[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Don-Carlo:
I'm a little confused. For lots of people here it seems to be important to have a CLASS 4 or CLASS 6 MicroSDHC Card. I am using a Sandisc 8GB Micro SDHC CLASS 2 card eversince for Tomtom, Music and Movies. The card is 90% full and I have never ever experienced any delay or problem of speed.

So, I'm just wondering, why so many people here would want to have a CLASS 4/6 card !?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] chompx2:
Speed, my Tilt2 reads my A-DATA Micro SDHC Class 6 much faster than my Sandisk Class 2. While I did not use a stop watch to clock it but the extra speed is very apparent.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] camell0ndosequis:
I am in the market for a new card ... currently on a sandisk 6gb class4 card I took away from my wife's blackberry. I need to get it back to her ... and right now I am lusting after that new 32gb from Sandisk. But at class2, I'm concerned about speed. I'm sure playing music and running apps wont be an issue, but how about vids? Is there a recommended speed for playing vids from a micro sdhc card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] deeken:
Yes me too! I've been looking to upgrade my 8gig class 2 to a 16gb. I use it for TomTom, Garmin and some movies.

Well there be any benefit to how fast my Garmin & TomTom load on my phone with a class 6 over 2? I can get a class 2 on newegg for $40 but a cheap class 6 is $60. Is the $20+ more worth it for a class 6? I don't care about the speed it takes to transfer files, I just want my GPS apps to be more responsive loading maps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] aerotec:
My Sandisk Sansa Fuze went through a complete wash cycle by mistake. I popped out the MicroSD card and left it a few days and it worked just fine.

Just make sure anything that has got water on it is powered down by pulling the battery, don't use the power switch. Shut it off ASAP and pop it on the boiler, airing cupboard etc and leave for at least 24-48hrs. Don't be tempted to just give it a quick power up as that is when you fry the circuit board.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] slapshot30:
Well for some things, a higher class works a lot better. An example of that is how when trying to run anroid on my low class 1G card, it wouldn't even boot. It kept timing out. So yes, it does matter for some things.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SirMcFrosty:
just get a class 6 sdhc. its really faster in all belongings. which brand - i think anyone of the well known brands is ok.

when it is going over 8GB in size you dont have much a choose of brands because there a only very very few comapnys who have a large class 6 sdhc micro sdcard ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] baddison:
I am getting ready to purchase this 32gb micro from ScanDisk. Has anyone confirmed that the HTC Rhodium/AT&T Tilt2 will work with this larger card??:confused:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] kiruch:
Hi everyone.

I'm a beginner in Pocket PC / Smartphone development, though i have some (amateur) experience in creating PC apps (Delphi, C++)

So i just need a "kick start" to begin working on PPC apps. Like, a code to make an app that draws a window with "Hello world" and an OK button in it, you know :)

I've downloaded the SharpDevelop environment, because it looked like the best freeware alternative to Visual Studio. However, i have to admit i've downloaded the 1.x version, as i have a very old computer. But if it's critical, i can try and install 2.x or 3.x.

Anyway, the question is: how do i create a project for Pocket PC / Smartphone? All i see are options to create PC projects... But i saw SharpDevelop in the D&H wiki, so there must be a way to use it for it, right?

Big thanks in advance for answering my very silly question :D

upd: also, do i need any special device emulators to run the project, or... w/e :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
It's not a silly question mate - it's a perfectly good one. Unfortunately, I don't think that you can use SharpDevelop to create .Net CF applications easily. The Windows Mobile SDKs come with plenty emulators (to answer your latter question), but they're Microsoft, and therefore they're for Visual Studio. It's really easy with Visual Studio - you just install the SDK and select a smart device as your target when you create a new project. It just works.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=20686a1d-97a8-4f80-bc6a-ae010e085a6e

However, as far as I'm aware, you can't use VS Express (the free version), as the SDKs only work with full versions of VS. If you can get hold of that, I'd recommend it.

I do remember seeing a website talking about using SharpDevelop with the .Net CF, but it was sketchy and didn't promise it would work. Maybe google a little more to make sure about that, but I'd strongly recommend a copy of VS Professional, if that's an option.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Leddy:
If you are a student, you can get VS2008 for free (www.dreamspark.com)

If you are not a student, you can get VS2010 RC for free (works for another 100 days from today).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajige:
I use Sharp Develop to program in C# for my phone, and it works fine.

However, it's possible that smartphones are only supported in version 2 and 3 (I never tried version 1).

In the newer versions, when you start a new solution, there will be an option to start a Compact Framework Project.

Some code that is automatically added when adding controls to your form, will throw errors and will have to be deleted. There is more information on that in the forums at Sharpdevelop.

