[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibyte:
Hello there,

To keep the story short, i want to make an IR Remote control software for my Windows Mobile 5.0 powered Asus A696 using the Serial port communication class from .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and i'm coding C#.

THIS IS WHEN THE FORM OPENS:

//Create and open serial port

Infrarosu = new SerialPort("COM3");

if (Infrarosu.IsOpen == false)

{

Infrarosu.BaudRate = 9600;

Infrarosu.Open();

if (Infrarosu.IsOpen)

this.statusBar1.Text="Am deschis portul!";

}

//Remote code for Power button on a WDTV

hexString = "900A 0068 0000 0001 8479 12ED";

//Transform from HEX STRING to BYTES[] using a class from CodeProject

byteArray = HexEncoding.GetBytes(hexString, out discarded);

THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXECUTE WHEN A BUTTON IS CLICKED:

try

{

this.statusBar1.Text = "";

Infrarosu.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);

for (i=1;i<=byteArray.Length;i++)

this.statusBar1.Text = this.statusBar1.Text+""+byteArray.ToString();

}

catch (System.IO.IOException)

{

statusBar1.Text="Exception!";

}

The problem is that at first it threw me the IOException, then after implementing try-catch it said that it sent the data correctly but the wdtv wouldn't power on and now it threw me IOException again.

Does anyone have any ideas, advice or anything that can be useful?

Thanks a million!

is there any possibility how to get some RSS aplication, whitch can read whole message, not only first few lines?

sorry my poor english and THX.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mknollman:
SPB News does exactly this - not free but worth it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tarroyo:
The stock RSS Hub thats found in most rhodium roms does this as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ridolfo:
Rss Hub can only show full articles from feeds that actually publish the full article. A lot of sites only publish a summary, and a link to the full article. In that case, all you'll ever see in Rss Hub is the summary.

Spb News can use templates/scripts to parse the link to the article (or any webpage), and display the full article for any feed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
Kernel compile :

Do it on user not root :

1. Make sure you have an appropriate environment to get the source (git) and to compile the kernel. Install git, gcc, make and libncurses5-dev at least. For Ubuntu based distributions.

apt-get install git-core build-essential libncurses5-dev

2. Create a directory to hold the kernel sources

mkdir ~/htcleo

3. Download the kernel source

cd ~/htcleo

git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git

cd kernel

git checkout -b htc-qsd8k-2.6.29 origin/htc-qsd8k-2.6.29

4. Download and decompress the arm toolchain (64mb)

cd ~/htcleo

wget http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_too...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

tar xjf arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

5. Generate the default .config for the kernel(ARCH is case sensitive)

cd kernel

make htcleo_defconfig ARCH=arm

6. Compile

export PATH=~/htcleo/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH

make Image ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Find your kernel Image in /htcleo/kernel/arch/arm/boot/

Now you can configure your proper kernel :

mousepad (Xfce) or gedit (Gnome) ~/htcleo/kernel/arch/arm/configs/htcleo_defconfig

cd ~/htcleo/kernel

make mrproper

make htcleo_defconfig ARCH=arm

export PATH=~/htcleo/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH (must need once time)

make Image ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

Use git pull in ~/htcleo/kernel to update file and recompile to have the last modified on development

Initrd compile :

Need to be root !

1. Download initrd.gz from other HTC compiled

mkdir initrd (or anything else in propely folder nothing else on)

cd initrd (put your initrd.gz here)

gzip -dc initrd.gz | cpio -id

Now you have all file and folder you can touch and modified

Use mousepad or gedit on root

2. Recompile proper

rm initrd.gz (before do a copy for other instance)

find (all name of folder and file) | cpio --create --format='newc' > initrd

Compile source for Arm :

(root user)

On source folder :

#export ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- PATH=(your path)/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH

#CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

# make

For who want to take time to test and finaly make Android works on HTC Leo.

I thinks all members hav's HTC Leo !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MiZi666:
hey guys..

i really want to use android on my new HD2!

i'm a little-medium (^^) n00b, but spent a lot of time in android on my kaiser.. so i'm not a totally noob, i think.

i can help testing files for you.

so, what do the dev's think, how long did it take to use android on our phones?

greetings
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joplayer:
Thanks for the tip, will try it tomorrow and report what I see
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cass67:
On the wget command supplied you have to right click and copy link location and paste that as the wget url or it wont work, the forum has truncated the text with ... in the middle . use the -O afterwards as shown

Im also not quite understanding this, what is other HTC compiled ? Another set of sources with Android?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
Thread Edit

You can take any one initrd.gz and modified script on it.

HTC Vogue initrd.gz its the better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cass67:
Thanks for fixing the wget ..

Cool so i already have another initrd and i hang at the freeing 104k init error .. Are you able to get past this ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NetRipper:
Nice job writing that up.

Personally I use a different toolchain, but if the toolchain you mention works without a problem, then all is well :) When I used a toolchain from codesourcery I somehow got compile errors as there was no VFP support (maybe I just took the wrong binary).

