[Windows Mobile Software Development] brotherman:
Hey there JR. As far as WinMo development, here's a list of the basic tools you need:

1. Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1 + patches (or VS 2010 which is in beta now)

2. Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh (device and cellular emulators, some samples, download from msdn.microsoft.com)

3. Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit (6.5 emulator images, gestures API etc - also at msdn.microsoft.com)

Assuming you will be writing managed code, the most widely used language is C#.

As far as books, unfortunately WInMo is not getting much love these days (hopefully this will change with WinMo 7) so there's little new but the best book out there IMO is "Microsoft Mobile Development Handbook" by Andy Wigley (2007).

The good news is that there's a plethora of on-line material, easily accessible from the aggregate Search screen in Visual Studio. Sites like codeguru.com, social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobiledev, www.c-sharpcorner.com, www.codeproject.com, 4guysfromrolla.com etc are your best friends!

I hope this gets you started! Best of luck with the project.

Writing in C#.NET Compact -- you have no worries for 'safety', unless you literally do a File.Delete("/Windows/blah");, you should be okay ;P

But yes, It is based off of the big .NET Framework. So if you can do .NET, you can do .NETCF.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zzattack:
I don't agree. In .NET you usually do not need to worry about performance, you usually get away just fine by using a simple approach at the cost of a small bit of performance. On .NET CF you certainly need all the performance you can get. Also, the .NET Compact Framework is heavily stripped down and for a lot of tasks you need to find an alternative, innovative solution.

my problem is other way around!

My HTC Hero doesn't detect PC Connection when I connect it using USB cable. Doesnt matter whether I connect USB cable to charger or PC the charging LED turns on.

I had MoDaCo 2.7 rom previously and it was working perfectly, once I upgrade some apps using Android Market (using 3G) after that I connected hero to PC and nothing happen.

I upgrade the rom to MoDaCo 2.9 and new radio file, no success.

Wipe EXT and reinstall MoDaCo 2.9 and new radio file, no success.

I think it should be software problem not a hardware problem, since when I m in "fastboot (PWR + BACK)" when I connect USB cable it should USB in RED color in front of FASTBOOT.

please help! any idea? suggestion? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] justbabu:
Did you mount the SD card to USB from the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
My problem is that it doesnt show me any mount option at all!

it used to when connected shows some USB PC Connection icon in shade bar on top left of screen sp I scroll it down click on it and tap on mount button. but now nothing happen! shows nothing! it is like my Hero doesnt detect PC connection and just charges. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
Any one has same problem with MoDaco Roms? is it because of Roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
Today I booted into fastboot and when I ran "fastboot devices" command on my PC I can see name of my device on PC. also on Hero I can see a text in red "FASTBOOT USB" can I do something here to fix my problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
I used GParted to merge Fat32 Ex3 and Swap partitions on SD card and make it as one Fat32 partition... reformat SD card... still when I connect Hero to PC this error pop up "USB Device not recognised!"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
Downgrade my radio to 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Downgrade the rom to MoDaco v2.5

USB Device Not recognized disappeared! and nothing happen...

no success!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
Restore to Original backup using Nandroid Restore 2.2.

no success!

usb connect

Hi

for me with Rom modaco 2.9 usb detection ok i can mount sd but i have lost the HTC sync use. (All working with the last modaco rom):confused:.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
so you used to have same problem? did u wipe data before rom upgrade? did u install new radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
thus usb problem seems to be becoming a common virus for hero. previously we had 2-3 users with same prob. now another 1. man this is scarry. i imported my hero and dont have warranty. so anything happens to me hero i am ruined.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
Yeah! it is a annoying problem... I found some other people in other forum they have same problem...currently no solution... I ll ship back my phone for warranty, maybe they change the motherboard for me. but I feel like it is not a hardware problem since in fastboot not only PC detect my hero but also I can run fastboot commands.