Good luck!:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jug6ernaut:
It depends on what u want to program in. .net c# c++ ect. Tho if i were u i would try and get VS. If your going to do c++ i can provide some examples, but not for anything else xD. GL.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atolar:
Here's the scenario:

Been running CM4.2.15.1 with Amon_RA's recovery v1.6.2 & default(?) SPL.

Nandroid backup.

Wiped data/factory reset.

Tried to flash OpenEclair1.2.2. Got error:

E: Can't symlink /system/xbin/bb/dirname
E: FAilure at line 73:
symlink /system/xbin/busybox SYSTEM:xbin/bb/dirname

So I wiped again and tried to Nandroid restore.

After "restore," I keep getting stuck on the "T-Mobile G1" screen after waiting 10ish minutes. Any suggestions? Am I not waiting long enough?

Did I "brick" my phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Well, you wiped to flash OpenEclair which currently requires the Danger spl (or you can create proper symlinks). Since you wiped and then tried to flash a rom onto your phone which formats the /system partition (here Android resides), I'm thinking you should reflash Cyanogen (after flashing the Htc Recovery of course).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atolar:
So when I did the factory reset, that means I got rid of the "htc recovery"? The Amon_RA recovery is still working for me though.

EDIT:

So I've wiped again and tried to reflash the CM but again it's still stuck at the "G1" screen. Should I wipe dalvik? I don't understand why my nandroid restore isn't working..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
The HTC recovery, as in the thing you flashed before you first flashed Cyanogen. I have always done this and I'm pretty sire that Cyanogen does not boot without having flashed the HTC recovery on a new flash (As in coming from another rom)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atolar:
I can't load my phone to mount my sd card to put those files onto my phone..? I've been flashing roms all the time but I feel like a noob right now.

EDIT:

Oh it's a simple "push". Sorry, freaking out here is all.

EDIT:

successs!! turns out I needed to flash the "base" as described in http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_or_other_rooted_ROMs

Thank you so much for your help!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Do you mean like an alternate UI? a la sense or blur?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpustin:
Not a complete home replacement more of ambient information. Picture slidescreen pro but without the complete takeover and much less info being packed on page, cleaner and lighter. A live wallpaper is just a thought but I desperately need to talk to a dev about this purely because I believe I have a marketable idea and would ideally love to roll out at least an iteration of it to the market before the Droid gets 2.1 (1.1 million users in US).

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Fdo35:
Okay, so since the unlocked emulator has a file manager and task manager, does that mean it would be possible to extract them and run them on an actual WP7S device? And if that was possible, would it also be possible to extract the Native APIs from these apps? I'm fairly certain that they use Native APIs because ordinary apps can only access their own directory. I'm not very smart with these things, so sorry if it's obviously impossible or something.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ramdroid77:
It's wince - the native API is always there, where do you want to extract it from? Also some people figured out most WP7 apps from the emulator ROM are written in native as well. it's always here.

But you can't just put file manager on a WP7 device because there's no access for you to put anything on it, except apps from Marketplace you got the picture? even if we could cook our custom ROMs in the future the only thing we could do is throw in our own DLLs, services or background tools on it and customize it a little. I still doubt you'd be able to develop real WP7 style apps like a file manager or registry editor because the GUI is supposed to be written in Silverlight/XNA. And from those frameworks you can't access the native API unless Microsoft would add support for it.

101% dumb phone. If you think about it then WP7 is even WORSE then iphone.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Fdo35:
But what if you could use Visual Studio to load it onto the device? If you look around in it, there is an option for that.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] StevieBallz:
Actual devices will have to be unlocked for developement purposes to allow sideloading through Visual Studio and even then I doubt the system would be able to deploy native code. Developer phone means a yearly fee for membership in the MS developer programm.

I don't think that using native APIs from managed code would be impossible in the SDK - carriers, e.g. will be allowed to use it, but for normal applications the Security Context in .Net would prevent the programm from calling them (Code Security Managers are configurably available in Java and .Net from the beginning, so i believe that would be what MS uses to block access).

And of course programs using those wouldn't get on the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Fdo35:
Oh, too bad then, but thanks for your response anyway!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ThymeCypher:
Okay, the issue here is the lack of a few key DLLs: Windows 7 Series will not offer GDI most likely (I'm downloading the emulator set now, and will confirm this soon) and will lack comctl32.dll and the like, removing these functions. As it's been stated before, like Windows 7 uses the 6.1 NT Kernel, Windows Phone 7 series uses the 6.5 Windows CE kernel, at least, last that I've heard. It would then be both possible to bring Windows Mobile 6.5 DLLs over, but anything that calls GDI will not work. Solution? Make a mock GDI that uses the new render.

