Opengl ES development for o2 xda flame - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I have the o2 xda flame and I want to develope 3d app for it using its 3d accelerator.
The problem is that I dont know how to link with the opengl es dll's in the device.
I used the vincent/rasteroid opengles implemenation on the device and they are working (but no hardware accelaration so its not good and very slow).
Can anyone explain me how do I link with the device's dlls (libGLES_CM.lib and libEGL.lib)?
btw I'm using visual studio 2005.
Thanks.

You need the correct libraries. Its using a Goforce 5500 chip from Nvidia, which mean you have to get the libraries from nvidia. Usually only given to certified developers. But try to register at their Mobile developer site and hold your thumbs

Welcome to XDA-Dev
Don't forget to cross-post your suff to
1. the Flame thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305686
2. the CorePlayer forums (I've linked it in from the above thread) - the latter people will surely look into the secrets of the 5500, particularly now that the i-mate Ultimate series will also have it and the Toshi G900 also has it.

anyone know of a website with games??

too download for free??? thanx
Search for freewares.
Just please don't ask for warez on this site. There are many other sites for that kind of stuff.
V
why not just download the emulators atari 2600 nes snes like 1 million games
i dont think he was necessarily asking for warez.. i think he ment free games.. must be all the 420, makes for bad grammer
have at it
http://www.freewareppc.com/
I also recommend following / reading my games reviews / news; I often review free titles. For example, I recommend S-Tris2 the most (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1249&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )

im at work and have limited resources due to the company firewall and doing this on my phone sucks... and will search when i get home, but maybe you can help in the meantime... me and they guys around me with PPC phones were talking about games.. and are wodering if there are any games out there that are 2 or more player via bluetooth or wifi on ppc, or maybe even that will cross platform with palm (would probably have to be a java game for that, i dont know palm so cant say for sure)

Dedicated .NET CF development forum?

I spent a few days last week trying to find active forums for .net mobile developers. I ended up finding a few via microsoft's site innovateonwindowsmobile.com, but the best i found only had a couple posts in the last 2 weeks, nothing as active as this community.. i also checked in on codeproject.com and found some stuff there, but a lot of their articles on .net compact framework development are a few years old..
i was wondering if anyone here was familiar with better forums for .net mobile developers, or if xda-developers would be well suited to create a .net specific development forum (or a forum for software development - not mixed in with rom image development, etc.)
i am currently working on an app to replace the standard office mobile's tasks application - and i hope to recruit some beta testers in the coming weeks.
thanks for any helpful suggestions you might have!
What about forums.microsoft.com ?

Barcorama - barcode reader software

Hello xda-developers
I am developing an application that utilizes the phone's camera to shoot and recognize 1D (and 2D) barcodes, like the ones found on virtually every consumer's product. The app is basically developed on my kaiser, that's why the main discussion thread is on the kaiser's forum, here (to moderators: please let me know if this cross-threading is inappropriate... or maybe close one of two so the discussion won't fork).
No kaiser specific API's are used, so the app should run on any device with .NET v2.0. Keep in mind though that, without a focus-capable phone, most barcodes will probably fail to be recognized!
have fun,
hypest

Is it possible to make it look up the barcode on Amazon to find the best price etc? That would be well handy when shopping!
Something like Delicious Library for Macs would be perfect on Windows Mobile

Good idea, but I have no experience with Amazon... does Amazon include the product's barcode on its page?

If someone gives me barcode reader code, I'll make the Amazon search part of it and release the app for free

Doesn't BarcodeZilla already do that?
Hmm, nice. I want the barcode reader code for another project I'm working on and was only willing to do the Amazon thing if someone gave me the code and asked for it
I found some code for .NET that can read barcodes but so far haven't got it to work on .NET CF

disassemble windows mobile applications?

hello,
i was hoping to get some help on disassembling windows mobile applications and infoormation about the tools i need to patch them, etc.
i have the windows mobile emulator setup and i am experienced with x86 reverse engineering, i would love to start hacking windows mobile apps now...
any help/links appreciated.
i will use this information only for learning purposes.
no replies...
does nobodt know or is it against the rules to tell me.
im sorry if its against the rules... mods can close this thread if it is.
no warez in this forum, hacking shareware/comercial apps is considered warez too. also u asked the wrong question.
He didn't ask if he could HAVE the software, but information as to what he needs. He could be wanting to buy the software for all we know. That's not a warez issue, me thinks.
Not to be an arse, but if hacking commercial apps is considered warez, then why has the Mobile Shell thread reached 90+ pages?
I think if you purchase a program and would like to hack it to allow customization then what is the big deal?
Besides, how is this ANY differn't then disasembling Windows Mobile and cooking it on our phones - I doubt MANY of us have the official version of windows on our phone!
dissasm is taking a bin file and making it into asm == the instruction mnemonics
the lowest form of code
some other tools can then make it or try to make it into readable c++ code
one needs alot of skills to do anything with the pure asm
and even portet back to c++ it's in horrid sematics as few of those translaters do a good
code struct job
it's not illegal in itself unless the ULA of the program state that it is which most comercial apps does

the mobile shell thread has 90+ pages and all... but noone haked the program... the program (as is) has not been altered in any way... just the graphics that the program uses
IDA will disassemble winmo exe files.
and i dont think this thread is against the rules because you dont specify what program/s you want to disassemble. for all we know,you want to disassemble free open source programs .
...hacking doesnt mean malicious intent. If he wanted to "hack" a registry code he would be cracking. Hacking means taking things about, figuring out how they work, putting them back together to work better, etc.
The term was originally coined to refer to the programmers that sat there and "hacked away" at the keyboard to create a program.
I will point out it is used to mean malicious intent these days, albeit incorrectly.

