Sorry if this gets asked all the time guys, have scoured your excellent forum for info but to no avail.
My ignorance is due to being an ex smartphone owner, which i am sure you know are easy to de-cert.
I just want to chuck a load of games and non-approved utils onto my XDA, but DAMMIT, it won't fookin let me
Cracking forum by the way guys, has taken me ages to find you!
Mart
Never touched a smart phone. I've never heard of "de-cert." What is it? Doesn't sound like something that needs to be done on the XDA, certainly I've never seen it said here, and I've been around since the dinosaur ages.
It allows non valid windows CE applications to be installed - i.e. not officially approved software
I've never heard of an officially-approved piece of software for a Pocket PC. I don't think there is a certification program for that. In any case, your PPC will let you install any PPC software, approved or not, whatever, it won't care.
Excellent, however I keep getting
"filename" is not a valid windows CE setup file.
Am I being stupid here, installing in the wrong way?
I have only seen that error when I tried running the wrong version (not for Pocket PC) on my unit.
Might want to make sure the app is for Pocket PC and that the cpu type is correct.
Cheers - most of my smartphone software must be incompatible then, even though the spv uses a version of PPC.
Any site recommendations where I can get hold of PPC software for free? seems to be damn expensive in most places!
Thanks again
Smartphone software IS certified... Basically, you pay Microsoft to be able to have your software run on smartphones.
Regular pocket PC or windows mobile on xda devices does NOT have this restriction (and those devices are what this forum is about..)
Smartphone software is not PPC-compatible. Lots of titles have releases for both PPC and Smatphone, but I've never seen one that has both in the same release (though I suppose you could package multiple versions with one installer).
In any case, go to the developers' sites and see if they have PPC compatible versions.

Not true, some Smartphone software is certified but not all. There are many applications available for MS Smartphone that can only run on application unlocked handsets. Not all authors can afford to apply for certification and for many utils it's hardly worth the bother. Thankfully for most of the existing handsets it is relatively easy to application unlock them so that uncertified apps can be installed.
And going back to the OP's question, Smartphone software is not the same as PocketPC software and whilst a few rare titles can be run on both, most cannot.
www.freewareppc.com
has loads of goodies on there.
Smartphone software wise - I am not sure but I think I saw an emulator for PPC at one point - could not find it though - does anybody know if this exists as there is some good programs for smartphone that have no PPC equal???
i found this site by pure luck... they programmed this to run on Pocket PCs with at least windows mobile 2003. i tried to install it on my shadow (2007) and its not supported (go figure).
My question is to those of you who know or are programmers and hackers... people have gotten Doom and Duke Nuke'em to run on our little Shadows.... is it possible to hack this thing to do run on our phones?
here's the download site:

i went over to their website's forums and found that they got it to run on the touch pro...
Has anyone been able to get Sky TV's Sky By Mobile working on their HTC Touch HD?
The Sky site lists the supported devices which does not include any HTC devices but I have found a separate thread which mentions getting this working on a HTC Kaiser, http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article785.html but this relies on using the hardware buttons to navigate around which is not possible on the Touch HD.
being able to remote record programs would be really useful for me, I have a work around which involves loggin in the the Sky email via Opera Mobile and then slowly navigating through the web screen TV Guide but this takes about 15 minutes per program, on the iPhone there is a nifty little app that does the same in seconds, the same as on other devices which are supported by the Sky By Mobile application.
I have searched all over the place but as you can guess Sky and Mobile returns thousands of results which makes it particularly painstaking to find anything.
It is a shame & I have e-mailed sky about this many times, they don't seem to take any notice but always say windows mobile will be supported in the future.
I have managed to install it but like you said without hardware keys there is no functionality.
Do you know you can achieve the same goal by sending your skybox a text message? Only downside is you have to know the exact details of what you want to record, but it works.
Only other option there is, which is what I use, is a Slingbox Pro. Then you can watch & remotely control your skybox from your phone or any web browser in the world. Downside for mobiles is it can be a slow process if you are in an area with only GPRS. Edge can work ok, HSDPA is really required for functional use.
Hope this helps.
have you tried the software D pad ... it's in this forum some where ...
Before purchasing my N1, I saw a video of a Zeemote playing nice with Android promising full support 2 come. I've been hunting around and can't find any progress on this. I have my Zeemote working great with my TP2, thanks 2 a program I bought with a modified version 2 support WM. I searched the same site and only found Bluetooth keyboard support for Android. http://www.mymobilegear.com. Anybody heard anything?
Hi .. I just got a zeemote controller too but I only have 2 windows mobile devices. I've been looking for drivers desperately but havent found them yet. Can you please provide a link to the page where you purchased the wm modified drivers pls? I really want to pair my zeemote to my pocket pcs but havent been able to do so yet (no drivers). Pls help me
It is currently still in beta, but the developer is planning to release it to the market very soon. Both the zeemote and the bgp100 gamepads will work with it. I am a beta tester and can confirm that these bluetooth gamepads do in fact work with this software. The name for the beta software is "Gamepro" but not sure if he is planning to call it something else on the market. The website is correct, mymobilegear.com, look in "GamePad Driver Support Forums"
downloaded the drivers, they work great!
Thx for the info, I found the drivers that you mentioned (gamepro) and they work like a charm with the zeemote!! I will definitely purchase the full version of the drivers, since the beta keeps popping a reminder msg. Gaming on my HD2 just got a little bit more serious.. lol. Touchscreen is great but with the zeemote I can do a bit more hardcore gaming that i wasnt able to before (for ex in Megaman x (snes using morphgear) running and jumping while charging the laser..!)
So about a month ago I managed to acquire a Dell Axim X50 low at a garage sale. It is in great running shape and has Windows Mobile 2003 SE on it. I like having little electronics to take to work with me (I am not able to have anything more than a smart phone).
I have been doing a few internet searches, and I cannot seem to find any links anywhere to download the upgrade to Windows Mobile 5. Is there anywhere that anyone knows of where I would be able to acquire it online? I have searched Dell's support website and cannot find any downloads for it anywhere, and support for it has long been dropped. Thanks!

I don't know how up-to-date the website is but htcgeeks.com was always my go-to source for help when I had my Ax.
Have you tried this?

It's an update to WinMo 5.0 but it might work.
Depends whether the installer bothers to look at what's on the device first.
The 33 MB size of the package looks like its a complete WinMo 5.0 ROM
Good Luck!
