Hi,

My WINCE6 runs with a resolution of 1024x600 so ceFFM-0.4.0 gives an error of unsupported resolution.

Is there anyway around this problem?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sotto2k:
I just installed ceFFM-0.4.0 from SD card and during installation i got error: " Couldn't create shortcut '\SDMMC\ceFFM-04.4.0\programs\imgviewer.Ink' to ' "\SDMMC\ceFFM-04.0\program files's\office-apps\File Viewers\imageviewer.exe" '

Line 2481(\SDMMC\ceFFM-0.4.0\ceFFM.mscr):CreateShortcut(Ink,vwrexe,1)

I hit ok and installation Finishing, after restart message appears, i disconnected SD card and i left to make software restart. so far so good until now

After restart i plugged SD card again and i set the gps navi path to CEMenu.exe and i got another error : " Can't load Image \SDMMC\ceFFM-0.4.0\icons\extern\QuranSR.png" I check the path and saw that is wrong SDMMC\ceFFM-0.4.0\CEMenu-icons .

Now i wonder where i can modify the path to start the program correctly ?

Hi, I don't know if this is still in development as the last post was about 1 year ago. However this appears to be just what I'm looking for for my Chinese WinCE6 portable sat-nav device.

However I am having some problems the same as the last post that didn't get any replies.

So basically I followed the instructions but during the installation I got some errors as follows:

Having OK'd all the error messages the installation then completed with the message "installed successfully". However when restarting now the following message is displayed:

Bearing in mind the completely automated nature of the installation I don't really see where I could have gone wrong. The only place where I had any input was where the installation asked for the path to the internal storage to which I selected 'ResidentFlash'.

Any help would be gratefully received. I do hope the developer is still actively working on this.

Thanks for any help.

I tried to install this one a 7" double din WinCE 6.0 car stereo

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Car-Stereo-Audio-Double-2DIN-Bluetooth-Touch-MP3-Player-USB-FM-Radio-Wince6-0/262987560636?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It didn't seem to install correctly as I don't see the UI come up after installation. I thought I was playing it safe by installing with option AutoStartCeFFMAtBootTime=0 and install to SD-card.

When that didn't work, I tried again, but this time, no storage mounts were found.

I tried to start over by uninstalling, but the uninstall portion of the script (ceFFM.mscr) has some errors. I corrected the errors, then try the uninstall again, but the uninstall keep popping up messages that it couldn't delete a certain file. I just keep pressing ok.... But it actually was deleting some files. I didn't pay too close attention, but it was running this line of the script "DelTree(dir"*.*")", but on the NANDFLASH dir! This wiped out all my necessary application files and now my head unit is basically useless.... does anyone have any idea how I might do a restore?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nibxur:
Thanks!

I bit behind the times... but bought a Wince6 unit & the GUI sux!

Going to use your ceFFM ... looks fun! I got the 0.4.0 package.

Is there another d/l link fro an update?

THX MUCH!

Oops, looks like the topic is dead.

Anyway, if by any chance someone is still interested in old GPS devices like me, I strongly advise

to look for software and information at https://www.hpcfactor.com/ Its a very old handheld pc

website and there's a lot of software there. Unfortunately everything is behind a "paywall" of £10,

which i have paid and can help with the resources they have. theres also a hpc forum with so much

information. I have gathered a lot of software for my gps and can share it with anyone interested,

if there even is someone like that.

And i have a question, the ceFFM-Extensions-v3.ZIP link is dead and i cannot find any working ones.

Does anyone have the zip downloaded or have any way to get it?

Thanks

CEFFM Problem

Hi Thanks for your excellent work. I do however seem to be having a problem. I have a Chinese 7" D-Din unit that has an SD card for the GPS program. I unzipped CEFFM, installed the file (unchanged) to the card and inserted the card to the unit. I directed the navigation button to the new path of storage card/ceffm/ceffm.exe. I started the Nav. and the screen went grey with a message saying it was installed ok,next I got a new screen saying 'welcome you to the inside' it appears to be loading as a progress bar moves along the bottom, when the progress bar has completed (2-3 seconds) the screen returns to my original Nav. options screen. Each subsequent press of the Nav. button repeats all of the above. I have tried re-directing the SD path to ceffmlaunch.exe which did nothing different but changing to ceffmmenu.exe did bring up the shell program but a lot of the CE programs don't seem to run from there. Do you have any suggestions? This would be brilliant to have working on my unit. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
ceFFM neither shows a welcome-screen, nor it shows a progress-bar at screen's bottom. If message "Verifying ceFFM's installation, this may take some seconds... DONE" is shown, and in file 'ceFFM.ini' key AutoStart is set to 1 (default setting), then after the programmatical soft-reset ceFFM should automatically load and run.

At first glance your issues look weird to me, I cannot re-construct them. Hence please show me contents of

1) file 'ceFFM.ini'

2) registry entry 'HKLM\init'

3) file '\<internal flashdrive>\ceFFMLaunch.ini'

so I can get a better overview.

