[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nullstring:
WOW.. I didn't it's not easy as typing DllImport just to use Native methods in Windows Phone.. I was calling SetCurosPos earlier but I keep getting error because I was using that method. I was hoping I could get that little cat over there on my signature to port on Windows Phone but at the very start of the project, I already get trapped.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Thunder_:
What's the reason we have to use ComImport instead of DllImport? I am not so familiar with C++ development. What I want to achieve is to leverage an existing WinCE Dll. Do I have to write a COM wrapper for that Dll? Any easier way?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
DllImport doesn't exist on the Windows Phone platform. So you need to have a COM wrapper for your native DLL. If you follow this guide, you should be able to create it. Another possibility is to use fiinix' DllImport-project, which does a lot of the interop for you.

Good luck,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Thunder_:
I am trying to use the DllImport project. But the current version only supports 3 parameters. I will try building a COM wrapper or wait for fiinix to release the more parameters version.

I have a problem at point 7, when I enter the command I see this:

Impossible to open a registry key of sistem - Access is denied

any solution?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Not all of the registry can be read with standard permissions. You know those registry locations that, when you visit them in Schaps' Registry Editor app, it says "Access is restricted"? Yeah, that's the problem.

To work around that, you need to either elevate the privileges of your app, or lower the security on the registry. The first is possible on first-gen Samsung (WP7 Root Tools) but Heathcliff74 hasn't released a way for third-party developers to use that yet. The first is also possible on certain HTC phones with old-ish firmware; see the HtcRoot project (in my sig). The native part of that project was actually based on this tutorial, by the way. The second option is currently only possible on "Fully unlocked" custom ROMs that are available for most first-gen HTC phones, though it may be possible to do it on stock ROMs later.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nickg.:
Thanks for your answer, but the problem is on PC not on device
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Oh sorry, didn't look close enough - yeah, that command should be run as Admin.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nickg.:
thanks a lot
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You know, it's funny... WP7 SDK does actually support the DllImportAttribute, and will compile and everything. It's documented in MSDN, and not even marked as unsupported on Silverlight for Windows Phone.

However, when you try to run the app and call a DllImport function, it always throws an exception complaining that it can't find the method.

Why did they include DllImport, and not even annotate it as disabled, if P/Invoke doesn't work? Anybody have an idea here?

Has anybody tried using it on a DLL that's in the application folder, instead of the system root?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
This is required to create an app that edits the registry, right? Haven't found any information about how to edit the registry. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, editing the registry using native code won't work unless the app gets elevated permissions. By default, apps run with extremely low permissions and can read (some of) the registry, but can't write to it.

On a fully-unlocked ROM, or using a way to elevate an app (HtcRoot project or WP7 Root Tools v0.9) then this will work. Otherwise, the way to modify the registry is to use OEM drivers, typically by way of OEM DLLs that ship with the OEM apps. For an example of this technique, take a look at my MultiTaskToggle app; it uses different COM DLLs (from OEM apps) for HTC, Samsung, and LG to enable it to modify a specific registry value.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
Well this app I'm working on is only intended to include when building ROMs so that the chefs can include proper credits and other useful information into the ROM :P But I'm currently developing it so it reads most of the info from an xml document, but some things would be better to read from the registry (ex. active touchdriver, audio gain levels and such). Are there any guide on how to read the registry in a fully unlocked ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
My new SDK is on the verge of being released. That SDK will work on unlocked ROM's too and it is probably everything you need.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
Okey :) Sounds great :) Do you have any idea as of how long it'll take before a release? If it's a matter of days I can wait but if it's a couple of weeks I really need to get it done in another way until you're releasing it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Hi Heatcliff74.

Do you mean MFC is totally unusable now? What do you mean about possibility to get libraries (or recompile, most of MFC source was in SDK) from WM? Do you know if MFC objective extension miss only in WP7, or its basical windows structures miss too?

I am trying Silverlight/native co-operation, but there is so much complications (I code Phone Commander one year and still only beta is finished), I mean to write native only applications can be easier way. For exaple hardware keyboard support (Phone commander will use full keyboard shortcuts on HTC7Pro or *in future* WP 7 phone + BT keyboard) is very long work, but native part was finished quickly. Console apps work well for me, what do you mean about reverse possibility (Silverlight UI called from native executable)? Is it possible by any simple way?