This isn't new either, Windows 7 uses WPF more than ever (Which composes most of the games as well as Windows Media Center), which is a 3D accelerated and fancier way to draw to the screen, and Windows 7's GDI subset has been updated to allow hardware acceleration granted the graphics card allows it (It's actually something the video card driver must tell Windows, as MSDN states)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ThymeCypher:
Deploy native code, no. Run it, of course ;)

I'll be investigating the possibility of native code here shortly. Chances are, you will need to set the target to ARMV6, and set the compile type to Native, not Windows. Most developers, if not all, probably have overlooked this.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] vangrieg:
I would expect that it'll require privileged access to run native code, so you'll need to solve the code signing problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TFGBD:
Well, I doubt things like comctl.dll and some other things like GWES will be that big of an issue once Platform Builder 7 is released and we can just generate these components ourselves. Hell, adding back GDI support (if those rumors aren't just lies) may be as easy as replacing the GWES with a less crippled one generated by Platform Builder. Maybe GDI support is still compiled in but just doesn't output directly to the screen using the default graphics driver implementation. That's how the Dreamcast implementation of Windows CE was. To even see apps like IE on the screen, you need to copy the contents of the standard WinCE GDI output to a DirectDraw surface.

What I'm more worried about is the hackability of the hardware/software. I'm really hoping it's not as insanely locked down to the point to being unhackable like every Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ramdroid77:
do you think Platform builder is still available for WP7? Since MS won't allow the OEMs to modify the OS I doubt that. Do you have a source? You've seen an announcement from MS or something?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] manic_dev:
Platformbuilder is for the OS, which is Windows CE. There is still some debate as to what version the emulator is running, leaving alone the possibility that the actual version of the OS may be different at release.

If the CE6R3 camp is right, you can get platform builder for that right now, though you wont have telshell.exe (WP7 replacement for explorer.exe), and the WP7 specific apps. It would be an interesting exercise to see if they could be run on CE6R3. If no one beats me to the punch, I plan on trying this for myself when I am less swamped at work.

If the CE7 camp is right, you will have to wait till MS releases that version to the public. And they WILL release it because there are far too many embedded systems outside of phones that run on CE for them to neglect it.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TFGBD:
No, I was talking about the generic Windows CE 7.0 Platform Builder and not the OEM specific OAK for WP7S. Unless MS plans to completely drop their generic Embedded Windows CE offerings, I see no reason why PB 7.0 will not be released and help with hacking WP7S (if it is even based on 7.0). You always needed to be a large ODM and sing an NDA to use a Platform Builder addon/OAK for the MS platforms like Pocket PC. Those almost never leak and I can't imagine this would be much different.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] aeroflyluby:
Yes, platform builder was used to build leaked wp7 arm image.

I'm working on an app, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to copy a file from my resources directory into the SD card. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cruiserrr:
Hi, I always thought windows mobile lacks of a few basic things. One of them is a basic profiles selector.

There are several apps doing the job like phone alarm (my favourite) or phoneweaver but these programs are commercial and even if I paid for phonealarm I am abandoning it since I am getting more and more minimalistic.

I am combining mortscript, htcaction screen, Vit Bernatik backlight control, vjvolubilis, wifionoff, michasspecial refresh and eric's pfswitch to do the following:

- Define 8 profiles (home, internet, gps, car, outdoor, mute, vibrate, flight)

- Have a full screen pop-up menu that autohides after a few seconds if no profile is selected (htc action screen) (screenshot below)

- With the profiles govern: radio, bluetooth, wifi, grps, backlight intensity, dim and screenoff timeouts, rotation, incall and system volume and automatic activation of a program if wanted

- Update titanium wallpaper accordingly (screenshot below)

- Update the shorcut icon in the start menu accordingly to the profile selected (screenshot below)

Eric has been helping me a lot lately with his console app

The profile module still is missing a few functionalities

- A setup file so users can choose to change wallpaper or not.

- A UI to mantain the profiles names and parameters (I plan to do it in mortscript since I am not able to program on windows mobile so far)

- A cab install, including the icon that I currently create at 1st boot with mortscript

- A GPS switch (so it can be used to sync time automatically at 1st boot or on demand)

- A replacement for htcaction screen (so many brn files, brrrr...)

- Support newer devices than my Polaris (I have no accelerometer or light sensor)

I post it in case somebody is interested either to use it or to help me complete it, or improve it (performance, better tweaks, etc) and who knows, maybe someone wants to take it to the next level and help me replace htcaction screen or build a nice touch friendly UI to mantain profiles.

Here are the files (it is a module in my kitchen, simply add to your kitchen or copy all files to windows and rename and import the provxml file and create a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe):

A little ashamed of publishing this in the software development section. Maybe it would be more appropiate to publish in the themes section...

That's all folks !!
