SCOTT - I'm hoping... man I hope to God I can get you to take a look at this. One thing I have HATED about the Touch Pro since I got it, and even your ROM didn't fix, is that for whatever reason, the graphics drawing/rendering in Landscape mode is FAR worse than when the phone is in Portrait mode. I had noticed it in Opera Mobile and Mini and a few other apps, and then confirmed it using some benchmarking software (the Bitmap Draw test in SK Tools in particular). The phone renders some 30% slower in Landscape mode! This is noticeable as a drop in frame rate and as Vsync tearing.
At any rate, I ran across a thread on XDA that is about this specific issue, and a few people posted how a new custom ROM from Da_G specifically for the AT&T Fuze, had new drivers that finally fix this problem. Not only is it claimed to fix the Landscape redraw, but it is supposed to be a nice boost in overall graphics performance. I sent him a PM to ask about getting the drivers, but he said the main file which fixes this, ddi.dll (which is from new Diamond official ROMS, and he also apparently uses some Blackstone/Touch HD files), is now part of the XIP and is not a file you can simply post for people to write over their existing driver with. He did say that the file is easily extracted from his XIP for cooking into other custom ROMS.
I wanted to ask... no... BEG... if there is any possible way you can get this ddi.dll (and other graphics drivers such as d3dm_ati.dll and disptools.dll) into your kitchen so that we too can enjoy the increased graphics performance, and, more importantly, no more huge loss in performance in Landscape mode. Is there ANY way you can do this? I would be glad to beta test this... until now I basically treat my TP like a Diamond... I never use the hardware keyboard because the performance in landscape is so bad!
Oh, here is the link to the ROM/Kitchen:

And here is the thread where everyone is talking about how bad the redraw is in Landscape:

Scott, if you don't want to mess with this XIP or ddi file, can you tell me how I might be able to incorporate this into your Simple Kitchen, at least to be able to try the drivers out and see how they work? I dont' know if it's as easy as dropping an OEM folder into the kitchen or what....
