WinCE shell in WM - is it possible? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Shall I question - it is possible start on WindowsMobile6 graphic interface from WindowsCE? (best that, what had HP Jornada 72x ) Meanwhile I'm found application, which only transfer start panel to lower part display.

Not really. There is an app (sorry, don't remember the name) that makes today screen look like win XP but I am not even sure if it work on WM 6.
The shell part of CE is not there.

That application (maybe) called PocketWin, but it needed Macromedia Flash Player

Shutdown (Windows XP Style) enhances your PocketPC with an XP-style shutdown screen. It includes a shortcut in the start menu and can be used to perform a soft-reset without having to use the reset button.

PocketWin is a new kind of Pocket PC launcher that is intended to completely replace your Today screen. It features a sleek design and a Windows-like interface. PocketWin is made with Macromedia Flash and requires Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC installed. What makes PocketWin different from other program launchers is it's extreme flexibility. You might compare PocketWin to a set of Lego pieces that you yourself can add up to build that very thing you've always dreamed of. With it's extended plugin capability there are virtually no limits to what can be accomplished with PocketWin. The new update provides a number of new features and interface improvements that will put all other launchers to shame!

The latest update has the following set of new features:
Full WM2003 compatibility!

Create your own skins with our SDK (Skin Developer Kit) *soon to be released
Browse for files - no more inputting by hand
Create unlimited number of folders to arrange your shortcuts more efficiently
New interface elements, such as improved Windows XP like start menu and control panel
Shut down and restart your Pocket PC - XP style!

I think what you have is the iSpin Launcher which is a Palm OS program, not for Pocket PC. That's as far as I can read, I can't read Thai, sorry.

Windows Mobile emulators?!!!!

Hey,
As you all know I've made a site for touch friendly programs: www.touch-innovation.com
Basically to help me through adding programs and such, I need a windows mobile emulator to make life easier for me!
Link me to some please - free if you can
Isn't there one on the windows site in the wm sdk?
I have that, but it's not an emulator as such, it just catches things (if you see what I mean)

It is an emulator. It emulates hardware and therefor enables Windows Mobile to run on hardware that wouldn't be able to run it without emulation.
I use it. You will need microsoft visual studio 2005 or better to start with.
What about the free one from Microsoft? In addition to that you need some emulator images:
Cook one (see my signature)
Download them form Microsoft, too.

What's the best way to enjoy SPB Mobile Shell 3?

Hi all,
Currently, SPB Mobile Shell 3 is developping well, a thread is about all tricks is available HERE
But, as you can see, there is still some lack of usefull things... like Album viewer, Music player incorporated... I remarked there were an easy way to go back to the TODAY place...
That's why i am asking you this question:
What program is for the best to run with SPB Mobile Shell 3?
#1 Win 6.5 Titanium, which ROM and why?
#2 Win 6.5 Titanium, using WM 7 project
#3 Win 6.1, new start menu, which rom and why ?
#4 Win 6.1, old start menu, which rom and why?
#5 ROM isn't important, just configure well the today, explain it to us!
#6 SPB Mobile Shell is perfect for me.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but you can't really use the titanium plugin with Mobile Shell 3 since they both take over the today screen so I'm not sure I follow the poll..
Personally I use Mobile Shell with WM6.5 and have mobile shell overwrite start menu.
I still think Manilla2d is better but am still testing out mobile shell for the time being.
I tested SPB MS 3 on my Diamond with:
new Startmenu(Topaz)
TF3D
TodayAgenda on today
TFDetacher
I found it quite good to have all these three things running, but due to the LARGE memory footprint i banned SPB MS.
If there was an option to disable several pages to free up some ram (e.g. favourites carousel is quite redundant and just to show off, not to use), I might get back.
Also the lack of the former lock screen (Password lock overlay) was quite frustrating.

CORE COMPONENTS SKIN - Buttons, scrollers, combo boxes....

Hello all,
I'm looking for any program/hack to skin core components of Windows Mobile like buttons, scrollers, combo boxes, radio buttons, sliders... Since the first version of Windows Mobile MS hasn't changed terrible Windows 3.x like skin Even on new WM6.5 (except the scrollers). Do somebody know any program to change this awful old style? On Palm there are some programs (e.g. http://www.3gxsoft.com/palmrevolt/ ) so I hope there is any program even for Windows Mobile ;-)
Do somebody know at least how to change/add skin of these core components???
I think you forgot to use search.
There's an entire section on themeing, for example for the Diamond.
You can change some of the components via tsk files, but most of them require editing resource files like shellres, tshres and so on.
wisbar. (not WAD), just wisbar is only method for skinning what cannot be done in 6.5 feeble m$ methods.

Question for the developers?

How can I make VS2008 let me deploy to my HTC TOUCH HD
i can only deploy to thje standard devices so my app does not look like it should (i.e. windows mobile 6 stanard, professional, vga, square vga etc)
any help would be gratefully received
you can download the sonyE x1 sdk it got a emulator which is wvga
of cause you can also just alter one of the other ones
you can change the res to custom in their settings
Download the Windows Mobile 6.1.4 emulator images, they have a greater range of screen sizes to try out.

hello,
I don't have VS here but :
- connect your device using active sync
- start your VS smartdevice project
- in the top bar, there is a list where you select the emulator, choose your device (WM6 Pro Device should be fine)
- click on the small icon "Connect to device" next to this list
- tadam! you can then debug your programs running on the device!
I made this for my Diamond and my Touch Pro and it's really perfect (for testing sensor components )
Hope this helps!
PS: download.microsoft.com and get the latest WM 6.5 SDK!
