3D acceleration in SPB Mobile Shell 3.5? - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

Guys, I need a little help with 3.5.x! I use a WM6.5 + Manila 2.1 ROM (signature).
I want to activate the 3D accelerated messages and carousel. I tried with the registry changes here, but it didn't work. I set GlEnabled, HqReflection and Reflections to 1, but nothing happens even after a soft reset. Some weeks ago I had almost the same ROM (a previous version), but with a different Model No. (KOVS100 instead of X1i) and I had the option in settings to turn acceleration on, and it worked OK and very fast. I think I have the X2 video drivers installed as part of the ROM in the signature.
Thanks for the help!

Modify ModelName.txt

The easiest way I've found is to make your device think its someone else... change the contents of the \Windows\ModelName.txt (currently "X1i") to the model code for the Touch HD ("HTC Touch HD T8282") and you get 3D Acceleration!
You'll probably need to reboot to get it working and I always need to re-run the Connection Setup afterwards.
Caution: Although I haven't noticed any issues with this technique, making the phone think its a different model may have some implications somewhere along the line!

Nice, thanks! After changing the Modelname to HTC or KOVS100 or anything - the 3D acceleration menu appears there.
But now another problem - after I activate 3D acceleration (and soft reset or not, doesn't matter) pressing the carousel button doesn't do anything anymore and looking at SMS or Email will look the same as it was before, without 3D acceleration. As soon as I disable 3D acceleration from the SPB settings menu, the carousel works again (of course, without 3D effects).
I wonder if the X2 drivers are the problem somehow. Should I try to change my 3D drivers?

Activate 3D acceleration and change the contents of the \Windows\ModelName.txt back to X1 and it wil be ok!

With this change the panels keep on working? thanks

That I didn't try. I eventually changed the ModelName back to X1i, but I had already changed the 3D acceleration to Off. I'll try this when I meet my father (who is using SPB) again.
But I'm not sure this would work. Before I had a ROM (almost the same as I use now, an older version) with the ModelName KOVS100 and it worked without having to change it to X1i.
I'm pretty sure that it's an X2 driver issue, since the older ROM with ModelName KOVS100 didn't have the X2 drivers. But I don't know how to change back to X1 drivers (uninstall is not possible, the drivers are cooked in the ROM). Can anyone help?

Work but the panel crash....

If you like to experiment, you could try with the X2 Panel Manager, maybe that one doesn't crash... Dunno.

Ok... got a problem:
I opened the file model.txt and modified the X1i to HTC Touch HD T8282.
Then, I looked into the SPB settings menu and there was no 3D accel. info, so I decided to softreset the device.
After the softreset, when windows mobile loads and asks for the password, my password is not accepted.
Is there any chance for me to get and use again my phone, except for hard reset ?

Interesting... I didn't have a password when I changed the .txt.

yeah... I had to use SonyEricsson update software and flash my rom.
reinstalled everything but this time I disabled the Lock all together. Modified the txt file, soft reset, changed the 3D settings, modified txt file to X1i and then soft reset again, looks like this time no problems

So far it works ok with my X1 (original ROM, winmobile 6.1), after modifying the ModelName.txt, no hangups.

What about the panel manager? Still working while you have 3D acceleration on?

That I haven't checked. But it seems it's not working. You have to switch back to No 3d acceleration, do a soft reset, and just then the panels work again. I usually use the panels just when I need the FM radio. By the way, is there a method to start the FM radio without using the panels?
LE: Got it . Thanks Pubba!

Maybe you could try with the X2 panel manager. Unfortunatelly I don't have the X1 with SPB right now to try it myself, but hopefully in a few days...

Thanks a ton for this info. I had tried the registry edits too to no avail. Changing model id to KOVS100, reset, turn 3D on worked.
Unfortunately, carousel won't open when I change back to X1i.
Also, X1 Panel Manager freezes phone.
Solution is just to leave it at KOVS100 - doesn't appear to cause any issues.
Also, just use this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531600 for FM radio and the usefulness of Panels is obsolete.

With the panel manager of the x2 the panel works?

