Hi all,
few weeks ago I deleted Windows and started using Ubuntu (nice OS), but it looks like it isn't possible to develop any applications for Windows Mobile.
Visual Studio 2005, Embedded VC++,... doesn't run under WINE.
I tried to use VirtualBox with WindowsXP, but it was terribly slow.
Is it possible to develop applications for WM under Ubuntu?
(Don't tell me to use dualboot, I want to have clean PC without some Windows sh*ts!)
Thanks
I would also like to know this.
you should trie Eclipse IDE!
If Eclipse doesn't fit, search for some of it's derivates.
There are several... many for Java, but also some for PHP (PDT) and
CSS/(x)HTML (Aptana Studio).
Hope I could help you!
If your VM is too slow,
start using a down-stripped version of WinXP!
(f.e. TinyXP -- nothing illegal, avail. via torrent -> u need a valid serial, of course!)
You can also create your own Tiny Xp..search fo a tool called
1. nLite For XP
2. vLite For Vista

Check http://cegcc.sf.net
arm-wince-mingw32ce can be used to compile many wince programs
if you write/adapt the Makefiles
you can maybe make compact framework .net apps using http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
mono
Actually, you should think of downloading WM 5/6 SDK and... using it with right cross-GCC.
Yes, I was right: http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/
I am really looking for a HSPL.cab if one exists anywhere, if not i would be grateful if someone (more clever-a than me) could make one.
Apart from the options of installing away from PCs I dont actually use windows / activesync on any of my machines (they are all linux), and as such I am pretty limited without .cab installs.
Thanks for the help, heres hoping!
You can install VirtualBox @ your distro and map USB port do Virtual Machine running Windows XP and ActiveSync.
Regards,
True, but its a fair amount of effort to go through just to get 1 app on my fone for this one time. I also was hoping a .cab might be useful for a few other people.
If there isnt the interest i guess i will have to go down he virtual box route and dig out my old windows xp cds.

hspl is not a "program", for what i know
you don't install this on running OS
it overwrite boot sector
then no chance i think

Its not an 'app' and you certainly cant install it via a cab. It can only be done via the methods explained in my flashing thread and can only be done via activesync (windows xp or windows7 32bit preferred).
If you cant manage to do it that way then im afraid you cant install HardSPL.
The effort is well worth it if you want to be able to protect your phone and want to flash custom roms

Nice idea, sadly it hangs/stops working just after the phone restarts to the bootloader screen. I guess it could have been worse, it could have hung about 1min in to the instal and bricked my phone.
I think im going to have to resort to using windows this once.
since win 7 was published, WINCE CAB MANAGER seems to give up on updating itself to be compatable in win 7. After the installation, no matter how you run it, whether under comapatable mode of winxp sp2 or not, it never works properly.
today, i found how to make it work!
it's really simply, though.
right click the install file, then run it under the compatable mode of winxp sp2, and then, it's done!
remember you have to run the compatable when installing. then you can double click on the program to run as you do to other programs in win 7.

I'm using the latest version and i haven't had a problem with installing it or running but i do have UAC turned off because it irritates the crap out of me. All i did was just plain run the installer.
Their have been a couple of programs that i have had to install in compatibility mode but they were games and i haven't had to do it for about a year
looking for a simple way to swap and mod a few system files on my HD2 Haret/SD android.
i am not developing anything, only changing.
i am ok with the terminal on the device (using BTEP) but its tedious.
what i need is to mount the phone on wndows 7 (or a MAC if thats easier) so i can copy and paste from the comfort of my own keyboard
its a Haret/SD build, not nand.
thanks
That's not a question of SD or NAND. All you need to know is this: http://androidcommander.com/
Edit: If you are on 64bit-system...install 32bit java...otherwise it will not work!
thanks icke, yes 64bit windows 7, was hoping for a standalone program but specs say i still have to get ADB USB Driver from SDK.
i think thats where the problems were with other methods i tried.
looks just what i was looking for though.
not sure if it will work,
DroidExplorer: http://de.codeplex.com/
Works with NAND Roms, not sure if it works with SD, or does what you want.
Yes, I'd like to do the same as the OP. That Androidcommander looks pretty interesting. Think I'll try it... But I see, I need to d/l and install the Android SDK... as a requirement for Androidcommander. Shouldn't be too difficult... But I see I need to d/l and install the Java Development Kit as a requirement for the Android SDK... wish I were a developer, so I'd have some use for these large programs!!!
Droid Explorer seems to have the same requirements. Is all this even worth it for a non-developer/programmer. Isn't there a better way to run a file explorer on an Android device from a desktop PC?
Haha Lol... with Windows or WM... I feel like a pro! with Android, I'm just a noob... Lol, Lol
(edit)... seems the more I read, the less (I realize) I know... for now. But all this above... I'll figure it out Not a problem!
@ icke... thanks for the reco on androidcommander. And for anyone else reading, the install wasn't too difficult, inclusive of the SDK and the JDK. There were unexpected repercussions (not sure but certainly from the SDK or JDK install). Upon reboot... the WinXP Security Center didn't recognize my firewall or AV pgms... saying the system was unprotected, although both av & firewall were up & running.
The command prompt (cmd.exe), also wouldn't recognize anything typed. But... Google is my friend. One of these DK pgms (probably Java, but I dunno), blew-up the systems environment variable (Path), and so I had to recreate. Done and all is well. AC looks looks to be exactly what I wanted... and then some. Thanks again!

