BASIC app development - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I used to develop apps for WM5 using Appforge Crossfire, using the BASIC language.
For personal reasons I abandoned the Windows Mobile platform for some time. Now I'm back with an HTC Touch and...Appforge is gone! Sold to Oracle...
If someone can poit me to a different solution (developing for the Touch using the BASIC language) or to a place where I can download the client portion of the old Appforge that will work in the Touch...
I would be VERY happy!
Mabe I will even cry...I still have the Appforge licensed development envoirement installed in my computer (paid high cash for it)...but no client for my new device!
Please help!
Thanks
Tunico

guess if you must use basic you can use old embedded vs basic
or better yet basic .net

Contains links to forums with users working on fixes after being left high and dry when Appforge went belly-up:

Good luck.

Maybe NSBasic can help? It works on desktop or mobile, it is quite simple.

Thanks you all for the help.
I just dowloaded NSBasic/CE and wrote simple test app. Everything works!
My trial version wil last 30 days...then $$ time...
Thanks again

Try SprintDB www.kaione.com
I use it and it is brilliant, its like having full blown Microsoft Access on the ocket PC, Macros. modules, forms, queries, the works
But Sprint DB hasn't been developed for a long time.. as I see so far.. Does it work good on a WM5? Also in landscape mode and so on..
Alex
if its for commercial use what about Oracle Lite with Mobile Server.

The latest I heard from Kaione was that they were working on a WM5 version, but I've been using even the existing version with no problems since I got the Universal. It's fine in landscape mode as that was developed for WM2003SE compatibility.
Depending on what you actually want to do, SQLCE is really good. We use it at work, but you'd need to do some programming to use it!
Unfortunately I am not so good in programming databases. Would be nice if I could import some XLS or TXT lists and could design a nice form for the device for viewing..
SprintDB IS being actively developed, just before christmas I became a beta tester for their version 3 of sprintDB.
It works perfectly on WM5 and in landscape. It is a fab product, much easier and better features than all of the others I have tried.

JSR-82 (java-bluetooth) Possible for hermes?

Hi all,
I have done some searching from the forums about java using bluetooth and did not find anything. This is my first post here so blame it on my noobiness if I just missed it.
So.. what I understand (and that is not much in win based mobile devices at this point) the JSR-82 is a some kind of a "framework" which enables java to use bluetooth in applications. I have been trying to use some java applications meant to be used with bluetooth, only to find out that it is not supported with hermes (HTC Tytn with win mobile 5.0 to be more accurate.)
Now I am asking you is there any way around this and is it possible to get this JSR-82 whatever working with my tytn. It would be nice since it would enable the use of java based chat applications and such, which are using bluetooth. Java for that reason that then I could run the same applications as my friends for example with sony ericson.
Sorry for my bad language and bare in mind that this is my first post. thanks for all the answers and have a nicest day!
Sincerely yours,
Henry
No one else wants to use bluetooth functions thru java? or am I missing something critical here?

Can a Palm OS platform run simultaniously on a WM6 phone?

Hi guys, I have an HTC touch (sprint) and got a job with a air balancing company and they have software that links their ppc's to their server for live data entry. however the application is only available for the palm os. Does anyone know if installing multiple OS's on a phone is even possible, like installing linux on an ipod? or if not, any way to convert a palm os application to WM6 combatible application. If needed, i have the install files for my application, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If nothing exists i would even consider payment for the application to be convtered if anyone is intrested.
Thank you
Matt
you would probably have to build the application up again from the ground up if its a native palm application, although, if its written in a common language, i dont see why it couldnt be ported over
somebody more knowledgable should be able to help you better
and welcome to xda-devs
you can use styletap to run palmOS apps on windows mobile, if this is what you want to do.
Well, im 50% there, styletap works great, im able to load the software and run it, no glitches yet, however styletap doesnt seem to be allowing the application to sync with my server. any1 have any ideas? i even tried first establishing a data conn in WM6 using IE and hopped back to style tap to sync again. no luck

Remote Administration?

Good morning!
I was curious if anyone is aware of any remote administration software that I could use to admin my Windows Vista Home Premium machine FROM my mobile phone?
Apparently in all of MS's wisdom they have felt the need to strip the remote control software from all versions of Vista excluding Business, and Ultimate. There is afew hacks floating around to enable the remote access services but since the SP1 release this has further disabled the functionality and have not found much information as to restoring it.
Basically I am curious is anyone is aware of any thirdparty software that I could purchase that is A) WIndows Vista compatible. B) Has a Windows Mobile Client
Or if anyone is aware of a new method to activate the remote admin service on Windows Vista Home Premium WITH Service Pack 1 then I would also be interested in this as well. As it would save some money hehe and of course allow me to utilize the RDC application already loaded on my HTC.
PS. I love you whoever recommended me to use ORB on a previous post. Now all I need is for my bloody Canadian carrier to get the Dam HTC Diamond pro!!!!!!
P.S.S. Thank you is in order for everyone here, You have all been so very helpful with any questions I have had and appreciate all the hard work and efforts you all put forth. You have definitely improved my own personal experience with my phone.
I have tried few remote control programs but ended up getting this one. Its the best. Really fast, easy to use and many features. Its kinda expencieve. They do let you try it. You can try free VNC route too but its no where as good as Z2.

