b. Turbo3D by Chainfire

Support Developer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5054894

HOW TO INSTALL:

1. Flash

2. Upon successful start up, there are 2 dll's that will ask permission to launch, tap yes (they are from ArkSwitch)

3. I suggest waiting for Sense to start completely, slide the slider left and right and check all tabs

What to do after installing

1. HTC Album is cooked in and it replaces the way media files are open.Unfortunately HTC Album is slow in opening some formats (like .png). To edit this use Resco Explorer (included) and set the preferred app to open your media file in default.

2. (Optional) Install Opera 9.7 (device only)

3. (Optional) I suggest installing phone canvas (see below)

TIPS TO IMPROVE SENSE PERFORMANCE:

1. In Turbo3D, set frametime to 19 or up

2. As usual, disable Weather Animation

3. Overclock to 900Mhz (stable)

4. The 1Ghz tweak (see below)

5. Perfomance Tweaks in Advanced Config Tool (note that don't configure file system cache size and file system cache too high, for some reasons, it will delay phone wake up)

HOW TO'S

HOW TO ENABLE MISSING TABS IN SENSE

For some reasons, no matter how I edit the 2693384_manila file to set all tabs to appear in Sense, two or more tabs disappear and can't be enabled. Luckily there is a workaround for this:

1. Disable Sense in Today

2. Go to Programs Menu and tap FixStartManila

3. Tap FixStartManila again and you will see the wait icon, wait for the menu to "shift"

4. Then go to Today and set Sense

5. When Sense succesfully launch, check if the missing tabs are present

6. If some tabs are still missing, go to Sense Settings tab and enable the missing tab\s

7. Don't power off of soft reset device in about 5-10mins. so that Tabs will remain after a reboot

HOW TO ENABLE MY LOCATION WEATHER

Go to Weather Tab, tap Menu and choose Enable My Location

HOW TO ENABLE 24HOUR FORMAT

Tap Home Clock, Menu, 24HOUR FORMAT

HOW TO FIX INVISIBLE FONTS

Change Theme.

HOW TO FIX INTERNET TAB (OperaL.exe missing)

There are two ways.

1. Install a working Opera 9.5 to 9.7 version on device

2. Make IE your default browser

HOW TO OPEN MEDIA FILES

There two solutions:

1. You need Updated Samsung Touch Player, download here http://www.modaco.com/index.php?sho...t&p=1435215

Because this is in megalite, Samsung apps are removed, including this player that is good in playing different formats. Just install it back or install other capable players like TCPMP, CorePlayer, Pocket Player, Smart Movie etc.

2. The default app that opens media files

1. HTC Album is cooked in and it replaces the way media files are open.Unfortunately HTC Album is slow in opening some formats (like .png). To edit this use Resco Explorer (included) and set the preferred app to open your media file in default.

If HTC Album messes up the way that media files are open, you can do this:

1. Install your preferred media player or for example you want WMP open *.avi files

2. Open Resco Explorer, look for the *.avi file, tap and hold, tap open, select "open with"

3. Select the preferred app that you want to use every time a *.avi file is open (for example choose WMPlayer). Then tap "Always use this program to open this file type". The tap Done

By doing this, every time you open a *.avi, it will be opened by your preferred player.

You can do this to other files as well

HOW TO SET TOUCHRESPONSE

To enable vibration feedback on EZ Input keyboard, Go to Settings/System/TouchResponse . Set Device ID to 11 and manage other settings to your liking.

HOW TO MAKE OZIM TO WORK

Open OZIM, select your preffered messenger, Tap settings. In MSISDN, type your phone number in International format ex: +639000000000

HOW TO INSTALL HTC PHONE CANVAS

Why install HTC Phone Canvas? Some Sense features does not work if HTC Canvas is not installed. Why not cooking it in the ROM? It gives weird issues when cooked. To install it:

1. Install dummy.cab to device (it is found in Sense.rar)

2. After Installing it will ask for reset. Tap ok

3. When device successfully start, open FDC Task Manager and close "cprog.exe"

4. Install Phone Canvas 2.cab...It will ask for a reset tap ok.

The downside is it will completely disable the WM 6.5.x lockscreen. DON'T INSTALL Included Cloudy Lockscreen.. For the meantime use S2U2 or GA Lock

Update: It seems my HTC Messaging 1.8 cab is conflicting with Cloudy lockscreen not the phone canvas. You can install both Phone canvas and Cloudy Lockscreen on device B)

HOW TO DO THE "1GHZ TWEAK"

At this setup you will havea blazing fast Sense,(see Sense video 7-10-10) though be informed of the cons below.

This is what me and the testers talking about when we mention "the Tweak"

- Set Performance to Normal (not High,Low or Auto)

- Run Easy Set S3Clock (if you don't know how to use S3Clock read here:http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/311584/easy-set-s3clock/) and set speed to 1Ghz (1Ghz?!?!...yup...actually you can set it 'til 1158Mhz)

Some of you might say "I thought S3Clock will only work when performance is set to Auto or High?" and "It will freeze device when set to 950Mhz to 1Ghz"...

So what is in this ROM, that will let you go up to 1Ghz speed?

Hmmm, maybe there's something special in this ROM

Pros: The fastest sense you can imagine, it isn't that battery consuming...

Cons:

I call Level 3 set up as the "Fake OC" .Strangely, not all apps will recognize (and run) at the 1Ghz speed. For example, even though Sense will be fast, benchmarking tools, like the one in SK Tools, will just measure a speed as of only about 600Mhz. Yup weird.

Some apps, like Samsung Camera, will crash and if you connect device to anything that will make battery charge (like obviously, the charger or connecting it to your PC) and try to turn off device by using the power button (long press end key) the device will freeze.

Verdict: Unless you charge it, turn it off and launch the camera while you are in this setup, it is Stable. A work around will be instead of using 1Ghz+, you can choose 900Mhz to 950Mhz (most apps, including the camera, will still work and not crash at these speeds).

Bugs You Must Know...

- Sometimes HTC Notification Manager not working, then suddenly it will work. Must be conflict with 6.5.3 taskbar manager

-nDon't tap and hold quick links in home tab, it will freeze Sense/device, if you know a possible solution, please share it here :lol:

Cool - when do you expect to have uploaded... like a kid waiting in a candy store here.... :)

[Guest sakisds]

How about the ring delay? It will be gone like your latest roms?

[Guest daskalos]

How about the ring delay? It will be gone like your latest roms?

There's no ring delay if you will install the samsung phonepad...

With the phone canvas, there's a slight delay (2 seconds delay), but not like before where it takes about 4 rings for the device to respond

So no phone canvas. No big deal.
