you need to go and read these forums, the wiki and get a btter understanding of your device and system before asking these questions

especially as once youve done all the required reading etc, you will realise that the questions you are asking eother dont have answers, dont exist or are just soooo poorly informed you shouldnt even be asking them

sorry if that sounds harsh, but as this is primarily a developers forum rather than a noobies "hold my hand while i walk through the valley of WM darkness" forum, i dont think it is harsh to say that you need to go and educate yourself on the very basics of your device and OS before trying to mess with it

i have had WM machines for a fair few years, i did not flash roms for at least 2 years as i had lots to learn and tweak before flashing the ROM was going to be worth it for me

ps WM6.5 doesnt formally exist yet, WM7 wont be out for at least a year
[Touch HD General] Psyberd:
There are ROMs with WM 6.5 but they are mostly VERY beta with some things not fully working and a bit buggy. but there are as far as I know no WM7 stuff at all available. and WM 7 could pose a problem as MS has a new hardware requirement spec thats different. One being requirement of a "Windows" button.

The current is 6.1 and if you want the newest stuff get a ROM with the new Manila 3. It is slightly buggy but the bugs are being worked out

Please learn to use the search function!

there's a wondeful image viewer that's freeware on this forum, developed by one of the members.

ill give you a clue to start searching with "slide 2"

his other apps include a player and an unlocker.

If it's iphone alike apps you want A_C is your man..

Also if you want freeware try www.freewareppc.com (most of "their" apps come from this forum anyway)!

Today, while opening ASTRO, I got a message saying "This beta version will expire in 7 days" =/ Anyone else get this message?? I don't know what version I have (I think it may be 1.2) but I also don't remember it being a beta version either.... WTF....
[G1 Apps and Games] crackmunky:
Same here, got the "7 days remaining thing". Astro is good but im not going to pay for a file viewer, no way.

beat me to it. i got sidetracked at work and meant to post about this. guess paid version is coming.
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
when u first install astro it tells you that its only a beta

and that it will expire after like so many days

[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
I emailed the developer asking if it would be a paid app & how much but I haven't gotten a response yet. I'll post here if I get a response... If someone doesn't beat me to it
[G1 Apps and Games] blackknightavalon:
I already e-mailed the developer about this. I got this reply on March 3:

I see one of two solutions:

1) We wait for a paid version.

2) Does anyone have an old copy of Bender that didn't have an expiration date?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
I am just gonna use discover- i love this app and will pay for it when google decide to let us aussies pay for stuff. Sure it doesn't do the autobackup of apps but thats what terminal and cp -r are for!! my apps are on sd anyway.

[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
In australia, note the post. Australia doesn't have access to paid apps yet through the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
New update in the market! Still FREE!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
yes- i am in australia.. hehe....

anyway, i have been trying the linda file manager since i got the beta message- i think i may prefer that instead......

update looks ok. needs to add wifi like discover....
[G1 Apps and Games] gPhunk:
After searching for a Paid version of ASTRO, I came across a newer version "ASTRO File Manager" that doesn't expire until 5/15. This should hold me over until someone posts the original Bender .apk or we find a more suitable alternative. (Not crazy about Linda File Manager)
[G1 Apps and Games] jusplainmike:
After wondering what would happen if I changed the date on my phone I discovered that the time remaining is related to your system date. I set the date after the expiration time and Astro still worked fine. Maybe this could be a possible work around for beta apps in the future?
[G1 Apps and Games] nirvana2645:
Question about Astro File Manager!

I've been using Astro for the past 2 weeks I've had my G1 and its been a great file manager. However, for some reason I can't change the file names of any zip files in my sd card through it... like ok, i used to do this in order to change themes straight from my phone but now when i change the name, it says "file cannot be renamed" and it simply creates an empty zip file named after w.e it is i attempted to rename my initial file in the first place.

