Hi all,
Has anyone used the MIDlet manager on the XDA2 from O2 (UK)?
It's just sitting in the program directory, doing nothing.
I'm using it, its really hard to get Midlet 2.0 programs for it though!
What I wonder is if the new vodafone 256 v-appli games work on the XDA 2.
http://nfg.2y.net/games/jphonegames/index2.htm
I really would like to know how exactly to get these games.
i have messed a bit with it installed
master of kung fu, mdoom and monkey madness just for fun
it works ok
Yeah,it is hard to find a working java application because they are made for phones like Nokia,Siemens,etc.. with built in keyboard.
You can find some ugly and unuseful java app in http://midlet.org/ by free.

Is there a working version of the acrobat reader for windows mobile 5?
My imate Jas-jar came with Clear Vue PDF viewer included. I think it is bundled with WM5 however it does not appear in the programs folder. Try opening a pdf file, and I think you will find it opens in Clear Vue .
ClearVue doesn't seem to open about 75% of my files, which were all created on highest compression... Gotta find a better alternative. I had Picsel on my Palm before that was awesome.
ClearVue is on the companion CD, you need to install it manually.
ClearVue is the most ****ty pdf reader I have tried so far and was the initial reason why I asked for adobe acrobat reader for wm5 in here.
How about adobes own with a VGA hack for force it to high res? this is what i use.
can you be more specific about that vga hack ? Also; iahev tried to install adobes acrobat reader, but had no luck ....
hi
i have working version of acrobat reader, got it from adobe website, here is the link
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html
Try the one for ARM and X-Scale models
Ok Bye
get tweaks2k and use the 'force vga' thing
Hi,
Have a look at a program called Styletap - apparently it allows you to run Palm OS apps on Windows Mobile v5.
I haven't tried it yet, but I used to own a palm with a few progs so I might give it a go.
It might help you run your old Palm reader.
Regards
Michael

You must download free Adobe 2.0 Version in ENGLISH !
That is the only one, work with the Universal.
All other Lang. are not working !
If it freeze during start, tap sometimes on screen,-it will works !
Adobe's version of Acrobat
Got to go with the Adobe version - sure its bloated and takes the usual age to load each time you start it fresh - but it beats clearview hands down

Bloated? It takes a couple of minutes to load for me!
Gimme a PDA version of Foxit, and hurry up 'bout it!
It took 15 secs to load on my Exec. Not great but at least it can actually read PDF documents unlike ClearVue.
Adobe reader for pocketPC v2.0 work well on my o2 mini.
If I can remove some plugin, it could be smaller in installation. Anyone can help which files to remove? Thanks!

Adobe acrobat 1.0-better than 2.0
Hi guys. Of cource i am looking for something better that could open all sorts of books like all of us.I stumbled upon this post and I see your issues.I must admit thet the embeded clearvue Pdf(if I'm right) suks and I never used it.Also I downloaded the Adobe 2.0 when I got my Jasjar,just to realize theat IT HAS 14 MB!!!.A lot .And loading ...and loading...
Anyways,I owned before mj jasjar an Ipaq and had adobe 1.0 on it.So I installed it on my partner(Jasjar) and it works wonderfully for me.
Opens up in seconds and does all that needs to get a book or a document.
I'll try to put it up here someplace. Let's see if I can figure it out.
I found something here as well: http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0067.asp

Good Luck.
Hi all,
does anyone know if there is trick to install Microsoft Visual Basic runtime in my Universal (JasJar) ?
Thanks
nicoska
There is no VB Runtime for Windows Mobile. The closest you can do is installing The .NET Compact Framework, but you will not be able to run VB Scripts or VB applications on a Windows Mobile device. At least not now anyway.

I've installed this http://www.funambol.com/opensource/downloads.html
Is a SyncML client for PocketPC and when i tap on it ask me to install Visual Basic Runtime.
It's possible ?
thanks
nicoska
Interesting. I went there and noticed it is for PPC 2003. I tried installing it (but didn't let it go through)
It did look like it was going to install some VB Runtime for PPC. (It showed up on the screen)
Check your add/remove programs and see if it's in there. If it is, then it probably doesn't work with WM 2005.
Good luck

