A question: do you also run RealVGA? I'm wondering if PointUI works well at 96dpi on the i780. And do you think the screen size and shape (square) fits with the functionality and design of PointUI? I've only seen videos of it running on 320x240 devices...

Nope i don't use RealVGA right now. I prefer my fonts bigger Yup it works perfectly in square screen size no problem at all. Its so much easier to go to your applications using PointUI.

Actually I tried it before with RealVGA installed and it works perfectly. But I installed RealVGA first before PointUI. So I believe you want have any problem with it

Chinese Writing SIP sounds very general, can't google leh. can send URL?

can someone veryfy whether SPB Phone Suite is compatible with i780 by default? as in do not need to install RealVGA?

I believe it won't work with i780 w/o realVGA. Their site specifically says that it won't work for wm 6 prof. 320x320 screens

Thanks for this guys. Really useful for a PPC newbie like me who would not like to have a nice-looking, expensive *brick*! :)

hi raiz07, one suggestion to make this thread better is to indicate whether all the softwares listed can run with the i780 out of box or do they need to work only with realVga installed ...

LOL

The i780 is no brick, it is one of the most advanced economical value for money PDAPhone in the market now, it has higher display resolution than many more exp$ WM Phones around.

any free registry editor for i780?

u can try PHM Registry Editor

Hi Raiz07,

I've installed PointUi but am not comfortable using so uninstalled it. Noticed that there's still this "Pointui Home" icon in Programs, any ways to remove this icon?

Thankz!!

Look for the Application UpdateManager.exe It can be found under \Program Files\PointUI\Update Manager\1.0a. Then follow the ff. steps:

1.) Just press the X button when its trying to look for an update.
2.) Click PointUI Produts->Home->1.02b Free
3.) Click Uninstall

I used the 'babaric' method.. went straight to the file explorer-->program files-->undelete PointUi

Sorry still noob to WinMobile...

Anyone tried the other SpB softwares like Pocket Plus, Mobil Shell, Spb Games, etc. ? How about Phone Alarm?

do you install RealVGA 96dpi to run Skyforce reloaded, or it will run with 128dpi?
thanks

Nope no RealVGA. Also the apps that is on the first post can run w/o RealVGA

Games:
Meteor arkanoid
Jackpot Casino

hi all
can anyone explain for me the function of the realvga software ? why most of i780 owners say that u should install the realvga software to make programs work ?
is it really important to install this software for 3rd party softwares ? i mean, can i run 3rd party softwares without it ?

I am not trying to a meanie. But the purpose of this thread is to put a list of compatible software for I780. And not individual list, so if you guy don't mind, just add on to the list. It is much easy to see and more effective.

No offend to tyrex. Just hope to make this thread as "clean" as possible.

ok, thanks. btw, did you install the skyforce the 240x240 version or 240x320? coz i installed the 240x320 and its not centered... thanks.

Hi guys,

If we look at the topic it says compatible, which to me means out of the box, no RealVGA or other substitute hacks or programmes to get it to work, cause with RealVGA I believe many more programmes will run with it's adjusted dpi and screen resolution settings.

My 2 cents worth in this thread.

Thanks all.

mobilepalm

I believe its 240x320. Yes, it does not totally cover the whole screen but at least the coordinates are right when you use the stylus to move the plane So no problem on my part.

Tomorrow Platypus by www.astraware.com is released. A scrolling shooter, very addictive and meant to work natively in 320 x 320.

Hi raiz07, I was wondering can you edit and update the 1st page list with the software listing that other users add in? This may be a bit troublesome for you but it will be a great help to the others looking through this thread. We can just refer to the 1st page for the latest list based on your update time. :)

Hi Ddeath,

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi raiz07,

If you would do the honours you can PM me the list and i will update for you, FOC... haha...

thanks bro lmf2501 & raiz07 in advance...

Hi, just bought a i780 too and was sooooo happy to see so many applications that are compatible. I downloaded VITA SMS Chat but on my trial version, the SMSes are not sorted out such that the latest messages are placed first. In fact, the order is such that the latest messages are furthest down the list. The other thing is that I don't seem to be able to scroll up and down. Hence if the list is longer than there is space on the screen, I cannot access the earliest messages. Does anyone know how to navigate within the SMS chat tool?

regards

Anybody tried Singapore's Transport Guide from Avantlogic on the i780, can it work if using RealVGA? Thanks.

List updated on the first page, feel free to PM me any updates...

Thanks Imf2501!

Welcome Jordan...

PS - its LMF not IMF leh hehehe...

basically realvga changes the dpi (dots per inch) of the screen. so that u can see more!
