    same class name, if found, we will focus it and return*/
  if(hWnd = FindWindow(szAppName, szAppName)) 
  {
    /* Set focus to foremost child window. The "| 0x01" is used to 
       bring any owned windows to the foreground and activate them.*/
    SetForegroundWindow((HWND)((ULONG) hWnd | 0x00000001));
    return 0;
  } 
		
  wc.style          = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; /*Will force a redraw 
  if the window is resized, both horizontally or vertically*/
  wc.lpfnWndProc    = (WNDPROC) WndProc; /*this is a function pointer,
  to tell the OS what function should call when a message needs to be 
  processed*/
  wc.cbClsExtra     = 0;
  wc.cbWndExtra     = 0;
  wc.hInstance      = hInstance;
  wc.hIcon          = LoadIcon(hInstance, NULL);//Load default icon
  wc.hCursor	      = 0; // Default cursor
  wc.hbrBackground  = 0; //We don't care about the background color
  wc.lpszMenuName	  = NULL; //This application does not have a menu
  wc.lpszClassName  = szAppName; /*Important, here we must fill the
   application class name (the class name is not the same than the 
   caption of the window, but many times they are the same)*/

  //Before creating the window, we must register this new window class
  if(!RegisterClass(&wc))
    return false;
	
  hWnd=CreateWindow(szAppName, //Class Name
                    szAppName, //Caption string
                    WS_VISIBLE,//Window style

  if(!hWnd) return false;
  
  //Create our timer
  timer = new Timer();
  
  
  
  //Bring the window to front, focus it and refresh it
  SetWindowText(hWnd, L"OpenGLES");
  ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow); 
  UpdateWindow(hWnd);
  
  if(!InitOGLES()) //OpenGL ES Initialization
  {
    MessageBox(hWnd,L"OpenGL ES init error.",L"Error",MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
    return false;

I was comparing the Kaiser against the Touch Diamond, the iPhone and the Nokia N95 and spotted that the Touch Diamond had a different GL rendering engine here:
http://snipurl.com/3cxq6 [www_glbenchmark_com]

The Touch Diamond refers to a Q3Dimension MSM7500W 01.02.03 0 5.1.2

Is this anything significant? Is this version compatible/portable to the Kaiser (usually Q3Dimension MSM7500 01.02.01 0 4.0.0 )?

Continued in relevant thread.

rfarnell: probably just more updates/improvements to ahi2dati.dll since HTC now seems encouraged to work on their graphics drivers in order to make TouchFlo3D work better. A relevant copy of the ahi2dati.dll or rom dump would help HTC-CA may be bring that version to Kaisers.

Still silly now since AMD/ATI left the handheld market so this is the last Imageon hardware. Boy, betting on the Qualcomm MSM platform was sure a loosing bet in even more ways now.

Here ftp.leafwireless.com Username: Mn62 Password:123456Mn in "HTC Rom" folder there is a diamond rom availible for download... dont know if this will be of any use!

ok im sure you will hear about it soon just tested the samsung drivers work ok lights i feel was slower but 3d text is readable but didnt seem 3d

[herg62123]

i remade htc ca driver and included omnia driver in it.

see if this works out better now.

You added a lot of unrelated stuff and unused stuff such as GAPI, HTCAPI, netcf 2.0, ddraw, and you swapped out the carefully selected libgles_cm.dll from the KS20 with something else. Can you detail the reason behind these choices?

i added ddraw cause on kaiser the ddraw.dll is a fake file like htc_d3dm.dll. it is just a refernce file on kaiser.

htcapi is needed to help out opera 9.5 and flash animations.

netcfd3dm2.0 on kaiser is weak and is needed for d3dm structure to work with netcf and the omnia driver.

d3dm is the same as netcf2.0

there is another file that starts with a letter g, it is needed to run 3d games like call of duty 2 and doom for ppc.

the new libgles_cm.dll is optimized to handle more than previous file.

i think i covered them all.

if i missed somethink let me know.

UPDATE FOR FILE CHANGE: text3d is readable, d3ddemo is now closeable as well runs quickly, lights works perfect, triangles now shows 68 on average fps
