Existing dll modification in WM6/6.1

I'm starting this because (so far) I have been unable to locate enough information to allow me to try modding dll's that exist (either compiled or decompiled modules) in WM6.
I've known some users have tweaked dll's (such as the phcanoverbmp.dll as an already built or the keybddr.dll as a decompiled) and would like to gain this knowledge and have a better understanding of the steps needed to get "into" the files.
I'd like to learn more about customizing them to either add embedded images, change image paths, touch screen mapping, etc.
I've tried reverse compilers and such, but so far have been unsuccessful in my attempts.
I'm running Visual Studio 2k8 Team Suite with the Mobile 6 Pro SDK on XP SP2.

use RESHACK (freeware) to open up any exe or dll file

[Q] Write DLL Resource file in Visual Studio

Hi,
I have Visual Studio 2005 and i want to create a DLL that includes resources like Icons and bitmaps, so i made one and tried to compile and create the DLL (Used C++) and it gives me the error error LNK2001:.....
I thought that i must use ARM Platform or Pocket PC, because on the Project Properties is Win32 set as Platform!
Sorry i never used Visual Studio ;-)

yes if you want to compile it for pocket pc, you got to change the platform
if you only got win32, maybe you didn't install the windows mobile SDK (you will find it in microsoft website, wm6 is the lastest i think)
you got to install it, then you choose the WM platform before compile

WM6: start Java app from C++ app?

Hello,
I'm currently in the need to code a C++ app under Windows Mobile 6 that starts an installed Java app. I already hoped that call system("java java_app") might work, but my C++ compiler (VS 2005) does not even know system() function. And I don't think it would work this way: to install a Java app, I start a .jar file, and then, I can start the app manually via start menu under Start -> Program Files -> Tools -> Java, where I can select from all installed Java apps, and obviously, the installation does not create .jar or. class files anywhere in the file system. The Java runtime environment on my phone (HTC Diamond) is an Esmertec Jbed.
Thanks for any help.

As far as I could find out, Java apps under Jbed JVM can be started from command line by
\windows\jbed.exe -run sX_
where X=0,1,2,3,... ist the index of the desired app in the list of installed Java apps. So, Java app can be started from C++ programm using ShellExecuteEx(), filling the lpFile member of the SHELLEXECUTEINFO parameter with "\\windows\\jbed.exe" and lpParameters member with "-run sX_".
Very nice, so far, however, there are two troubles remaining:
- the index X of the desired Java app depends on the sequence, in which the Java apps have been installed
- the Java midlets have a hierarchical structure. A midlet might contain several sub-midlets, but only the highest-level midlets are accessable by the s-index

Well, I think the hierarchical structure is a solvable problem, the desired midlet can be installed as a top-level midlet. But still the index problem. Is there maybe a registry entry that maps midlets to indices?

I found the solution!
Jbed stores for each installed midlet a sX_.jah, sX_.obj and a sX_suite.utf file in \windows\appdb folder. The .jah and .obj are binary files, but the .utf files are readable text files that contain some information of the corresponding midlet, that enables one to identify midlet from index X. So, all I need to do in my C++ app is to open the .utf files subsequently and to check if I find the information that identifies the desired midlet.

Applet support?

Hi,
I know HTC supports java. With regard to that, I have some questions/doubts.
1. Whether the HTC supports Applet, in other word the IE/Opera/Skyfire browser supports applet? Since many of the banking application I am using is having the logon in applet and it's not loadind in opera. Any idea how to achieve it?
2. I have installed Mysaifu JVM which will run the java program. So it accepts .class file or .jar file. I need to compile it in my phone. How can I do it?
For example: I will write my own java file(.java). I need a compiler to compile the .java to .class file.

[Q] [FILE] FakeGPS.DLL / FakeGPS.CAB urgently needed

Urgently need FakeGPS.DLL and/or FakeGPS.CAB from Windows Mobile 6 SDK (couldn't extract it myself with MSI Extractor form the .MSI file I downloaded from MS).
TIA

The attached file is the zipped contents of :-
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\GPS
It contains:-
FakeGPS.CAB
FakeGPSReadme.txt
Settings.exe
SettingsReadme.txt
The CAB is 1,793Kb
These files also appear in the 6.5.3 DTK, but they seem to be the same files, (size etc.)

Thanks for helping. Now I could extend a project of mines (installing the necessary fake GPSID in WinCE is omitted next):
Code:
If(DeviceEmulator)
// Install FakeGPS
// Fake GPS enables to receive data using the GPS APIs even if there is no GPS receiver on the device.
// The GPS data is read from NMEA .txt files that reside in \Program Files\FakeGPS\GPSFiles.
If(DirExists(MyFolder\"FakeGPS"))
If(NOT DirExists("\Program Files\FakeGPS"))
MkDir("\Program Files\FakeGPS")
XCopy(MyFolder\"FakeGPS\Program Files\*.*","\Program Files",1)
CreateShortcut("\Windows\StartUp\FakeGPS.lnk","\Program Files\FakeGPS\FakeGPS.exe")
// Restart emulator
Reset
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
Thanks again.

You are more than welcome.
Fortunately I keep an old laptop running 32 bit XP, just so I can run the emulator images and earlier versions of Visual Studio on it. It even has Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 and 4.0.
None of these will run properly under 64 bit Windows 7. Under an XP virtual machine is not a solution either. Virtual machines under virtual machines? Nope!