Do you know managed entry point, which call TaskHost.exe? Do you know shell command to run managed dll in TaskHost (I have got TaskHost recompilation, but I do not understand it fully)? I am new in this coding type and MS does not public much informations in my language.

Thank you. M7P.

Callbacks

Another question:

Have you got working managed callbacks http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34751435#post34751435 ? We can solve It by additional threads with WaitForSingleObject calling, but all other (standard) ways crash for me. Bigger problem is invoking to main thread - my VS v2010 Express does not allow it to me (probably mscoree difference). Have you experience in this? Thanks. Martin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NYG:
I don't know if its just me but, my phone seems slow while on my home wifi. I haven't checked wifi anywhere else. And my signal on the phone seems to be weak at times even while sitting in the same room with my router. My cappy seems faster in this area. Also streaming some video seems to be slower on my sgs2 vs my cappy at times. Any tips/advice...?

BTW..my device is vanilla as of yet...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Well, at present, I'm on Cognition. So, I can't give an exact parallel as far as circumstances and setups; however, my phone is extremely fast when running on my wifi connection at home. I haven't really focused much on the reception, but from what I remember it has been excellent as well. If I'm in the same room, it's completely full. If I'm elsewhere in the house I still tend to have decent reception(more than just the one bar).

I'm not sure what to suggest for better performance outside of possibly considering flashing an alternative ROM instead of just running it stock. The process, overall, is honestly quite simple. I do understand though that some people like to run the phone the way that it came out of the box. It's just a suggestion.

Outside of that I mean maybe an issue between your router and your phone, but honestly I doubt that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NYG:
I appreciate the response. I'm puzzled by this...as I am no expert I'm also not new to flashing roms. My cappy is on a modded rom. I'm just giving the devs time to work out the bugs! Thanx again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The BCM4330 used in a LOT of mobile devices just plain doesn't seem to like some routers.

At my home, the signal strength always looks low before connecting on my GS2, Tab 10.1, and Infuse (All BCM4330) - then it suddenly looks better when I connect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Hates D-Link (battery drain, loss of range).

Loves Netgear (less battery drain than HSPA, excellent range).

At least that's the case with the international version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Have a NetGear and my wifi flies. of the couple dozen or so routers I have set up for family and friends NetGear seem to always be the easiest to set up, connect the most consistently, and give the best all around speeds for both net surfing and console gaming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
My phone was downloading normal speeds earlier. Then I rooted in and flashed Cognition X2 beta 4.

Now my speeds are REALLY slow. (takes forever to download something as small as 4 Mb...)

Idk if anyone else is having the same issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xlr8shun:
check your router for firmware updates, if there are, appy them and then retest if your speeds are still slow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NYG:
Interesting..as I am using a d-link gaming router. Will have to check into firmware update..had the router a few years never updated it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xlr8shun:
ive had a number of friends that get new phones and have complaints like:

whats wrong with my phone it wont connect to my router, or get sporadic connections, drop for no reason, slow x-fers...

first thing i do is update the firmware, you'd be suprised at how many issues can get 'fixed' when your router gets updated.

so, i'd start there first..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NYG:
Yea, I'm going to give that a try..thanks for the heads up..!

For you cheap fools like me :)

300k ohm resistance between pins 4 & 5 also does the trick.

i happened to have a couple spare usb cables and resistors. and can confirm 300k ohm resistance measured with my trusty cheapo ohmeter between pins 4&5 resets the counter and throws the device into update mode.

Yeah cuz $2-$3 is mad money. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
Hell, my time is worth more than $2... I'd have to drive to Tanner to pick up the resistor (They're the only place I buy such sundries, and I'm pretty sure I don't have a 300k Ohm resistor in the tool kit, and they're 20 minutes from work) and then break down a micro usb cable and solder it together. Pass.... $2 from eBay and I'm golden.

