Not HTC specific... The .NET CF is good for almost all needs, and provides access to almost anything. For general WM developing, the WM6 SDK provides almost everything you'll need...

one of the programs w as gona make included getting information from the radio, what DRC Index the EvDO radio is currently using any help on this?

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?

BASIC app development

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:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppForge
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

How to create apps for Windows Mobile device...

So I'm interested in trying to create an application for my Windows Mobile device, a tilt. It doens't have to be anything grand, for that matter a simple calculator will sufice..
Is there a noob guide for dummies that would kind of spell out the process of building the app then deploying the app to my phone?
Anyone have some source code they would be willing to share?
I'm familiar with VB but not vb.net, I have vb.net 2002 available but worry it's too outdated???
I'm hoping you guy's can shed some light on some start to finish guidelines.
Thanks.
TW,
I'm quite interested in this question too
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 + C#, works great.
I do not like VB (anymore), but I think it's worth upgrading, 2002 -> 2008, there've been new .NET versions and so on ... I'd use a newer version.
Visual Studio 2005 + VB.NET over here. Works great. Though I'd like to upgrade to .NETCF 3.5 asap.
Please use the search, this question has been asked several (or a lot of) times before.
Hey I program with VB.Net over Visual Studio 2005
You will need an additional SDK for your phone too:
for wm6 you find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&displaylang=en
then you can select it when you create a new project, see here

Rhapsody, any links that you could provide? are you referring to creating/compiling an app for WM6 or the golf application?
Anyone have some basic source they might like to provide? something with GPS using the "GPS Intermediate Driver" would be excellent... it sure would help to get the ball rolling.

The MSDN is what you need.
http://www.msdn.com (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/bb847935(en-us).aspx)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windowsmobile/default(en-us).aspx - Windows Mobile
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn - MSDN Forums (has also a subforum for Mobile Devices)
The MSDN contains tons of information and a lot of quick start samples as well.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm a little confused on the different software packages that Micrsoft has available, .NET and Visual Studio, Professional, Team, etc...
Does Visual Studio 2005 include all that is needed? What's the difference between VS 2005 and VS 2008?
Thanks,
[EDIT]
I wanted to post back with a link I found for anyone else interested - hxxp://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/31198 it's a good article on creating setup files for your mobile device. If I can find something in VB with regard to GPS positioning and VS 2005 I think I've got a start...

Yup i had the same issue, I couln't find a place where it was clearly mentioned what was needed and how to start.
Then I came across this program : basic4ppc
It's easy and not too expensive, they have a trial version available
the only drawback to the trial vesion you can only simulate the program, exporting to exe file doesn't work, you'll have to buy the program.
I liked it so much I bought it
cool, giving it a go now

Get Visual studio 2008, you can actually get visual studio 2008 professional for free if you are a student, mainly in the US, but also abroad... check the microsoft vs 2008 website, cant remember the link
The other free version, visual studio 2008 express is useless to you since it will not do pocketpc/smartphone development
Or you can get a trial copy of VS 2008
Once you have it., you can create a new project, and you can select the pocketpc/smartphone type and you will be off to development land....

Linux on TyTN or TyTN II

Hello,every body.I want to ask something about how to make our wm phones run linux mobile system.I know there are many elites in this forum.They are intelligent.
I kown there are somebody use mobile linux mobile system on smartphone, as one of our member Hikey used linux on HTC S710 before. It looks very cool. Still,some guys also made rom that inclueded windows mobile system and linux mobile system.When the phone starts,there will be a system starting guid to let you choose,just as the PC.It is so cool.
I just want to experience how exciting using double systems on mobile phone will be!Can anyone tell me whether there is a linux mobile system for TyTN or TyTN II?Thank you!
I think android uses Linux... http://code.google.com/android/
There should be a cab of it somewhere, a coworker showed it to me on his Tilt.
I dont know too much about there being a version of linux that runs on the HTC, but it seems that there should be a port of some *nix that will run on this hand held, i doubt that it would have the functionality of WM5/6/6.1 currently has on these devices.
Yeah,of course,android can run on TyTN II,because Google has developed a android system for TyTN II.And the phone named HTC Dream will use the android system. What I'm talking about is not the Gphone system but the liunx mobile system runs on some phones as Motorola's phones. I'm so sorry I didn't make my meaning of the post clear.Haha.
Open your eyes
Hi,
please follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273579
The wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Linux
Don't be disappointed, this is only simple text console linux, but it works.
Someone had to start with some GUI.....
Look at handhelds.org or linuxtogo.org for basic information about running linux on mobiles.
Search the web for openmoko and see what's possible.
Cheers,
scholbert
