Slow 3D performance on your HTC HD2? Poor video performance too? No worry, XDA Moderator, Chainfire created a HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch for all of us. I did install version 1.1 before forgot install it back after ROM upgrade. So far I don’t have issue with games on original stock driver because I am not a hardcore gamer on mobile phone but desktop. In short, HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch is a hack to HTC HD2 3D driver. It will improve HTC HD2 3D performance a lot.

Acer neoTouch (F1) is the HTC HD2 cheapo alternative version. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD2850 1 GHz processor like HTC HD2. Using the same 480 x 800 pixels TFT touchscreen, 65K colours pixels but with resistive rather than capacitive in HTC HD2 and with smaller size 3.8 inches. So it is lighter too ~ 130 g. Besides, it has lesser RAM ~ 256MB RAM only and no FM radio support. Hardware specifications are about the same but with much lower price compare to HTC HD2. Of course, you won’t get the fancy interface like HTC TouchFLO 3D and HTC Sense in this Acer neoTouch ~ so less interactive. But Acer neoTouch comes with a stylus pen which good for Chinese character input.
