Help with PocketSnes - HTC Excalibur

I get the start screen but I cant get the ROMS to start, it just goes back to the start screen. Any suggestion on how to get the games to start?

Kinda related to this problem I think, but when I use smartgear and I turn off "throttle to 60 fps", it actually speeds up the games, and sometimes it crashes to the start screen.
Check settings, and play with it a little.

Yea I have been I cant figure out why it wont start.

ok I got it the application has to be in the same folder as the ROMS.

I see from your post above you got it to work... But just for future reference you don't necessarily have to have it in the same folder as the roms, did you remember to install the tgetfile program? You can find most emulator stuff related to the dash in my sig!

No i never heard of "togetfile" its just an exe. Someone mentioned in Modaco that it had to be in the same folder as the roms. I messed around with the settings and stuff, I dont really like it, the games are choppy and the control is sloppy.

You have to install TGETFile on the phone first I think... As far as choppiness though, you will find that it is more choppy with sound enabled. If you try without sound it should run a little more smoother (not perfect though). Overclocking your Dash might give some results as well. I've tried it with mine overclocked to 228-240 and it seemed to work a little better but again not perfect, so I just disable the sound and run at normal clock speed just to save battery (at least until I get a better battery, or upgrade to the HTC Snap/Maple thing - whichever comes first)

^playing an emulator with a trackball will be interesting. Mine is clocked at 252.
I do have the sound off and the screen skip set at 3. It seems to do ok.

htc hermes lag???

the problem I have is anytime I open anything theres a lag of 1 to 3 seconds at times. when I type it takes 1-2 seconds for it to catch up with what I had typed. its getting real annoying and don't have much programs open, is there some kind of tweak that can fix this. it would really turn my productivity up ten folds... thanks

yea dude, flash a new rom, what happened is your windows directory got loaded and is slowing down the preformance on your entire ppc.. some of the newer roms have fixed this.
but se I had recently flashed over to crc's 14.1.

when you open file explorer and browse into windows directory. how long does it take to load?
CRC is usually fully loaded, hence it will be slow. Try a lite ROM and see if you have any performance difference.

this could thoretically happen on a light rom also, if he were to install allot of apps that are heavy on installing to the windows directory.

Agreed, performance goes down once you start installing many applications or quit flashing for a few days
Wasn't it with CRC's roms that Odd numbered roms were the stable roms and even numbered roms were in developement?
Could be using a developement rom that has a few bugs to be worked out....

Just use CRC r13, its stable and more performance than r14.1

im currently running now 13.0 stable but still the same, is there something within the registry i can do or something or could it be the auto word completion thing?
i do have quite some software on my phone but majority of them are utility programs that help me clean and or tweak my settings.
i dont wanna crank up my core speed as that will already kill the juice of my battery of what little i do get out of the day,
Use advanced config to make sure you are running with .net framework 3.5... I found a few of the newer roms have it listed as "disabled"...
I can confirm this slowdown. I tried different roms with and w/o manilla 2d interface. Recently, there has been a weird change in the codebase that causes an extreme slowdown in some applications. For example, I am a regular POWDER player, which is an awesome roguelike game. a month or two ago, I had no problems playing POWDER. But the last few roms gave me great trouble. Now the game freezes every 5-10 seconds for a few seconds. I know there is something wrong with the roms because the game is the same game I played 2 months ago. And I don't install many applications to use /windows directory. actually, I install almost nothing and this slow down hits even without installing any applications.
I always use naked roms, but recently there has been a serious lack of them. The reason "may" be the sort of bloated roms. I just hope that somebody comes with a truly naked (.net only) rom so that we can test this hypothesis.
I guess I found the source of the problem. fonts. extra fonts.
One of the programs I install by default after every flash puts three different fonts into the \windows folder. I renamed these fonts and restarted the pda. The annoying slowdown when playing POWDER is now almost gone. Once in a while it still gives me a short freeze, but these freezes are not as frequent as before. The game is much more playable now.
by the way, when I was wandering through my windows folder, I realized that there are an enourmous number of youtube files in it. How unfortunate, because I never use the youtube application. Appearantly, too much storage space is wasted for a program that I never use. I will definitely consider a non-youtube non-manilla non-htchome ROM for the next flash.

