I've been in contact with Redshift about possibly adding 480x800 resolution support to The Quest, one of the better RPG games for WM. The reply I got wasn't great... they won't be supporting the WM version anymore. However, they did mention that 800x480 support works and is built in (aka landscape mode in HD2, HD, X1, etc.)
EDIT: See second post for instructions on how to get this to work.
I got it to work. Here's the instructions:
Install BsB Tweaks, The Quest v 1.04 (Not 1.03), and VGA Fix v.4 (The newest one that works with 6.5)
Start BsB Tweaks, and goto the rotation menu. Add File Explorer to the list of programs that can rotate, and soft reset.
Once phone is back on,use VGA Fix v.4, set res to VGA. start BsB tweaks, and go into the rotation menu. Add the quest to the list of programs that can rotate. Before closing The Quest, or soft reseting, go into the settings for The Quest, and select "Left Landscape" for view. Soft reset.
Now, once phone is back on, goto File explorer. Search out The Quest exe. (usually under program files\games\the quest\), rotate screen so file explorer is in landscape, and *double tap* (see note below) the quest. Congrats, your game should start, touch controls will work, and you wont need to use VGAFix to lose full screen. Let me know if it works for you.
NOTE: it seems that a single click on the exe won't always start The Quest. It will show the white "Starting the Quest" text, then exit back to the file explorer. Double tapping the exe works every time... got me as to why.
Thanks for the tip on the settings and starting the game via landscape mode file explorer. works for me.
where can we dl this game? is it free?
http://redshift.hu/
That's the homepage for the game. It isn't free, unless you do some searching. I will say that the game is worth the 10 bucks they are asking. I can easily waste 30 to 60 hours on a play through, not including the official expansion... or the multiple other 3rd party expansions. A new, free expansion was just released for it, in fact. If you poke around in the forums they list on the home page, you can find a ton of info on it. They do have a demo you can download and try.
I added this to the thread on "Games that work for the HD2". Anyone else try this? Just want to make sure it works for a few people.

Same issue.
Where do i find this VGA Fix program?
Seems like the OP was talking about WVGA Fix 4.
Works on my TP2
Hey, thanks for the tip! Works like a charm on my Touch Pro 2.
Doesn't work well on my Omnia 2 - the game starts properly on a full screen but the controls are screwed both in start menu and the game itself (have to tap in competely different places than icons are placed, it looks like there is portrait layout of "clickable" places on a landscape display).
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Awesome tip. Worked on my TP2 as well. Like the tweaks apps too.

I have a few questions about Manila 2d that I have downloaded on my Samsung Omnia (VZ i910).
-How can you add contacts to your people menu?
-How can you add programs to the program menu?
*I have clicked on both, held each spot, but nothing happens.
-How can I set up my location for the weather tab?
*I have tried to click add location, but nothing works
-I have tried to download a new theme, however each and every time I do so (following directions) the interface only takes up 2/3 of the screen leaving a small area at the bottom under the different tabs of extra space. I had a feeling that perhaps the files I was downloading weren't QVGA, but I downloaded another and it still didn't work.
Also, is there a reliable Manila 2d that supports landscape? I heard some member here was working on it.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
hmmmmm
i too have the omina i910...iim about to install Manila on my phone...but too sure anymore...lol
how is it......

The landscape part, I would check the main M2D thread. I believe that Helmi was close to getting it done. Which version of M2D are you using? I ask because the version might actually be the reason why you can't get it to work properly. I have seen that problem a few times in the early versions of M2D, where people had all sorts of issues adding things to the launchers. Let us know so that we can help you out.
I just spent the last 3 hours getting all the nessary information to install Manila 2D on my Omnia. I got it working. now the only thing is the the flow menu that you use to navigate between all the features (Home, Contacts, Messages, Internet etc...) is 3/4 way down the screen its not at the bottom where it should be. so when i go to Contacts the flow menu is 3/4 way down but all my contacts go down to the bottom. is there anyway to fix this
Thanks
Hello again.
Following the ROM update to Mitchyprima's 6.1 lite reloaded, I've been looking for apps and games that make use of the now active G-sensor.
So far I've found none.
The only thing it does at the moment is auto-rotate the screen when the device is turned.
I've installed lots of apps and games mostly designed for the touch and touch pro, but none of them work.
Can anyone tell me about any apps that are compatible with the X7510, or any dlls/mods I need to use to enable the G-sensor for accelerometer enabled apps?
Thanks.
i have an app called changer
you can add any app to the program and it will rotate is that what your looking for
You do not need any additional app to have rotation feature. This is already built in the ROM by Michy. You only have to go to G-sensor option and switch X7510 rotation on.
However if you are looking for some games and other apps then I can't help. I know GSen app for rotation, but now it is useless as we have it already and personally do not use anything else.
So nobody is using the G-sonsor for anything except rotating the screen?

