Skyfire For Htc Touch Hd

Hello,
I just wanted to know if skyfire will work on the htc touch hd. Has anyone managed to get it working on their Touch HD. I installed it but get the usual windows error message, i.e it doesn't work on mine. Does it work on yours?
If you do manage to get it working, can you please check if bbc iplayer works on it fully with sound. i read somewhere on this forum that they got it working on their Mobile device but bbc iplayers sound did not work. this will be the best browser to go on bbc iplayer and watch other videos.
Please someone reply.
p.s I got so happy that this will work on the HD, but it doesn't. apparently there isn't a skin that supports the HD's screen. here's the website: http://get.skyfire.com/

Windows Mobile phones: Skyfire runs on Microsoft Windows 5, 6, and 6.1. We support VGA and QVGA screen resolutions. Skyfire runs on many popular Windows Mobile phones including the HTC Tilt, HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Fuze, Motorola Q and Q9, Palm Pro, Palm 800W and Samsung Blackjack II. To check if your phone is compatible with our OS and resolution requirements, please refer to the Microsoft website.
Skyfire will not run on Windows Mobile PDAs. Skyfire runs on phones only.
Skyfire will not run on WVGA Windows Mobile phones.
Skyfire will run on Wi-Fi, however a data plan is recommended.

We must wait a fixed version ;-)

huh, when did they add vga compatibility?? I checked over a month ago and it ran like crap on my Diamond... now I sold the Diamond and got the HD, effectively pushing my self back in the waiting line

Use W VGA Fix 2
->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442426

i've tried too but resolution of the the hd is bigger ...skyf for smaller rezs...

Current releases are not working with the HD... we have to wait, just that!
p.s: anyway this browser looks promising so much!

Many thanks! Works with W VGA FIX 2...
Although to switch back to regular resolution I found you have to use task manager to close the app and restart.

Doesn't work for me.
How did you get SkyFire to work on HD. Ive installed fix2 and the certificate that came with it. When I try to run SkyFire i just get..
'Skyfire only supports screen size widths/heights of 240,320,480 or 640.
Desperate to get iplayer, if not this solution then the other 'new' thread looks hopeful
Thanks you guys, I'm out of my depth but following your lead!

ashleyp,
install wvga fix 2 cab. That puts a new program in your program list. Find the program called VModeSwitch, run it and change screen res to 640x480. Then run skyfire.

Works many thanks
Now need to try iplayer when at home on my wifi network.

Confirmed that this works 100% perfectly using VModeSwitch.
However, VModeSwitch rotates the screen, you may not want this. I use AEButtonPlus and assigned a long press key to rotate the screen clockwise, in which case VModeSwitch becomes responsive again and I do not have to kill it in the task manager.
The problem is VModeSwitch does nothing until you switch out of it. If you don't want to use AEButton, simply press the home hardkey on your HD after switching resolution, because then the screen goes back to Manila which instantly forces the screen back into portrait mode (but still VGA res). After this, VModeSwitch will work again when you get it from the tasks window and your screen is portrait VGA after which skyfire works 100% perfect.

VGA resolution?
Does the latest Skyfire (with VGA support) actually run at full 640x480 resolution or is it just stretch the pixels for the HD, as though the HD were running at 320x240?

opera
tried it, i think i will just stick with Opera until they fix the vga problem.

Very wise.
I cant understand why people go to such trouble to get a browser to work.

some of us need to monitor pages which display info using fash, I think Skyfire is the only option, right?

Never heard of Flash Lite? Works with Opera and IMO Opera is the best browsing solution anyway. On the other hand Netfront 3.5 Concept works like a charm on the HD for pages that don't display correctly with Opera. Give it a shot, it's free

Okay, I've installed the adobe version for my HD... tell me why we need this horrible looking SkyFire then? I've uninstalled it and the other bits and peices I needed to make it work.

What have you installed?
Adobe version of what?
Can you please explain?
Thanks

Sorry, I went looking for Flash Lite and found a thread with 2 versions, Flash Lite (didn't work for me) and an adobe version of flash lite (I think) which worked. I can now see the flash content on my fantasy football page
I thought SkyFire was a horrible looking browser and just wondered why everyone wants it if Opera can show flash content?

G sensor app and games

Could we make a list of all apps and games who're using integrated g sensor? Like teeter?