ok, couldn't wait till morning. I have been testing the rom for last hour and oh God!... this is the best, fastest, most stable ROM I have flashed in a while. I installed my regular set of software and it is still lightning fast. the windows directory loads in under a second. Probably something like 0.3 seconds!!! All applications are so responsive and everything works so fast, I am finding it difficult to not to cry. Let's see what will happen after a couple of days. But seriously, my hermes hasn't been this awesome for the last two months.
the links not working
Look around, there are a heap of Lite roms available at the moment... Try Darkvision or Tai_SW's rom... Just to name a couple...
I'm following... so heres my idea. I'm not gonna flash my phone just yet (I got a good rom working on it), but...
Can someone either point me to an ultra light rom that has titanium home, or possibly explain how to get titanium onto a non-titanium rom? I know thats like asking "how do you build an engine" or something, but is there a good starting point?
All I want is a rom thats fast, has titanium home, and has the Touchflo 2d phone skin (for big fingers).
P.S>. Why do roms slow down over time for no reason? I've noticed the latest crop of 6.5 roms run good for a day or two, then start going REALLY slow. I can't nail it down.. I try Oxios but it doesn't help. I'm not installing anything either. The honeycomb gets jerky, the "red end button" starts getting a lag / not working at all, etc.
Thanks.

[Help Needed!] Stuck with ROM emulation..

Hi there,
My first post on this forum so bare with me Last week I got my HTC Touch HD, and I'm now for a day or two trying to get emulation of ROMS (GBA in this case) working. My favourite emulator seems to be MorphGear, due to the fact I can also emulate NES, SNES etc. on it, which I also like. The problem however is, the emulation of the GBA ROM works, although with very choppy framerate and lagging, bad sound. I've searched quite a freaking lot to find out what the problem is, and have come across some similar problems but nowhere a decent answer.
I've also read a lot about people that DID get their sound and framerate to work just well. PocketGBA is something I've also tried but it seems no option since A) it does not load the ROM, just shows a white screen (ROM is ok, works in morphgear) B) shows no D-Pad and C) I like the skins I can get for Morhpgear, they make gaming easier.
Sorry for the long post, I am really stuck now though and have fiddled around with many settings, reinstalls and tweaks. Tried different programs but it just wont do.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

AT&T Tilt

I know that I am going to be verbally destroyed for asking this but...
lol
I have an AT&T Tilt. Is there any single android distribution that has Working sound, wifi, camera, keypad, gps etc. I've tried a few different versions and each seems to have something good and something bad. Feel free to burn me up with flames of hatred, but hopefully I can get a clear answer somewhere in the inferno

Myn's Warm Donut is near perfect (android 1.6). The only problem I've noticed with it is that the battery status is inaccurate, but that's true for all android builds for the kaiser to my knowledge. Other than that, it runs perfectly fine, very stable and quick, even from the sd card.
Fantastic Thanks!
I'm an idiot, wrong thread ;0
kallt_kaffe produces excellent kernel binaries and VanilijEclair is great!
Alright next question. Everything works but the sound. I can go in to adjust the volume, but when I try to leave that menu option I get "Activity Sound & Display (in application Settings) is not responding."
And in the jewels game I can not hear any sound either.
Any ideas?

are you running haret? currently (to my knowledge) sound does not work.
updating your radio, if its not already, could help
I also have an AT&T Tilt.
To answer your question, it's all about the kernel.
Look for DZO's kernels, and use the newest.
If you use Haret get the newest zImage and pay attention to the correctly editing the txt file where things have to be configured correctly for a Tilt.
If you burn to internal flash, use the NZH editor.
sound: yes
wifi: yes
camera: yes
keypad: yes
gps: yes
Right now I have an ATT Tilt running VaniljEclair with the 6/25 dzo nbh file edied with the nbh editor for my panel type.
Build from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700669

Has anyone tried running the latest zimages under haret? I've tried warm eclair and superfroyo, and both are having the same problem: If I put the phone to sleep, I get a solid white screen when I wake it up. Every time.
Frustrating that the latest distros of Android are unusable on my phone, warm donut worked like a charm.

