Is there no way of converting iphone games to be compatible with the touch hd, as screen size is similar, both have accelerometers, i was kind of amazed when i saw the soccer 2009 game on youtube, kind of dissapointed that the touch hd doesnt have anything similar yet (theres only so much twitter i can play!)
I dont really know how to convert softwares cross platform, but if anyone can actually do this, i'd be very happy to help
the screens are NOT smiliar.... there are differnt OS.... Iphone accept multitouch.....HD can using a stick, iphone not...
there is no chance to convert.....only rebuild....
ok, thanks, do you think games and software will be released like it has been on the iphone?
i dont think the HD can run games that will work at good FPS like the iphone.

Course it will....

The HD has a WVGA the Iphone has not much !!!
even if it was possible to port the games on to the Touch .. the picture woudl be soo small .. it woudl not be able to see much !!
However there are other games out there that do mimic the same as the Iphone... but better !!!!!!!!!
Yep hardware wise the HD trousers the iPhone.....
And you can install what you want on it without apple saying so...

thats why i thought the hd should be able to play games that are at the same quality as the iphone, maybe because wvga hasnt been around that long?
To clarify; you can't. Iphone uses completely different hardware and more importantly the operating system and APIs available to the developer are very different. Even rebuilding with the game source-code would be a very manual process.
It would be like trying to port a PS3 game to an Xbox360... not possible.
Are there any games to the touch HD that can be compared to the games in Iphone? And where to buy them? I wanna have good games like on Iphone, my friends with Iphone laugh at my Blackstone because it has no good games
Well, thats the problem with Windows Mobile. On Iphone Apple controls what you can install, on Windows Mobile there is nothing you could control. (well, except business and navigation tools)
Hey guys.
Did you know that dos game called Death Rally?
I looked the entire web to find out if anyone has ported it to WM but didnt get much success.
Do you guys know something about it?
And by the way, which are the best WM games?
Jonathan
Dude, I hear you. Still have the dos version by any change, and willing to attach / upload somewhere? You'll make me a happy man.
game
pm me if you want that game! is it playable on touch hd?
Well, there is a Game called "Death Drive" for WM.
http://freewareppc.com/games/deathdrive.shtml
But I don't think you can play it on th HD, because it needs a keypad.
Xtrakt
The best Game for Touch HD is Xtrakt! A free 3D game made for the Xperia, but it works perfectly on the HD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497243
Azgard Defence is nice to but it's not for free.
I don't think a WM version of Death Rally exists, but you could try running it with an emulator. This way could work, if there wasn't the problem with the missing Dpad, and not to mention problems with the screen resolution.
Xtrakt & NFS Undercover (g-sensor version) are prob best games for HD.
Yeah I tried NFS Undercover (Gsensor enabled version) recently and I love it, it is simply the best game I ever played on my HD (including Xtract).

Guys, funny thing.
I simply love my HD, but I dont understand why there is so few cool games for it while for Iphone there thousands.
Well, in fact I understand: gotta be that apple store.
Hoping for things to change.
There is so much potential in THD..

I don't think this is the issue.
Iplay alot of games on my brothers Iphone that does not use multi-touch.
It is not fair that we don't have such cool games.
this is the only reason that I would want Ipod touch or an Iphone. (only for the games)
for the rest, I will stick to my HD
Well, due to the hardware differences, as well as some hardware manufacturers that I won't name (Qualcomm, oops i did) not opening their documents for developers.
Unless there is an optimised universal library for games, that runs the same on all hardware, (like Direct X), you won't see much games like you see on iphones, since apple have the same hardware on all their device.

Do you think its a Windows Mobile issue or is it just the hardware of our HD's that doesn't support multi-touch?
I agree....NFS and Xtrakt are nice looking games, but they can't come close to the iPhone gaming experience. There is a huge difference between iPhone and our Touch HD's when it comes to game graphics and touch sensivity.

