Direct3D Driver for Titan

[MrTek]

It appears progress has been made on the Kaiser (MSM7200) to have a D3D driver available.

What are the chances this will work on the Titan (MSM7500)?

Looks pretty good so far.

[ticalthepimp]

Hell to the yeah, I'm buying that dude a fruit basket. Keep up the good work whoever you are.

[auto3251]

i thought the msm7500 referred to the cpu, and not the graphic accelerator? or is it built onto the cpu

[gc14]

The msm7500 is the chipset. Everything is on the chip.

[ryanbg]

Besides the fact that one is GSM and the other CDMA, I would assume the architecture and hardware is almost identical. I think it should work but hey, I'm not an expert.

[auto3251]

what's the more advance chipset of the two? and what are the difference?

Im very interested in getting an OpenGL ES driver for my xv6800. Im no device driver expert but I am familiar with graphics programming using OpenGL and OpenGL ES. Im willing to help in whatever way I can if anyone is working on this for the Titan. I can write OpenGL ES test apps and can use my beloved xv6800 as a alpha/beta test platform, whatever... hell I will wash your car if I have to! :D

Don't bother trying to install the driver... it will lock up at the carrier screen.

now to figure out how to uninstall it...

[MrTek]

Rawr,

I had to hard reset, but I expected that :)

Thank god for auto installers :)

Yeah i figured i'd have to do that too... good thing i only cooked this setup the other day ;)

The problem that we're going to have is that the power user base for the Mogul and Touch combined is still less than that of the Kaiser, since the Kaiser isn't just the Tilt in the US but is sold in other countries as well.

I don't really think that no2chem wants to start another project right now, he's busy trying to get nueROM 2.2 out the door.

[MrTek]

Eth,

I agree..... CDMA phones are still in the minority on this board.

Ahh...When Verizon goes LTE I'll be a happy boy. Of course that will be 2012 - 2015.

By that time my phone will be holographic, 5TB of data storage, and a mind implant instead of a touch screen

But We'll still have to hack it just to do the things we want! :(

5TB? For a holographic phone? That's the same mentality that designed the Titan with 64M of memory. =P

We need 1.21 Jigabytes!!! (yeah I quoted Dr Emmet Brown)

I can totally see us jacking in ala Circuitry Man!

[MrTek]

If you are curious at the paltry D3D performance of your Titan, here is the D3D Demo app from the Treo 800w.

I get 4fps :)

A little updated info on MSM7x00 driver support from htcclassaction. Basically they say to check for a couple of dependencies in ddi.dll.

http://www.htcclassaction.org/driverprogress.php#update_20080722_1

I was going to download/install the windows mobile SDK tonight and see if I can see the dependencies but thought I would check to see if someone has done it already first ;).

our ddi.dll has no ties to disptools.dll. i think we would need a ddi.dll from another device - im not even trying.

[MrTek]

Dcd,

And I am sure this is too obvious to be possible, but couldn't we get the ddi.dll from the Kaiser?

or is the ddi.dll needed specific to the device or the MSM7500 chipset?

there are people more capable than myself who could maybe do it, but kaiser's ddi.dll does not work for me.

[MrTek]

DCD,

From reading the information on the MSDN link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa447495.aspx

It looks like DDI.DLL is the video driver itself?


could we possibly look to the Vogue/Touch for this driver?

[Hyden121]

I installed it on my kaiser and luckily no lockups yet. *crosses fingers*

[omair2005]

locked up at htc screen :mad:

[ranmasaotome510]

yes, we need someone to do a joint venture with DCD, so we can get this rolling out DCD's ROM Window. Lol. Quite honestly i cant wait one bit till this hits. But then again, our Titans are extremely lacking in the RAM department. The only thing i see this doing for me is watching my anime (unconverted) and iGO nav 8.

[Mikee4fun]

Well I made an oem from the Kaiser Direct 3d driver and cooked a rom from the ppckichen. I got the phone to boot! But bah, I don't think 3d acceleration is working. I run the test apps and I get a light bulb with some number next to it and just click on ok to close it.

[TruthAEE]

cool thanks I have tried cooked into nueROM this Im not sure but it seems to allow me to reg edit the ddi and d3d drivers arounds as I see fit without locking the the device on reset nice to play with the .dlls at least

[EbolaCola]

Bah, and here I was hoping to read a post on some progress in actually getting this working for the Mogul. Damn thread necromancers... :mad:

[Poke_N_PDA]

Has anything happened with this? Seems it never got ported to the titan.

[caizhenbin]

UP! i need it!
