New graphics driver patch from xda-devs speeds up TG01!

I thought I should let you all know that I have tried a patch for the graphics driver designed for the HTC HD2 and it seems to work on my TG01.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592663

After installing the cab, I was able to enable the hardware acceleration for SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which gives the carousel a lovely reflection.

HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/Gl

There is a key called GlEnabled and you should change the value from 0 to 1.

Before I installed this cab, I could enable it, but it would be really slow and would not work properly. I have no issues now.

Furthermore, I seem to have more program memory available.

Let me know if this works for you. I have WM6.5. I would strongly recommend doing a full backup before installing the cab.

WOW! It works great, thanks for the heads up. Spent the last 10 minutes flicking my carousel in all different directions, it's so smooth now.

I really hope that TG01 users will benefit with the future development of software at xda developers for the HD2, this is a good start anyway.

Didn´t work on mine :D . After modifying the register Key

HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/Gl

carousel does a lot of lovely effects (but a bit slow). When installed the cab, Carousel button doesn´t work. I'm still on WM6.1, what about you?

Hello modaco hello guys. :D

Works great on my orange 6,5 TG01. Everething is working faster now (feeling). I am wondering is the G-sensor feauture in carouzel works to anyone. I enable it and it is not working. Maybe i have to do something extra ?

in games for tg01 topic regarding g-sensor

On the Iphone there are racing games that require you to tilt the screen from right to left to turn ect.. Are there any games for the TG01 like this?

Short answer is No.

Slightly longer answer, No because the TG01 has a specific type of g sensor that most game don't yet support, if they ever will.

maybe why carosel is not working with g-sensor

The plug in seems to work really well, i don't use mobile shell but it works a treat in androkkid. When i test before installation the menus were very laggy, now it is smooth and flowing.

I've just installed WM6.5 and the first think that I've done has been testing this cab. Amazing!!!

Thank you!! Up to now, the only effect is the SPB carrousel, (useless but perfect to show to friends and ask them about...) I wonder which other apps can be improved with this graphic driver! Any idea?

DId you really update to 3.5? WM6.5 comes with former SPB Shell 3

The address starts with HKEY_lOCAL_MACHINE, (HKLM is just an abbreviation)). The rest of the address is the same.

P.S. I now know what people mean when they mention the improvement to the carousel :)

Odd - I have the latest Version of WM6.5 and SPB Mobile shell - the GI setting is already enabled and the Carousel effect worked perfectly when I installed SPB Mobile shell. I haven't had to mess with the Registry.

Is this with or without the Graphics Driver Patch installed on your TG01 ?

With the latest 6.5 Rom 3D Graphics works with MS 3.5.3 without any aditional drivers. Great look and feel!