Actually as far as I am aware this only affects panel 2 and 3, which appear very similar, but use slightly different power management signals, so if you use panel 2 on a device with panel 3, it looks fine, but suffers from strange issues when waking, although I have not heard any issues with setting panel 3 on a panel 2 device yet... maybe I should try it, just for research purposes
I get a solid white background as well, but it goes away after half a second.
I hate to reopen a dying thread but. . .
I have tried 5 different roms, from donut up, and have tried the roms suggested in this thread. I cannot get the camera on my tilt to work for anything. Not a single install has yeilded a working camera. I have the latest radio, newest froyo_tilt kernal, and im using VaniljEclair_RLS7c. . .i get nothing. . .nada. . .is there a fix anywhere for this damnable tilt camera?
Using a froyo kernel on an eclair build results in a non-working camera, you should be using an eclair kernel.
hmm. seems common sense. . .i will be annoyed if that is the issue. . .all the guides say grab the latest kernel and use the nbh editor to set parameters to whatever build ver. I will try the eclair kernel. thank you zenity
OMG common sense ftw!! sorry to waste your time with this, I really appreciate it! gravy!
No problem, it has been mentioned in a few other threads, but it's not that easy to find, unless you are a forum addict like myself
Note that when using the nbh editor, setting donut or eclair refers to the HW3d option only, since donut and eclair have different 3d settings.
And it's never wasted time, someone else with the same problem may read this, so it helps everyone
yea, helped me just now, doing exact same, using froyo nbh with donut,
thanks
^^ there are no stupid questions, and time spent answering questions is never wasted if it helps others also

[Q] Make Touch Pro 2 faster?

Okay, I did a good search and can't find a simple, straight answer for this so I figured I would ask.
What is the best way to speed up my verizon touch pro 2 running WM 6.5. It lags when I try to text and even just going through menus, I don't want to add anything crazy, just something that will make everything run quicker if that is possible. If anyone can help me out here, I would much appreciate it!
I think its several ways to optimize your device speed.
Try to choose new custom fast firmware.
Try to minimize RAM load-look at running apps.
Try overclocking tools.
Try registry hacks.
Try to shout at device "FASTER FASTER"
lol the best advice was "faster faster"
Disable TF3d, or even better, use a 6.1 rom and disable Touchflo.
Okay, thanks for the tips. I will definately trying yelling FASTER at it but if that doesn't work I will try the others

Take A Look At This Thread I Think It Will Solve Your Problems --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887469
That works really well. Thanks Doo Doo
It really shouldn't lag all that bad, unless you have hundreds of messages that need to load.
I personally wouldn't overclock the CPU until I have tried all other options. It's got to have an impact on battery and stability. I've overclocked my devices in the past and most of time it was more trouble than I was willing to live with.
Did you try to HR ? Most time a severe system lag is a sign of screwed up registry. Another issue is available memory.
You can free up lots of RAM by disabling the default Start menu and replacing it with something smaller and faster. I use QuickMenu and WKTask combo.
Finally, switching from Sense to Titanium speeds things up another bit, and Titanium is surprisingly useful when you install a few "missing" plugins (Application launcher (CLauncher), Favorite People, Titanium Weather, Stock tickler plugin).

