[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
First, it's already been answered.

Second, it's not rocket science. From a command line run "xde.exe WM70C1.bin" or create a new windows phone development project and hit the play button

Third, this is for developers! If you're not a developer, it's useless to you so stop *****ing about it. The only thing you can do (other than test your applications) is see some settings and browse the web with internet explorer. Whoopty friggen do.

Fourth, this thread is about modifying/researching the contents of the emulator ROM... not people who can't even figure out how to start the thing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Paul-Lemonidis:
Mor correctly

So more correctly then and please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken here! It is an emulation platform for developing apps. That is not quite the same as an emulator. The word emulator does imply you can actually run the OS as if you had a physical device in your hand and hence why there is so much confusion I suspect? If so I agree this is pointless to non-programmers but the article did very much give the impression that you could run up a Windows Mobile 7 phone on a PC platform as if were a fully bootable ROM.

I always find it amazing how programmers think everything is so obvious! Well yes, anything is if you know it!

Don't know if this can help

I just came across this website:

/sviluppomobile.blogspot.com/2010/03/wmp7-emulator-unlock.html

need to add http:/ as I can yet post links!!

Seems that he has managed to unlock the emulator as he is posting screenshots of the os.

He also has a bin file to download.

BTW no sqlce in WP7 :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JesusFreak316:
Ok, I'll bite. I'll be the guinea pig. Downloading now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darrengladysz:
It works... with some errors but have working phone emulator

Here is how you do this:

-1 (forgot to add) download the developper tools (Visual Studio 10 express) from Microsoft:

can't post links so google:

Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

-.5 install these

1. download the bin from my previous link

2. rename the file to WM70C1.bin

3. go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images

4. rename the existing WM70C1.bin to WM70C1_old.bin

5. copy paste the downloaded bin file

Voila ...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
omg... it works!!!!!!!!!!!! soooooooooooo awesome. Now I want to find out how he did it lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darrengladysz:
Yes, but there are no games on it. Not even solitaire or freecell :(

IE works however.

BTW For using on our existing devices Qualcomm and the other chip manufactures should be starting to distribute the drivers for WP7 in their development kits given to manufacturers. This may help in finding the drivers should we want to make a rom. I am sure Samsung, Qualcomm etc. and the other have written these already.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JesusFreak316:
Yeah it does. :) I had to reinstall first as it was throwing up command line errors. Pretty cool stuff.

Shorcuts with dll and apps

If you mouse-touch scroll to the shortcuts you get a list of the dll's used in the application as well as the exe for various applications.

If you select the "show all file" option you can see the xml for the various policies including security. This may be helpful to map this thing out.

You can also go into system info and click on the yellow arrow. It lists the processor as x86/i486 which is logical as it is on the pc. Now the big question is to ascertain whether the emulator is a true emulator or not. In light of their haste to get this thing out I would think this may be the real mckoy.

I clicked on "install shell chrome" have to determine what this one does.

From some of the missing tabs, looks like there is work to be done on the ui.

Calendar, calculator and other apps seems to be working. Mobile office seems to be awful, at least at this stage.

Back for more.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
Some notes...

interesting build info.

word is not even close to done.

They're using SkyDrive for file storage!

I can't get any email/facebook/etc to sync.

Zune section works great, even talks to the marketplace!

This is defintely not the same build of office shown (sparingly) at MIX.

No copy/paste in the office menus (like some of the files hinted at).

I crashed the OS heh. Definitely still early build. Pretty plain to see.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
The "install chrome" is what adds that yellow arrow.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dwizzy130:
This is a very noob question but how do we start the emulator? I can't seem to find any shortcuts...

Camera app. Kinda cool.

Office uses skydrive

I'm fairly new to cooking roms, but is there any other files/platforms that need to be installed to follow these instructions? I'm having trouble with the decompress (in other posts further into the thread).

I've tried two different machines and XIPPort gives me an error that it can't find the OUT\MODULES\name.bin path, so I figured I must be missing something.

Thanks for any help, sorry to clutter the thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darrengladysz:
To start the emulator:

1. launch vs2010 using the start menu visual studio express

2. when launched click file and then new project

You don't need to do anything or add any code

3. select windows phone application

4. click the green arrow in the toolbar or use build - deploy solution

That is it

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
That's just the processor level it supports. The emulator probably requires instructions that didn't exist until Pentium3 (SSE?).

Cut-Paste in OneNote

I'm using the FULL rom as given in sviluppomobile.blogspot.com/2010/03/wmp7-emulator-unlock.html.

