Apps that work on HD2

---

I know there'll be a thread on this (or wiki) at some point soon enough - once three are more owners etc - but for now I'd really like to hear more on what people have tried and what's ctally out thre that's been tweaked specifically to cater for the HD2 setup/hardware.

For starters:

Coreplayer V 1.3.6 [build 7427 for ARM] :
Works, but is quite unimpressive so far *by comparison to the visual quality of the HD screen*. I'd love to know if there are tweaks to be had to improve this of course (I have no idea how to do it)
The images are jagged/pixely/patchwork and a *relatively* poor visual experience compared to the screen on the HD - although speed is obviously far better

Kinomaplay V 5.1.83:
Works pretty much perfectly from my use of it so far.

SPB Time v2.2.2:
Works, but not great to use with the finger-only capacative setup. It's awkward and fiddly to change things - but at least I can NOw set my own alarm tones (as with the windows one I cannot find how to do that - I have moved files to the correct folder for the tones but it wont recognise the .wav format so they dont appear in the options list of the alarm control panel). Plus with SPB program at least I get the BIG snooze buttons and I can alter the length of the snooze time (the OE windows alarm function is stilll rubbish for this IMO - poor show really)

That's about all I've had time to do so far

I've just seen the tweaks thread and I'm going to try the 3.5.NET tweak to see if that will help with other things in any way (I'm not at all techy, so I tend to not be too adventurous until I get a decent 'laymans' understanding of what the benefits are before trying it out)

What's everyone else got runnig and how well?

(version numbers would be a help also please)

Cheers

SRS WoW is an excellent dsp equaliser that will make even your tinny earphones sound basey and clear.

very useful thread. I've tried s2u2 works fine and touch response 2.2.

Set "Smooth Zoom" in Video Settings to "ON" .... also Dither checked. Set Video output to DirectDraw, Raw FrameBuffer or GDI... Also...DirectDraw works, you need to check "Use blitting instead of overlay" in DirectDraw settings.

Which do you think is the best? IMO, I think GDI is smoother. Am I right?

Set video output to GDI, always smooth zoom and dither on.

I don't know if I should post here, but it seems that I can't find a IGO navigation who does work on my HD2. Does anybody know what is the problem? On my old PDA I can install any IGO (Glofiish X500+).Thank you in advance..

Hi

Have been unable to get MSVC 1.6.21725 to announce over bluetooth on my touch HD2- only via phone speaker - any ideas on a fix for this.

Cheers

Hmmm, I love this extension, but it won't run on my HD2.

After installing to the device (which works OK) File Explorer crashes on startup.

Remove fexlorerext (version 2.05 is what I am running) File Explorer works OK again.

Anyone any ideas? I can get screen grabs of the crash reports if that helps anyone...
