[Question] VGA to QVGA for more speed - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Just a question, it is possible to develop a ROM that make Diamond work in QVGA mode? I know the diamond screen is natively a VGA (640x480) but if we could make diamond work in 320x240 resolution, there would be more memory and cpu available. A fair compromise IMO.
Is this possible?

what do you mean by by "if we could make diamond draw only half pixels"
running diamond with QVGA resolution???
if yes then look here

Sorry, my post was a bit confusing I mean running diamond in QVGA mode and use a QVGA Manila version.

The thread title asks a different question lol.

A I expected Sense 2.5 refuses to start in QVGA resolution using Virtual desktop. Anybody can tell me If there is someone who is actually developing a QVGA ROM for the diamond?
Thanks

i think this is a good idea, my brother has a qvga phone (HTC Polaris) with 54mb less ram and 128mhz slower processor speed but runs winmo 6.5.5 and touch flo really smoothely, but in someways i prefer the vga screen such as in opera and tomtom, it makes it much clearer

try to install manila 2d (which is QVGA) in it and see if it works

Wow, good idea. Try to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750

Thank you for the link.
Is there any way to force QVGA resolution in WM6.1 tweaking the registry?

good idea. a fourth of the graphics means more available RAM and faster processing, right?
any chef up for the challenge of making a QVGA ROM for the Diamond possibly with M2D v2?

No guinea-pig?

If some chef would consider this project, my Diamond is more than willing to be the first guinea pig!

I don't understand why anyone would want to do this. The Diamond's screen is already small enough as it is!

If you use a lower resolution Manila, you can only see a quarter of the screen, I think. CaptainThrowback have tested HVGA Sense and all was smaller. So not so usable

he means that if we make the phone draw 240 x 320 pixels on the screen rather than 480 x 640
ie running the phone at a virtual QVGA resolution
full screen will be occupied but phone will draw less pixels and hence some processor power and ram will be saved at the cost of screen clarity.

I don't think this is possible, and even if it were, it will still be using the same amount of processing power and it would be ugly and pixellated because the image will have to be stretched to occupy the entire screen.

instead i think that the display will be more pixelated but the ram and processor consumption will be lower...is possible there is a software that i saw in another thread like this

ATI W3200 video chipset doesn't support 640x480.
i just installed o2 active from the 1.40 rom for BA onto my wm5.0 BA
this should display if anything in the correct format, but it displays in vga,
i tried to install the o2 active cab from the xda exec rom, but i had vga issues with that, but from the xda2s rom, i wouldnt have thought id have the same issues.
anyone know why this happened????, cos i sure xda 2s with 1.40 rom isnt in vga. :?

What do you mean ? Your hardware doesn't

what i mean is, i installed the o2 active taken from the new o2 uk 1.40 rom. this rom is for xda 2s blue angel. this rom isnt for a vga device so should not display vga software.
i installed the o2 active from 1.40 o2 uk to my xda 2s running wm5.0 and it displayed as vga.
i know it does not support it , but when displayed the graphics were way too big to be displayed properly.
i not sure how to explain that any different, do you know what i mean??
i just done a screen shot of what it looks like on my screen............
The graphics display that way because they are larger - they are indented for a display that is higher resolution.
Looks like you have tricked the OS into thinking you are running a VGA display when obviously you are not.

Ok. I get it. Then you can claim running the

i know that, but my point is, they shouldnt, because this o2 active cab was from the o2-uk 1.40 rom, which isnt vga. so it should not display vga for a none vga device.
i tried this with the cab from the xda exec and expected this from that given that it was a vga rom/device.

Vga resolution Hack

Is there a way i could have a VGA resolution on my HTC PROPHET (as a tweak i mean) thanks.
no, to do this you need a vga screen, which the prophet doesnt have.
so there is no possibility?
iassael said:

no it requires vga hardware. prophet doesnt have this.
so can you change the dpi or something to see more things but smaller?
iassael said:

no, qvga (96dpi what you are using) is the smallest dpi. vga has a higher dpi (192) but it aslso has a 4x bigger resolution so they look the same. the only way of making it look smaller is if you have a vga device and you use the 96dpi (qvga) files.
if i try to change LogicalPixelsY and LogicalPixelsX to something like 72 will i destroy my device?
you are basicaly asking if it is possible to make one single pixel to act like four different. i think it is the easiest way to explain it... according to the best of my knowledge and logics, it is not possible.

Good luck begging vijay to release this one..
I'd release it if it was worth releasing, but VGA screens don't seem popular enough right now to justify continuing development on the app, and it just looks silly on QVGA.
I'll give it a while until VGA screens become more common and then see if I can finish it off.

Touchflo 3d for Blackstone?

Hi there,
can anyone give me a link of where to download Touchflo 3d for Touch HD??
I've recently found a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164 which compressed whole manila files to make the Touchflo 3d relatively smaller and faster to the original one, but this is for diamond only, I'm looking for something that suit for my touch hd, if anyone got what i'm looking for, please let know, many thanks!!
wrong post ?
dude, the Touch HD comes with Touchflo as standard, why on earth would you want to download it again ??
Also this is a the wrong part of the forum to post on !!, if you havent got it, then contact your phone provider

I believe lynne02191 is asking for a compressed/sleeker version of HD Manila (i.e., the images in Manila's qtc files are compressed) that runs more smoothly, etc. than the stock version, and this would be the right place to discuss this, IMHO.
I think with the inherent capabilities of the HD, as well as the wonderful cooked ROMs people are making, Manila runs very well, and there is plenty of extra memory on the HD with it running, so a compressed/sleeker version may not be a priority.
Just my opinion, but this might explain why no one is trying to do something similar to the thread you linked, which was done to make HD manila run smoothly on the Diamond. Then again, someone may already be doing this, I do not know.
You may want to look here ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798) and look into the compression process.

Hi sk806,
Thanks for reply!
I've already been searching for a while, and I didn't found any version that is manila compressed but several .cabs which claimed are ported from the original blackstone manila.
after that, I installed all of them, but the result disappointed me, since I've encounterred many problems from the procedures.
anyway, like what u said, there are plenty of nice ROMs around there which run HD manila very well, so I won't bothering meself from searching anymore

KWBR's ROM; 'a Touch of HD' uses Chainfire's CFC

i tried the "live patch" before flashing a full ROM but it didn't work on the HD, Chainfire is too busy at the moment to fix that up

That depends on the size of the level. Small levels like the first one don´t fill the screen but larger level do.

(sorry for my bad english)
Yeah, I would be very intersted too.
Does anyone know a way to make the screen bigger?
thx
OMFG diablo on HD -- thats greaT!!!!
try WVGAFIX and set your device screen resolution to VGA or smaller!!!
Possible to make it more usable on Touch HD like Heroes of Might and MagicII!?!?

did you see EyeOfBeholder2 ?

Have some one tested it ?

Testet it and changed the resolution too.
I can start the game, select a character but when I come to ingame screen, I can't see my character and it seems that the graphic is messed up.
Hoping for any development
for those who can't find their original diablo discs - just google the requested .dll

I have tried to make the changes on the TXT file in order to be able to run the game on the TOUCH HD. However I do think something was made wrong by me, as I can not start the game with the proper resolution -600*480-. So, if someone could attach the TXT file with the changes I would appreciate it very much.

Change you file with one enclosed! Have fun
if that's the case, why not change the setting in the config file directly to 800x480?
I change, but game still in 480*640, cause realised just for 240*320 and 480*640! So that!