For apps Check this
=> http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1320
Games (not only with sensor)
=> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software_Games
Enjoy

Does anyone know of any applications that use the G-Sensor that are working on the HTC Touch HD?
(except screen rotation thingis)
I would love to have something like this "Seismo" app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426591) but unfortunately it doesn't work on the HD.

Application: gMeter.
Game: Marble Worlds 2.

Thanks for the answer!
What did you do to get gMeter work? Or does only the newer, non-free version 2 work?

A few accelerometer games here.

Thank you very much for this topic i would like to know too

Resco Bubbles is also a nice G-sensor based game... (Touch HD compatible - WVGA)

pocket fallout is only qvga!

sadly, there are only a few games that work at full wvga resolution....I've seen one RPG which is called onris(just forgot the name), it seems quite a nice game, but the resolution is only for vga i guess, and most rpg games running at Java platform are also unsuitable for touch hd...is there any tool that can resize java game's resolution?

I've also installed morphgear which is an emulator for NES, gb, gba..etc., but the fps of gba's rpg games that running at morphgear is quite low, especially, when you turn the sound on, you will find the quality is extremely poor..

Thanks for telling me that, I've already got it, and it works for me but as this tool resize the resolution, half of my screen is blank while gaming, that's looks a little bit wierd to me

lynne can you give me a link to this RPG game (onris or something you was saying as you forgot the name lol)..
Also this morphgear Emulator ... does this work with the g-sensor then? or you need the D-Pad program thing

sure, the rpg that I mentioned is: Orions: Legend of Wizards v1.20
you can have it from here: http://pocketmoregames.com/orions.htm
but this is not freeware so u gotta either try it or buy it for full version gaming play
btw, before u try this game, u'd better have wvga fix pre-installed, cos u need change your resolution to vga through it, otherwise u will encounter display problem
on the other hand, regarding to the emulator - Morphgear
it's has modules below:
1, SNES9x MorphModule
Emulates the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
2, HuGo MorphModule
Emulates the TurboGrafx-16 / PC-Engine.
3, Generator MorphModule
Emulates the SEGA Genesis.
4, Marat Fayzullin MorphModule Package:
Includes MasterGear, VGB, VGBA, iNES (SEGA MasterSystem, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, NES).
you can find it here:
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
installation order:
1, morphgear
2, rest of its modules
and also, you need pay for it in order to unlock those modules after the application is installed. (you don't have to install third party application to run game at morphgear)
and this tool allows you to change screen size of your game and many other useful options, but as i said, it's kinda low fps especially when you turned sounds on (gba rpg game - final fantasy 6 tested)
if you ask me how to get most from it, there are many 'suggestions' around the net, that's the only thing that i can say haha

hey, maybe u can try wvga fix, and set the resolution to vga and see if there is any difference?

yeah i tried it and actually works when vga is set, however, you need the stylus to play and besides the very poor english text there are some textured texts in russian no go for me at the moment.
it WORKS anyway.

actually, there are bunches of good RPG games out there if Morphgear is working fine for me, but since the low fps that I've encounterred, I finally gave it up...but I'm just wondering if there is anyone else got the same problem?

In order to watch movies and videos you must use mp4 files and run them with default WMP, use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478050 when necessary to convert them.
I assure you TT7 works, also iGO8 (better one in my opinion), just google to go on.
Rgds,

Hi.
Igo and Tomtom do work on HTC Blackstone, for sure, I have tried it but prefer honestly Mobile Navigator.

Any cool games working for the HTC HD mini?

Hi!
Have used the htc hd mini for a week now, and I must say I realy like it!
But with the HVGA screen I havent found any cool games that will run on it
Have tried MorphGear (snes emulator) but it won`t work. Have also tried pocket ufo, experiment 13 and many other games with the same result
Any of you know of any games that will run on this device?
Thanks!

HTC Mini rocks
Hi.
I love it too. It's brilliant - small and powerful.
I tried "Vegas Pool" from Market Place.
The other thing that i haven't figured out is how I can switch the keyboard on when needed.
For instance, when i need to enter some text in flash/flex apps, or in games.

Morphgear is working fine for me, but it does not support multitouch, so that the old jump and runs are unplayble...
Other games which should work: Tiki Towers, Iwi the Kiwi and maybe zuma.

===>km
What version of Morphgear are you using? And what settings are you using?
The version I tried did start, but the picture was way out of the screen and it didnt play in landscape.