The toolchain i'm using is in this git repo: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/prebuilt.git;a=summary and under linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cass67:
This toolchain works, compiles fine but fails on boot at the 104k error for me .. Not sure how to progress this without further info / debug ..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
Yes cause you use 2009q3 arm-eabi not contain VFP support maybe not important.. i try with your toolchain and 2008q1 binary

This is one worked with 2008q1 binary
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] G-ThGraf:
Nice work! When do you think Android will be avaible on HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spastik:
How should I format the micro SD Card ?

Do I have to create two partitions (one eith FAT to boot and another ext3 to filesystem ?)

Does anyone have a tutorial to configure the sd card ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
My experience format SD card make some mistake and brick some SD card on linux. For now dont do that cause no way and ist not ready to work.

But Android porting hardware its now everything ok, just wait some moment maybe one or two month to see it on HD2.

This test just need put haret, default.txt based on Leo, initrd.gz and Image on sdcard root and executed haret
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spastik:
If you have drivers to every piece of hardware then tell me how did you managed to detect the SD card reader. Because I simply can't.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
The developer find right interrupt for hardware on Leo but we dont have definitively realized driver, this is a problem to communicate right with Leo hardware.

If we have main console work then its ok!!

Now just have boot working and freez.

We need wait.

You can maybe look in this thread Martijn Stolk works, 38hours ago he add some instruction on kernel, then its signified we advanced to make Android works.

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-qsd8k-2.6.29

I think 2 months later if everything ok.

Now you dont need formating your sd card just put file on root.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tsamolotoff:
What's about other non-Leo QSD8x50 devices? I tried some of previous NetRipper's kernels, but they didn't work... As I'm completely next to nothing in ARM kernel development, I take someone should port IRQ and GPIO map (If I remember correctly) of respective devices (e.g. neoTouch, Expo, TG01 etc), isn't it?

Or is the kernel universal?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
I thinks HTC take's other hardware way and this hardware doesn't have any driver on linux.

HTC just make's driver for Windows mobile and then have realy code source to ported on linux and android.

Or maybe system locked protection !! Like's Archos 5 IT code secure implentation !!

Maybe HTC do it protection hardware cause Microsoft ask him to not porting it on Android !!!

Or marketing way not arrenged HTC to sell HTC Supersonic simillar hardware with Android !!

I hope its not this way, cause no way to ported Android or linux on Leo..

Last issue if there no protection just wait for HTC Supersonic and porting in Leo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zepiii:
Would love it, with DualBoot in more :D

I'll donate for Android, I am really excited to get it on our device :D !

Thank you to all developpers who take time for us !

See you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tigrouzen:
Edit : Use "git pull" to update automatically file modified on development

Thanks for developers.

[HD2 General] thenewguy1979:
I have just bought HD2 and coming from an IPhone the spec is great especially that huge screen.

But I'm missing a lot of app that make the Iphone so great. I have search but cannot find what I'm looking for.

Can someone point me below software alternative for Windows Mobile:

1) Iphone Textfree or Text Now (unlimited SMS using DATA) - what Windows Mobile App can do this?

2) Beejives (IM all in one) - what Windows mobile app can do this

3) PictureSafe (password protect picture) - what Windows mobile app can do this

This is my 3 most common use app. If someone can point me to a Windows Mobile alternative I will sell my Iphone and stick with the HD2. Thanks
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Not sure about #1 or #3, but you have a couple of options for #2:

Palringo

Beejive

Fring

Nimbuzz

I've never really used any of them, but I know they exist! :) Best of luck.
[HD2 General] thenewguy1979:
Uhm, but my wife would like a free SMS version such as the one on the Iphone.

I have spent couple days trying to find comparable software on Windows Mobile so I can give this HD2 for my wife as a present but I guess I have failed.

Can someone help or I will resale this phone and get her an Iphone like mine instead. Thanks
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
I think is better to sale it, if you are lucky you can get around 300 euros after 2 days of use.

And then go ahead and buy a brand new Iphone :)
[HD2 General] lude219:
Find an invite for Google Voice. You'll get free SMS through data.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
My hypothesis is that a search engine can!

Let's test this hypothesis...

So, you want something for Windows Mobile to let you send SMSes for free with your data connection?

But searching "Windows Mobile SMS free data connection" couldn't possibly yield the answer...could it?

Oh my goodness!

That's just too easy.

It's almost as though you should have done that before asking!

Top search result:

Here.

Something that awesome, it couldn't possibly be cross-platform, could it?

OHMYGOODNESS!

Top search result:

Here

You know Windows Mobile has native support for storage card encryption, right?

-_-
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
LOL @ Spike15!

The OP was so lazy, you'd almost suspect him of being an iPhone owner. No, wait a minute.....
[HD2 General] bjrmd:
Unfortunately the google voice is by invitation (I have been waiting for mos) and the Beejive for windows mobile is a beta that appears to not be working(if you read their forum).