Sorry...doesn't know how it is working on WinXP (Only tried Win7 64x). All I can say: everything I do between my Leo and Pc, I use Android Commander. For me, there's no better way to copy, merge, paste...or anything else working 1:1 with my device.
BTW: There is an pluggin for TotalCommander PC...but doesn't worked for me yet...maybe on 32X systems.

Just to reiterate... It's working very well in WinXP. I'm genuinely pleased with how it all panned out and I was just thanking you again for the recommendation.
The Java jdk, or was it the android sdk (still not sure which) overwrote and changed my systems environment variable (AKA system path) and so the command prompt and some security pgms appeared to not be working... Once I restored the path - everything worked again. AC is must have for what it does!
Hello...
I just set up a Windows Phone developer account and registered my phone (HTC 8x) as a developer unlocked phone.
I have build an app with PhoneGap build and I can download the .xap, but I have yet to figure out how to install it.
Using a QR Reader asks if I want to search the store for something to open the file.
I've seen tutorials on how to build a PhoneGap app within Visual Studio.
I haven't seen any means of installing it from PhoneGap Build, though.
Any ideas?
JJ
The SDK installs a tool called Application Deployment on your PC. Run that, connect your phone via USB, and use it to sideload the XAP.
Man, it would be great if you could install them directly from the PhoneGap site (like iOS and Android - I haven't tested Blackberry).
Having to do it from a computer that has, at least, a Core i5 CPU and Visual Studio is kind of jacked.
Also, I can only have 3 developer devices on my account.
Apple allows 99, I think.
Of course, Android doesn't even require to to register a device (just turn on the "install unapproved apps" feature.

You do not need SLAT (i5 CPU) to side load things.
That is for emulators only.
There is homebrew to do that on WP7. We'll just have to figure out a way on WP8. It's not very hard, once we can get the needed permissions.

Well, that's handy to know.
It would still be nice to not require Windows 8 and Visual Studio just to install an app.
JJ
And don't need to be a W8, you can install xap's on Windows 7.

Has anyone been able to do this on Windows 7 x64 machine ? I am sure I am just missing something...
I downloaded "Windows Phone Power Tools" after installing .NET 4.5 but, it just gives me an error of "Unable to install or run the applications. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Accembly Cashe (GAC) first." when I attempt to run it..
As most of us know, SDK 8.0 REQUIRES Windows 8, I would love to be able to install XAPs on Windows 7 so I don't have to reboot my PC to use my Windows 8 partition just to install a quick XAP time to time. I can't download or find where to download the full install to extract a few fles as said in the directions...
Any idea to get this installed ?
I didn't get it working with my Windows 7 workstation.
I have a Windows 8.1 laptop, so I just use it.
Being able to do it at work would be nice, though.

I have SDK 7.1 installed, still can't run Windows Power Tools on Windows 7 x64, I get the same error listed in my past post.
Anyone have a good step by step with details on how to do this?

Yes you have to instal win 8 on your machine that,s a requierment.
Win 8

Or use VMware and create a virtual machine with the above requirements.
@DavidinCT @Fa310tx
You can install the WP8 SDK on Windows 7...it works just fine. The secret that Microsoft doesn't want you to know is that the WP8 SDK can be installed on Server 2008 R2...Server 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7 x64. Therefore, it will work with no issues.