See the attached screen shot. Seems like OneNote mentions that Cut-Copy-Paste is a feature. So is MS going to enable this on an App to app basis or what?

windows mobilde 7 oops phone

windows phone...my feeling is microsoft is making an extremely big mistake. they are listening to halfwit cell phone reviewers many with subhuman IQs. Windows mobile is excellent for us techs and for people intelligent enough and tech savy. there are glitches here and there and errors in UI design logic sprinkled about but we largely have a rocksolid os that can see these things fixed and make it useful for literally everyone. It already is. Iphone is single tasking I would never bother with that. android has aps loading by the dozens overfilling ram so you have to clear it every hour or so or it slows to a crawl even when you run no aps,android email is a wreck if you want ssl email or other features.

Keep windows mobile as is it is very customizable. FIX GLITCHES add all codecs. add games MAKE 7 WORK ON THE MAX NUMBER OF PHONES POSSIBLE do not dictate buttons if the phone is otherwise top notch like touch pro 2 and HD2. the button thing is just MS trying to clone success. forget it Windows mobile is successful it just needs a bug overhaul (make it possible to set up ssl email the first time you set the account up..I did a 6.5.5 build, I believe, that did it correctly) and improve memory and other performance ... add progs and games to the default on the sd card. but keep it in tact.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SonicFlare:
You cannot use the unlocked ROM to debug Silverlight apps. It's throws exception that this port already in use.

So that, don't throw away the original image just yet.. ))
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nikc0069:
Please forgive a n00b question, but am I right in saying this still can't be used to produce a ROM due to the fact it is compiled for x86?

Also (and I have posted this elsewhere so sorry) is the new CE core similar enough that drivers can be used from 6.5 with a bit of tweaking?

P.S. I am not a developer by any means.

WM70Full - Emulator thoughts.

After exploring more of the emulator I am impressed, but still not completely convinced.

The maps application looked pretty cool, office is further along that I would have thought.

In general though, Metro's cropped text and titles are just plain annoying. The UI has a tendency to flow horizontally but not vertically where would make sense and be intuitive.

IMHO Microsoft need to rethink aspects of metro, it is a little too far left of field for a smartphone O/S. It works well with a media player, but is out of place for applications like word and excel (which you can see are still very much WIP).

The move away from GDI is brilliant and a long time coming. Why Microsoft do not share this stuff with developers is very frustrating!! In comparison SKIA - the compositing engine behind Android and Chrome is completely opensource - warts and all.

A lot of Metro is driven by striving to be different, in some cases just for the sake of being different. I also suspect Microsoft are minimising potential patent disputes... :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] n3tfusion:
Thank you for the full build :)

I have a question, does anyone knows how to run it (only the emulator) in XP ?

I'm runing it on a laptop under Vista, but it's not my computer.

I've tried to copy the files from the XDE folder from the laptop to my XP computer, but nothing happened..

I suppose there must be additionals files or settings to add..

If anyone has a clue about this !

If not, i'll stick on vista for testing.. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] landslide:
I suspect there are registry entries you'll need for XBE. I tried the same as you did and it simply bails with no error.. :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] landslide:
Anyone click the little brown/orange triangle in the top right hand corner...

Now THAT is very nice :)

update: Actually it's a SystemInfo feature, you need to turn it on via clicking the top right 'yellow' arrow (in SystemInfo). Then 'Install Shell Chrome', and 'yes'. Then click the little triangle anywhere.

so i managed to cook in the xnaframeworkcore.dll (xna package from emulator rom)

any ideas how we can test this? also where is the silverlight package, does i thave a codename?

lol look! i found it now to try cook that into a rom. so how do we test silverlight and xna in a winmo 6.5.x rom? i have built a simple project but there is no exe. i am far fromm a developer but i love to tweak and experiment. ;)

Has anyone figured out how to sync in contacts/emails/facebook? I'm not sure what's causing it to break. It tries to sync and then almost immediately fails for me. I did a packet capture and saw traffic going to/from facebook and the emulator so not sure why it would be just refusing to work. I even tried setting up a good ol' fashioned imap connection to Gmail and even that wouldn't go. I'm guessing there's some lockdown or service that needs to be running?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
That won't work. You'll need to find all the DLLs which xnaframeworkcore.dll relies on and even then it will make some hardware calls which will mean you need to have a WP7 device :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] daniel-t:
Looking at the Unlocked Emulator, you can see why Microsoft weren't ready to show it all off yet. Some parts of it are very rough, and that's putting it kindly!

I hope Microphone and WebCam/Camera functionality is added for testing. And even a Zune HD firmware update for testing apps would suffice in the mean time until Windows Phone Devices and finished OSs are available.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aquaseal:
yes, i have tried this with a win7 x86 VM and I get a blue screen of death every time I run the emulator. Microsoft specifically points out that this will not work currently since the emulator is an actual VM that loads, so loading a VM within a VM crashes.

Luckily I made my VM with win7 and so I can turn that into a native boot vhd and got it up and running quickly!