Yes, indeed. This should be a eMbedded VB Runtime, which works with WM 2003.
Visual Studio 2005 should be delivered me in the next days, and for all I read by now this will include a VB environment for WM 2005. Possibly this will be compatible to... oh wait! We're talking about Microsoft, aren't we? So, forget this about compatibility... :roll:
Yeah. I tried to create an app in eMbedded VB and it didn't work out of the box on WM 2005. I have used VS2005 and created a couple apps in VB and they work, but I needed to install the MS CF 2.0 and that was it.
I had assumed that WM 2005 was supposed to have CF 2.0, but mine did not. I also have a Qtek 9100, not a 9000. So the Jasjar's and 9000's may have it already.
thanks a lot.
Please let me know when you get the vb runtime for wm5, so then i can check if sync ml works.
bye

which app? the VS2005 one? Or the eMbedded VB one?
I actually don't have the eMbedded VB one anymore.
I'll attach this simple one created in VB off of VS2005. It just powers off or resets the device. (It is not signed)
Also if you are just curious about the CF runtime you can run \Windows\cgautil.exe and it will pop up with all the versions of the Framework. Mine only has 1.0 by default. After installing 2.0 it shows both.
I was using a bunch of VB apps on my jamin (prophet) without any problem, and all of a sudden when I try to open them i get; "there is no application associated etc."
Anyone has any clue about that? Can I install (or re-install) visual basic on wm5?
Thanks all

This is, for me, by far the best PIM Manager for Windows Mobile. And it's just been overhauled. Head over to www.handango.com and buy yourself a copy.
their own homepage doesnt even show it as released i am already proud owner of PI 2007 and waiting for the free upgrade that i hope will come
Seems the Smartphone version was pre-released. Bug free versions, including PPC, due a little later.
We will just have to wait.....

You need to look in their forums. Here's the link from Alex (founder of the company):
Pocket Informant Forums
It's just a timing issue, the release is out but the homepage hasn't been updated yet...
Surely the best timing and scheduling program...
I've read that they have a problem with the installer for WM5/6.
I can confirm it doesn't work at the moment. When you run the installer for PI8 it will copy a CAB file for PI7 to your device.
Just upgraded from PI 7 to PI8 through Handango. I was lucky a few weeks ago to get the PI 7 for free through their free app friday promotion.
In case you want to purchase this...here is a coupon worth 25% off at Handango NEWYEAR08
Works through the upgrade also!!!
Cost me only $13.50
Haven't tried to load it yet as I need to work on my whole phone at this point

I've installed it on my device - that installer problem has been ironed out already. It's beautiful!!!!
bugs??
I read it from a forum somewhere that PI8 has bugs where the contacts or appointments dates are jumbled up.... i havent tested this cause i dont have one .... planning to get it though...
anyone can confirm that this bug occurs?
I've been using this program for a few months to help my works organized (though it's a cracked version).
This morning, after knowing they release the new version, I decided to buy it from Handango. Now I have a fully working registered version.
I crashed twice when using this version on my tytn II. Just using for a while only.. Will continue to try for a few day to see how..
PI 8
Works great on my TnTN II !
Supports touch scrolling now, just great
Cheers

Can you use pocketcm as contact manager with this version? With PI7 it kinda took over as default contact mgr and i could never figure out how to use another app for contacts.
The new PI8 has a scrolling feature like PocketCM.....I actually am trying the PI8 contact manager for awhile to see if it is up to par. So far I do not miss Pocket CM.

Not a big deal to get around. Just re-install PocketCM after making PI your default PIM, and PCM becomes the default contact manger with PI7 remaining the default for Calendar and such. Of course, if you click on the contacts icon within PI, it will still go to PI's contacts.
Still need pocketcm for it's chat sms.

great little java multiplayer game, only works on the latest version of the java manager as far as i've tested, has a trial which you can get to lvl 10 but its pretty fun me n Bro played it together on 2 ppcs (TyTN and TyTN 2) and worked well!

Real Dice inc. has an online "Casino" type pack avail. It looks awesome, though about buying it on Handango, the only thing stopping me is, it's an &8/mo subscription, not a full purchase. But currently it allows you to play Texas Hold 'Em, Backgammon, Chess, and two others, can't remember, total of five I believe, all multiplayer or vs. AI. As new multiplayer games are created, you will have access to them at no charge, I believe.
www.Mavec.co.uk rocks and there is a new version coming soon too.
On the first of June starts the crossplatform warspear online. Anyway, I know a site, but its russian =)
anyway you can find out the names of the games and the screenshots. Maybe try to googletranslate it))
cheers guys got a few to look at!
been playing Mavec, dont really understand it tho lol
are there and online adventure type ones?
Cheers.
