can be presenting on this device. A free camera movement and pinch to zoom support may be amazing :) Just open your viewer app (Tiger viewer like name :D ), select supported 3d model file (3ds, obj, or max etc.) and tap load, tada ! :) TV-out supported devices may more cool for projecting this presentation :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phippu:
Yes, I can do that, but it will take some time and it will support only obj and Tigres own binary format, since it would not make much sense to implement 3ds and max support...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Hi!

I want to know if there is a "best" way to enjoy the highest quality and smooth playback from veoh, youtube and also southpark.com .

Also, what settings do you recommend when converting movies, or mainly sitcoms dvds to the player. I want the best I can get without going into choppy mode...gotta love Three's Company on the go :D

Also recommendations on what program to use paid or free is welcome.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kenichi:
I don't know about online website because most of them are usually choppy, but I do know about encoding videos for your Touch Pro2. If you want a free encoder (which I use) for your windows mobile phone it would be Windows Media Encoder (google it) its from Microsoft, it has built in settings for your windows mobile playback and you just have set resolution and how high your quality you would like. Also you could use At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver to have a smoother movie on Windows Media Player on your Touch Pro 2. Thats pretty much it for putting movies on your Touch Pro 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kierandill:
Lots of trans-coders out there, but not nearly so many that can go directly from DVD to a file. Most you would have to rip from DVD first. A great exception is Handbrake (free). If you are going to use either Media Player or HTC album (both of which are accelerated under WM6.5), then you can go straight from DVD to high quality (720xwhatever, 1500kbps video MP4) and it plays flawlessly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I will try that tonight.

I do have the D3D driver already.

BTW, I tried installing HTC album on my Tilt 2 but all I get is a was unsuccessful error.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kenichi:
Also with the Handbrake quote, you will need to have a unlocked DVD in order to rip your movie. Other that its mostly explained.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I was not able to test much so I decided to give my favorite converter a shot (total video converter).

Used the pocket pc or similar profile and made the video (avi file) from 700MB to 400 by reducing quality but it was very choppy.

Then decided to give the original AVI a shot and it runs super smooth with core player (WMP cannot read it). The quality is awesome but way too big.

I tried the Windows Media Encoder 9 but I did not see a specific version that gives me the 400x800 resolution my device has.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kenichi:
Shaolin, you are looking in the incorrect place, at first it doesn't let you choose your screen resolution because you must select the type of file that fits into a type of device that is going to play that file that you are trying to play in WMP on your phone.

Here are the steps to get the video size you want, which I hope you will try, you must go to the New Session Wizard, then click on Convert a File (If you are trying to convert a video file into WMV).

Then find your source file which is your Video you want to watch on your TP2, after that choose your output (Where you want to put that file after it encoded into WMV)

After click Pocket PC (Note that you won't change resolution here)

After all that, choose specifically Pocket PC widescreen video (CBR), then choose the quality of your Bitrate, Audio, and if you want you can add all the Description to your video file if you'd like. (Note that you won't change resolution here either)

Click next, and DON'T check mark Begin converting when I click finish.

Then click finish, after that click Properties on your Windows Media Encoder 9 (it should be on top with a Check mark inside a paper symbol) and click the Video Size Tab. There at the bottom of the wizard you should find Width and Height, set the Resolution to 800 x 480 if you want to view your video horizantel or 480 x 800 which is vertical ( which I don't prefer ) After all that, your video should be small but at a good quality and allowing you to have free space on your Micro SD card, and it should be playing on WMP on your phone.

Hope this helps, good luck,

Kenichi
[Windows Mobile] lostmenoggin:
I've been playing around with oskitchen building my first ROM. I've been searching like crazy and can't find the answers I need. Since this is my first attempt at cooking I'm modding the stock AT&T Tilt2 ROM (21849) from the HTC website and have a couple questions..

1. I only use Titanium and don't want Manila cooked into the ROM. I've found Manila_ATT_2_1_19183217_0 in the EXT tab of oskitchen and unchecked the box. Is this all I have to do to keep Manila from being cooked in?

2. This stock ROM has NETCF 2.0 in the SYS and I'd like to replace it with 3.5. How would I do that? Rip a 3.5 folder out of another build and place it in my SYS folder?