Any idea why this is happening now? I actually got an update this morning, and i thought the update would fix this issue but it hasn't.
[G1 Apps and Games] derekb77:
there should be a repository of old .apk files so we can use the older apps when these developers decide to start charging for apps that were once free. the beauty of opensource software is eventually most paid apps will have some sort of free alternative as people keep developing for android. for example tetherWifi was free at first and then the developer started charging $8.95. i bought the app because i needed it but a couple weeks later Wifi Tether for Root users came out for free. So if they start charging for Astro after the beta period i'll just switch to a free alternative.
[General Questions and Answers] casinatorcxc:
I am new to WM and I love all of the customization that can be done. I am looking at a few different apps to run along with SPB Shell and I can't decide what to do. I have three apps I am looking into all with pros and cons. If anyone can help point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!

Phone Extension

The main thing I like about this app is the fact that it has a dialer. Dialers seem to be few and far between on the Omnia (WQVGA). Everything else here is good but doesn't really jump out and grab me like the other two. When scrolling through the contacts it tends to get jumpy somtimes.

PocketCM

I love this app (especially with the htctoucher gloss theme) but it is missing two key components: a dialer and a call log (I know you can look at it along with sms, but I would like a separate one). My favorite part has to be the SMS feature. It looks so professional and I love the text bubbles. It does have a tendency to jump around and not run as smooth as the Resco Contact though. With a dialer and a call log I would definitely go with this (if I could get it to run a little smoother that would be better too). I saw that Htctoucher has a gloss dialer that goes well with the contact manager but it doesn't work in WQVGA.

Resco Contact Manager

This program runs the best of the three but I would like for it to be skinable or at least have another color option. It definitely runs the smoothest of the three, but it also is missing a dialer. I like how it has a threaded read of your text messages but I wish it had one that functioned more like PocketCM's. One that had the look with the text bubbles, and one that allowed you to type right at the bottom of the screen while still seeing the other messages. This program does run with two flaws though. The phonepad doesn't stay up when I hit the button sometimes and the taskbar displays at the top over the program.

In all I am looking for an SMS app that looks like the one in PocketCM, very professional and lets me type while seeing my old messages (I tried out SmileySMS but it's not nearly the same). If possible I would like that to be integrated into a contact manager with pictures in the contact list and a call log to show all incoming, outgoing, and missed calls. And finally a dialer that goes along with the other two. Oh and if you could get all of that to run smoothly together that would be amazing.

Thanks!

(I am know I am being picky, but I figure I would see what thoughts others had. Thanks in advance!)

Welcome to xda-devs! Glad to have you with us. I'm just telling you before the mods yell at you, you need to post all questions in the Q&A section.
[General Questions and Answers] casinatorcxc:
Sorry about that, I told you I'm new right :)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Zoltair Wright:
No problem, just thought I'd warn you. ;)

BTW, have you checked out iDialer and iContact? They're seperate programs that have been programmed to work very well together. I don't know if they support WQVGA but it might be worth taking a look.

The SMS thing is harder to do. I've been wishing for a better SMS interface for a while, the best I've seen is unfortunately not freeware, it's made by VITO.

Hi everyone,

I have started looking into using a PS3 controller as an input device for my Diamond.

I want the adility to play games using a PS3 contoller over bluetooth, as the device doesnt have good controls for games. I have managed to get my ps3 controller to work over usb on my pc :) Next step is to get my controller over blueooth to my pc, I will keep updating this thread

I have found some useful web pages

how get input from PS3 controller over wired with source code: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/wiredps3axis.aspx

How to get ps3 controller over bluetooth on linux with source code: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=199246

I dont really know what Im doing when it comes to wm6 and making a device work with wm6. I dont know much about the bluetooth stack either. I will probably need to write some sort of a driver at some point. To catch the input from the controller and convert it into a command on my diamond.

So any help of any kind would be great. Any problems you can see with my plan?

Sorry not sure if this is the right place to put this thread so move if you want.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Well, that didnt go to well.

The controller is appearing in my bluetooth manager on my pc, but i cant connect or query its services.

Now Im really stuck :confused:

if someone could help me get some trace data from the connection, or enlighten me to a way of getting some information out of the bluetooth stack.

Thx,

Chris McNamee
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vijay555:
Assuming that the PS3 doesn't use a proprietary communication protocol that can't be reverse engineered, this should be possible.

However, I suggest looking here first to get source and discussion re use of the Wii mote on the PPC first.

Then re implement the PS3's control mechanisms.