Can you please enumerate this 'lot of CE programs'?

TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nonda:
ceFFM Problem

Thanks for your reply I will try to give you the info you need. Contents of ceffm.ini as follows:

InternalDriveName=\StorageCard

ExternalDriveName=\StorageCard

AutoStart=1

ExtendCE=1

I've included 3 pictures, 2 are from the startup and the third is the registry entry for HKLM/init, I hope this is what you wanted. I cannot find any reference to file \ceFFMLaunch.ini in the units flash memory. As regards the programs that do not run when I use the ceffmmenu.exe path, Sirf tools,WM mini GPS,Alarm,Pacman, Monopoly,Pocket Picture and a couple in the Extras 1 has an eye icon and the other has an icon of a globe and a clock. I am still very happy just to be able to use the Win CE side of the unit so I can use the ceffmmenu.exe path. Thanks for looking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thanks for your error-report

A:

1) Image #3 among others shows your device is running CE 5.0, will say OS's registry is not file-based, but RAM-based, means all changes made by ceFFM to the registry are lost if you power-off and/or hard-reset the device. This explains why in HKLM\init (and HKCU\Software\ceFFM) no ceFFM related entries are present, as Image #3 also shows. Therefore your workaround to direct the unit's GPS-path to ceFFMLaunch.exe was well done! Bad thing is, ceFFMLaunch.exe was not copied onto device's internal flashdrive.

2) When installing ceFFM it tries to detect the name used by OS for both the internal flashdrive and the SD-/MMC-card. In your case this miserably failed, only name of SD-/MMC-card correctly was detected.

3) Image #2 has nothing to do with ceFFM, it is Image #1 which shows the status window provided by ceFFM.

B:

Concerning programs not running: games PacMan, MonoPoly, and Scrabble are not implemented yet. NoniView (eye) and WorlClock (globe and clock) should run, same with SiRFTools (except SiRFGPSTweaker, which is a .NET CF application and never should have been in ceFFM - it will be removed in ceFFM's next version) and WMMiniGPS.

Again thanks for your detailed error report. I shall offer here in the next days a new version of ceFFM. Please be patient ...

"2) secondly in folder ceFFM edit configuration file 'ceFFM.ini' according to your needs":confused:

since not every one has the balls to ask what this means in layman's terms i am asking for those in advanced circles or perhaps jwoegerbauer can explain what "according to your needs" means,:confused: since this is my 1st device running wice 6 i got no clue to what all this technical lingo means and i am sure there is a lot more people that come across this tread and just simply can`t bring themselves to admit that they do not understand, we all have to learn some of this new terminology when trying new thing these days.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Customizing ceFFM

Let me explain what "according to your needs" means:

ceFFM (currently) allows you to enable/disable 2 features as these are

AutoStart=1|0 (1 = default)

ExtendCE=1|0 (1 = default)

You set a feature to 1, if you want to enable it, you set a feature to 0, if you want to disable it. Thought this should be obvious to everybody.

Example, as mentioned in post #1 under "Installation": If in configuration file 'ceFFM.ini' key AutoStart is set to 1, ceFFM attempts to add itself to device's registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init key as the last startup application possible, thus it is started automatically when device boots.

Next ceFFM version's 'ceFFM.ini' will look as follows:

;ceFFM.ini
;
;This configuration file allows you to set some flags that are read by ceFFM at
;runtime.
;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
;Set Autostart to 1 if you want ceFFM to start at boot time.

re:Customizing ceFFM

jwoegerbauer

:D Simply Awesome :D explanation, Thank You very much for taking the time to replay, i`m sure there is a lot more people that will benefit from it.

did the install to my device and now i`m very happy to have very nice simple looking menu that is functional:D, now need to find free time to play with it and see if all apps work,

jwoegerbauer is there a easy way to change/customize the reddish background to a different colors (green or blue) just personal preference so it fits the rest of my dash and interior lights.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Modifying ceFFM's Skin (CeMenu)

Yeah, there is no inbuilt wallpaper-/icon-changer, and there never will be one to keep ceFFM as small as possible. But of course you always can change background image / icon images "according to your needs". But you have to invest some time (probably hours).

BTW: You might try out blueish/greenish wallpaper/icons created by popdog54 or any other background image / icon images (.PNG-format).

Your help is required!

@agusmono,

I am really not happy installing ceFFM in your case failed. You can help me to find out the possible reason. Please extract contents of the attached zip to folder where you already put ceFFM in and run "TestDriveNames.exe". Then tell whether the result you are presented is correct.

