what is the differency between QVGA and VGA ? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

which one is the best ? VGA or QVGA ? what is the differency between them ?

google it,
vga=640x480
qvga=320x240 (quarter vga)

Which means 4 times as much image on the same screen size.
However, on PocketPCs, as the current crop are typically not made to use a 640x480 screen, they use "pixel doubling" to enlarge a 320x240 image into 640x480. This means that you actually get more detail, but still "320x240" of pixels.
This is why screenshots from the universal are a much better quality.

What kind of security holes are you talking about?

So whats the secret to how you did this to your XDA. I'd really love to know what you did.

I used the VGA hack on the Universal, and then I wrote VJSihaya.
It was almost too easy. Not...

anychance you'll be releasing VJSihaya? cause I love the look of the OS like that.

Can u tell me the way to get this thing work by ur way coz it is really nice .Plz......

VJSihaya is not for release yet. It's something I'm working on very long term, many things I would like to do with it yet.
Also, the windowed interface unfortunately only looks good at VGA, it's not effective at QVGA, so I'm not sure whether it'll need releasing at all until VGA screens become the norm... hurry up HTC!

VGA Hack worth it or not(poll)

So Dudes and Dudesses,
youve done the VGA Hack was it worth the aggro
P.S This is a poll ,not a pole so please do not girate upon it in a G string

of F*CK ITim sick of trying to edit this
I think it makes the Universal worth having - I just got a Hermes yesterday, and despite it being a beautiful device with feck small buttons, QVGA is too old school these days.
VGA will make you blind faster then the Victoria Secret's catalogue, but it looks beautiful. With careful tweaking it can be made usable for day to day work, but for remote desktop or PocketWord etc, it's great.

Hate you so much. Now I want a VGA device even more.
:wink:
Thats vijay555 mate,
He is a top fella but they say he has gills and two sets of knee's and can our run a 911
VGA mode is fantastic - I couldn't be without it.
I have it turned on all the time but find it mainly useful for:
Web Browsing and actually being able to see worth a damn
PocketPutty connections
Terminal Services

You think that's weird, you should see my table-arm attachment:
FYI - I'm working on a new app for the phone, to make it much better then VJBigPhone. One day some time, hopefully this year
But seriously, VGA is great technically and it's a real shame to use QVGA afterwards, but it is painfully small sometimes. But with appropriate UI tweaks, it can work very well.

Cube for VGA devices

Cube for VGA Devices
Hi Slither and other programmers, I really like the SCLPC++ program you know =D
But so far this program is only for QVGA devices...So I am asking to Slither
or other programmers would you mind to develop a VGA version??
I will help as I can, like providing feedback, screenshot and even designing =)
This is what SCLPC++ looks on my VGA device now =(

So please develop it for VGA users also..thanks and God Bless =D
yup... i'm agree with this.... please help to develop the cube for VGA screen device also as VGA device user are growing and we need this fantastic cube.... thank you!!!
me and slither have already been working on a vga cube together. he first wanted to get the qvga version almost perfect and at same time research best ways to make vga while using the lowest amount of resources possible. it would use a crazy amount of memory if u just made it bigger. also time is a factor.
just be patient and stop bombarding slither and be happy he has made a cube period. it takes time and patience, espcially for the vga version.

LocoRoco and AquaForest on diamond

Anybody know this psp's game ? It's called "LocoRoco" and the game consist to inclinate the "screen" by tapping "R" and "L"...maybe can be nice moving the locoroco by the Gsens
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=QfGrX0zzVp0 It's the "ufficial" psp's version
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=aMQjawVLUC0 It's a iPhone's version (I think).
Another little demand: Can somebody made an app like this http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=hxpGdRH7J5I&NR=1
Relaxing apps, i love it xD
LocoRoco with the G-sensor would be great!
LocoRoco rocks
The one on iPhone looks dumb. But I loved the original PSP version and I would be astonished if sum Dev made it to a WM application. It certainly doesnt have big graphical requirements but the PSP iso (pirate copy, prolly ripped) had 300MB...
no one can do this apps ?
there is a game like the one on the PSP and better than the iphone version
see the pictures

sorry dont have any fix
but there is two version of the game, 240x320 and 352x416
download the 352x416 it will take bigger size of your screen (not full screen but i little bigger than 240x320)

Glazed VISTA

A Build for WAD2 and VGA, portrait only.
Still very much in the early stages but I thought I'd show it and see if there was any interest.

Thanks, performance wise so far it's good but I can only judge on the Emulator it's been built on. I expect on a phone it will be even better.
great, cant wait till its done
Very nice, I really like the Media page.
is it available for qvga???
Sry for my english, but i dont cant find the download.
Looks awesome but only on (W)VGA devices.
Unfortunately not really suitable for (W)QVGA.
Sascha
looks great!
Memory Used
realy NIce themes...keep it work
but i think Fuze/TP etc will able to used it bcoz i think this prog will eat our device Memory..
How about QVGA version?
when you release it?
I like this alot.. Hopefully all the screen real estate on the left side of the screen will be filled with sliding bars (launchers/task manager links) and other scolling madness.. I love the hidden docks in WAD.. Great concept even though its a little clunky and non responsive at times.
sweet! thats sexy as =D
i might have a closer look 2moz
but for now: does the startmenu hav the same options as the one on vista? because i LOVE that one XD
nice i love this skin
Looks AWSOME. If this runs smoothly on a QVGA im willing to test or whatever.

Thanks. The Media Player was something I really worked hard on It combines WAD2, WMP for movies and music, Nitrogen Player for MP3's, Resco radio and a TV section. There is no transition between each of the players so at all times it has the empression of being operated from within the one player a true,
WMP11.

Like other WVGA devices it looks like this interface will be specific to WVGA. Very limiting that is....o well it does look "very nice" lol

nice! today screen Clock with Seconds!
And i love the 1ghz processor xD
Check this video out at Mobile Crunch. I have to say Im not that impressed.
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-fondled-on-video/
Interface looks pretty great on the video presentation I saw. I'm wondering if the 'stipes' will get a bit stale after a bit of usage? Looks pretty fluid and I'm all about that in my preferred interface. (whichever flavor I'm in to at the moment.) Will be interesting to see what comes out of it for our various devices.
now that i saw the iphone size comparison on msmobiles.com, i beginning to lose interest. this thing is HUGE!
thats nice really

agreed, im on board
I like the settings GUI
But the Toshiba Stripes menu uses way to small buttons (especially for switching clock, calendar etc.)
Sascha
I want, hope they release it in the US too. the top could a bit smaller but I still want one.
it's not a windows interface, it's just like TF2D and TF3D it's over the windows OS.

i totally agree it seems to b point UI ..
With that 1gb processor ps2 games should be doable as long as it has proper video and 3d drivers this time around.
what's the word on availability date?
price?
markets? etc
it would be a really nice upgrade to my athena.
There is already a thread on this subject:

which clock plugin is this and could we use it for wm6 (htc prophet)?
thanks