Okay, so this is the problem now. I finally found the program and installed it. Now i Can't seem to connect online via USB. Is there a problem with the program? I uninstalled the program and still can't connect online via USB. Any leads? I was able to connect only just before installing the program.

I can't reproduce your problem. My device networks fine via USB after using the webcam software.
I have activesync installed, but don't have it set up with a partnership for my device (using oggsync instead). Does your activesync sync with your device?
Anything unusual in your network connections settings?
Have you tried a system restore to an earlier point?
HTH.
i had purchased the software and e mailed the company for unlock code.
Given my device id to them but the cab doesnt work.
i had changed my rom with black 2.0 and my radio is 1.4
any idea what could be wrong?

Do you mean that you changed the rom after emailing your device ID? If so, it could well be that your device ID has changed - have a look in your system info screen (as directed by ateksoft) to see if it matches what you sent them.
I had similar issue after changing roms - they sent me a new code.

The smaller the resolution that faster you will get... but by fast ... i mean 7 fps ... LOL
The framerate depends on the resolution and quality settings you are running at, if you turn the quality and resolution down you can get a good frame rate.
I run the resoultion at 640 x 480 and quality 70/E and the frame rate is fine.

In the own thread of the ROM post #2 you can find solution:
My clock stopped working / changed to wrong timezone? How can i fix this?
Go to Settings > Personal > Phone
Then go to the Timezone tab and uncheck "automatic change timezone"
I tried that but it still didnt work.

Hi there,
i had the same problem here, the clock stopped to update in TF3D. (The clock itself works fine.. ) A softreset did not helped, but 2x runs of "cleanRAM" solved the problem so far.
Another problem i noticed is, after running Klaxxon sometimes the whole phone will loose 95% of its cpu-performance. Softreset will fix this.
Next problem belongs to the camera. Sometimes camera go into a "save-loop" when pictures got saved to internal flash (not 4GB device)
So long, Christian
Guys, Gen.Y D2 R2-Rev.Y has its own thread... there´s no reason creating something else just to solve your problems...
So, the clock problems have been reported there several times, and you may find that one of those is the issue:
- usage with some alarm utility (such as pocketalarm, klaxxon, etc)
- usage with S2u2: I don´t have this problem myself but it´s been reported, so, try to avoid it
- bad flash: read the MTTY thread and try to flash your device again, using that process.
If the problem persists... well, you´re free to get back to whichever ROM you find more suitable, since it´s been reported as well in the thread that some devices will keep - still - freezing the clock.
Good luck. And I guess, moderator, you can close this thread.

Hi,
You go in "Settings"==>"Today" disable TF3D click ok, and then RE-Enable TF3D...
This is a bug Manila 2.1
I had the same problem but now its solved.
Go to all settings -> system ->Clock and Alarms.
Change the timezone to any other time zone.
Then, go back to the home screen clock. click on it.
From World Clock remove the original clock.
Go back to clock and alarms-
Now put the your timezone.
I think for some users, it does work properly for city timezone'
i had the same problem, disabling and re-enabling TF3D2 is indeed a solution. The problem is caused by the service autotimeupdate.exe.
I removed the startup key in the registry, and now the clock works perfectly without disabling TF3D2 or other modifications!

SOLUTION
I had been petrified with the clock hanging issue for a long time, but these simple steps seemed to have solved my prob,
1. Diable TF3D from Today.
2. Restart would be preferable.
3. Diable automatic time zone change in settings>phone
4. Again a restart would be preferred.
5. Adjust time in settings>clock if required.
6. Start TF3D from today.
Try it out, works well for me

I used to have the same problem with pocketshield installed, it was because I have a pin set for my sim when the phone starts up, and if pocketshield started to load before touch flo it caused the clock locking up problems, so as soon as the pin screen comes up insert pin quick and press enter then all is fine, or remove the sim pin.