Thanks in advance for your efforts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kgm01:
Nice stuff - works perfect - thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alois2012:
Simply amazing. Eagerly waiting for final version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SilentlyScreaming:
a) Thanks for the info.

b) I appreciate you're not responsible, I was just posting info obtained from them in case anything jumped out as the reason I couldn't get ceFFM working. Also I guess I'm overly paranoid about "technical" sales staff in this country :)

c) I've changed the mscr to the new version, I still get back:

SD = \Storage Card

FD = \FlashUser

"Given that it won't run from internal flash memory, is this still likely to be the cause for ceFFM falling over?" Also, as I tried to manually edit the INI file to point to "CardA", would this lack of discovery of correct label cause such a big problem? Not arguing, just interested :) (Ah, just noticed that my manual edit of ceFFM.ini to reflect CardA as the ExternalDriveName is reverted the next time ceFFM.exe is run.

d) I appreciate that the CeMenu.exe file shouldn't be directly run, I had just run out of things to try and delve into, in terms of results that might hint at the underlying problem. I hadn't expected it all to magically work at this point, just perhaps open my eyes to something I'd not considered.

Is there a verbose/debug switch/INI config line available? Anything else I can try and do to assist? If not, and you're stumped for now, I'll keep this thread subscribed and just forget about a replacement menu for now. In either case, thanks again.

Two quick thoughts.

Will try again with microSD card physically ejected.

Looking at the reg entry you mentioned in c), I may have spotted a clue...

In cdFFM.mscr, at around line 195, you have

Else
#Search for external flash drives
regpth=""
regpthsdmmc="System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMMC"
regpthsdmemory="System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory"
If(RegValueExists("HKLM",regpthsdmmc,"Folder"))

my HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles does have

SDMemory, but the name and folder values are "SD Memory Card" and "Storage Card" respectively. However, if you continue down to HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory1 , THEN you find the "SD Card A" and "CardA" values that are used on this device for the microSD card slot (only visible slot on the device)!

SDMemory and MMC have no other values in them, but SDMemory1 has the AutoMount, AutoPart and AutoFormat values in it, so I'm further reassured that SDMemory1 is the bit I should be interested in, even if I ignore the matching label for the device's memory card.

oh, btw, as you probably assumed, the microSD being ejected (after a shutdown) made no difference to ceFFM working. You may also gather I'm not a programmer and just scrabbling around in the dark here :) I just tried a little bodge by changing

regpthsdmemory="System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory"

to

regpthsdmemory="System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory1"

in ceFFM.mscr

still no joy, though I could have easily screwed that simple notepad-based task up :)

At time of this writing since 29th November 2011 there were 7,520+ visits and since 18th February 2012 there were 647 downloads (before 262, thus a total of 900+ downloads). Obviously some interest in ceFFM exists.

ceFFM is still Beta. If you guys are interested in this program I will keep it updated, otherwise this will be probably one of the last versions! Please leave your comments, suggestions and ideas here. But do not suggest/request adding .NET CF support, this because doing so would add an unnecessary overhead!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SilentlyScreaming:
Driving to my in-laws in a moment, but just a quick reply for now...

a) Thanks :)

b) In case it catches anyone else out, this release isn't ZIPped up in its own folder (unlike previous releases), so when decompressing, don't forget to use the ceFFM folder on your device, or a newly created one if you are expanding into your PC's downloads folder first :) (Not a complaint, just thought I'd point it out to others).

c) ceFFM still fails to load on my device. It goes through the initial installation OK, reboots fine, when run, it complains about something to do with attributes. I'll post back with exact error message later, working from my somewhat volatile memory here :)

d) Is there a script section I can alter to temporarily enforce verbose feedback? (I'll look into files etc. later when settled at in-laws, just wanted to check with you).

e) Ta again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SilentlyScreaming:
Accurate display of error message (apart from the number of full stops :) ), apologies for the delay, didn't get much free time at the in-laws.

So, I initiate ceFFM after setting the path to ceFFM.exe as the GPS shortcut.

Having already run it for the first time, as mentioned previously, no error messages that I can remember, and device restarts automatically just fine.

Thanks for using ceFFM.

Verifying/fixing ceFFM's installation, this may take some time, please be patient... DONE......................

Then a dramatic short WAV, followed by a ding. The ceFFM full screen grey window disappears, the device's default interface returns, with a little dialogue window stating:

0.3.0 Complaint

Updated to 0.3.0. Now TomTom fails. Searched for the reason why. Probably got it. With 0.3.0 you now adjust storage memory to 0, means to its minimum. Not really good, because TomTom always writes to \Windows\MyDocuments what now is impossible because no space in \Windows is left over.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
RE

@alois2012,

thanks for your complaint: didn't think of this. Will change "optimizing memory" from default to user-selectable option. And I will add user-selectable option "redirect shellfolders" too, thus \Windows\My Documents can be redirected to unit's internal storage device. BTW: I've TomTom 9.10 running, it writes its data (ttnavigator.bif) to drive where TomTom 9.10 is located.

@SilentlyScreaming,

That was well-conceived: this way ceFFM's version becomes part of the folder name, where it easily can be retrieved from. Makes life easier.

This was generated by CEMenue.exe, not by ceFFM.exe. Don't know what's the reason for, perhaps file startup.cemenu (startup480x272.cemenu) corrupted?

In any case you implicitly reported, autostarting ceFFM works as expected.