I like logmein.com it's free and pretty reliable you have to install a client on the pc and then you are able to login from ppc or pc

This site kicks butt i use it to work on computers at 8 soon to be 9 different locations
Update: After some deeper digging I did manager to find a working patch that has a bat file that fixes the services for ANY version of windows Vista to activate the Remote desktop service WITH Service Pack 1 installed.
http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/
I ran the bat file for my version which is home premium it took 30 seconds then added the port to my firewall as listed and poof able to use RDC for my mobile to do things on my home pc!
Thank you for the other solutions as well. Logmein is pretty snazzy i must say!

Windows on Advent Vega

Hello im new to android i have a advent vega but will love it to have some sort of windows on it if anyone has any ideas or if this is possible please post thanks
Apparently the next version of Windows will be able to run on ARM processors such as the Tegra 2 in the Vega. I doubt it'll end up on the Vega, though someone might port it over.

If we do get windows on vega, would be able to install windows software such as skype,msn etc i probaly guess so but please correct if im wrong
I would be very surprised if windows will ever come to our vegas. Memory i would say is the main issue, xp would be the only one able to run with 512mb of ram, and that has poor touch screen support. I am running windows 7 with 1gb of ram (min system req) on my laptop, and it runs very slow. As far as i am aware even the netbook version needs 1gb. Be happy with android.
I wasn't really talking about windows 7 (although i would like that) but windows CE or windows mobile.
PS . As I said I only want it for the software.

Won't ever happen, windosws mobile is all closed source. Android is much better anyway, just get used to it
Agreed, winmob on the vega prob wont occour.
I too, miss some great apps and games which doubtfully will ever appear on andriod. The android gaming community, seems a little shallower than the wince lot.
I stll keep my htc touch and diamnd 2 specifically because of this.

i think if we can get android 3.0 (or whatever the numbers will be) on our vega's, its more then enough to have enough fun with it, an operating system that does not thing its a smartphone and optimized for tablets. i used many android smartphones before, but using even 2.2 on vega is more fun then any smartphone i think, at least you can read web sites and not harm your eyes
PS : i have a joojoo tablet too, which runs win7 and i think android is better and faster on a tablet like vega ( tegra2 tabets).
Some of the cheap import tablets like the Zenithink ZT-180 have roms for WinCE - but from what I have read nobody really uses them since even WinCE is pretty poor as a tablet OS (well, that and the ZT-180 is pretty rubbish!).
as a student you can get the windows embedded 7 development kit for free, that should be able to run on the advent vega but my knowledge isnt yet sufficient to build and deploy a rom in order t test it
I honestly don't understand this kind of question:
You have Windows a system built for PCs and to be operated specific using keyboard and mouse.
And then you have Android a system built for mobile devices to be operated specific with a touch screen.
I guess the question is not IF it's possible, but WHY in a hell would anyone even bother porting it?
Do you miss msn and skype? I got news for you, just download Skype and eBuddy from the market. Solved!

What about office tools? i have yet to find a decent word processor that retains all (or most) of word's features.
sadly, while gdocs looks lovely, writing documents is still a pain..
Although I also wish that I could do some serious work on my tablet / smartphone, you simply can not do it (too small screen => primarily wasn't meant for this kind of job, but it's great in mobility and therefore "valuable information on the go").
Tablets & smartphones are used to consume / present information and PCs / workstations are used to generate that information.
I have also tried all kind of Office software (QuickOffice HD, Polaris Office, Docs To Go, GDocs,...), but reality is that generating information on Android is 30-50% slower than on a 20" monitor with keyboard & mouse hooked on a PC.
Yes, you could make a new office software on Android that would need a keyboard, mouse & external monitor, but that would defeat the purpose of mobility.
And sadly there is no such good software on Android with so many funtionalities that are found in Microsoft Office.
IMHO you can do up to 30 minutes of work without problems, for anything above that, please do yourself a favor and use a PC.
This something that may interest you. Only on ipad as of now, but I am sure will be on android soon.

Edit OK can't post a link... search windows thin client via on live.
Yes, I already heard of that tech.
It's something like remote desktop (but a bit better).
http://desktop.onlive.com/overview
Will see how this performs in real life when it's released for Android.

And that time is NOW!
OnLive Desktop is now available on Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.desktop
For free registration and more info, check my above post!
I would like to hear your thoughts on this software!
EDIT: It appears the download is US only.
Here is a link to APK file.
Hmmmm interesting I am downloading now

Yani, its a good app, have you tried? I will use this all the time when I use my Vega during work. I find the windows apps quite poor on Android (I uses docs to go). This is great for reading and creating basic files. There are a few problems I have found so far.
1. The UI is not really designed for touch screen, I used with my docking station, keyboard and mouse but still was hard to click on the right part due to the alignment being off slightly on the mouse pointer.
2. Docs saved to the virtual desktop can be downloaded from a site called files.onlive.com. However when you try to access this site it says 'only available in USA'. So might be a nightmare to get off what you have created.
What do you think?

Sorry, but I haven't used this myself.
If you read my signature, I'm still on stock Froyo and this app needs at least Gingerbread.
I've read only good things about this.
I use QuickOffice for documents, but I only view documents, and these android office apps aren't even good at that!
But I've tried OnLive (for gaming) on SGS and it's amazing!!!!111one
Now to get some answers for your questions:
1. I think you need to restart your OnLive desktop in order to fully accept your mouse&keyboard input.
2. I went to https://desktop.onlive.com/account/myfiles and uploaded a doc file and then redownloaded it without a problem. I'm from Slovenia - EU and I've used Firefox on a PC with Ubuntu/Linux OS.
hi lats how to install im write my email address and nothing why sombody help mi?thanks
