Premature ramblings about WP7

So, yesterday was Microsoft's press conference about Windows Phone 7 Series. I'm sure we all saw it and many have written up their responses to it. I thought to let it sink it in for a day before writing about it, and that day has now passed. There a ...

Here are some options that can be configured in \windows\yamato_panel.txt . This file may not exist on your device, but it will be used if you create it manually.

About: TP2 1% Increment Battery Driver

I promised in one of the threads here that I would look into our (EU !) Rhodiums only reporting battery in 10% increments. As I received my Rhodiums today I did look into this. However, I didn't figure it out. I did see the structure of the battery d ...

About: Taskbar Customizer

Taskbar Customizer is an effort to give you a proper good-looking many colored taskbar in WM, that your friend will drool over. At the time of writing it is in design stage.

CFC updated to 0.55

CFC and CFC GUI have been updated to version 0.55 and 0.55.25 respectively.

Higher ratio on CFC compression

Seems I overlooked something when building the CFC compressor. After revisiting it in my head today over my morning coffee and ciggarette, a very obvious optimization struck me.

WMLongLife for CDMA

Thanks to some heavy use of IDA, and hack-testing by Dan-<device>, Conflipper and AstainHellbring, it seems we have figured out 2G/3G band switching for MSM7K CDMA (MSM75xx). In this case, 2G is 1xRTT only, 3G is Hybrid, and 3G 'Force' is EV-DO ...

XDA-Developers member wg5566 posted some bad news over in this thread.

GfxBoost extra background info

I just wanted to explain some stuff some of you may and/or may not be aware of. Please consider that I am not a Qualcomm engineer and how I see things are probably not always 100% correct, and my own research on these things is still in progress / ev ...

About: GfxBoost

For HTC-built MSM7K-based devices only! All MSM7K are technically capable, but only HTC's may have the correct drivers. Will probably not work on stock ROMs. I suspect the CDMA versions of the older MSM7K devices - pre-diamond - do not have the neces ...

About: TF3Dv2 [xboxmod]

I'm lightly involved in xboxmod's TF3Dv2 port. My contributions have mainly been patches to background images/rendering, aside from the obvious of CFC compression being used.

About: DriverWiz

From the thread on XDA-Developers:

About: WMLongLife

NOTICE: This software is only for the GSM variants of these devices: MSM7xxx based devices, Samsung i900 Omnia, Samsung i780 !!

About: CFC

While originally porting TF3D to QVGA - as partner to the Kaiser D3D/OpenGL Drivers project - I had to make some heavy modifications to the OpenGL interface TF3D used. I also needed to convert the VGA imagery to QVGA.

About: TF3D-QVGA

The original show-off app for the Kaiser D3D/OpenGL Drivers project. Heavy porting and hacking was involved to create this, and many Kaiser ROMs include it these days. Created in co-operation with the HTC Class Action website.

About: WMRegOptimizer

WMRegOptimizer is a small tool that tries to optimize registry access - "defrag" it, if you will. It doesn't perfectly defrag it, but it goes a long way. This results in somewhat faster registry access for applications where this is the bot ...

About: FireROM

FireROM was a prestege thing: the first custom ROM available for the GSM Touch Pro (Raphael). It was basically a stock ROM, cleaned up, tweaked, and adding a couple of very handy programs I personally like to use.

About: Kaiser D3D/OpenGL Drivers

We all know about the driver issues on HTC drivers. In co-operation with the HTC Class Action website and a few other hackers we ported D3D and OpenGL drivers to the HTC Kaiser (TyTN II).

About: ROMCompare

ROMCompare as a tool originally written to detect slight differences between ROMs. With having people test cutting edge things on their devices it is a handy tool for when problems occur and often makes tracking down the problem simple and fast.

About: ICS Install

Many carriers remove the ICS component needed by several Internet Sharing applications. It took some research, cooking and a lot of trial and error, but eventually I was able to create a CAB file that installs this component. Google will help you fin ...

About: WMWifiRouter

WMWifiRouter allows you to share your Windows Mobile phone's internet connection with other device over Wi-Fi. WMWifiRouter was the first application on any phone that could do this.
