The D3D video drivers from the Samsung Omnia appear to work on the Titan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416474
They look to be SOFTWARE optimized drivers for the XSCALE platform, not the holy grail drivers with hardware support.
After installing on my Titan (running DCD 3.2.5), the Direct3DDemo, and the Lights.exe D3D test applications run much, much faster.
I swear TomTom 7 is also smoother, but this could be my wishing effect.
It's un-installable if you have issues, though I have not had any so far.
More info on using these on the Titan can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=34636
wow this driver works wonderfuly, at least with the test apps. wish i had a before/after video to show everyone. will have to try some other applications to see how they run
even though its only a software driver it is most definatly a step in the right direction

uploading to youtube in about 15min
so what's some apps I can test with to see the performance gain?
What does this app/software actually do,sorry i'm new here.
makes 3D run better
and use any apps that are 3D to test DOOM QUAKE WOLFINSTIN all run faster.
Some testing tools you can try out....

Before test was slow. After install... they moved fast. Guess that means it works...

Just Tried Garmin XT
I just installed the Omnia Optimized Video Drivers (who here is going to be able to resist!) and opened garmin XT. Seems to be a much faster map draw speed. I did open it just after a reset but wow! The topo map at high detail setting appeared in an instant! It always had a delay of a few seconds before. Great post! Now to go for a drive to see if the map scrolls smoother!
I should have timed it before I installed the drivers but it can't be in my head... if it is, i want to roll these drivers and smoke em!
DCD 3.2.5 with 3.42.3
Where would i find Doom or Quake to test that?
This Doom Link worked for me with good speed too:

How much memory must we sacrifice to use this?
Is it significant?

I assume if you update ROMs you would need to re-install? Or if I didn't like it I could get rid of it by reflashing?

It is only one file and it can be un-installed to revert back to the previous drivers....
Nice, THANKS
but is this an actual D3D driver that works with the MM7500 or is it just moving graphic proccessing to the CPU instead?
what about the DirectDraw drivers from this phone? do they speedup 2D graphics on the Titan?

Is there a way to shoot in this version of Doom other than tapping on the screen? I have to press and hold there for about 2 seconds before it actually starts shooting which is pretty annoying...

Heh, the performance of these tools is actually so bad its funny before installing the D3D driver cab.
I decided to see if the drivers were the placebo effect, so I uninstalled the omnia driver, and rebooted my phone.
The D3D tests re horridly slow.
DoomCe was still the same speed though

Theres a thread in the Vouge forum with a bunch of guys who have it running, and this guy has it running on his Dual.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bed6KIxZ6zI
Im having trouble to get it running however.
I see it being a long time before Android becomes as good as windows mobile but I believe it has the potential to be a lot better, should be good if we can get it running on our HTC devices in the future.

hmmm...for some reason the android in the video looks nothing like the android that google introudced on the official android page.
I have had this running on my nike, works fine, but only boots with a connection to WMDC.
If you try to run any program, it freezes.
A good start though!
Android is going to be released on a HTC phone so the clever guys on this forum should be able to port it to our phones looks well good though maybe could be competing with iphone!
like I said, I reckon it will be a long while before its going to be of any good - as it gets developed over time and applications are created and able to run like tomtom etc....
but it looks very good and very promising.

Hello ,
I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?
Anybody does have the same problem?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.
i just bought an athena and tried a lot of different firmwares but they are almost all buggy so i installed the no loop version spl 3.5 so its simple and very fast, but then no apps are available, so i wanted for everyone of u to post links to apps like messenger, tcpmp, and MUST HAVE apps on this thread cause i havent seen a post just of APPS. Im sure everyone will appreciate it including me .
I sure would appreciate this too. What version did you install that is not buggy ?

The best thing about having a PPC is that, whatever you want to do, there is probably a freeware program out there to get it done. So to make a list of all the "useful" programs out there would be quite difficult. Everyone's definition of what is "useful" is different. Rather, I would advise starting with what you want your PPC to do, and search for the right program from there.
yea well im testing all of em, michys is very nice but i cant close rltoday app so its annoying. >.<

i have been tryin to read everything i can to understand these phones..... this is my first PPC and i have had it about a month. i just figured out the compact framework to 3.5 to get other apps. so please dont flame
on to my question.... i just downloaded the pandora cab from the software thread and everyone is sayin its not a VGA version.....not to sure on that. when i opened the app everything is super small and the pictures are all out of place. am i doin everything right here???
sprint touch pro
A couple things...
The radio version of your phone (GSM vs CDMA) has nothing to do with the Pandora ap.
Secondly, what everyone is telling you about it not being VGA is correct. That's why the pictures are small and screwy.
That is as good as it gets until they decide to fix it... at least it still works.
thanks for your help.....so can i use apps from just the CDMA thread or i can go to Raphael software and use those too???
It depends on what the application does.
Think of it this way...
Your phone is like a Dell Computer running XP.
Any program designed to run on XP will work, but if the program is strictly for Dell Computers, it will only work if you have a Dell.
CDMA or GSM is like the Dell Computer part of it.
Any application that is designed to run on a PPC/WinMobile will work on your phone.
But if the application is designed for a specific brand... like unlocking the GPS feature on a VZW Touch Pro, or a custom ROM for the ATT Fuze, you don't even think about running it unless you've got that exact model or you're willing to brick your phone.
Hope that helps.

I love that little fun game ,can the game run on wm?anyway to make pc version possible work on wm?
Sure. Just run an Android port with graphics acceleration on your WM device. Definitely won't run natively on WM as it is written to iOS and Android APIs rather than WM.
Alternatively you can search for a game called 'Huff and Puff'. It's the closest thing to angry birds on wm right now.

It seems that has a name called "angry wolf" game is very similar and "anger bird", but very few machines support WM multi-touch, operating a bit inconvenient ~ but you can simulate a machine in the WM Android,and the format can play the "angry bird” of APK to~
我勒个去~原来你是天朝人吖~天朝V5~~
我的意思是有个叫愤怒的老狼的游戏跟那吖的愤怒的小鸟很相似，不过可以在WM手机上模拟的Android上运行那个APK格式的愤怒的小鸟~

No it means you run android on your phone.
Ok, but the only Android for the Omnia is ANDROMNIA......can i run Android apps from the marketplace on it? Its not a real rom (Haret) and Android 1.5 Cupcake.
The pyshics engine they use to make the game is incredible. I dont see any tools that could make that type of game for windows mobile. Also someone can do a similar game for free , but then people will say ohh its not the original its missing features. So thats real reason there hasnt been one made for windows mobile.