Any other ideas?
[HD2 General] Nooner:
:D Guys, we've won an iPhone user over to WinMo and you flame him! Maybe he should have used the search, but then let's be gentle with him :). He's just venturing out into a world of freedom, where you can download apps from anywhere :).

Yes, he's not used to searching, but let's educate him not have a dig. After all he's seen the light!
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I have a friend who uses Beejive on his TP2 running WinMo6.5.

Hi all i'm new to the whole smartphone/ pocket pc scene and decided to buy a kaiser. However for some reason it constantly thinks it is charging when unplugged and not charging when plugged in. Also I cannot turn it off as soon as I do it turns itself back on. I have also hard reset it but that didn't work either. I have searched for people with similar problems but have found nothing. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Ty in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_fosi:
I don't have the charging issue but mine turns itself back on too. I tried a solution using MemMaid and it didn't work. I've searched the forums too and found no solution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Maybe it's a ghost..:eek: :rolleyes: :D. Sorry I couldn't hold that.

Back to topic,

Have you hard reset your device? as the fellow OP did. What rom are running? More info porfavor.

Cheers,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_fosi:
Hard Reset = Yes

ROM = 3.34.721.2 WWE

Radio = 1.70.19.09

Oli's HardSPL

It's got a problem with the front face buttons... It occasionally registers a center button press though I haven't pressed it. I can use the navigation/arrow buttons and it frees up the center button, but it's annoying.

No other issues. If I let it send itself into standby, it stays stood-by.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
it seems you are using a WM6.1 ROM...am i correct?

if so, you are using the wrong hardspl...i have been using an htc hd2 for the last month and i'm already starting to forget the various versions and tips and tricks for the kaiser. i think you need hardspl 3.29 at least if you are using WM6.1...someone please correct me if i am wrong.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_fosi:
it was doing this before the hardspl install
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
ok, i see. still, you may run into other issues with a mismatched hspl.

regarding your ghost button presses, might be some dust/gunk/corrosion under the buttons that is causing the ghost button presses. also, might be a faulty main flex cable (the cable that connects the top half with the motherboard in the bottom half) because this cable takes the signals from the buttons in the top half to the motherboard.

finally, putting it into standby manually doesn't stick? but if the device is left to enter standby according to the timeout, it stays in standby? hmmmmm its hard to say but really seems to sound like a radio/hspl problem...but if the issue exists with stock ROM+radio+spl, then might be a faulty camera button. i remember reading somewhere here in the kaiser general forums that if the camera button is half pressed (like when you press to focus the camera), then putting the device to standby will wake up the device. so check the camera button for dust/gunk/corrosion also.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_fosi:
I'll check the buttons for crud.

In the meantime it's now:

WM6.1

ROM: 3.34.721.2 WWE

Radio: 1.70.19.09

HardSPL: 3.56

And it's still having the problem.

Hy everybody.

I've seen in this NexusOne thread (Swype Beta Keyboard with fix for resolution pop-up) that Swype was available for WVGA devices ; thus not for our HERO (HVGA screen). I succeeded in installing it, but the keyboard does not show up :(

I've seen in another forum (Swype for HVGA Devices - *updated*) that a version for HVGA Devices was available. Unfortunately (at least for non english nor spanish people), this app does include ONLY english and spanish languages, while the first one above includes other languages, especially french (which I'm looking for ...)

Thus my question is : Would it be possible for a developper over there to build a Swype app for HVGA devices including additionnal languages ?

Thank you for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FunkAndSoda:
wow, i just tried the english version and this keyboard is really awesome.

thx for pointing it out. ;-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
this keyboard is greaaat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
Yay, now there is swype AND shapewriter.

Shapewriter kind of beat them to it I guess.

However, the HTC keyboard or the stock android 2.0+ keyboard kind of has an edge over these new ones for me: As you have your finger on the screen while writing, it kind of obscures the keypad.

It makes it hard to hit the keys, while regular typing does not have this problem: you lift your fingers in between (and the letter pops up, so you don't overshoot)

Too bad these both don't just use the default localization dictionaries.

i had the idea of searching for the language packs in the wvga version that are missing in the hvga build and i think i found them.

i have to say that i have no clue about building/(signing?) apks so i just renamed the wvga swype apk to zip and unzipped it. there were several additional language files in \assets\files for french, german, italian, russian.

but when i add them to the hvga build (see first posting in this thread), zip it, rename it to apk and try to install it on my phone the installation is aborted.

i'm sure i'm doing something completely wrong here but perhaps somebody can help who also would like to use other languages?

My installation of the normal .apk took a few attempts anyway so try again.

ok guys, i just searched the forum a bit and found the autosigner thread. now i signed the apk with the batch signing tool and everything worked fine. the apk could be installed and german dictionary is working at the moment (first test). will test french too now...

okay french doesn't work at the moment because it seems that an other keyboard layout is used for this and this is missing in my apk file. i try to fix this now... but can't promise anything.