Hi guys
I recently got hold of a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, and i have to say im rather dissapointed.
The lag issue, which none of the lag fixes really actually stop, is so annoying, GPS not working as im one of the unfortunate people who have this issue is another annoyance
The screen is fantastic however, and the music player is aweseome with its equilizer.
However i use my phone for numerous things, media is one thing, GPS also as i dont see the need to buy a seperate sat nav when my phone "should have it",
Now i am going to wait until the official Froyo release from samsung before making any decision.
Right stop my moaning and here are my questions
i have been offered in exchange a sim Free Desire, plus a 16gb Class 6 sdcard, all boxed.
The one thing that worries me about going down the Desire route is how long is this handset gonna last.
Looking at benchmarks the i9000 creams the desire (with lag fix) in pretty much everything, i know this is down to the pretty poor Adreno 200 GPU on snapdragon as linpack shows the snapdragon FPU is better, Quadrant over 2200 currently on my SGS
in gaming terms for the future how long is this gonna last? can i expect games that are released in 6 months from now to run flawlessly? i know its hard for people to see into the future! but NEed for speed seems to run pretty much identically to my SGS, so im wondering if its all down to optimization on both chipsets
also gingerbread? a definate yes? or have HTC still not announced if Desire will be getting it
Samsung wont give any answers on this whatsoever
Also what would you guys do?
The samsung guys say "stay with it" but i want opinions from both camps
Cheers
You are on the same point I was a few weeks ago, well I wasn't offered in exchange by someone but the store owner offered to change it for me. Honestly, I'd say go for it. Samsung's software is crap, Desire has a lot better development community. Not to mention you get HTC Sense. Now one warning, Desire doesn't got true multi-touch, it got pinch support but thats about as far as the multi-touch goes. I tired playing Real Football 2010 with a Desire and it was a crap experience. People have reported Quadrant benchmarks of almost 1800 via OCed kernel and custom ROMs, if you really want to get down to that point but honestly it doesn't make a difference.
And HTC still hasn't announced if Desire is getting Gingerbread but there is a good chance the ROM community will be able to get it running. Plus Samsung still hasn't released Froyo, so I don't see a bright future of Gingerbread coming from them.
Now, GPS on Desire is damn good. It works as good as my 2 year old satnav if not better(It usually gets the fix better, I gave my satnav away ).
Honestly the handset has a good life-time to last, HTC Hero is still doing pretty good so Desire should do good as well was another year or more. Even if HTC may drop the support we have people here giving new life to the device.
My opinion: go for it! Desire is a great phone / smartphone.
The more I use it, the better it is.
Make sure you do a hard reset when you get it...
im seriously 50/50 on this, and now my time frame has been shortened, my mate wants to know by tomorrow otherwise he is ebaying it (mates eh!?)
Benchmarks are not the be all and end all, its bragging rights i suppose.
one thing that is seriously tipping me back to HTC is the support and community development, Samsungs own support is utterly awful, Kies is the worst piece of software i have ever ever used, and no OTA?! what the hell is that about.
As for HTC back in the day when i had my hero, ok there was delays but at least they kept people in the loop, one of my biggest annoyences is not being advised anything from samsung other than "we are working on it"
i dont hold out anyfaith that the filesystem will be sorted out with froyo, i mean it says alot when the XDA guys can fix it, but Samsung dont seem to even ackowledge the fact the software is naff!
i thought the desire had true multi touch? Does this mean playing psx4droid is a poor experiance?
No, it doesn't got true multi-touch. If the x1 intersects with y2 or x2 with y1 it goes haywire. It doesn't have gorilla glass either. But the community of HTC Desire is far better than Galaxy S from my experience, we don't have to use Kies or similar crap either(It was a PITA to get Kies to even recognize my phone, took me well over 4 hours and a lot of headaches), we got OTA! .

Glad you share my view on Kies, i honestly have never had such issues flashing a firmware, at least with Odin it did what it says on the tin
ok well im pushing more towards the desire, i just HOPE that its as much as an enjoyable process playing PSX games on psx4droid as it is on the Galaxy S, i do alot of travelling and i spend most of that time on trains playing FF7
If you want to do gaming stick with the galaxy s the desire isn't very good for that. Maybe 2.2 for the galaxy s will resolve your issues. I love the desire its a great phone but its horrible for gaming.

it all depends how much more powerfull the new version of adreno is, obviously developers are still going to develop games for the arm cpu and adreno inparticular, imo i think our gpu will be able to play the games developed for newer versions of adreno but maybe not flawlessly .............. as far as gingerbread goes, the desire will never get it officially as htc are more intrested in supporting what will be then there current generation of devices, but as the desire and n1 are almost identical, and the n1 being googles official developer device, they are sure to get gingerbread, so we maybe we will be the first device to get working custom roms

I never thought of it like that actually regarding future android updates, basically the N1 is the same hardware as the desire, just lacking a little bit of Ram i believe, so shouldnt be too difficult to port over a rom
you sir have just tipped the scales again!
If you care about gaming stick with SGS..devs are even stopping games for desire ( see n.o.v.a) due to the multitouch bug and the the GPU isn't even remotely close to sgs's..Desire's 720p is a big pile of disappointment as well,no matter what rom you try..
other than that it is a fantastic phone...also unique feel as you hold it in your palm..its ergonomy is amazing, even ip4 doesn't sit as well in the hand as desire does..
Your right about the iPhone 4 it is a pain to hold now lol (not about the signal "issue") the edges are Sharp.