I don't even use it for that! I find the automatic rotation a pain in the butt- it's so slow to repond that you have turned to device round and round waiting for it to happen, then it keeps rotating till it catches up with you
I've got AE ButtonPlus programmed to use the Home button to manually rotate the screen. Same with my Diamond- I use PocketPlus to manually rotate it
The screen also rotates to landscape when you put your X7510 on your keyboard.
I like is that way.
The only thing I might find usefull, is scrolling trough your web-browser with the G-sensor.
I don't know hoe accurate this is but you can measure the slope of a surface using the 'bubble level' concept.
Might be a demo but it is on a freeware site
I am using the G-Sensor Calibration for Diamond from this site and it works on the X7510.
Topic on that tool is here.
Hello again, fellow XDA'ers...
Is there some strings to be added/modified to get CoPilot to switch from portrait to landscape and vice versa automaticly, like the reg edits used for TomTom7 (found somewhere else on the forum)?
If anyone could post them here, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
no need for that... In teh menu op copilot go to settings, screen orientation and check the 'use device settings' (or something like that).
Iith a tool like gyrator add copilot to the g-sensor applications, and everything works.
i tried this, it worked great for co pilot, but in all, it just doesn't look right, so ill just keep with portrait, till i get my hd2
EDIT: ARGH i just realised that i messed up somewhere in my upload, after menu it reverts to VGA with blackened places where it doesnt cover WVGA. still playable tho. gimme a while to solve it, i must have mixed some thing up some where
EDIT2= fixed
I got several mails requesting for the WVGA version of Warcraft 2 as seen at myblog . Its simple really, all you need to do is edit the preference files and you got yourself WVGA.
I believe there are a few WVGA versions on XDA, and i tried them, and i've no idea what he did but damn that was laggy and choppy. rest assured this isnt the same file, and its smooth and perfectly playable. (take note WQVGA is probably possible as well, just download the QVGA version from my other link, and download these preference files, and edit the two preference files inside with notepad, pay attention to the resolution)
Download the WVGA version (fixed tilesets and everything, shud be perfectly fine now)
http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2009/11/warcraft-2-wvga-version-totally-smooth.html
and you're good to go! (u get better performance if u switch off the sounds)
pfffft solved the problem. i accidentally left out the tiles for 480X800. Will update within 24 hours with the files, gotta sleep now.
wow awesome..
do i have to manually extract campaign.rar and Grzes.rar?
no! dont extract anything else its all done. just the game folder itself. u can create shortcut and place in your windows/startmenu/programs if u want.

Hi Baronic, campaign mode seems to work fine, I hadn't tried that. Instant action is the one that exits to the home screen. I'm well happy with the campaign mode though. Thanks for this release.
It's in rar format,so should we extract to folder then paste into our storage card?
update, campaign works fine
Ok,i launch it successfully, how to disable sound?

i just tested it on my Touch Diamond 2, no problems at all. make sure u have enough ram perhaps. or maybe its something about the rom
instant action and campaign i repeat no problems on TD2
running official 6.1 rom. (dad's phone, lazy to flash lol)
if its instant action u're trying, try the smaller maps. could be ram issue.
to disable sound, start a game, then go menu, options to disable.
since more than two people have the problem i can only surmise maybe its related to the based on version of your rom.
i can only recommend some possibilities
1. check pagepool. i always use 16mb
2. check ram.
3. try disable TF3D
see if any difference.
BTW, please make sure u have downloaded the latest UPDATE 4 version. Try downloading again. There was a brief period for about 2 hours during UPDATE 3, when the zip file i uploaded had some essential instant action files missing. maybe u downloaded that before i could take it down. so try to download again and give it a shot

Dear Baronic,

the first mission works fine but when im loading the second one. it exits and go to homescreen. also instant action isnt working despite the map.
i have update4 and TESS4.2
Instant game not working, campaign (at least mission one) does. Looks great. But let me ask: when choosing the screen resolution of the game, there is no 800x480? Should i just leave it be the way it is?
Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