Turn the S4 into an Oppo Find 7

I wanted to let everyone know for the past day or so ive been testing out the Color OS 2.0 for the I9505, here are some of those results, screenshots, and how to install for yourself.
So, the reason im bringing this up to get started is that for the past year or so i was unable to install this rom on my S4 i assume from not having the correct version of TWRP required for the install (AND the install will fail a few times for random reasons if SU is not installed (rom or not)...I found this out after a full wipe and it not letting me install the rom until i rebooted back into TWRP and told it to root my phone because it found no root access.
So the initial install went like this
Wipe...
Install...
fail halfway...
wipe...
install...
fail haflway...
reboot to recovery from recovery...
tell twrp to root....​back in recovery....
wipe...
install...
success...
Now the rom does include its own gapps package so there isnt a need for that, It also includes its own kernel that because of how heavily modified Color OS is from stock cannot be changed (unless you can find one that will work, the AOSP Ktoonz kernel didnt work and that was the only test i really attempted as i had to re-install the rom (wouldn't boot)
So, once the rom is installed it asks you to pick a language and looks a lot like regular AOSP (dark) but as soon as you do it prompts for wifi and settings FC's, then you move on to accounts and accounts FC's
So to get through this just skip ALL setup processes and type in your name with the built in keyboard (it has to be changed back to full qwerty or your gonna come up wth some weird things)
Then you can go into settings and apply your accounts and things like that to get your contacts and everything back per the usual.
Now onto my impressions of the rom so far...
This is the fastest rom i have ever put on my phone and yes it does come at a cost but from what i could see it is the most overall fluid rom especially when it comes to animations.
It has a lot of cool features i am still learning to use (gesture panel pull up from bottom, lets you draw a shape to preform action and set your own custom...looks cool as hell) and none of them even when enabled slow the device down.
The cost however is battery life...you WANT to have an extra battery or a fast charger on hand because this thing loves to suck power. Im alright with it currently with how fast the thing moves i am going to use it as my daily driver but i went from 50 to 2 in about an hour and a half with screen on. Screen on time isnt that awesome on this phone but standby seems to be pretty good.
Its a nice break from AOSP and Touchwiz, thats all that needs to be said really. Its much faster than either AOSP or Touchwiz even with custom kernels you can take that from me being a crack flasher, ive gone through every kernel made for the device, learnt about them, customized them, and then moved on to test another kernel.
This rom has ceased development but will currently be remaining my daily driver until i can find something else unique, i would say give it a shot guys and see how much you like it
For my install i needed TWRP 2.7.1.0
It will fail, do some troubleshooting to find out why (such as change to RM -rf formatting in settings in twrp) and after you wipe reboot to recovery and let TWRP do the root thing even though there is no rom (i dont know why this mattered at all -_-;;;; but it did) do another wipe when you get it and you should be able to install the rom and it will boot. (THERE ARE NO SIGNAL BARS TO INDICATE SIGNAL STRENGTH when you get in) and once you are finally in make sure you run to your APN settings under Mobile network and then go down to the T-mobile LTE APN and modify it, remove the password and the server info thats in there (for some reason) and change the APN protocol to IPv4/IPV6 and the roaming protocol and then save it so you have good data speeds and such (just to make it set up the same as a standard T-mobile rom)
in this rom ive noticed you CANNOT have wifi on and send MMS so to send pictures ensure you are off of wifi.
There is also a problem being noted in the comments on the rom page with Whatsapp...i dont use it >.> i know what it is but whatever it doesnt bug me at all.
Alright SO TO CLEARLY LIST THE STEPS
1. Wipe phone
2. Attempt to install rom
3. (IF FAILS on install) wipe phone
4. (IF FAILS on install) reboot from recovery to recovery
5. (IF FAILS on install) tell it to root
6. repeat steps 1 and 2.
7. when successful, boot into rom
8. select english and FC your way to the end of setup
9. enter your name or a random name into phone owner
10. setup your account in settings (or just open play store and it will prompt you)
11. Match your APN to T-mobiles standard (Settings>mobilenetworks>APn> T-mobile Us LTe)
--------Remove Password, Server, Change APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6, same with roaming, save and use that apn-------------------
You will not be able to send MMS with WIFI on. (you can if its off)
You WILL have to change keyboards (the one that comes with the rom is absolute ****, use enter to keep what you type english...)
There is a FIX for Whatsapp inside of the roms official forums ( i dont use it though )
ALSO unsure if USB file transfer is working right >.> sure there is a fix for that but it doesnt but me either. (i use wifi file transfer anyways >.>)
YOU CANNOT INSTALL A CUSTOM KERNEL (unless your willing to find one that works)
So far i havnt found any problems for my use, this is one of, if not the, fastest and smoothest roms ive ever used so i am attempting to show others the awesome

Yeah I really like it once its got a new keyboard. Havnt had a force close or random reboot. The thing is so much smoother than any other rom ive tried its crazy. And after about a day the battery drain has gone away. I honestly am thunkibg about keepimg the thing if it keeps going this well as a perm backup.
The onky issues ive seen i listed in the OP but they arent problems for me really
Looks interesting. Props on the info, I'll look into this soon