I have a Desire & my friend has a Galaxy S.
I would say the Samsung has a better screen. However:
The Desire is a better over all device, software wise and build quality wise. Oh and it has more ram.
However, if gaming is a serious thing for you, I suggest you stay with the Samsung because they really do have the most powerful mobile GPU.

In respects to gaming its not gaming as such, i mean angry birds beta from the market, any gpu should play that, im more bothered about PSX emulation at this point, my sgs is superb with psx4droid, where as the videos i have seen on youtube dont say the same story with desire, however these are based on the early versions of the app,

Don't worry about that...psx4droid does not yet support hardware acceleration so all graphics are rendered from the CPU , not the GPU...so they should play it equaly well..well runs fine on my desire..and also i had an hd2 before and used fpsece which supported(and still does) hw acceleration..and run great on hd2 (has snapdragon chip, same as htc desire)..could get 40+fps on tekken 3...which is brillian (does not even run in psx4droid)..

Hi guys!!!
Im older user from HTC mobile, now I buy a new phone more chip, and won a new problems!
Srs., I've looking for features about my mobile (it is Motorola SPICE XT300), and this model only sell in Brazil / Canada / Argentina / Australia (i guess).
Looking in the website (gsmarena) I found the features about my phone, and its is the same about the Wildfire. look:
Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair)
CPU 528 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7225 chipset
So i heard about this model dont have a drivers for this chipset, cause i dont know, but motorola dont make this drivers. So i hear some people try porting other driver from this chipset in this model but its very very dificult found news about this. I have some helps from neopeek and other forums, here too, about porting this drivers.
So, this driver i guess stay in /system/lib/****.so - my question is, somebody knows how install the 3D driver for this chipset? If i download a CUSTOM ROM here, try to copy/paste in the same location those files could work? Please guys help me, I dont wanna lose my phone but dont wanna use without graphics (by the way its f**king bad do anything, its slow any apps who needs).
So any news about this? anything? some developer could help me? any one?
Thx guys, c ya ...
gsmarena has the specs of the wildfire wrong, it doesn't have a gpu
Pdadb should be better. If you have the msm 7225 then there is no gpu. The best way to check is run nenamark. If it gets 1fps then there is no gpu. If it gets 30-60 fps then there is a gpu

The ZTE Blade is a better option now however before that was released the Wildfire was very good value.

Seconded. At today's price point, there are much better phones than the Wildfire out there. But, ~6 months back, really, Wildfire was the only option if you wanted a budget Android, which is why, I am a bit disillusioned, but will continue to faithfully stick with my Wildfire.
I agree that now there are better phones in that price range. But look at the time when wildfire is released, almost a year ago and still it can compete. You must agree that even few months is relatively big period not to mention a whole year.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
Good value? Yeah, maybe the first days of release, but it didn't take long for alot more valuable phones came along. All HTC phones is overpriced, and now with locked bootloaders, useless. Only reason I got it was becouse, at the time, it was the cheapest with a LED flashlight. If I only waited for the Defy instead, same price-range, but oh so much better phone on ALL fronts.
Ok guys! but the question its not about the wildfire, its is about this Motorola Spice..
So ok, i learn the Wildfire dont have gpu ok ...
So somebody have the nenamark.apk to install ? I just found the .zip file and I dont know how to install this on mobile.
I gonna make the test with this bench, cause if i got more then 1fps i have a gpu .. if not, i dont have and i guess this thread is closed.
Any one know something about this specific model? C ya.
So I've had an AMAZING year with my Xperia PLAY.. Being my first android phone,I was instantly hook on Android n now realize how weak Symbian/Windows Mobile/Apple are compared to Android..

I have a friend with an LG optimus 3d (Really Good condition)that wants to swap for my PLAY... Any Suggestions if I should go ahead?

Does a bigger and better screen, and a dual core processor make up for not having a gamepad? Having the gamepad, just makes gaming so much better but sometimes I wish the phone would be faster and have better graphics. So it's your choice: [gamepad with worse graphics and somewhat less smooth gameplay] or [No gamepad with better graphics and very smooth gameplay that will never lag]. I do love my Play but I would take the newer phone. The hardware on the Play is very outdated.
