Hello
I was wondering if the platform builderr IDE from windows is free?
i tried to search for it on their website but could not find it, just found the updates
It is not free, but there is an evaluation version for 180 days (if I am not mistaking). Sorry, don't remember the link, but it's there somewhere.
P.S. Any images built with it will only work for a year I think.
Yeah, it's hardly worth downloading, but the trial version suffices for most of our needs. Buy from MS's website.

thanks for the reply
is there anything comparable which is available for free
No...
Exactly what do you want to do?
Build a ROM for a new device from scratch? If so then you have no choice, you must by the PB.
But if you only need some of its functionality like creating MUI for localization, perhaps we can recommend an alternative. Just tell us what you need it for.
FYI, the platform builder trial can't be used to build a rom for our devices, from scratch. You require the system drivers etc that only the OEM (ie HTC) would have available. Or some very very very well connected friends.

Platform Builder available from MS site can be used to build only WinCE 5.0 ROMs. Windows Mobile ROMs are build with Platform Builder 5.0 for Windows Mobile (or something like that). MS regularly releases updates for it in the form of AKUs.
Unfortunately PB for WM or AKUs are nowhere available for free, and their price is too huge.
And even if you'l get them, you'll also need a BSP for your device. It is extremely difficult to create it from scratch without having any hardware information, but Linux source code for your device can be useful.

hey all,
does anyone know how to compile an SDL app under linux for MW6? I've tried building cegcc but the build fails and I cant find updated info on their site...
Well, i did it a while ago (used CeeGCC). To be honest, i don't remember what exactly i needed to change, but a good starting point would be to get SDL version working with windows mobile. Arisme did a port, which you can get here (that's the one i used):
http://arisme.free.fr/ports/SDL.php
As you can see on the linked page, the port is discontinued, so you could also try grabbing a newer winCE-compatibile SDL version used by scummVM (they use CeGCC too).
Theoretically, the standard version of SDL from libsdl.org should have winCE support, but i couldn't get it to work and had to use Arisme's version instead.
Since windows mobile version of ScummVM is compiled using CeGCC, it might be a good idea to ask for details at their forums, or take a look at their wiki (with links to modified SDL version - both patches to standard release, and precompiled libs):

Hi developers!
My question is where can i download windows mobile 6 build system (i don't know, in wince it is platform builder and visual studio) for building images for custom hardware platform. I know that it is not open for free, but i've red that a lot of developers downloaded it. It is my dream to install windows mobile 6 on my hardware platform, so help me please how can! Thanks
there was a trial version of it somewhere in MS site but you have to search for it, if you are good in writing drivers for your hardware platform you may hav the luck to run WM6 on it, but i doubt it because the people who do this have teams for writing and testing drivers, it is large amount of work

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the XDA utils tree and itsutils.dll from source in order to play around with it a bit, but have had no luck so far. I've searched through all the forums, but couldn't find anything about building the toolset, only how to develop for actual mobile devices.
I got the source tree for the xda utils project, but the instructions on how to build them (here) are not very clear. What software do I need to have installed? Which libraries? Do I need to install an embedded version of the STL? Where can I find the "preview editions" of Platform Builder 3.0 and 4.0 in order to get the header files?
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit (I also have a 64-bit machine, though I doubt that'll make it any easier), and have installed VS 2005, the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, and eMbedded VC 4.0.
I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
I have windows xp.
What software I need to install? More specially, which versions?
I do not want to buy newer OS.
I want to make app in IDE or something like that for android 4.1.2 on gt-i9100.
I want the app to do job in preload partition.

XP is too old. I was still in school when XP is the latest version, it's that old. Many programs may not work.
Better use BBQ Linux. It may also be conducive to Android App development.
I love the idea for live dvd.
Are there other alternatives in same group??: 'I put the dvd and no need to lose time to install anything at all.' ?
can someone say to me whether the size of this file:
bbqlinux-2016.06.19-x86_64-mate.iso
is 2 387 427 328 bytes?
I don't know whether i need to re download it.

I need help or some one can point me to the right direction.
One of my employee give me Nokia lumia 1520 window 8.1 he ask me If I can put Androids app to this phone. I never root this type of phone before ( only Samsung phone). Can some one tell me what I need to download or send me a link what steps I need to do in order to root and install android apps on this phone if is possible.
thanks in advance.
No dude. You cant install Android on Windows Phone. You need to buy Android Phones for that. In earlier versions of Wp10 it was possible but not now

Something close is possible, You can install Appx File.... It's the Universal Apps : there might be some that have be converted from android to Windows phone.. Just google Appx Downloads and see if you can find something he wanted. If so, that is what is possible. The previous : A Older version of Windows on the phone had a special file/command, whatever you wish to call it. """Bash""". It allowed Linux to run on windows. Sadly they removed this, it would give programmers to do things Microsoft did not want to happen.

I think what you meant was sideloading apk using adb in W10 build 10149 . The Exploit which allowed more or less sandboxing of Android app. It Ran the basic Android Apps which didnt have much dependency on Google Play services and more in use by Project Astoria.That means if an android app that required the GMaps plug-in would crash in W10M. Well that's basically not possible now as they removed the Linux Subsytem. You cant install Android Apps now on Windows 10 (btw Nowadays which dev is spending time on Lumia devices? ) I dont think there would be more development of Windows 10 mobile in future as they have shown that Full blown Windows 10 would soon run on ARM devices which has SD835 or more( Just think SD835+6GB RAM+LQS)That would be amazing. But Microsoft Doesnt have the Required no. of Apps in store (Admitting, UWP was not a great success) and enough market share. But dev's like @feherneoh and @banmeifyouwant have done great thing in porting Android to SG Lumias. :cyclops:
feherneoh said:
SD835 might be a great SoC, but we'll have to wait and see. But that will give us x86 Windows apps, not Android
Yeah, there is the 52X port, but note that we have no connectivity at all....

Atleast if the perfomence if fine on SD835 soc , I Mean more than 2.5Ghz and enough page memory, I Think running or emulating Android apps would be smooth.Moreover if its full fledged Win10 the bootloader stuff Etc. would be easier to unlock and build Android for that. Yeah as you said we have to wait and see.
Yeah, Connectivity is major barrier on L52X Android Ports. If you guys could solve that, L52X Android port would the topic of debate and hopefully open the doors for future development. Good luck with connectivity though. Anyway you guys have done a great work on dead Lumias