Wurrrrd! I paid $3 from a US seller on Amazon. I ordered it Sunday night and here it is in the mail already and already reset my counter. Priceless! Can't think of any reason to go about the fuss of trying to rig one up when you can get one shipped to your home for the price of a bottle of water.

Does anyone know of a way to securely encrypt the removable micro-SD card (and any other folders) ?

To date the best fit solution I have found is to use Tasker (via the dinglish website) which, all things considered is actually a very happy compromise, when considering all the other feature-rich customisation advantages it offers

but I was wondering if there are any other Truecrypt or FreeOTFE type options out there which don't decrypt a copy when you want to use a file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] babujnik:
you can use LUKS manager from market.

but as i know, you will be able only to create crypted containet in a internal sdcard...

hi, i've a HD2 at the moment, but i want something to game on. i've no need for dual core phones best benchmarks etc. so i think of buying myself a used xperia play for low money. but there are some things im interested in:

-are the games free?

-can custom firmware be flashed like on HD2 with cwr?

-is there any program out like the HD2 toolkit to make a task29 and things like that?

i would appreciate every help

your's joe
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
I had an Atrix which is a dual core with a gig of ram and this phone is pretty dang sweet considering it has 1/2 the specs. Heck if you showed me both phones with no specs I would think this one had better specs especially after I unlocked the boot loader. I got lucky and my XP can OC to 1.9GHz with an under volt no less.

To answer your questions...

1. Yes a lot of games are free on the market and there's a paid app free everyday on Amazon market. The more 3d games from game loft and EA do cost a little but EA has a thing now where like 3-4 are free. It can also emulate anything up to a ps 1, so nes,snes,Genesis, n64(relatively well) psxperia can play ps1 games perfect.

2. Yes there's roms and cm7 is now pretty much a daily driver for gsm phones, cdma is lagging behind due to lack of source.

3. Not sure what that is sorry.

To be honest this is the most fav phone I've owned next to my iPhone 2g because it was so innovative. This phone gets a big thumbs up from me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
3) Task 29 is a HTC/Windows Mobile thing... It's been that long since i sold my HTC HD i forgot the name of that program where you run Task 29 :D

Anyway it's easer on the play. We can use fastboot to format partitions, so to format system partition we can just boot into fastboot and type in "fastboot erase system"

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
You'll want to PM the OP in this thread, he unlocked my boot loader/sim in like 15 minutes and he's really cool. It's $24 and you'll need a paper clip or wire. After you finish unlocking it your sim is unlocked and you can flash new roms/kernels and OC your phone and other fun stuff.

about a week ago and was told "Shipping in two to three weeks".

Well, hallelujah, it shipped yesterday.

I will post a full review when it arrives.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rcy1:
Well, this thing arrived earlier this week. I'm not happy, but before I get into a rant, let me see how Gumdrop deals with the issue. The issue is - I specifically bought the Military Edition for the microfilm dust filters and.....there're aren't any. I paid $10 more than the regular case, for a...regular case, but in green. Other than that, the case looks like it offers some serious protection for the Tab.

So far, their response has been underwhelming. The have offered a 10% refund. Well, I'm not the best at math, but if I have done this right...10% of $59.95 is $5.99. A regular non military case is $10 cheaper. I'm still getting the short end of the stick.

I've politely declined their offer and asked for a full refund, item to be shipped back at THEIR expense. Does this seem reasonable, as the item I received is not the item that I paid for?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] cmscritic:
The case of the rotten case

Sounds reasonable to me. If you used PayPal or CC just dispute it if they say no.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rcy1:
OK, Kudos to Gumdrop for responding quickly and satifactorily. I didn't realize that the military case comes with a clear plastic shield for the camera lens which the regular case doesn't. So it's not the exact same case as the regular. This is why I was offered 10% instead of $10.

They've offered to send me a shipping label and I can return the item for a full refund. I really wanted the dust filters, so I might take them up on the offer.

Anyway, good customer service and the case itself is well designed and offers what appears to be significant protection (I'm not going to purposely drop it to find out though).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
It would take the $5.99 they are offering and go buy some thin cloth filter material similar to the material or composition of some reusable shopping bags and cut some strips to cover the speaker holes, glue it to the inner edge pieces or just place it there and call it a day.