[i780] Cannot use touchpad for camera - SOLVED

Hi friends,
I recently installed Magikb Lite and chgfingermouse on my i780. Since then, I cannot use any harware keys with the camera. Previously I was able to zoom or take picture using the touchpad, but now only the touchscreen works.No hardware buttons work. To close the camera I need to put the phone on standby (single press on power button) and switch it on again. Then the camera closes. I uninstalled both softwares but still not work.
Is my problem linked with both softwares or it's something else? Do I need to remap the hardware keys?
Help needed guys!
Easiest way to fix this - is to backup all data and make a HARD-RESET.
As per ironeagle instructions:
(Remove Battery|Put back Battery|Press Green Phone button + Red Phone button, Then press Power button| U see Menu | Press space bar to hard reset)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thnx for your reply .
It is an easiest and drastic way to solve the issue...BUT.....
I configured so many applications on my i780 (tomtom, today, etc) that I don't really want to hard reset and loose all my settings. That's why I am desperately looking for an alternate solution.
Then You will need to go through registry and look for values what might be changed by Magikb Lite / Chgfingermouse.
Thnx a lot Spiaatie. Will try this
Oh my God. It's working!!!!!
I installed hookmanager from magikb website (http://www.mobiion.com/downloads.html#hookmgr). Now everything's working fine.
Special thanks to Hong Jia from http://www.mobinauts.com who gave me the hint.

Problem with TP2 camera

I recently upgraded to a Touch Pro 2 from a Mogul, massive improvement (other than the lack of hardware keys). So I was a little worried when first using the camera, but the interface quickly grew on me. After installing everything I had on the Mogul, and a few other things that weren't previously supported, I went to snap a quick picture. But for some reason I now have to press and HOLD the shutter button for about 2 or 3 seconds while it auto-focuses then finally takes the picture. For the last week or two (since I've had the phone) I just tapped the button and it focused and took the picture, and was a lot quicker.
I've gone through all of the new cabs I've installed and looked for changes to the camera's registry settings, but found nothing (other than the enabling of the extra modes).
I've also tried changing the Key Delay settings in Advanced Config. Normally I find solutions to any problems I encounter by searching the xda forums, but this time all I'm coming up with is TP2 camera reviews, and stuff about the TP Shoot Options (which are related to the TP's hw button, I'm guessing?).
It's not a huge problem, I mean everything still works as it should. It's just kind of annoying having to hold the button and wait. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, pressing the Enter key on the hardware keyboard still has the desired effect. It's just something with the on screen shutter button.

I too have encountered this problem and can't figure out what is causing it. Also, I have noticed that for my video recording, it is stuck on the lowest resolution of S (128x96) in mpeg4 mode. When I first got the phone, I recall setting it to best resolution, forgot which one that was, but I can't even tap on the resolution to change it from small, just makes error clicks. Does anyone know what's wrong or how to fix this? (Short of a hard reset of course)
I am guessing you guys are using stock roms? I would highly suggest flashing a custom rom, they are in my experience 100x better than stock roms. If you dont want to go that route, you can search the forums for the Advanced Configurations tool, download it and install. It has options for your camera settings, among many other very useful settings. I believe the camera has a delay by default, which can be disabled in the Advanced config menu. I have also found that disabling the shutter sound and setting the flicker adjustment to 50 hz seems to give better/faster camera performance. Also check in TP2/Tilt2 Genereal Discussion / Cabs, Tips, and Tweaks thread, you can enable more camera modes and video modes by doing some pretty easy registry tweaks
Yeah I've had custom roms on all of my previous phones, but I've had no problems with the stock one so far (contrary to the previous ones, which is why I flashed). As per my original post, the settings in Advanced Config do not relate to the problem I (and apparently others) am experiencing. I would say this is the problem that would make me flash a custom rom, but the problem didn't start until a few weeks after using the phone. I totally agree with you on the flicker and sound settings though.
The problem isn't really a "delay", its a matter of 'Press' vs 'Press & Hold'. It really isn't a problem though. In fact, it actually keeps me from accidentally taking pictures. One thing I did do though is set my Back key to Enter (which still works right). So now I have a hardware shutter button.

radioman, what ROM are you using? Once you have the options switched on in BsB tweaks, the additional resolutions should become selectable in the options menu in the vid camera (under the "advanced" button).
sirphunkee im using the factory original att rom, i turn on the bsb tweaks video options, go to the video camara, click advance and the resolution tap is not working, can not select nothing, its gray out, make a sound everytime i touch it