it is good to inform people who are going to buy hero from Ebay to be carful especially those in HK, this problem is popular among them. mine was shipped from there.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
bro did u try flashing to all other firmwares available? a diff rom might solve the prob. just a thought.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
The problem happen after I upgrade some application while I was using MoDaco 2.3 Rom. Then I flashed MoDaCo 2.9 Rom with new radio then I downgraded to MoDaco 2.5 (I read in other post that this version of rom can solve the problem) and then I restore my original back which contain original rom came from factory... all same result without any different. Now I m using modaco 2.9 with last radio I dont know any other rom that I can try...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
bro cud u plz try modaco 2.8?

my wifi stops working with dhcp in modaco 2.7 and 2.9. modaco 2.6 and 2.8 gives me auto ip from dhcp. so i use modaco 2.8.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
I flashed v2.8... same result still cannot detect pc connection! I m going to flash one of the original roms and ship it back...

still I feel like it is a software problem... some directories need to be flashed or reset... perhaps some directories not reset even you flash new rom... anyone has any idea about that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mika91:
Hi,

Any news about this lack of USB conexion ?

Same problem with my 32A Magic (Sapphire)

Fastboot USB is ok, but no USB on any ROM :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
OH! this problem is spreading!

Can you please tell what happen to your Magic then you get this problem? since still there is not actual solution for that. you can try solution mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4837803&postcount=18 if not just ship back your Magic for warrany: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4965845&postcount=39
[Hero, G2 Touch General] trick202:
I am having this too, and I'm on the original Orange ROM (after being on 2.2 a while back).

A presumed it was a windows 7 issue, since that is the only thing to have changed for me since I flashed last time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mika91:
I don't know what happens.

One day it was working, and the day after, not !!!

I'm using win xp3, but I tried to connect this week-end into win 7.

And the problem appeared during the week-end.

So this is maybe a way to investigate !
[Hero, G2 Touch General] omokas:
The only problem that I had was MoDaCo 2.8 version and Amon_RA's recovery v1.3.2 formated my card and when I connected to my PC (Win7 and WinXP) there were some folders with names "x$eo(*vs" and some weird sizes of 9GB and 10GB (while my card was 2GB).

I changed to a new card (as I formated the old one with many ways) and everything became back to normal :)

I had also a "USB not recognised" problem but I changed the drivers again and changed to another usb port and everything WORKED :) I used Windows XP 32bit on a laptop TOSHIBA A200. On my PC with Windows 7 I never got it to work.

Sd Card not connecting

Hi, I had the same problem for weeks. I tried everything to fix my problem with my htc hero only charging when connected but I was not able to access the sd. For me It turned out that the usb cord that came with the phone was somehow damaged. So I changed the usb cord with another one that I had and now it connects ok. Hope this helps

That's it ! I meant mostly those apps with really new features
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
The title of your thread is somewhat misleading, giving that there is no fully functional Donut ROM for the Hero. ;)

I'd guess that some Android 2.0 apps won't use any APIs that were not in Cupcake/Donut, so I'd imagine they would run fine. However, others will rely on features only present in the 2.0 APIs, so these won't run.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkoouu:
You mean "Eclair apps on Donut" means "there is no fully functional Donut ROM for the Hero" ? I don't follow ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
I'm guessing he ment that hero runs cupcake not donut ;-p which again means your threat is misleading as it says donut in the topic..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
I mean your title suggests that you want to run "Eclair apps on Donut", yet the Hero doesn't run Donut, it runs Cupcake!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kas206:
Have you got a download link for the new Eclair facebook app please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
Is it really worth the effort? We'll have Eclair from HTC in a couple months. I can use my phone with pure cupcake until then. Just my two cents.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkoouu:
You are right, but still it looks to me there is much less effort ( and more sense ) than working on a Cupcake or Donut roms ... will try Google maps during weekend and update ...

Speaking as a woman finding themes is hard. Seeing as how I hate blue, green and find black boring. I lean more toward Red, Purple and Golds. It is very hard when you have no talent to make these yourself. I for one am one of these people, so I have to rely on people who have talent in this area.

I found a bling theme that I love wish someone would do it for TP2 it can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468044 I did try it on my TP2 and ended up doing a hard reset.