3. I recmodded the packages as instructed in this post in the kitchen thread..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5714524&postcount=439

are there any other dll folders I need to recmod?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] michyprima:
1- Exactly.

2- Exactly. Or just find a NETCF package. I've seen it somewhere.

3- No, if you have native 6.5 NK ;) And tilt2 has it. Also search for it somewhere and rapleace it in your kitchen. (if it is not here already) (Assuming you want to use 6.5 builds, otherwise simply ignore this.)
[Windows Mobile] lostmenoggin:
Thanks a lot for the info! Getting close to cooking this thing. Yes, I'm using 6.5 and osKitchen tells me that it is a native kernel.

I found this post...

http://www.mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=3841

and was wondering if it was safe to de-select any of the packages listed there that are dependent on Manila, since Manila is not going to be installed on my ROM. I am checking to see which manila-dependent packages in my build correspond to ones on that list. So far the ones I am unsure of are..

Contact Utility Engine

HTCFontLink

NewContactCard

Any others I can safely remove? Also going through and removing HTC apps/utilities I don't use. Its a PITA searching for these individually so i can find out what they do.. I started this thing over a week ago lol. So far I've removed..

SignatureReplace - sigs in email and messages

Redial - used for redialing through BT headset

PTT - safe to remove?

MenuEnhancement - from what I gather is for the fullscreen menus..

LockscreenAppLauncher (removing this will keep the WM lockscreen?)

HACSetting - for hearing impaired people

FullScreenPlayer - for use with htc album

FacebookEngine - for Manila

Audio Manager

Album - HTC Album

App_Service

Oh yea... and how do I determine the page pool size?

Thanks for any and all info.
[Windows Mobile] rambo12345:
you can change the pagepool in tweaks tab

and maybe this will very usefel it is for manila but there you can see what is needed for manila

so you can delete them

[Windows Mobile] michyprima:
you can remove contactutility engine and newcontactcard but not fontlink

(as far as i remember...why not using RhodS2 as base instead? It is much better.)
[Windows Mobile] lostmenoggin:
How do I determine what size to set the Page Pool?

Great link. Thanks a lot. Reading now :)

Thanks again :)

Baby steps lol. I'm new to this cooking thing so I wanted to start off modding the ROM it came with since I've been using it for a while and I have a decent idea of what I want changed. I have a lot to learn and I also wanted to know I wouldn't miss on anything carrier specific for my phone, keyboard and other features to work.. I have downloaded this file which is I believe the RhodS2 you are referring to..

RUU_Rhodium_S2_Orange_CH-DE_2.08.72.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship.7z

I want to get comfortable working with things first. When I finish this ROM I'll start playing with that one. My Tilt2 is my only phone other than some POS SciPhone i68+ I have laying around so if I mess it up I'm up the creek lol. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm sure I'll have some more soon :D
[Windows Mobile] rgb-rgb:
Watch out removing PTT, it may break your Dialer. AT&T has PTT tied to the dialer somehow.

Seems like your rom is missing a few core parts, and might not be as great as you think it is. Anyway I'm pretty sure the problem is that beam is not enabled. There will be another way to enable it, but I don't know of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsaad1:
A lot of times I will get random programs that I never use listed as open in the task manager. Mp3 store, nba league pass, documents to go, they all keep opening up again even though I never use them. Is there a reason for this? There are other apps that do this too, I just listed the ones I see most often.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert-qfh:
Yes, this is normal. Android loads applications until the RAM is almost full, so they're ready to pop up in an instant when you actually launch them. If an application requires more RAM to work with than available, the system will shut down some of the inactive applications.

There are those task auto-killer programs out there that people use because they think it makes their phone run faster or tidied up, but in fact, most of the time they will slow it down because applications will take longer to start. And consume more power, because there's more work to do when starting an app. A properly written application won't consume any power when inactive, and the RAM has to be powered anyway, so that's why you want it to be used as much as possible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsaad1:
Thanks for the info!

Is there anyway to exclude certain apps from opening up? There are apps on the phone like mp3 store or the stock messaging app that I would never use, so it would be more worthwhile to get the system to keep apps I actually use open instead of just random ones.