Someone "hacked" the password to get to those graphics now didn't they?
By no means am I faulting what has been done. I have enjoyed many hours of MS customization over the past month, and appreciated your help on many occasions pcarvalho.
If we speak so, then.... changing graphics in an app is already a hacking. You just don't understand this word, and go away from this thread, please.
As someone earlier replied, IDA Pro is capable of disassembling binaries for almost every processor

I think SPB Mobile Shell is what they where referring to...

[PRJ][21OCT2009] Pebbles goes open source! We need your help!

Hi Guys,
I have come to you with great news: Pebbles, the remote control software, goes (probably) open source. At the moment, I am in contact with Brad Myers, the former head of the development team involved in Pebbles. The Project has been stopped a long time ago, but I am trying to convince him, that a release of the source code to open source under a GPL License is way better than simply abandoning such an excellent project.
I also told him that the best programmers concerning Windows Mobile Devices can be found here. So I hope that there are some experiences programmers with a bit free time in here. I can deliver all necessary graphical elements as I am familiar with this subject for over nine years now.
A quick information for all of you who do not know what Pebbles is:
It consists of some sub-tools, for example Shortcutter, which allows you to define your own buttons. These can send keystrokes and commands to the PC via Bluetooth ActiveSync. Basically, it is a remote control tool.
Furthermore, there is Scribbles, a tool which is used when you are holding a presentation. You write on your device and it will generate an overlay onto your presentation.
And there is also RemoteCommander, a kinda-VNC which also supports Scribble.
There are some more, to be found here.​
Hopefully there are some programmers willing to put their efforts and experience into this great project. I am sure that the base of the software is well-written, as it still runs smoothly and without a single problem on my current hardware specs, which are Windows 7 (x64) on 8GB RAM and an HTC Touch Diamond with Windows Mobile 6.1.
For any further questions do not hesitate to post in here. If the project is opened on Sourceforge, I also can give you my ICQ and E-Mail details if needed.
I am looking for your responses, please also do vote the poll.
Regards,
Zuzler a.k.a. Stefan
Below, you can find an excerpt of my recent contact with Brad Myers from the School of Computer Science in Pittsburgh:
That is an excellent idea. We will look into the legal issues and get back to you. It will probably take a few weeks to work out.
Are there lots of windows mobile devices still? Does software for old devices work on newer ones?
Any recommendations for where to put our source code so people can work on it? Like sourceforge or something? What do people mostly use?
Brad Myers

My reply on this was:
Yes, there is a whole new generation out there. I for example got an HTC Touch Diamond, which has a resolution of 640x480 pixels, over 500 mhz and 4 GB storage. It has a touchscreen (it has just four keys, e.g. for answering calls and going back to home), GPS ans WiFi support. My Operating System is Windows Mobile 6.1 whereas my regular OS (i.e. at home) is Windows 7 (64 bit), and Pebbles runs smoothly on it. So I think Pebbles already has the best start as there are no OS issues with Windows as far as I am aware of.
For more information on the GPL you can have a look at the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License). On the bottom there are more links to the original text. I would recommend he GPL Version 3, which is the latest one.
Sourceforge would also have been the platform of my choice. I will create a topic at the xda-developers.com forums to collect peoples responses on this subject.

Reserving this post for future updates.
I am interested in this. I'm using an old Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard, OMAP180 200MHz) upgraded to Windows Mobile Professional 6.5.
I'm already using SallingClicker which offers similar features, but I'm always willing to try something new...
Hi,
yes, Salling Clicker is a similar tool, it offers many features but the knowledge you have to have on order to create a working script is way too much.
I hope that there are some programmers here, which are willing to support this project. Then we also can create a wishlist, new features which should be added in 'our' first release.
Regards
An open source project would be awesome!
Looked at the specs of the original program, and it looks nice! Make it up to date, implement full touchscreen support, and this would be a winner!
I hope that I will receive a confirmtion by the end of this week.
One problem however is, that I do not have any experience in coding, the only thing I can do is graphics.
So my plea to all of you coders out there is: When time has come please have a look at the source code and tell us, if you can help us.
Maybe we also can create an "award system" - users request features, when they are implemented they can donate to the developers.
Maybe a mod can move this thread to the new created subforum "Windows software development"?
Regards,
Zuzler
I'm really looking forward to this software! It is bookmarked and I hope that we will have a nice new version...
