dunno why you say that most CDMA people are itching to upgrade to the sprint Diamond/touch Pro or 800w.

Just like theres still a little support for the 700wx and 6700, but MAIN focus is the current line-up of the touch/Mogul which will shift to the Diamond/Pro. Not saying its not worth it but dont get hopes so high that itll 100% be accomplished.

My point was if money was the issue someone in the world would have stepped up and claimed the 7 grand prize on xda. Its obviously not the money, its probably simply the fact that no one can do it right now is why we dont have anything yet. Its taken what 8 months to get something close to running on the device at least to test? People will simply lose interest over time is the main problem. Half the people that pledged will back out when they buy a new HTC come the end of 2008 and specifically said if its done before the Diamond/Pro come out.

The problem is were the "geeks" not the avg person who keeps a phone for 2 years- everyone here is already itching to buy a new HTC no matter if they have to pay full price, and less concerned about drivers when they know theyll have them soon either way. if this was Dec 2007, then the effort would be much stronger IMO but at this point a lot of people are just looking ahead to whats coming

not trying to demean the effort here at all, just being realistic. i dont think 10 times the bounty will change it

Well you already got my ROM that has the ATI drivers in it but the other drivers are gonna be somewhat more difficult.

Yup.....well people should post their links in this thread so people can test them and find them easier

Installing CorePlayer right now. I've been flashing so much I haven't tried my new ROM's video capabilities yet but I'm about to.

EDIT:: Using DirectDraw in CorePlayer watching "The Fast and The Furious - Tokyo Drift", I would say that I see a marginal difference at best.

Turning on the microdrive buffer and switching to either RawFrameBuffer or GDI helps significantly when watching the same movie. It's still not amazing but works.

Just pledge to the project, not me. If I am the person who completes the job I'll be happy to collect but I can't see that happening. I'm not that skilled.

Has the development effort begun yet? Does anyone possess the physical drivers and it's dependencies? Registry entries, interfaces, hooks?