All Functional
IT seems everything i use the phone for is functional on this rom. I have seen no issues at all with everything that i regularly do and with some added functionality from the android general section (acid audio (i prefer it >.>)) I dont see any reason to change off the rom o.o it has some of the best touch response i have seen on a rom (less lag on inital jerk from finger than touchwiz/aosp) the only thing its missing is the over the top customizations some roms have that will be kinda stock in android L o.o so i think im going to wait for either an L rom or color os 2.5 > 3
>.> <.<
unless another rom peaks my interest before then but im so tired of AOSP and Touchwiz xD and that seems to be the majority of this forum o.o like ive googled a lot of other roms... >.> MIUI and XUI both exist for this phone as does Color OS and many hybrid Touchwiz/AOSP roms exist over in international, as well as many roms that just never make it to our forum because they are being undercut by the popular roms for our device and immediately jump to the end of the forum..some of which are more stable than some of our most popular roms >.<
Sorry i ranted, just overal kind of curious what the Samsung user Obsession is with Touchwiz and AOSP when better than both exist for the devices we use >.> i mean i get liking the style of a rom but im not used to entering a forum here where other roms dont exist o.o i wonder what roms the nexus devices get.
Ooh! This looks fascinating! Im pretty new here but ive lurked forever and I have been looking for a new rom to try. It looks like we value the same things in a rom and the bugs wont be a problem for me either (almost never ever turn on wifi for instance) so im excited to try a rom that youve decided will be your DD.
Ill let ya know how it worked.
Oh man. This ROM is cool...
My phone played nice with it upon install for whatever reason. On my first wipe it took. Most of the setup crashed like you said, for some reason the google log in part didn't crash. After changing the APN settings everything seems to be working great. It really is fast and responsive ( there is a scroll slide effect kinda like iOS that makes lists feel slick)
My small qualm is that it shows that you have no service at all times. Even the weather app says "no service" in it so having that on the home screen and in the status bar is bothersome.
My large qualm is battery. This ROM is freaking gorgeous, I seriously want a phone beefy enough to run like this for a long time, I can't stress how pretty this is for anyone who hasn't tried Oppo's stuff. But I'm getting roughly what OP did on battery though, it feels like only a bit over 1/3 the longetivity of most other Roms I've tried... Reminds me of my old iPhone 4 after 3 years of use. So that really bites. But hell if it isn't pretty.
Another user said the battery problems go away after the ROM settles so imma give that a bit and if it does... I couldn't possibly change it. The weather effects on the home screen are addicting and I love how the rain/snow will fall on icons and splash or accumulate. It feels like a ROM in step with the future.

Another user said the battery problems go away after the ROM settles so imma give that a bit and if it does... I couldn't possibly change it. The weather effects on the home screen are addicting and I love how the rain/snow will fall on icons and splash or accumulate. It feels like a ROM in step with the future.

Oh shoot I forgot to mention, sorry to spam this thread! Some apps return "package file invalid" and you flat out can't install those apps. This was fixed for me by wiping the caches in recovery but I've read this doesn't always work. In the end I personally got every app I wanted installed so idk if that will be a problem but yeah.
My issues with battery life so far have greatly dimmed, I am unsure if it was just the rom getting used to itself or the kernel setting itself up...but my battery issues have gone down greatly.
THOUGH I will mention that it is still worse than AOSP and Touchwiz, just not by nearly as much as previously thought. (EDIT: THE BATTERY LIFE, I actually don't think ill give this rom up
Also I did also have the problem with "Package File Invalid" and I also wiped the caches to get everything to install properly, but I also found that a full storage wipe of the phone (copy everything important off first) prevents that issue with most roms, I may try it with this one if I decide to ever uninstall it in the first place. The rom is kind of amazing...
Normally I would be experiencing some kind of stability issue with an app or something by now or maybe a keyboard...but not with this rom, not at all. It is still running as amazing as when I first turned it on.
OH I have to mention I guess that I did turn on some power saving settings so that may have been what effected the battery life so dramatically. In honesty I think now it lasts me quite a while...I may actually think I get better battery life in the last 15-20% than AOSP or Touchwiz, touchwiz being the only one with a decent power saver setting (with ROM)
but yeah I love this rom and wish there were more like it for our device....I know miui is available and I might look back into it for more of a full themeing effect, but I love the gesture panel and im gonna try to port it over to the miui rom >.> and see if it will load. Seems to be an app that's built into the phone but im unsure how deep rooted it is.
MIUI+ColorOS = Amazing combo.
Thanks though guys for looking into this! glad to see some other crack flashers around.
This rom does seem to be taking kind of a large leap, but at least its forward.

Honestly the battery did get better after a couple days. Aosp has probably spoiled me. I really really liked this ROM.
Edit: and I know what you mean by "forward thinking" this ROM feels like the future.
And yes, definitely a crack flasher here. Even now that I have a ROM that I always fall back on I'm still flashing at least a few times a week, and trying new Roms on weekends. >.<
Will try this soon
this is a really nice rom for the s4 , i didn't have to reflash at all, one wipe flashed the rom, it was succesful and booted right up on the first try. Thanks for this, i tried the newest 9/6 debloated version from the link in the OP but it seemed to be a lil glitchy, the one in OP works fine. Thanks again