There's further discussions here:

Cheers vijay555, :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Hmmmm

Thanks vijay555

There is some excellent information on some of those links, but will need to get a wiimote. I cant tell if the drivers have been loaded by the wm6 :confused:

but i was wondering, how does wm6 know which device its talking to over bluetooth?

It must be via a device serial or something, but what is the term for it?

like i said im a bit of a novice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Yeah, now we're cooking

I found an alternative, the wii remote/classic controller it uses bluetooth and there is lots of source code and examples :D

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wiiuse/

it comes with a libaray for windows and an example of how to use :D

all the source code is there to downloading :D

Now all I need is a wii remote :(

and to get it going on my pc, then port to PPC.

Then I need to write a frontend to control what action on the mote do on my PPC. Should be easy

:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mgs333:
sounds like an interesting project, keep us updated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
It has begun

Yesterday I bought a wii controller and got it talking to my pc using the wiiuse.

Wiiuse is open source and it has code already to interpret the controls of the wiimote, including the ir sensing, accelerometer, wii nunchuck, and the classic controller. Which we be very useful, as I dont need to work it out myself.

Also I have got wiimob, kind of working. It uses a library called bluetools to controller the bluetooth (which is pay for, so will need to find/make an alternative at some point but works for now). I have got to the point the author got stuck at (comment in the code says he never got passed), so Im kind of on my own now. Wiimob can search for wiimotes, then search it services but fails when trying to get a stream to the service. Im pretty sure this is because the RemoteService class returned by the bluetools doesnt have the correct GUID, which cause the connection to be refused by the remote device as it doesnt exist.

It is all looking very promising at the min :D

next steps:

get the bluetools talking to a service on my pc and see if I get the right GUID to determine if its the bluetools code which is failing to get the GUID or the wiimote not giving its GUID for the service.

Will post back with any news
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Interesting

It seems that the library doesnt want to connect to a human input device, it wont connect to the wiimote or my bluetooth keyboard. It does seem to work to other services like Obex file transfer.

Hmmm, what?

Guess I found try and find some samples of people using this library and human input device or find a new library. Im not really up for trying to create my own at the min, as it would take a while
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
O dear

Its really not going well, either my knowledge isnt up to the job or it cant be done.

I have tried hard, but windows mobile is missing the all important hid.dll driver to get a listing of pair bluetooth hid devices so i can open a handle to the device. So I then looked into opening a connection myself and bypassing the hid driver, but from what I can work out it needs two l2cap connections open to the device, 1 on channel 11 for writing and another on channel 13 for reading data. But windows mobile doesnt have an api to access the l2cap layer of the bluetooth stack, the layer down (hci) can be extended but this would take along time to implement as I would then have to implement the l2cap layer myself.

Its turning into a losing battle, I really now doubting that I can do this.

The only idea left is how does the windows mobile use a bluetooth keybaord, does it use a generic driver which it extends or is it complete in its self. If it does uses a generic driver, i need to find some doc.

If anyone has any advice about how to implement l2cap connection or any thing about connecting to a hid device in windows mobile I would be very greatful.

Thanks guys,

But I think this is dead, like many other projects to try and get windows mobile work with a wiimote.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] itoYo:
i owuld like to help but not got a clue about these things! keep up the good work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Well, any suggestions

Hmm, the wiimote uses bluetooth hid profile to communicate which talks over a l2cap connection. HID profile uses the universal serial bus (USB) architecture but send data over bluetooth

http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Technology/Works/HID.htm

I have two options from what i can see

1. Well, I have found source for a sample keybaord device which I could rip off but cant get it to compile :(

2. Gain access to the L2CAP layer of the bluetooth stack by extending the stack with some of my own code. Then create my own connections to the wiimote and start sending and receiving reports to the device.

Any suggestions on the best approach?

both will take alot of time either way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:
Hmm,

The L2CAP sample code requires some of the core dll for wm. These include coredll.dll and the btd.dll

during the build linking fails as I dont have the lib files, to get the lib files I need to build the os, as these files can change depending on the options specified during the build. :( I dont really want to do this, as it will limit the software to only one os version of wm, the one i build against.

Next question is can I do a library call and get the function points at runtime?

Well I think I may have to ask on a new thread. I hope so, as it would over come alot of problems, and it wouldnt limit the code to certain versions of the wm
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcnamee:

If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.