Understood, thank you. Are you able to click/select the "Capture Format" options in that same list in "Advanced" vid settings....or is it greyed out/locked as well?
EDIT: I just saw your post in the other thread, I'll throw BsB back on my phone in a few and then list the exact steps/options I used.
Ok radioman, here's what I did...
In BsB tweaks, I switched on all the following options:
-Hidden Camera Modes (probably only affects the still camera, but it's one of the ones I turned on when the extra video options appeared, so you might want to try it anyway)
-Video Formats
-Camera Superfine
-Video BitRate
Once I switched those all on, I just went into the video camera settings, clicked the "advanced" button, and then I could click on and change both the "capture format" and "resolution" selections. I believe that the 640x480 resolution is only available in the MPEG4, Motion JPEG, and 3GPP2 formats.
I tried this with BsB was only able to get 640x480 in 3GPP2 on my tilt 2.
ok,sirphunkee thanks for your time, but the first time i instaled bsb tweaks i did everything like you said but nothing, i can change and choose all the capture formats, H.264, H.263, 3GPP3, MPEG4 and Motion JPEG, but i can't change the resolution in any format, the only option is S (128 x 96), i am kind of desperate!

It has no Live Wallpaper support because it's still alpha release.
And this feature has lower priority than other stuff that have to be fixed.

It won't have live wallpaper anytime soon. They are not worth fixing because they drain battery crazy fast and are darn slow on our devices. I think they were disabled on purpose in FroYo.
hi, can you tell us, what is working and what no in this build?
I refer about the bluetooth, camera, wifi...
Thanks

Hi, dedalum!
On Blackstone BT does not work, wifi and data works, camera.... I'll test it! (I think it wont work) --Tested, but the news are bad!
The old kernels does not work with Gingerbread, so camera does not work, yet!
I tried two different kernels, for the camera testing and for the anti-audio stuttering MOD, in the both cases it cant reach the homescreen.
As nasko_spasko mentioned, camera seems out of reach for the moment...
I also asked in VirusCrazy's camera testing thread, and he also gives Gingerbread "low chance", something for the future...
But I should add that there is (probably more than one) kernel out here that fixes audio stuttering, I'm using Gingerbread with a modified 1253 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11169582&postcount=76
Audio and Wifi great, battery life ~ 20-30 hours (using periodic data for ClockSynch and some weather sync, but nothing else)
Cheers,
Robbert

The audio is the most important issue for me.
I have GBX0A running with 1255 kernel. It's the only one that doesn't give me audio-stuttering since Gingerbread won't boot with the 1498 kernel.
The latest kernels 1260/1262 both work but give audio-stutter.
Only thing i'd like is a new rootfs with keymapping for Blackstone like in the rootfs from 2011-01-31.
very nice build. i have one question though... why is the clock lazy?
it is like the android minute is a second short. is there a fix for this?

Do as d.weiss says. Clocksync works perfectly.

Am i the only one having trouble with the keyboard not showing up properly? it's only about 20px high and it's impossible to see there are different keys but if you drag your finger around the popup with the different characters show up so it works but seem to be scaled incorrectly...
I tried long pressing on a text field to switch keyboard and the chineese keyboard works just fine but that doesn't really help me...

Keyboard is a known issue.
Recommendation: get Thumb keyboard from Market. It's free and has different layouts and looks.
Fix for alignment squares: use old ts-calibration file from another build, or use the one attached below. Just remove the extension and put it in the same folder as haret and startup.

How exactly am i supposed to get on the market in the first place when i can't write my email? I've put the apk onto the sd card but there's not even a file manager included so that's not possible either :<

Use build in Japan IME. It has Latin characters on the numeric keyboard (like in non touchscreen phones). Should be enough to log into market and download gingerbread keyboard.

Or just put the apk inside the AndroidApps folder (it's inside the andboot one). It will auto-install at boot.
I like the app "Gingerbread keyboard" though. I use it in froyo too.