But I have found some ROM's you can't do background on all, but with b16b Sense 23506 I can use this attached Rose theme. A very kind person over in the HD Wallpaper thread made it for me.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bigred007:
I am not sure what the problem could be, or where there may be a setting that I'm overlooking, but my laptop pulls 19 mbs and I can only get my tilt 2 to grab about .8 at the most over my wifi network, even if I'm sitting right next to my wifi router. What could the problem be? I've tried both browsers, and right after a soft reset. I've also got the wifi slider all the way to performance (if that actually makes any difference).

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bigred007:
Is it possible that I may need to change a setting within my wireless router? Is there anything to tweak in the wifi settings that could make a difference?

Copied the following onto my Android's SD card:

http://cid-3cf744d4c83401e6.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public

build.prop

build.sapphire.prop

Maps.apk

Unplugged my phone and waited for it to prep the SD card

Fired up the application Terminal Emulator

Typed the following commands:

Code:

suYour phone may prompt you to allow or not allow this, allow it obviously, otherwise wait until you see a # before continuing to the next command

Code:

ashCode:

mount -o remount,rw /systemNext it's time to copy the build files into your system directory, but first you should backup the originals just in case.

Code:

cp /sdcard/build.prop /system

cp /sdcard/build.sapphire.prop /systemRemove the existing Google Maps app

Code:

cd /data/app

rm *Maps*

rm *maps*Code:

when i did this it siad it did not exist but i just keep going!!!

cd /data/dalvik-cache

rm *Maps*

rm *maps***END OF UPDATE**

All done with this part, time to reboot.

Code:

rebootGetting force close prompts for Google Voice? Yeah, go ahead and do the force close. Be sure to wait until your phone is done booting.

Now it's time to actually install the new app. So again, open up Terminal Emulator and type the following code:

Code:

suAgain, allow this command and/or wait until you see a # character

Code:

ash

mount -o remount,rw /system

install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/At this point, I couldn't get things to work like the second post I linked earlier, so I'll did this command...

Code:

rebootGetting force close prompts for Google Voice again? Close the sucker and wait until your phone is fully booted.

Ok the app is installed and you may be thinking you're good to go, but you aren't. It's still not working for you like it wouldn't work for me. Do you have Google Voice installed before you did all this stuff? Most likely!

Go into your phone's settings and Manage Applications

Uninstall Google Voice

Fire up the Market and search for Google Voice

Install Google Voice

Reboot your phone (You can do this by holding the power button and select "reboot phone" or the long way through Terminal Emulator)

Run the Map app (now you may have your old address in there that you tried earlier, never fear. Just clear the map from the map menu)

Put in some directions like you normally would

You should see the option for "Navigate" after it gets the directions. Click it.

Accept the installation of the voice guide thingy

You're done! Revel in the awesomeness!

Get a beer and laugh at your friends with an iPhone

these is what i did exactley and it worked for me

It seems that the very last version of Shazam can be found on the MarketPlace (UK/US only).

This version displays the band, song title, album name, genre, music label and date tagged and also gives the option to view the group’s biography and discography.

You can also search similar music, save tags and share them via SMS/Email.

FOR SAPPHIRE

I read a post earlier about fixing some apps not working.

in build.prop

change to 4 instead of 5.

ro.build.version.sdk=4

Did this and re-ran part 1 and part 2. Works fine with Handcent and facebook app working. haven't got any FC with other apps and navigation still working after a few hours and some reboots.

Uploaded a new .rar with changes to build.prop

http://www.mediafire.com/?jwhmkzay2mm

Extract All to Desktop

Run part 1 - when prompted hit any key and phone will reboot.

when up and running, run part 2.

Test nav by opening google maps and geting directions. Underneath "Show on Maps" you should see "Navigate" If you don't try installing Google Voice (fixed it for a lot of people)

If you did the above and Navigate isn't working, here is a link to the build.prop version that causes some app errors but gets nav Working

Google Nav only works in the US

:mad:

NOTE: Currently Google Nav will only work in the US.

You can get it running (as in install the app) on phones elsewhere in the world, but to actual use the Navigate feature you have to have the GPS turned on (duh) so it knows where you are, and due to licensing issues (I think) the Navigate feature will not work if you are not in the US.
